Your Roadmap for Weight-Inclusive Care to Prevent or Manage Diabetes
This four-part road trip takes a more compassionate approach to sustainable self-care and blood glucose management. Join us!
You don’t have to diet to prevent or manage diabetes. You don’t have to chase weight loss to manage blood sugar. And you definitely don’t have to do it alone. This guide is for anyone who has thought, “There has to be another way.” It’s for people in larger bodies who are tired of being blamed, for those managing prediabetes or diabetes who are done with shame-based care, and for anyone curious about mindful eating, somatic nutrition, or making peace with food without giving up on their health.
Start Where You Are
The 4-Part Roadmap is a map to reimagine diabetes care through a weight-inclusive lens. Each part is filled with resources and at the end, offers you your next steps.
Food Math: It's Time to Stop Subtracting Food from Your Diet
This first step helps you rethink everything you’ve been taught about food and health. Instead of focusing on restriction, you’ll explore the radical idea of adding more flavor, nutrients, pleasure, and flexibility. This shift away from diet culture lays the foundation for what comes next—understanding diabetes without guilt or shame.
Understanding Nutrition: No Shame, Guilt, or Diets Allowed!
Now that you’ve begun to release food rules, you’re ready to learn how to manage your health. This section gives clear, supportive explanations of blood glucose's workings—no shame or judgment. When you feel informed instead of overwhelmed, it becomes easier to trust your decisions. You’ll be ready to explore a powerful reframe from here: you’re not broken! You’re ready to heal the damage from dieting.
Healing vs. Fixing: You’re Not Broken
At this stop, you’ll challenge the belief that your body needs to be fixed. Instead of chasing change, you’ll focus on what healing means—with support, nourishment, and kindness. Letting go of diet culture opens the door to something even more sustainable: self-care that meets your real needs.
Conditions for Sustainable Self-Care: No More Quick Fixes!
The final part of this journey is about creating the conditions that make self-care possible. You’ll learn why ease isn’t the same as laziness—and why your need for rest, connection, and acceptance matters. By the end, you’ll have a clearer vision of what sustainable care can look like without rules or restrictions—just support that supports you.
