I took a poll in my stories and yâall said you are STRESSED TF OUT!!
Lemme introduce you to the ABCâs 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 âgood for youâ (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 â¨CONSTANTâ¨stress that youâre under is to apply the ABCâs.
â¨A is for Awareness:â¨
This means you have to actually know what youâre stressed out about. Sometimes we become so stressed out that we stop paying attention to whatâs actually going on. We just exist in our constant fight or flight mode (Which is not helping your blood sugar)
You have to identify whatâs triggering you in order to practice changing the way you RESPOND to it (see my previous post about reacting vs. responding)
â¨B is for BOUNDARIESâ¨
You đđž have đđž to đđž set đđž boundaries đđž 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).
â¨C is for Consistent Accountabilityâ¨
(This is where I gotta give you some tough love)
Managing stress is YOUR responsibility đ¤ˇđžââď¸ You have to be proactive if you want to get to a place where you are not constantly on edge.
Consistent accountability means to â¨PRIORITIZEâ¨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 đđž
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 wonât be able to
đŠeat right
đŠfeel motivated to move your body
đŠregulate your sleep
đŠor reverse your diabetes.

Let me be VERY clearâŚ.
â¨You CANNOT lower your a1c without managing stress FIRSTâ¨
It is 100% impossible!!
Hereâs why:
đ¸When the body is under chronic stress, this activates the fight or flight response.
đ¸The fight or flight response activates the release of cortisol, the stress hormone.
đ¸Cortisol activates the release of all the glucose your body has stored and dumps it into your bloodstream
đ¸Chronically elevated blood sugar levels activates the release of excess insulin
đ¸Insulin is a fat storage hormone. Excess insulin in the blood= extra storage of fat= weight gain
đ¸Excess weight= inflammation
đ¸Inflammation= hypertension, heart disease, stroke, heart attack, depression, brain fog, memory loss & more.
â¨This is what you call the stress cascade!â¨
If you do not properly manage your stress, no matter what you try to do, you will never be able to control your blood glucose levels let alone lower your a1c.
â¨Remember, stress is controlled by the brain (HPA Axis). If the brain is in dysfunction, the body will be in dysfunction. Why? Because the brain is the control center of the body.
Follow me for helpful tips on what you can do to properly manage your stress levels (& ultimately lower your a1c).
⨠How to reduce your a1câ¨
Almost immediately after receiving your diabetes diagnosis -after the initial shock of it all, you probably learned that you need to keep your numbers at or under certain points.
Your numbers are important. In fact, they are very important.
But just as important is realizing that lowering your a1c is about more than just your numbers. Itâs about addressing the other lifestyle factors that make up your health overall such as getting quality sleep, managing stress, eating balanced meals, moving your body daily and keeping yourself hydrated.
When you give more attention to these things, the numbers will take care of themselves. Trust me.
Leave a â¤ď¸ in the comments if this message was for you
Some of the most common culprits that you will hear causes diabetes is excess weight gain, eating too much sugar and a high carb diet. Now don't get me wrong, these things most certainly can contribute but ultimately those things alone are not to blame.
Diabetes is a condition that is deeply rooted in stress, nutrition deficiencies such as lack of fiber and a sedentary lifestyle. Diabetes is a LIFESTYLE related illness.
#1 Stress:
When the body is under chronic stress, this activates the fight or flight response. This means the sympathetic nervous system becomes overactive. The fight or flight response activates the release of cortisol, the stress hormone. Elevated cortisol over the long term consistently produces glucose, leading to increased blood sugar levels. This causes a cascade of events to take place including excess insulin release, hormone imbalances, excess weight gain, inflammation, and ultimately diabetes.
#2 Lack of Fiber
Fiber is VERY important to the overall function of the body. Not only does it help to stop glucose from hitting the bloodstream too quickly -but it also cleans your colon. When dealing with insulin resistance, you tend to carry excess weight in the midsection due to the increase of fat storage from the hormone insulin. Carrying excess weight in the mid section is also a sign of waste backup aka P**P! Fiber helps you to eliminate this waste. Fiber is found in all fruits and vegetables so prioritize these in every meal.
#3 A sedentary lifestyle
A sedentary lifestyle is a lifestyle with a lot of sitting and lying down, with very little to no exercise. When we eat poorly on top of an inactive lifestyle, this drives dis-ease. Movement is NOT optional. It needs to be as non negotiable as brushing your teeth everyday. Movement helps to strengthen your heart, burn fat, increase insulin sensitivity, improve mental health, boost brain function and a whole lot more. All movement counts! So get moving!

