142: When You Have Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes - Kim Rose

Food shouldn’t taste like cardboard and sadness - BAM! That’s what Kim Rose, Dietitian and diabetes specialist, believes and I couldn’t agree more. 

If you live with type 2 diabetes, have pre-diabetes, or know someone who has one of these conditions, this episode just might change your life. Kim takes an inclusive approach that revolves around the principal of addition--not restriction--to make nutrition easy, attainable, and above all, delicious. 

You can have Diabetes and eat the cake, too. Tune in to hear more.

  • How tuning into your body and what it really needs can help manage your blood sugar levels

  • Why restriction leads to bingeing
