What makes you feel good lately?

This easy blood sugar friendly breakfast lives in reality.

Not the ā€œyou have 45 minutes and a pristine kitchenā€ reality — the actual one where breakfast needs to be filling, flexible, and not send your blood sugar into chaos by 10 a.m.

This sheet-pan hash works because it respects how blood sugar behaves in real bodies. Sweet potatoes and chickpeas bring fiber-rich carbohydrates. Olive oil and tahini add fat for staying power. And if you need more balance, you can top it with eggs, tofu, or tempeh to boost protein and keep things steady longer.

Sweet potatoes aren’t the problem. Chickpeas aren’t the problem.
Skipping structure usually is.

This is the kind of meal I recommend as a nutritionist and health coach because it’s warm, savory, satisfying, and adaptable — which is exactly what makes it sustainable.

Save this for mornings when you want breakfast to work with you, not against you. And take a look at the free weekly meal plan ideas I have in . I plan out 7 days of ideas with enough flexibility to add in foods you love. Plus, our community support is unmatched. It’s a little diabetes personal assistant in your pocket, when and where you need it.

Little affirmations recently that have helped me cope with *gestures* everything.

I can believe that scarcity is made the hell up.

I can make sure my cup is full before I hand out my heart.

I can believe my eyes and ears.

I can carve out pockets of peace.

I can use the block button.

I can question regimes that are hell-bent on dehumanizing babies and disabled people, and nurses, and moms and families who ultimately want better for themselves.

I can question why can they spend billions to do it.

I can be sure that it will keep going until we collectively say enough — because no one is coming. We were the ones who swooped in when other countries turned out like this. There’s no us coming to help.

I can criticize billionaires sitting front row at fashion week, showing off their deadlifts and flaunting their access and privilege while American cities are terrorized and nurses and parents and friends are shot in the street.

I can be alarmed and frightened that they’re arresting journalists — the people who are meant to speak truth to power, because they’re trying to dismantle democracy brick by brick.

I can dig deep and show up for my community in small get togethers and moments of connection.

I can fight for my neighbors, and I don’t have to hate people different from me. Hating them isn’t gonna change my life for the better. And bitterness won’t be rewarded.

I can have voted for this, and say ā€œOkay. Enough. WTF?ā€ We are allowed to change our minds with new information. (I did not vote for this, or him if that was not obvious).

I can admit that we don’t need ICE in our communities.

I can choose kindness and caring. I promise, I can. It’s easier than the strife of hating people I don’t know. It’s easier than being miserable.

I can want everyone to have what they need to live a happy and healthy life, and still want the same for myself.

You never know what happens when you just start to build out an idea.

There will be late nights, advisors who say it’ll ā€œnever workā€ it’ll ā€œnever get fundingā€ it’ll never ā€œappeal to people.ā€ ā€œPeople won’t see you as looking the part, so they’ll never sign up to work with you.ā€

Feedback like that held me back from launching for a a really long time. Until I ultimately just said I’d never know if I didn’t try, and that haunted me more than the failure.

There is always much to prove, that sometimes it goes beyond looking at the actual work, and what it meant for the people you were trying to serve. I wake up each day asking ā€œwhat’s something could do to make living with diabetes suck a little less?ā€ And then, I try to do that.

Last year, that meant 2,500 people with diabetes, or people who loved them had a place to go for nutrition support, learning about diabetes, and a tool that helps them understand food a little better. They could hop on a habit change challenge with us and take one minute a day to build a healthier habit for themselves. They could come to any of our weekly events and learn something new, or connect with someone like them. All for free, or a $5 donation that they choose to give to support running the platform.

Building has been the most challenging thing I’ve ever done, and has had me question myself and what I’m capable of over and over. I’m glad that sometimes I’m heard-headed enough to ignore some of the discouragement that often feels so heavily weighted.

Thank you to for this honor and recognition of my work. It means so much to me.

Here's what I picked up from the store this week! This will go way further than a week for us (especially the frozen fruit), but I always like to plan to have a bunch of options and flexibility.

We're also supposed to have intense freezing weather this weekend, but I didn't need to shop for that. We stay pretty stocked with water, MREs and non-perishables because of hurricane season, so we were actually ready to go!

What went into your cart this week?

Every Wednesday, the Glucose Guide Group Chat is LIVE in the Glucose Guide App. I hope you swing by for any one of our events in the next few weeks. It's a weekly, 30-minute mood booster with learnings and chats about diabetes in the mix. Here are the topics we're getting up to for the rest of January, and Early February.

I got verified back in 2021 before you could buy it. I bought the lowest plan once so that I could have customer service access for an issue my account had. Now, Meta pushes messages to me pushing a $400/mo plan for them to show my account to more people.

I noticed this when they started offering the ability to buy your verified badge, so I started creating my own space. Back in 2023, I built and launched .

It has been a huge investment for me, but one that I still think was the right move. We focus on uplifting each other there. We all have some connection to diabetes. Every other post is not an ad. The community is so lovely and supportive and kind. We meet up each week. It’s quiet, it’s affirming. We don’t judge. We have realistic recipes, nutrition information that doesn’t fear monger, topic-based support groups and what I think is a pretty badass carb estimation and meal planning features along with our monthly challenges.

It’s also helping me toward my path of becoming a CDCES. The sessions I teach + 1:1 diabetes education are helping me earn my hours to apply for the unique pathway to take the credentialing exam.

I hope that you’ll come join us. It’s in the App Store and the Google Play Store, or whatever browser you like to use best. I hope you meet me there sometime for support. There are 2,000 other people hanging with you too!

These screenshots aren’t sustainable. I look at this and I feel so discouraged, and like I won’t have the resources to reach people who need support. So, I’m doing my own thing, and hoping it finds its way to people who need it.
