How often do we think about our health? I remember when I was younger truly taking it for granted and really not thinking about it at all. One day that stopped, I was diagnosed with Diabetes and it stopped me in my tracks.  Thankfully there are resources and one of them is on the podcast today, and really helped me keep my numbers down and avoid medication through nutrition and activity.  I am thrilled she is here today to talk with us about taking the lead and being intentional with our health. aging, and lifestyle.  She is an expert in her field and has helped change thousands of lives through her work, and I know everyone will find value in the knowledge she is sharing with us.  Let’s dive in!

Unknown: 00:02:41

today. Franciscus Fritzler is a registered dietitian and

Unknown: 00:02:45

certified diabetes educator who takes a low carb approach to

Unknown: 00:02:51

optimal health. She previously worked as a clinical dietitian

Unknown: 00:02:55

in the VA Health Care System in Long Beach, California. Before

Unknown: 00:03:00

going into private practice in 2014 Francisca has spent the

Unknown: 00:03:05

past four years writing evidence based guides and articles for

Unknown: 00:03:09

diet doctor.com. Her work has also been published in diabetes

Unknown: 00:03:14

journals and magazines. And in 2015, she authored her first

Unknown: 00:03:19

book, The low carb dietitians guide to health and beauty. I

Unknown: 00:03:24

personally have that book that is also autographed. And I'll

Unknown: 00:03:27

tell you why in just a second. I love this book. She currently

Unknown: 00:03:31

lives in South Florida and recently opened a fully remote

Unknown: 00:03:35

nutrition consulting practice I am super excited about I'm gonna

Unknown: 00:03:40

do a little bragging on Francisca, because we go way,

Unknown: 00:03:43

way, way, way, way, way, way back. We go all the way back to

Unknown: 00:03:46

high school. Um, I can give you that number but also she has

Unknown: 00:03:49

family she is also family. I call her one of my sisters

Unknown: 00:03:53

because her sister is married to my brother. Yes, she's family.

Unknown: 00:03:58

And so I was like, she's like been a dream guest of mine to

Unknown: 00:04:02

come on to the podcast and she said yes. Also, y'all know that

Unknown: 00:04:07

I've had different health things that I've dealt with. So I I had

Unknown: 00:04:11

I was diagnosed with diabetes to several years ago and

Unknown: 00:04:14

Francisco's work. The low carb dieticians guide to health and

Unknown: 00:04:19

beauty as well as leaning into her about diabetes and things

Unknown: 00:04:23

like that literally transformed my diabetes. My numbers fall

Unknown: 00:04:27

into the pre if not, not even pre members never have had to

Unknown: 00:04:31

have medication, because we have dealt with it nutritionally

Unknown: 00:04:36

which I am thrilled so you can imagine why I want to bring her

Unknown: 00:04:39

on here and share all of her wisdom. She's a game changer.

Unknown: 00:04:43

She's a game changer. I love her to pieces and Francisca. Welcome

Unknown: 00:04:49

to the podcast. I'm so excited you are here. How are you doing

Unknown: 00:04:53

today?

Unknown: 00:04:54

Well, first, thank you so much for that incredibly generous

Unknown: 00:04:57

introduction. And I'm so excited to be here. too. And all of

Unknown: 00:05:01

those wonderful things you said about me are right back at you.

Unknown: 00:05:04

You're one of my favorite people on this earth. And I'm so

Unknown: 00:05:07

honored and happy to be on your podcast.

Unknown: 00:05:09

Oh, thank you so so so much. This is like I was like a kid. I

Unknown: 00:05:13

was like a kid in a candy store today because I got up and I was

Unknown: 00:05:16

like, I get to record with friends. It gets awesome. And

Unknown: 00:05:18

all y'all know is like, we can actually see each other. So I

Unknown: 00:05:21

mean, we're not in the same room, but via zoom, because

Unknown: 00:05:24

we're on two different coasts right now. But anyway, so it's

Unknown: 00:05:27

just so fun. This was like, I was like, I get to start the day

Unknown: 00:05:30

with Francisca. So Francisca? Can you share a little bit more

Unknown: 00:05:35

about you? And what drove you to do the work that you do?

Unknown: 00:05:39

Absolutely. So I've been interested in health for a long

Unknown: 00:05:42

time, but I only became a dietitian in my early 40s. I

Unknown: 00:05:47

went back to school in my late 30s, because I wanted to help

Unknown: 00:05:50

people get healthier by eating well stay off of medications

Unknown: 00:05:53

just be healthy overall. And I thought I was pretty healthy.

Unknown: 00:05:57

And I think I was following a pretty healthy diet. But I

Unknown: 00:05:59

didn't realize I was actually eating too many carbohydrates.

