  • Embarking on a transformative health journey with me. I draw from my skirmishes with stress-eating to illuminate the path toward conquering type 2 diabetes. I share how embracing mindful eating and fasting becomes a game-changer, offering insights into how these practices can reverse insulin resistance. By adopting the H.E.A.T. acronym—habits, emotions, access, and taste—we peel back the layers of our eating behaviors and discover the power of connecting deeply with our body's hunger cues.

    Mindfulness, often sidelined in our fast-paced world, takes center stage in our fight against diabetes. I invite you to explore the art of mindful eating with me, from pausing to appreciate the symphony of flavors in our meals to recognizing the subtle difference between satisfaction and fullness. It's not just about what we eat but how we eat, as we celebrate community triumphs like Jennifer's 88-pound weight loss and the collective strides we've made in mastering fasting. Our gathering is not just a place for stories but a sanctuary for encouragement, education, and empowerment.

    As the host of this health odyssey, I'm thrilled to share the progress of our community members who, like Jennifer, have transformed their relationship with food and fasting. Get ready to mark your calendars for a mid-March Zoom session where we'll continue to bolster one another on this journey. Together, we are reshaping our lives, conquering health challenges, and opening doors to a future brimming with potential. Join me, and let's stride confidently into this promising new year with the wisdom and camaraderie that make our community thrive.

Imagine the sheer power of your body's stress response, akin to the adrenaline surge I experienced during a high-stakes white-water rafting escapade, a story I'll share in vivid detail.

We'll dissect the stages of stress response, from alarm to exhaustion, unraveling the science behind why your heart races and you become hyper-alert and the implications these reactions have on chronic conditions like diabetes.

    Moving beyond the thrills, I'll guide you through crafting an arsenal of stress management tools to bolster your well-being and keep your blood sugar in check. We'll discuss the art of problem-solving and how taking a structured approach to life's hurdles can significantly lower stress-induced health risks. By embracing practices like meditation and exercise, you'll learn to channel stress constructively. Join me, Dr. Dwain Woode, as we empower you with the knowledge to navigate the choppy waters of stress and diabetes, ensuring a smoother sail toward optimal health.
