71: Intuitive Eating for Diabetes

Counting carbs, tracking calories and obsessing over food choices can feel exhausting, especially with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes where you may feel so many 'rules' imposed upon you. What if there was a better way? 

In this episode, we dive into intuitive eating—a science-backed approach that can help regulate blood sugar, support weight loss, improve metabolic health, and create a more sustainable way of eating for the long term.

You’ll learn why rigid dieting often fails, how intuitive eating removes pressure and can help you break free from food stress, and the simple steps you can take to start listening to your body’s natural cues. 

Plus, we share research-backed insights and practical strategies to help you make food choices that feel good—physically, mentally and emotionally.
