• “BMI … is associated with but is not a direct measure of body fat. … BMI’s association with health risk is inconsistent and varies with age, s*x, and ethnicity. It does not assess risk related to body-fat distribution.” NCBI
• “Clinicians should pull back on the widespread use of BMI as a metric for assessing people’s health because it can lead to patient distrust and delayed care.”  Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
• “BMI is an imperfect measure because it does not directly assess body fat.” American Medical Association
• “Awareness of the advantages and limitations of using BMI … can maximize its appropriate use in the context of adult obesity.” PMC

Research shows Type 2 diabetes develops from a mix of factors — genetics, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, excess weight, low physical activity, and a diet high in ultra-processed foods. Sugar is only one small piece of the puzzle.

Here’s what matters most:
✨ How your body handles insulin
✨ Your overall diet pattern (whole foods vs. ultra-processed)
✨ Daily movement — even 10–15 minutes after meals helps
✨ Maintaining a healthy weight
✨ Family history and genetics

The empowering part? You have control over many of these factors.
Balanced meals, more fiber + protein, regular activity, stress management, and sleep all support better blood sugar control and reduce risk.

Understanding the real causes helps us prevent and manage diabetes more effectively.

Progress isn’t always loud. Some days it’s choosing water over soda. Other days it’s showing up for a 10-minute walk when you’d rather skip it. And sometimes? It’s simply getting back up after a weekend that didn’t go as planned.

Your “why” is stronger than any setback:
💛 Your health
💛 Your energy
💛 Your confidence
💛 Your long-term goals
💛 Your family
💛 YOU

You don’t need perfection — you need persistence.
Small steps, repeated consistently, create big transformation.

Keep going. You’re building something bigger than today’s challenges. 💪✨

If you need support, guidance, or a personalized plan to stay on track, I’m here to help.

* I won’t support all-or-nothing thinking.
Perfection is the enemy of progress — consistency is the real hero.
* I won’t clap for you skipping meals.
You’re not “being good”; you’re stressing your hormones and causing yourself to overheat later in the day.
* I won’t tell you to cut out carbs.
Carbs didn’t betray you — the internet did.
* I won’t pretend supplements are magic.
If it came in a gummy, everyone would be shredded.
* I won’t rush the process to give you “fast results.”
Slow and steady wins every time.
* I won’t let your scale bully you.
Your weight will fluctuate. Hydration, hormones, salt… all of it matters.