People of color take the top 3 places for type 2 diabetes. Because of this we are also leading the race in heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and kidney disease.
If these statistics donât wake you up, Iâm not sure what will. Donât wait for your condition to get worse before you start taking action.
Do something today that will help you change the course of this chronic illness.
Trade in your fast food for home cooked meals. Drink more water and less soda. Move your body daily.
Focus on making small changes over time. You got this!
Like this post if you're ready to turn your health around!
If you have pre or type 2 diabetes, chances are you've heard of a1c. BUT, do you know what that is exactly? Let me explain.
A1C is a measure of your blood sugar (blood glucose) levels over the past 3 months. As sugar (glucose) circulates in the bloodstream, some of it naturally attaches to your cells. The A1C test measures the percent of your cells that are attached, or bound, to glucose.
A1C test results are reported as a percentage. The higher the percentage, the higher your blood sugar levels have been over the past three months.
A1C is used to determine whether or not you have pre or type 2 diabetes. This is important information to know because falling in the pre or type two diabetic range on the a1c test, signifies that there may be other issues happening internally such as insulin resistance, inflammation, heart disease, issues with blood pressure, and so on.
If your A1C level is between 5.7 and 6.5%, your levels are in the prediabetes range.
If you have an A1C level of 6.5% or higher, your levels are in the diabetes range.
Knowing this can help you begin to make the necessary lifestyle changes in order to bring these numbers down and reduce your risk of other chronic illnesses.

Biz Markie, was a rapper, singer-songwriter, DJ, and record producer who died due to complications from diabetes.
1 in 2 Americans has Pre or type 2 diabetes and people of color are leading the race in diabetes related complications such as heart disease, stroke and obesity.
As a woman of color and certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I continue to work very hard to create a platform dedicated to providing information, resources and even 1:1 support in order to help POC prevent and reverse this and other chronic illnesses.
Unfortunately, we are not taught that type 2 diabetes is a 100% preventable and reversible chronic illness.
We are misinformed about how this condition is deeply rooted in stress and lifestyle factors.
We are uneducated in how to eat to live and how to use food as medicine
We are passed down toxicity in our food, behaviors, and lifestyles and wonder why we are the first generation whose children will die younger than us.
We are morbidly obese, chronically ill, chronically stressed and lack the know how on what it takes to create healthier habits in order to extend our life expectancy.
We are so out of touch with our own bodies that we fail to recognize when out body is trying to communicate with us and because of this, chronic illness amongst POC are at an all time high.
We have to take our health more seriously. We are barely making it to 50 years young before we are taken out of here. We have to change our lifestyles.
We canât keep eating and doing the same things that are keeping us sick. It hasnât worked thus far so now it's time to do something new.
Something sustainable. Something that you will be proud to pass down to the generations after you!
Itâs time to be dedicated and consistent. Itâs time to hold ourselves accountable. Itâs time to change.
If you are ready to change the course of your health for the better, leave âchangeâ in the comments below!
⨠From meds to no meds ⨠I love a good success story â¨
These blood pressure numbers are from a client of mine who is 1 month into his Nutritional Therapy Program. These numbers are with no blood pressure medication and after just 3 WEEKS of getting started đđž
Through his dedication to himself and my program, heâs been able to experience more energy, continuous weight loss and so many other amazing improvements to his health! Congratulations ! I canât wait to see what the remainder of your program bringsâ¨â¨

All it takes is a made up mind that you no longer want to remain the same. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE!! But itâs only impossible if you believe it is!
As a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I am dedicated to helping POC overcome chronic illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure & heart disease.
I know how scary and overwhelming it can be to change, especially when youâve been told that there is nothing you can do to âfixâ your situation besides be on medication for the rest of your life. Tune out those words and know that there IS a solution! A natural one at that!

We don't just wake up one day & all of a sudden have a health condition. Conditions like diabetes, heart disease & high blood pressure all form due to unhealthy food choices & lifestyle habits over a prolonged period of time. Most times it take something drastic happening for us to realize we have these health issues.
DO NOT WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO GO WRONG BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO START TAKING CARE OF YOUR HEALTH.
Start taking care of your health TODAY. Even if it's something small like drinking 2 bottles of water instead of 1.

