This week on Diabetes UNplugged, we're hanging out with Ladie Kei, the brain behind The Kei's to Juicing, the affordable fresh juice challenge designed help you achieve proper internal balance on your health journey so you can reverse disease, eliminate waste & toxins and improve your mental health.

Ladie Kei figured out that her son's allergy induced skin flares were the result of his poor gut health and used that experience as a catalyst to become a juice therapist and create a community centered around mind, body & spirit wellness.

In this episode Ladie Kei shares:
How she healed her son’s chronic allergy-induced skin condition by focusing on gut health and the impact that reprogramming his mind had on his body's ability to heal itself.

Why the key to overcoming depression & anxiety starts with improving your digestion & how juicing can help speed up that process.

Why things like breast cancer, excess arm fat, and weight gain in your midsection are ways that your body is actually trying to protect you.

I took a poll in my stories and y’all said you are STRESSED TF OUT!!

Lemme introduce you to the ABC’s of stress management.

I told you guys a few days ago that stress isnt something you can completely get rid of.

In fact, some stress is actually “good for you” (and I say that with hesitation because some people with take that statement and run with it lol)

But a helpful way to help you gain control over the ✨CONSTANT✨stress that you’re under is to apply the ABC’s.

✨A is for Awareness:✨
This means you have to actually know what you’re stressed out about. Sometimes we become so stressed out that we stop paying attention to what’s actually going on. We just exist in our constant fight or flight mode (Which is not helping your blood sugar)

You have to identify what’s triggering you in order to practice changing the way you RESPOND to it (see my previous post about reacting vs. responding)

✨B is for BOUNDARIES✨

You 👏🏾 have 👏🏾 to 👏🏾 set 👏🏾 boundaries 👏🏾 PERIOD!

You have to start setting boundaries if you want to reduce stress and get your blood sugar under control.

Stop making yourself so available to everyone (including family) at the expense of your own piece of mind (more on this soon).

✨C is for Consistent Accountability✨

(This is where I gotta give you some tough love)

Managing stress is YOUR responsibility 🤷🏾‍♀️ You have to be proactive if you want to get to a place where you are not constantly on edge.

Consistent accountability means to ✨PRIORITIZE✨paying attention to yourself AND your needs on a regular basis.

What you need is important too. (Always remember that). And sometimes what you need is to cut people off, say no, stop volunteering, and FILL YOUR OWN CUP unapologetically 🙌🏾

Ps. Come join me in Dominating Diabetes Academy!

Stress management is the very first thing we dive into (& for good reason). Without proper stress management, you won’t be able to
🚩eat right
🚩feel motivated to move your body
🚩regulate your sleep
🚩or reverse your diabetes.
