“I had never heard of ‘Insulin Resistance.’ I was 30 years old and trying to get pregnant with my first child. When the fertility specialist told me I was insulin resistant, I didn’t have a clue what that meant. Was I diabetic? No. Not exactly, but they put me on metformin to lower my glucose. That was really all that was said and no other options were presented or discussed.”

“I ended up getting pregnant with help from drugs and the doctors. I spent years fighting weight gain and hormone issues. Then in 2020 it all came crashing down. I wanted to feel better and I couldn’t figure out why I had no energy.”

“I felt like a terrible mother and wife to my family because I just never felt good. I would crash on the couch after work until bed time. I was just suffering. Finally after an annual checkup with my doctor, I was referred to an internal medicine doctor who delivered the bad news! I was diabetic!”

“But instead of making me feel like I had been handed a death sentence, he told me that I could heal myself! I had no idea that type II diabetes was curable! So he sent me to Insulin IQ’s facility called Elevate in Orem, Utah where I met with my Insulin IQ coach.”

“My world has changed! I have not only been cured of type II diabetes, I have also gotten off all of the medications I was on for blood pressure, insulin resistance, and acid reflux. My world has become brighter as I have found certain health!  Because of my passion for the Insulin IQ program, I was asked to come aboard and become certified as a coach for the Insulin IQ program and have enjoyed helping others find their pathway to health, as well.”

“I am still and will always be on this journey to living a healthy lifestyle and I am constantly learning. I have found purpose in working with others to be a coach and a mentor.”

“I grew up in Orem, Utah. My family is my greatest joy and I’m happiest when I’m spending time with my handsome husband and two awesome sons. I love to travel, spend time on the lake, and chilling and grilling out in my backyard. I’m a great cook (according to my husband!) and an avid photographer.”
