Join us for a practical session on preventing type 2 diabetes with simple nutrition and lifestyle changes.
About this Event

In this 2-hour class, we’ll talk about easy ways to plan balanced meals, time your eating, and stay active to avoid blood sugar spikes and drops. You’ll also learn helpful tips for managing stress and improving sleep, both of which are important for steady blood sugar. At the end, we’ll introduce Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), a tool available at our practice to give you personal insights into how your blood sugar responds to food and activity.

Laura Foster, a Registered Dietitian, holds a master's degree in nutrition and emphasizes evidence-based research combined with over five years of clinical experience. Starting with a Whole Foods-based diet, she incorporates exciting new research on developing neural pathways in the brain to create personalized eating patterns. Her specialty areas include clients struggling with PCOS, insulin resistance, gut dysbiosis, GERD, menopause, and more.
