Description

Send Naihomy encouraging words!💕

In this episode, I share about a conversation I had with a loved one, when she told me, "I lost weight and then got diabetes". The best part is that I not only share the story in English, but in SPANISH as well!

We share how weight loss without muscle protection can worsen insulin resistance in midlife, why body composition matters more than the scale, and how protein, fiber, strength training, and small daily habits improve blood sugar, cholesterol, bone health, and pain. We speak in English and Spanish to reach family members who need clear, culturally grounded guidance.

• difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes explained simply
• why restrictive dieting erodes muscle and harms glucose control
• role of progressive strength training in perimenopause and beyond
• protein and fiber targets to support satiety, muscle, and cholesterol
• visceral fat vs subcutaneous fat and metabolic risk
• pain myths that block movement and how to start safely
• bone density, falls risk, and protecting autonomy with load
• consistency as a lifestyle, not a seasonal project
• inviting loved ones to learn in Spanish and act together
