Diabetes and Insulin Resistance
-
Diabetes is a disease that results in elevated blood sugar levels due to the body’s inability to produce and/or use insulin effectively. Though this is known as a “manageable” disease, Macy has seen firsthand the effort and daily persistence it takes to live with diabetes. She would be honored to help you take control of your diabetes management by providing you with thorough, research-based nutrition education, a better understanding of the disease process, and by empowering you to give yourself grace with the high demands and pressures of diabetes.
Macy will help you design balanced meals, learn to count carbohydrates and interpret food labels, educate you on how different foods will affect your blood sugar, help you prioritize portion control, and guide you in discovering the impact of physical activity. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or looking to refine your current routine, Macy will help you navigate diabetes with confidence and clarity. Her goal is to empower you and equip you with the tools necessary to make sustainable lifestyle changes through informed food choices and realistic habits that promote longterm health.
