✨ My Experience Wearing Glucose Sensors as a Healthcare Professional ✨

I don’t have diabetes — but I decided to wear both the Freestyle Libre and Dexcom sensors to better understand what my clients experience every single day. This first-hand experience has allowed me to empathize more deeply with their challenges and support them more effectively.

I was a bit nervous the first time I applied a sensor. But that feeling faded quickly. Both the Dexcom and Libre were incredibly easy to apply, and before long, I forgot I was even wearing them.

One of the biggest eye-openers for me was seeing how much stress and lack of sleep influenced my blood sugar. The sensors continuously monitored my glucose levels and provided averages that helped me understand my own patterns more clearly.

What blows my mind even more is that some insulin pumps can communicate with these sensors to determine how much insulin is needed.

This kind of integration can help reduce complications and offer relief from frequent finger-pricks.

A few practical things I learned:

🔸 Sensors last about two weeks before needing replacement
🔸 They can be linked to your smartphone for alerts (highs/lows), which can also be turned off
🔸 Health professionals can access live readings with the proper accounts
🔸 Cost can vary — but some extended health plans and medications offer coverage

Do you have any questions about what it was like wearing the sensors? I’m happy to share more! 💬

If your “goals” require endless restriction, constant guilt, or take up all your mental energy… that’s not health, that’s exhaustion.

You deserve peace with food, movement that feels good, and confidence that isn’t tied to how hard you’re working to maintain a certain size.

The real dream? Feeling at home in your body — without the nightmare. 💛

Happy International Women’s Day!

It’s not unusual for me to hear my daughter repeat phrases I say. She is observing everything I do. She’s taking note of my self-talk and how I treat my body.

Today let’s celebrate our bodies and all they have done for us! My body has supported me through so much over the past few years. What’s one thing you are grateful for your body for?

It’s time for some updated headshots! A lot has changed since I shared my last headshots, taken in 2021, but my passion for what I do remains the same.

Since starting my business in 2021, I have expanded my services from providing solely 1:1 nutrition sessions to nutrition presentations, nutrition writing, and partnerships.

I’m looking forward to an upcoming presentation at a school where I will be focusing on body image and your relationship with food. I LOVE working with kids and teenagers!

Anyways, which headshot do you think is the best?
1, 2 or 3?

I don’t always listen to my hunger cues. Does it surprise you that I said that?

Personally, when I am stressed or anxious, I struggle with eating. My hunger cues tend to become blunted when I’m in a state of stress. In previous years, I would rush around during the day and then binge later in the evening. I would sometimes struggle with headaches, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating throughout the day.

I have worked hard to recognize when I am feeling stressed or anxious and have adequate nutrition. When I notice I’m feeling ultra-stressed, I try to schedule meals. The meals are often nothing special but keep me adequately fueled. If I’m very busy or having a hard time tolerating foods, I will carry a high-calorie nutritional supplement with me.

When I meet with client’s hunger cues is often a part of our nutritional counselling sessions. It’s essential that I take an individualized approach to your nutrition, as your situation is unique. Coming from a place of curiosity and no judgment is also so important.

There are several reasons why you may not feel hunger cues. A few reasons may be:

- If you are under a lot of stress, this may affect your hunger cues.
- A recent loss can drastically affect hunger cues.
- Perhaps you’ve been on many diets throughout the years.
- If you are recovering from an eating disorder.

Do you find that stress affects your hunger cues? Have you ever struggled with hunger cues?

I would love to help you with any struggles you may be having with hunger cues and improving your relationship with food. Please reach out to me in my DMs or email, and we can chat about how I can further support you.

It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of my mom, Beverly Martin, on November 17, 2023. For the past 15 years, my mom has been courageously fighting breast cancer.

Until we meet again, our memories will keep playing in my mind on repeat. She loved deeply and taught me the importance of kindness. She was the strongest person I know.

My mom was so encouraging of me being an entrepreneur. She was so proud of me for pursuing my dreams of having a private practice. She was always the first to like my posts and comment on my stories. She was such a huge cheerleader of mine and always pushed me to be the best version of myself.

I am grateful for the time we were able to say our goodbyes. Every day, she fought so hard to stay with us. I know you are no longer in pain and are watching over us.
🙏🏻💕

Thank you, for helping my sister and I to have this last memory with my mom at the hospital. I love the bracelets the 3 of us share and will cherish my bracelet forever.

Some recent moments of happiness….

I have anticipated moments like this for years with my little family. I appreciate the smallest moments the most. Whether it be going for a walk in our neighbourhood, blowing bubbles in our backyard or reading books before bed.

Some of our recent highlights:

- Our 8th wedding anniversary
- Anne finishing kindergarten
- Anne’s 6th birthday
- Noah’s first trip to the beach and strawberry picking

I’m loving this time with my family. At the same time I would be lying to you if I said this time didn’t give me moments of being overwhelmed. Trying to accept that it’s ok if the house is chaos sometimes (ok a lot of the time) and things do not need to be perfect.

I would go through all of the heartaches and challenges again to meet you.

This is one of my favourite blog posts that I’ve worked on with Nüton dietitians.

Oral health is such an important topic to discuss with kids. Approaching oral health without diet culture can be tricky. Diet culture tends to easily sneak its way into our messages. This post provides some great tips for approaching oral health without diet culture.

I would love to know your thoughts on this post. 💕
