Today's episode is one of the most personal I've ever recorded.

I'm taking you behind the scenes of my journey—from growing up surrounded by diet culture, to becoming a registered dietitian, to the patient who completely changed the way I thought about diabetes care.

For years, I believed what I had been taught: that weight loss should be the focus. But after witnessing the emotional toll that approach had on my patients, I knew there had to be a better way.

I'll also share how losing my dad in 2020 changed my perspective on health, why I left traditional healthcare to start my own private practice, and how that decision has allowed me to help thousands of women manage diabetes without shame, food guilt, or obsession over the scale.

If you've ever felt like you've been told to "just lose weight" without anyone actually teaching you how to manage your diabetes, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we talk about:

My lifelong experience with diet culture and body image
Why I became a registered dietitian
The patient who transformed my philosophy on diabetes care
What losing my dad taught me about health and self-care
Why I started Simplifying Diabetes
How I help women lower their blood sugars without restrictive diets or shame
