(Tip: "exercise" can be as simple going for a walk, you don’t have to go to a gym.)

Learn why exercise during the holidays is so important and what will likely happen if you don’t make time for it. You'll also learn the ONE exercise that will make the biggest difference on those big-meal days.

Ladies, one of the biggest changes you have to make in your life when you find out you have Prediabetes and Insulin Resistance is to learn to cook your food yourself! 

No more take out and fast food meals! Home-cooked high-fiber meals have to be on your menu...and the more the better.

But don't think that means you have to spend hours and hours in the kitchen. Because, you don't. There's an easy way to avoid spending a lot of time cooking...it's called an Instant Pot. Learn why I love my Instant Pot and all the cool high-fiber yummy foods I cook in mine!
