Just like the FDA who recently adjusted its determinants of foods that can be labeled as healthy, I think that for a lot of us, this term is very subjective. What one person thinks is healthy for them, might not be for the next.

Whenever I hear someone described as a healthy eater, my first question is what does that mean?

How do you define healthy eating?

There’s lots of nutrition info, research, opinions and more out there. My goal when working with clients is to take what I know and help them to find what will work best for them.

We might often think that if we just changed something about our body then we’d be able to love ourselves. The reality is that changing our body won’t lead to loving who we really are, because eventually our body will change again. Try this weekend to again accept your body as it is and take care of it!

I started seeing clients in-person in Olney, MD this past summer but thought I'd share this post that has photos and details of this cute office space conveniently located off of Georgia Ave in the Empowering You, LLC office.

Myth 7: Everyone who's in the pre-diabetic range will get diabetes unless they lose weight.

Fact: According to the CDC's own data, 2% of people with pre-diabetes will progress to diabetes annually, and 10% within five years.

The reality is that most people who have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes won't actually progress to diabetes. However, if you *have* been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to improve your self-care behaviors.

There are many things you can do to improve your health with pre- diabetes, but losing weight isn’t one of them. (because we all know this doesn't work for anyone anyway)
