You've probably heard all the buzz about intermittent fasting (IF) lately. With claims of weight loss, better blood sugar control, and metabolic improvements, it’s easy to see the appeal. It sounds simple and effective...but is there more to the story? As a dietitian, I’ve had so many clients with diabetes come to me excited about trying IF, hoping it might be the magic bullet they’ve been looking for. And honestly, I get it. The idea of streamlining your eating routine is appealing. But here's the thing: managing diabetes is a unique journey for everyone, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. In this episode, let’s take a closer look at the research behind intermittent fasting, some of the potential downsides, and why a more flexible approach like intuitive eating might be the better fit for most people managing diabetes.

New Year, new you, right? We’ve all felt that irresistible pull to start January with grand resolutions: adopting a strict diet, committing to an intense workout regimen, or deciding to completely overhaul our lives. But let’s be honest—how many of those bold plans actually survive past February? As a dietitian with over a decade of experience, I’ve seen this pattern unfold countless times. It’s not failure; it’s just human nature. We’re wired to crave fresh starts and big changes, especially when a new year rolls around. But, it's not realistic, and it’s certainly not sustainable. Falling short of these massive goals doesn’t mean you lack willpower or discipline; it just means the approach might need to be gentler and more aligned with how change actually happens: slowly and step-by-step. In this episode, we join Juna Gjata and Dr. Eddie Phillips, hosts of "Food, We Need to Talk". These two are experts in making health and nutrition feel approachable. We'll be discussing powerful insights on why resolutions fail and how to make sustainable habits stick.
