Let’s talk about diabetes.

Unfortunately, diabetes is on the rise, and more and more women are wondering how to properly manage their blood sugar levels. This focus becomes even more important for women over 40. Menopausal hormone shifts can have a dramatic impact on insulin sensitivity.

To help us discover more about this connection between hormones and insulin, is Melissa Slemp. Melissa is a health coach who has lived with type 1 diabetes for 42 years - so she knows more than a thing or two about blood sugars, especially dealing with diabetes while going through perimenopause.

On this episode Melissa shares her personal experience with managing blood sugars and the habit shifts we can focus on to improve our insulin sensitivity and maintain healthy blood sugar levels for many years to come.

Get ready for some practical guidance on how to manage your blood sugar levels, the impact of hormones on insulin sensitivity, and how to begin to both educate yourself and advocate for yourself on your health journey.

Why is it the older we get, the harder it is to lose weight? And all the things we did in our 20s, 30s and even 40s don’t seem to work for us anymore?

Listener Gina has the same questions: “I’m 63, and over the last maybe six or seven years I have gained about ten to twelve pounds. I've been eating protein and produce, but I'm still struggling with losing the fat. I'm fairly active - I swim three times a week, lift weights three mornings a week, and try to walk. It just doesn't seem to be coming off as quickly as it did when I was younger. So I don't know if there's anything additional I should be doing.”

If you’ve ever gotten frustrated with a scale that just won’t budge, then this one’s for you. In this episode I’ll explain why weight loss in your 50s is so much harder and I’ll walk you through a 4-pronged approach to start seeing real results.

See if this sounds familiar? It’s the beginning of summer, and you’re ready for a fresh new start! It’s time to make some changes so you can feel really good in a swimsuit!

So you make a plan: 30 minute workout 5 days a week; more salads and less snacks; 8 glasses of water each day; a 20 minute walk after dinner; evening wind down and earlier bedtime. No problem!

And things start strong - Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are great! But Thursday starts to go off the rails - missed the workout, ran through the drive through at lunch - and by the weekend, you’ve scrapped your plan entirely. You can always start again on Monday, right?

The roller coaster of inconsistency can be exhausting and discouraging! But how do you get off?

I’m so glad you asked. In this episode I’m going to give you my favorite and MOST EFFECTIVE solution for eliminating the erratic, all-or-nothing behaviors and finally establishing TRUE consistency. I have taught this method to thousands of women in my training programs. In fact, it’s probably the most important thing that I could ever teach you for your health!

Are you ready to learn? This is about to change your life!
