In this episode of Wholistic Living, we’re unpacking the truth about HbA1c, insulin resistance, and metabolic health, beyond just what you eat. You’ll learn exactly what HbA1c measures, how insulin works on a cellular level to move glucose into your cells for ATP energy, and what happens when that process breaks down. We’ll explore how stress, poor sleep, inflammation, toxins, and hormone imbalances all drive insulin resistance, even if your diet looks “clean.” I also share the most effective supplements for improving insulin sensitivity and supporting healthy HbA1c levels, including magnesium, inositol, berberine, fish oil, NAC, glycine, alpha-lipoic acid, and plant sterols and explain how each one helps your cells use glucose efficiently instead of storing it as fat. If you’ve ever struggled with blood sugar swings, fatigue after meals, high cholesterol, or stubborn weight gain, this episode connects the dots between glucose metabolism, hormones, and holistic healing.Join the 60 Day Gut Reset & Start When You're ready with $200 OFF! https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1716725/checkout/order_4mzzdrn3?coupon_code=SECRETOFFEREquip Foods Grass-fed beef protein - Code: MARLAWant to work with me? email me to health@holisticspring.com

Your favorite “clean” health foods might not be as independent as you think. In this episode of Wholistic Living, we uncover how brands like Simple Mills, Siete, Vital Proteins, RXBAR, Poppi, and Garden of Life—once founded on mission and integrity—were bought out by corporate giants like Nestlé, Kellogg’s, and Ferrero. We’ll explore why this wave of acquisitions is happening, what it means for ingredients, accessibility, and prices, and whether consolidation in the food industry is ultimately good or bad for consumers. From protein bars to gut health sodas to even your morning cereal, the same few corporations are quietly taking control of our food system. Tune in to learn how to spot when “clean branding” is really just marketing, why ingredient changes can happen after a buyout, and how to keep your health in your own hands by making conscious choices.Equip Foods Grass-fed beef protein - Code: MARLAWant to work with me? email me to health@holisticspring.comINSTA: @wholistichomeopath
