“Look who I ran into at the grocery store! 👋 So incredibly proud of Val, who I first met a year ago on a virtual appointment. Her goal? To reverse Type 2 Diabetes.
Fast forward to today, and wow! Val is not only 75+ lbs lighter, but more importantly, she is radiating health and happiness! ✨ Seeing her in person truly brought home the incredible transformation she’s achieved through her dedication and hard work.
It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do. Those consistent, “little” changes really do lead to HUGE results over time. Val, you are absolutely amazing, and I am so proud of your commitment and investment in YOU! ❤️XOXO Jen

🥗 Maximize Your GLP-1 Journey: Partner with a Registered Dietitian!

If you're using GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Zepbound, etc.), you know they're powerful tools. But to truly get the best results and feel your best, nutrition is key!
We're excited to announce a new video discussing why seeing a Registered Dietitian (RD) is the ultimate non-negotiable step in your GLP-1 journey.

Here's what an RD can help you achieve:

* 💪 Boost Muscle, Drop Fat: GLP-1s can sometimes lead to muscle loss. An RD specializes in creating an eating plan with the right amount of protein and nutrients to help you preserve and build muscle mass while maximizing adipose tissue (fat) loss.�
* 🤢 Conquer GI Side Effects: Nausea, constipation, and other gastrointestinal issues are common. An RD can expertly guide you on food choices, timing, and hydration to minimize discomfort and help you stay on track.�
* 🌟 Supercharge Drug Effectiveness: Optimal nutrition works synergistically with your medication. An RD can ensure your diet supports better blood sugar control and weight management, helping the drug work its very best for you.�
* 🧭 Navigate Every Stage: An RD provides essential, personalized support before you start, while you're taking the drug, and after you reach your goals, ensuring long-term success and healthy habits.�
Don't leave your nutrition to chance! Watch our video to understand how a personalized plan from an RD can make all the difference.

😴 Do You Feel Exhausted After Eating? It Could Be More Than Just a "Food Coma"

We often brush off feeling groggy, tired, or needing a nap after a meal as normal, but combined with other signs, your body may be sending a crucial message about your metabolism.

Are You Experiencing These Symptoms?

🍽️ Sleepy After Meals: Struggling with focus or needing to lie down post-meal.

🍎 Always Hungry: Feeling hungry again soon after eating a full meal.

💨 Constant Bloating: Persistent, uncomfortable feeling of fullness.

☁️ General Fatigue: Feeling run down or low on energy all day, even with enough sleep.

⚖️ Difficulty Losing Weight or gaining muscle.

💡 The Insight You Need to Know

These symptoms are strongly linked to Insulin Resistance—a common condition where your body's cells don't respond well to the insulin it produces.

The most crucial thing to understand is: Insulin Resistance often doesn't show up on routine, standard lab work! You might be told your blood sugar is "normal" or "just slightly high," even while these very real, life-impacting symptoms persist. Identifying it requires specific testing and a deep understanding of metabolic health.

Ready to Find the Root Cause?

If you're tired of feeling tired and want to understand the why behind these frustrating symptoms, it's time to take the next step.

🔗 Learn more and join us for our deep-dive, FREE webinar with Dr. Christopher Bruno, Endocrinologist, and Jennifer Barr, Certified Diabetes Educator & Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Includes a crucial Q & A session!

Comment "Help" below and we will send you the link to register for FREE!

Don't let undiagnosed insulin resistance hold you back from feeling your best!

Having Trouble Hitting Number 3 "Find movement every day"? We did too until we switched our routine at Daylight Savings Time! Keep reading⬇⬇⬇

⏰ Gain an Hour, GAIN Ground on Your Goals! 🏋️‍♀️

Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend, and you know what that means: an extra hour!

Don't spend it scrolling. Invest it in YOU.

✨ The "Fall Back" Fitness Hack: Your Health Just Gained an Hour!

This Sunday, the clocks fall back, giving you 60 extra minutes. Instead of just sleeping in, consider this: an unblockable opportunity to establish a powerful morning movement routine.

Why is a Morning Workout Routine so effective right now?

The Time is Yours: You have a new, built-in time slot where nothing else is scheduled. This is the ultimate "no excuses" moment.

Unlock All-Day Energy: Starting your day with movement helps sensitize your muscles to insulin. This means your body becomes more efficient at using glucose for energy throughout the day—leading to more sustained energy and focus.

Circadian Rhythm Reset: Exposure to morning light and exercise is one of the best ways to regulate your body's internal clock, which can lead to better sleep quality at night.

How to Start: Commit to just 15-30 minutes of a brisk walk, yoga, or bodyweight exercises using your "bonus hour." Consistency is everything!

Don't wait until January. Your new routine starts this Sunday!

Make the extra hour count. Set your alarm and GO!
