Let’s talk about what might really be going on…

✨ I’m honored to be one of the featured speakers at the Ultimate Sugar Detox Summit, happening LIVE July 7th at 10 AM EST—and I’d love for you to join me (virtually, yoga pants encouraged).

🌱 Why you feel exhausted after sleeping
🌱 How sugar quietly disrupts your mood, metabolism, and sleep
🌱 What your cravings are actually trying to tell you
🌱 And how to reclaim your energy—without crash diets or shame

Hosted by the amazing Dr. Holly Donahue (a board-certified ND I deeply trust), this summit is packed with practical, compassionate tools from real doctors who help people heal.

💻 It’s 100% online
💸 Totally free

💡 Is GLP-1 the Miracle Weight Loss Solution? Let's Explore the Risks and Benefits.

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/glp-1-medications-deeper-look-risks-benefits-dr-tara-coppola-nd-ms-dzple

In recent years, GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have gained attention for their weight loss benefits, but are they truly the answer? 🤔

While some celebrate their effectiveness, it’s crucial to pause and ask: What are the long-term consequences of using these medications — especially when used off-label for weight loss?
In my latest video, I take a closer look at the risks associated with these drugs, including potential links to thyroid cancer and other long-term health concerns. And more importantly, we’ll discuss natural alternatives that could help you achieve sustainable weight loss and support your body’s self-healing potential.

✨ Watch the video to learn more about the potential risks and safe, holistic solutions for weight management.

As always, please consult your licensed healthcare provider before making any changes to your health regimen.

Can your diet influence cancer survival? Research says yes.
A study published in the International Journal of Cancer found that multiple myeloma patients with healthier diets before diagnosis had a 15–24% lower mortality rate than those with less healthy diets.

As a naturopathic physician, I integrate evidence-based nutrition into my oncology care plans because food plays a crucial role in healing. My approach blends conventional treatments with complementary therapies—including personalized nutrition strategies—to support your health and improve treatment outcomes.

When you understand the connection between diet and cancer progression, you gain the power to make informed decisions about your health. I'm here to provide the knowledge and tools you need to create a supportive, healing environment for your body.
✨ If you're navigating cancer and want a holistic, personalized approach, let’s talk. Your journey to whole-body healing starts here. ✨

Good evening! I apologize for getting quiet this past week….I am still getting to know my new home area and meeting some wonderful people. One of my favorite things in Arizona is being invited to talk on panels to help others thrive and grow.
Enough about that….let’s talk about:

Low Glycemic Foods

Focusing on improving health usually entails dieting, exercising, seeing a doctor, therapy, etc. Dieting as a practice in modern society tends to fail with flying colors. One of the reasons, is we see "diets" as temporary and then fall back into our old routines with food choices. Our nutrition is the backbone of our health.

On average, 5 years after doing a "diet" of some sort, 80% of the lost weight is regained and illnesses return.

Instead of dieting, choosing healthier food options rather than restriction might be helpful rather than sticking with a restrictive diet. While what is healthy for you is VERY individual, there are some "healthier" choices in swapping low glycemic foods for high glycemic foods.
The Glycemic Index (GI) tells you how much a food is going to affect your blood sugar (in theory). The affect of a food on blood sugar can also be augmented by what other foods are eaten together as well.

Typically, the lower the food is on the GI, the slower your blood sugar will rise after eating the food.

However, these options will typically not change the total sugar being consumed (depending on the food choice that is chosen).

High Glycemic Foods Replaced with Lower Glycemic Foods
White Rice----> Whole Grain Rice or Ancient Grains
Instant Oatmeal--> Steel Cut Oats or Chia Seed Pudding
Corn----> Riced Broccoli or Cauliflower
White Bread-> Sprouted Whole-Grain Bread or Sourdough Bread
