We're counting down to Thanksgiving with gratitude! 🍂

Today, we're thankful for the incredible healing capacity of the human body. Every day, we witness patients reclaim their energy, reduce inflammation, and discover what it feels like to truly thrive.

Did you know? Practicing gratitude isn't just good for the soul – it actually lowers inflammation, improves sleep, reduces stress hormones, and supports heart health. Your mindset is a powerful tool in your healing journey!

What aspect of your health are you most grateful for today? 💛

Thanksgiving week is almost here—and whether you're traveling, hosting, or both, a little prep NOW saves your blood sugar (and sanity) next week. 💙

Repeat after me: Prepare → Travel Smart → Host Successfully

Your prep checklist for THIS WEEK:
✅ Meal prep protein-rich breakfasts & snacks for travel days (hard-boiled eggs, turkey roll-ups, nuts, protein balls)
✅ Stock your kitchen with blood sugar-friendly staples before guests arrive (veggies, quality proteins, healthy fats, sugar-free drinks)
✅ Prep veggies and proteins ahead so you're not cooking everything Thursday (chop veggies, marinate turkey, prep side dishes)
✅ Make freezer-friendly dishes NOW to reduce next week's stress (soups, casseroles, prepped proteins)

The goal? Walk into next week feeling PREPARED, not panicked. Your blood sugar will thank you. 🦃

The holiday season is coming, and if you're managing blood sugar, you might be feeling anxious. Here's the truth: you CAN enjoy the holidays without blood sugar chaos!

The functional medicine approach:
🍽️ Never arrive to a party hungry (eat protein first)
🥗 Fill half your plate with non-starchy veggies
🍗 Choose protein-rich options
🚶‍♀️ Take a 10-15 min walk after eating
⏰ Be strategic with treats (enjoy them, just not all day)

It's not about perfection - it's about stable energy and feeling GOOD during the celebrations. Save this for your holiday prep!

Today, we pause to express our deepest gratitude to all who have served our country with courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication.

At Illuminate, we're especially proud to honor the veterans in our own family:

💙 Dr. Franklin's father
💙 Dr. Ziemba's husband
💙 Health Coach Kristin's husband and brother

Their service, along with that of millions of veterans across our nation, has protected the freedoms we hold dear. We are forever grateful for their commitment, bravery, and the sacrifices made by military families everywhere.

To all veterans—past and present—thank you for your service. We see you, we honor you, and we are grateful for you today and every day.
🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day 🇺🇸

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. 💙

Did you know 38 million Americans have diabetes, and 97 million have pre-diabetes? It is estimated that 80% of people with pre-diabetes don't know they have it. If you're experiencing constant fatigue, intense sugar cravings, or unexplained weight changes, your body might be sending signals. Unlike conventional approaches that wait for full diabetes diagnosis, functional medicine addresses prediabetes HEAD-ON. We test deeper, identify root causes, and create personalized protocols to reverse insulin resistance.

Your wake-up call can be your turning point!
