Our Latest Episode
Better Blood Sugar Starts with Real Food
Are ultra-processed foods secretly sabotaging your blood sugar? In this episode of Thriving Beyond Diabetes, we’re joined by Registered Dietitian Julie Ruelle, who brings over 20 years of experience in nutrition, clinical care, and healthier food innovation. Julie is on a mission to help people cut through confusion, make informed food choices, and take control of their health, one step at a time. We explore what ultra-processed foods are doing to your body, how to read food labels without getting overwhelmed, and why progress (not perfection) is the key to lasting change. Plus, we’ll explore the GoCoCo app, designed to help you make more informed food choices and support better blood sugar management.
Episode Highlights
Improve Joint Health & Mobility
In this episode of Thriving Beyond Diabetes, we spoke with Jeff Bailey, founder of Avita Yoga Online and author of Mobility for Life. After a serious ski accident in his 50s, Jeff discovered a new way to heal his body by focusing on joint compression and mindful movement instead of traditional stretching or intense workouts.
Now in his 60s, Jeff shares how that experience shaped his mission to help others improve joint health, build strength, and stay mobile for life.
If you’re living with type 2 diabetes and struggling with joint pain, stiffness, or limited mobility, Jeff shares practical tips that can help you move with more ease, reduce discomfort, and stay independent as you age.
Chronic Illness Recovery
In this episode of Thriving Beyond Diabetes, we speak with Lori Clemmons, a wellness coach, mindfulness practitioner, and author of Rewire Your Wellness. After living with chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, and debilitating fatigue for over two decades, Lori found her way to full recovery using a brain-based approach called self-directed neuroplasticity.
Now she helps others do the same by teaching how to rewire the brain, calm the nervous system, and build a compassionate, healing relationship with the body. Her work is especially powerful for people living with a health condition, chronic fatigue, or other long-term health conditions, where the emotional and mental aspects of wellness are often underestimated.
Start Your Health Reset at 60
What if your 60s could be your life’s most powerful and purposeful years?
In this inspiring episode of Thriving Beyond Diabetes, I talked with Allison McCune Davis, author, traditional naturopath, and mother of five, about thriving after 60, not just surviving. Allison shares how women can take control of their health, create daily routines that energise them, and live with deep purpose, no matter their age or diagnosis.
