In this podcast, I talk about how meal planning can help reverse type 2 diabetes by addressing its root cause: insulin resistance. I explain that insulin resistance develops from repeated insulin spikes, which are mostly driven by the modern, carb-heavy diet. I walk you through how to swap out high-carb meals for low-carb, real food options—without giving up the flavors you love. I also share tips for eating at home and dining out, including how to plan ahead so you’re not stuck guessing. If you find it hard to implement these changes, I invite you to schedule a Reverse Your Diabetes Assessment call.
In this episode, we dive into how to create a personalized health plan that actually works for you. Instead of chasing numbers or following someone else’s rules, you’ll learn to define what health means in your own life—through food, exercise, sleep, and stress management. I’ll walk you through simple steps to build a sustainable plan based on your values, not willpower. We’ll also explore common pitfalls and how to avoid them. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by doing “all the right things” without lasting results, this episode will show you a better, more empowering way forward.
In today’s episode, we dive into the four essential lifestyle strategies that drive better blood sugar control—real food, regular movement, stress management, and quality sleep. But knowing what to do isn’t the same as doing it. That’s where mindset comes in. I’ll walk you through why these changes are so challenging, especially when food has been your go-to for comfort, connection, or coping. You’ll learn how to reimagine what health truly looks like for you—and how to start showing up as that future version of yourself today. If you’re ready to do the real work of lasting transformation, this episode is your starting point.
Indecision is exhausting—and it’s one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck. In this episode, I share how making decisions you like and stick with is the real key to reaching your health goals, including reversing type 2 diabetes. I walk you through how I broke free from the cycle of daily back-and-forth, and how you can too. We’ll discuss why decisions are actions (not one-time events), how to align choices with your values and authenticity, and how to show up for yourself even when it's hard. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels, this episode is for you.
If you’ve tried everything to get healthy with type 2 diabetes and nothing sticks. What if you are not focusing on the right “right” problem? Maybe it’s time to look at your beliefs (not your food). This episode reveals how your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) creates your experience by filtering in what you already believe. Whether it’s “this is too hard” or “I always fail,” your RAS is finding evidence to prove it true. But here’s the good news—you can shift your focus, change your beliefs, and get very different results. Learn how to direct your RAS so your brain starts working for your health, not against it.
Ever said, “I know what to do, but I struggle to do it”? You’re not alone. In this episode, I dive into why so many of us—especially those with type 2 diabetes—feel stuck between knowing the solution and actually taking action. I share my own struggle with budgeting (hello, makeup and restaurant spending!) and how it mirrors the resistance to making dietary changes. The problem isn't knowledge—it's discomfort, resistance, and not getting granular with your plan. You’ll learn how to identify the real issues behind your inaction and get practical steps to finally move forward with your health (or finances!).

Though this podcast is ostensibly for women, most of the information is relevent for men too. I discovered Delane after reversing my own diabetes, but use her podcast to continue my education, make distinctions, and continue my journey. Her information is spot on! I listen as I walk my daily 5.5 to 9 miles. I enjoy Delane's straight ahead, no b.s. communication style, as contrasted with the politically correct, measured approach other diabetes podcasters often use. Whether you wish to reverse diabetes type 2, or like me, maintain and improve your now normal blood sugar, this podcast is for you. Two thumbs up!
