Today's “Plagues of Prosperity” Share One ThiNG: Insulin Resistance

These disorders (and many others) have one thing in common… To varying degrees, each is caused or made worse by the inability of the hormone insulin to perform as it should—a condition largely within our control called Insulin Resistance. Odds are high if you’re suffering from these disorders, that you’re significantly affected by this condition.

We’re a member of The Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners.

The SMHP™ represents researchers and practitioners working to improve the world’s metabolic health through education, training, and support of evidence-based nutritional approaches, including carbohydrate restriction, as a valid therapeutic option or intervention.

one-on-one coaching

Coaching sessions are not “lessons” or informational lectures. They’re personal, heartfelt conversations that help you learn from the things you did last week, clarify your individual goals for the upcoming week, get motivated, and be accountable to yourself.

Targeting Struggles, Celebrating Successes:

What went well last week? What didn’t? Coaches listen to and answer your questions. They provide the support you need to stay focused and move ahead.

Achievable, Weekly Goal Setting:

Our goal-setting framework accommodates individual needs. We’ve found that most action items fall under Your Nutrition, Your Behavior, and/or Your Plateaus. Your coach helps you set goals and you’ll conclude each session with a clear direction for the upcoming week.

Course Content:

Your coach will spend a few minutes each week during your private coaching session discussing the reading you’ve been doing that week inside our flagship course, Reversing Insulin Resistance in 90 Days.

Your Needs:

Your coaching session is your personalized time to focus on your goals. While you’re welcome to guide the session, there’s no need to bring an “agenda” – that’s what your coach is for. Each week, your coach will follow up on your progress, adjust where needed, and set new goals for the week ahead.

Adjusting for Individual Success

Acknowledging Your Nutrition Choices

One of the first steps in transforming health through nutrition is to become mindful of what you eat and drink. Asking yourself “How will eating or drinking this affect the insulin levels in my body?” is a great way to start recognizing and changing patterns of poor food choices and mindless snacking. Insulin-Smart Eating also teaches you better attitudes and habits surrounding portions, and how to honestly own your nutrition choices without guilt or shame.

Finding What Works For You

There is no one-size-fits-all meal plan for eating right, and Insulin-Smart Eating reflects that. Your coach will be invaluable in helping you plan and adjust. While the basic principles remain the same, your personal goals, likes, dislikes, and medical conditions will influence the specifics of your nutrition plan. For example, very metabolically ill clients may have goals like reversing type 2 diabetes or getting rid of a CPAP machine. Others may simply want to lower medications, lose weight, and feel better. In each case managing insulin is the foundation, but the steps vary.

Fine-Tuning Over Time

We’re often asked, “Does Insulin-Smart Eating mean I have to stop eating certain foods forever?” No, not necessarily. After making strides toward reversing insulin resistance and becoming an intuitive eater, many clients find they can reintroduce some higher-carb foods in a way that doesn’t compromise their insulin control. Again, your coach has a lot of experience with these things, so rely on his or her experience and expertise. On the other hand, if a client is not seeing the results they desire, they may need to make adjustments to lower their carbohydrate intake. Getting weekly guidance from our coaches can be a great help here as well. As a general rule, start out more strict than you think you need to be. It’s easier to adjust carbs up than it is to adjust them down.

Becoming an Intuitive Eater

Over time, as insulin resistance is reversed, our clients find that the healthy habits they’ve established become easier to sustain. They learn to eat until they’re “not hungry” instead of eating until they’re “full.” They gain an intuitive sense of what and when to eat to feel great and keep body insulin low. They break the chains of food addiction.

Other Important Factors

While nutrition is certainly the bedrock, other factors such as improving sleep, reducing stress and increasing physical activity play a vital role in reversing insulin resistance. We support our clients in these related objectives and help them become better accountable to themselves for long-term lifestyle success. Coaching sessions include working on these related lifestyle factors.

Shaunna Sparks

At 30, struggling with infertility, she first learned she was insulin resistant but received minimal guidance beyond metformin. Years later, dealing with weight gain, fatigue, and hormone issues, she was diagnosed with type II diabetes. Instead of despair, her doctor offered hope, leading her to Insulin IQ’s Elevate facility in Orem, Utah. There, she found the support and knowledge to reverse her diabetes, get off medications, and regain her energy. Now a certified Insulin IQ coach, she’s passionate about helping others achieve better health. A Utah native, she loves spending time with her family, cooking, photography, and outdoor adventures.

Marci Clegg

I am a mom of 5, active in my kids’ lives, and passionate about outdoor activities like mountain biking, hiking, skiing, and water sports. I’ve done sprint triathlons, love singing, sewing, reading, and upholstery, and have a deep interest in nutrition. Studying it in college and applying it to my family’s unique needs helped me navigate health challenges. When I found InsulinIQ, I was looking for a solution to lose weight, regulate hormones, and improve my sleep. Despite regular exercise, I felt exhausted and struggled with weight gain. Six months into the program, I achieved my health goals, felt energized, slept better, and enjoyed activities more. Becoming a Certified Coach allowed me to help others achieve their best health and live fulfilling lives.
