🧠 Diabetes isn’t just Type 1 or 2—let’s talk about Types 3, 4, and 5.

These lesser-known forms of diabetes are emerging in research and deserve attention. Understanding them can improve long-term health outcomes and early detection:

🔹 Type 3 Diabetes – Related to insulin resistance in the brain and linked to cognitive decline and dementia.
🔹 Type 4 Diabetes – Seen in older adults with insulin resistance, but without obesity or autoimmune disease.
🔹 Type 5 Diabetes – Often linked to early-life malnutrition, this type develops in people who experienced poor nutrition in childhood, leading to long-term pancreatic dysfunction.

👉 These forms don’t always follow the textbook—but at Navigating Wellness, we look at the whole picture. Your health story matters.

“What Can a Dietitian Do for Me?”

Plenty.

A dietitian isn’t just here to hand you a food list. They’re here to help you:
🍽 Navigate real-life meals that actually fit your lifestyle
🥗 Make sustainable changes without giving up everything you love
🤯 Cut through the noise of conflicting advice
💬 Understand how your medical conditions, medications, or goals play a role
🧠 Build a healthier relationship with food — no guilt, no shame, no crash diets

It’s not about perfect. It’s about possible.

🕐 You Are When You Eat: Timing, Your Microbiome & Metabolic Health (+ Testing Options!)

A compelling new Medscape article highlights how our gut microbiome follows its own daily clock—and syncing eating to those rhythms can markedly boost metabolic health without cutting calories. Timing meals during your active phase may help stabilize blood sugar and support gut balance through optimized microbial activity  .

⸻

🔬 Want to go deeper? Consider microbiome testing:

Viome’s Gut Intelligence™ Test
• An at‑home, RNA-based stool analysis offering 20+ gut‑health scores and tailored food, supplement, and prebiotic recommendations . Users report improved digestion, reduced bloating, and better energy .
• Performed in a CLIA-certified lab and leveraging AI‑driven metatranscriptomics, Viome now analyzes stool, saliva, and blood to deliver metabolic, cardiovascular, immune, and mitochondrial insights .
• While many users praise its personalized approach, some critique the cost, variable results, and unclear clinical utility—experts caution the science is still evolving .

Other Testing Options:
• Tools like Zoe Nutrition offer glucose response–based personalization without supplements .
• Traditional gut testing—such as 16S sequencing or GI panel labs—can be helpful if you have specific symptoms like IBS or frequent GI upset.

⸻

💡 How Navigating Wellness can help:
• Personalized timing plans: We align meal times with your lifestyle and circadian rhythm.
• Test interpretation support: We help you understand results from Viome or similar tests and integrate them into an actionable plan.
• Track progress meaningfully: Retest every 4–6 months to assess changes in gut diversity, metabolic function, and overall wellness   .
• Holistic care: Including dietary rhythm, microbiome wellness, metabolic health, mental balance, and long-term prevention.

⸻

✅ Ready to start?

📩 Message us to explore microbiome testing, meal timing strategies, or to be part of our ongoing gut‑health tracking pilot. Let’s design a personalized roadmap rooted in science—so you’re when and what you eat fuel your best self.

⸻

Using new tech to observe real-time changes in microbial gut activity, researchers find eating in preferred circadian windows could benefit metabolic health.

Did you know GLP-1 medications do more than support weight loss and blood sugar control?

Recent research highlights that GLP-1 receptor agonists (like Zepbound and Ozempic) may also offer neuroprotective benefits—including a reduced risk of stroke and slower neurodegeneration in conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. 🧠✨

At Navigating Wellness, we’ve long believed in treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis. This growing body of evidence supports what many of our patients have already experienced—better focus, more energy, and improved overall well-being.

Want to learn more about whether GLP-1 therapy is right for you? We’re here to help—virtually or in person across 4 states and 26-state coverage.

Let’s make health healthy again. 💚

GLP-1 RAs used by adults with type 2 diabetes and obesity is linked to lower risk for dementia, stroke, and mortality vs other antidiabetic drugs, a new study shows.