Diabetes is the main cause of kidney disease.
The main job of the kidneys is to filter wastes and extra water out of your blood, which is how te body creates urine and gets rid of toxins.
Your kidneys also help control blood pressure and make hormones.
When your kidneys are damaged, they canât filter blood like they should, which can cause wastes to build up in your body.
High blood sugar, can damage the blood vessels in your kidneys. When the blood vessels are damaged, they donât work as well. This is why many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure.
You are also more likely to develop kidney disease if you have diabetes and:
*smoke
*Eating lots of fast or processed foods
*You're not physically active
*overweight
*or have heart disease
The best way to slow or prevent diabetes-related kidney disease is to adopt healthy lifestyle habits, eat a plant rich diet, and move your body i a way that is going to be sustainable for you in the long run.

As a certifed function nutritional therapy practitioner, I help POC achieve optimal health using a food first approach and sustainable lifestyle changes.
Way before Covid and working from home, most Americans of melanated completion have been severely deficient in vitamin D. We no longer go outside, we go from inside of our house to inside of a vehicle to inside of a building. Weâve lost our connection with the sun.
This is causing severe deficiencies in this much-needed nutrient. Not only is vitamin D deficiency leading to issues in the male reproductive system, But itâs also leading to issues with weight gain, hormonal issues, PCOS, insulin resistance, and so much more.
Vitamin D plays a vital role in the bodyâs ability to be able to function optimally.

Have you been brain washed into obsessing about protein? The common belief is âif I focus on protein, Iâll achieve better glucose levelsâ and while this isnât necessarily wrong, what end up happening is we hyper focus on protein -specifically from animal sources, not realizing that what also comes with that protein is an increased amount of saturated fat. If you want to reverse diabetes, you have to address insulin resistance, and the main culprit of insulin resistance is an increased intake of fats in the diet that end up clogging the cells overtime. Tune into this weeks episode of Diabetes Unplugged where Dr. Amanda Adkins and I unpack the myths surrounding a plant based diet and how to use plant-based nutrition to reverse chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypertension & heart disease.

I had someone express their frustration with the fact that their a1c has been increasing along with their triglyceride & cholesterol levels and they didnât understand this because theyâve been doing low carb. This is why I stress the importance of understanding insulin resistance & NOT avoiding carbs because in doing so, you tend to increase your fat intake which makes your body even more insulin resistant. YOU CAN ONLY REVERSE DIABETES BY REVERSING INSULIN RESISTANCE & in order to do that, you need to increase your bodyâs carbohydrate tolerance. To learn more about this, make sure you check out my free masterclass where I teach you how to reverse insulin resistance and eliminate the need for diabetes medications.

Healing isn't just about what we do physically, it starts within our minds. Our beliefs, the stories we tell ourselves, they shape our reality. đ Reflect on what you've been telling yourself â are those beliefs still serving you? Are they moving you towards healing or holding you back? It's time to rewrite those narratives, to embrace new possibilities, to believe in the power of your body to heal itself. đą Join us in this week's episode of Diabetes Unplugged with Ladie Kei, as we dive into the transformative power of mindset in healing chronic illness paired with the power of Whole Foods and Juicing.

We need to start having real conversations about our food system and the quality of the food that we consume. A hamburger back in the 80s is not the same hamburger that we are consuming today. Our food system is extremely flawed and because big food prioritizes profit over nutrient density, a lot of times itâs not that we are simply consuming foods that are not the best for us because of a lack of will power but itâs more so that we are consuming foods that have been made with and contain addictive substances and we end up becoming emotionally tied to these foods because of how they affect our brain chemistry.However, simply telling someone to âjust buy organicâ or âbuy from their local farmersâ when they can barely afford to pay their rent, or theyâre surviving off of government assistance can be extremely dismissive. So we need to be sensitive to the fact that not everyone has access to high quality foods. So what is the solution? I believe the first step is focusing on prioritizing simple whole food ingredients as much as possible while cutting down your consumption of commercialized meat and dairy products, but also giving yourself grace if what you can do, looks different from what someone else is able to do at this stage in their journey.