Unknown: 00:06:03

For my own system, I did get hungry quite often in between

Unknown: 00:06:06

meals, I would just snack. But I had some lab work done. And it

Unknown: 00:06:10

showed that I had very higher a one C, hemoglobin a one C, which

Unknown: 00:06:16

is a three month measure of your blood sugar. But my fasting

Unknown: 00:06:19

blood sugar was normal. And I thought how can this be I don't

Unknown: 00:06:22

have diabetes, and yet I have this a one C that's almost in

Unknown: 00:06:25

the pre diabetes range, which is one point below. So I started

Unknown: 00:06:28

testing my blood sugar found that my blood sugar was doubling

Unknown: 00:06:31

after meals, when it should only be going up about 30 points or

Unknown: 00:06:34

so. Right? So I started cutting back on carbs and noticing a

Unknown: 00:06:38

huge improvement. And I love sugar. The more I cut back, the

Unknown: 00:06:42

better blood blood sugars were after eating. And I thought if

Unknown: 00:06:45

this is working so well for me, what could it do for people who

Unknown: 00:06:48

actually have diabetes and pre diabetes, who are much more

Unknown: 00:06:52

sensitive to carbohydrates. So I dove into the research found out

Unknown: 00:06:56

there's actually quite a bit of research supporting carb

Unknown: 00:06:59

restriction for diabetes and pre diabetes. And I started a

Unknown: 00:07:02

website, this was all back in 2011, I started a website and

Unknown: 00:07:06

then at the end of 2013, I left my job at the VA to go into,

Unknown: 00:07:13

although my full time practice, as you said, exclusively carb,

Unknown: 00:07:17

low carb based helping people with diabetes, pre diabetes and

Unknown: 00:07:20

other health issues get better with carb restriction. So

Unknown: 00:07:24

that's, and that has been Yeah, so it's been about 12 years that

Unknown: 00:07:28

I've been doing this, and I'm still low carb, and I love it.

Unknown: 00:07:32

And I will talk to anybody who will listen to me about it.

Unknown: 00:07:35

I mean, I love that so much. Because y'all know that I love

Unknown: 00:07:38

the stories of something drove you too want to take a leap of

Unknown: 00:07:44

faith, right want to take on something different. And I

Unknown: 00:07:47

remember when you were going through that and really dove in,

Unknown: 00:07:52

and then it's always so fun to see someone's passion, really

Unknown: 00:07:56

come out to be able to support people to have that optimal

Unknown: 00:08:00

health and educate, educate, right. And you do such a

Unknown: 00:08:05

beautiful job with that. Like I said, it was a game changer for

Unknown: 00:08:08

me. I remember, you probably remember when I was diagnosed,

Unknown: 00:08:11

and I was like, I don't want to go on medication. I want to

Unknown: 00:08:15

figure this out. And you were so helpful. And I was a little I

Unknown: 00:08:19

remember I was like What do you mean, I have to give up? And you

Unknown: 00:08:22

said you don't have to give them up. It's a different way of

Unknown: 00:08:25

looking at carbs and what carbs you can have what carbs we need

Unknown: 00:08:29

to you know, maybe release and I'll tell you what, I never felt

Unknown: 00:08:33

better. That was the thing never felt better. Yeah, I

Unknown: 00:08:37

remember I remember. Right. Yeah, seems like yesterday.

Unknown: 00:08:40

Yeah, it's so

Unknown: 00:08:41

it's so crazy. And I remember to like, here's the thing that

Unknown: 00:08:45

always happens. Whenever you have some sort of health

Unknown: 00:08:49

diagnosis, it seems the very first thing you're gonna hear

Unknown: 00:08:53

is, you're gonna want to lose weight. That is literally one of

Unknown: 00:08:57

the first things and I remember even my doctor and mine, and

Unknown: 00:09:00

this is not any bash at all. She wasn't wrong. Absolutely. There

Unknown: 00:09:05

was some weight to lose. But there was it almost became like

Unknown: 00:09:11

a like a stop. Right. And I think I can go back and look at

Unknown: 00:09:16

those times. And I remember you and I having some conversations

Unknown: 00:09:19

Franciska on why it would be more important to focus on

Unknown: 00:09:23

health, rather than the weight. And so I'd love for you to be

Unknown: 00:09:27

able to share that with our listeners, what your philosophy

Unknown: 00:09:30

is on that.

Unknown: 00:09:31

Absolutely. So, health really is the most important thing. You

Unknown: 00:09:35

cannot buy good health, you should take care of the health

Unknown: 00:09:38

that you have. And although our society places a lot of

Unknown: 00:09:42

importance on weight, and you know, unfortunately, there are

Unknown: 00:09:48

healthy and unhealthy ways to lose weight. If your focus is

Unknown: 00:09:51

weight and not health. You can make some very bad decisions,

Unknown: 00:09:55

especially when the promises of weight, rapid weight loss are so

Unknown: 00:09:58

enticing So, like, look at people like the biggest loser

Unknown: 00:10:03

for instance, people lost a lot of weight in a very short period

Unknown: 00:10:05

of time. Most of them gain the weight back, some of them got

Unknown: 00:10:08

were very unhealthy afterwards and have ongoing health issues.

Unknown: 00:10:12

So losing weight should not be the focus. If you eat in a way

Unknown: 00:10:17

that promotes good health, that keeps your blood sugar under

Unknown: 00:10:20

control, you will lose weight, you may not lose it as rapidly

Unknown: 00:10:25

as you might want to lose it. But the most important thing is

Unknown: 00:10:29

that you're healthy, and that you can sustain the way that

Unknown: 00:10:32

you're eating fad diets, very low calorie diets, you might be

Unknown: 00:10:36

able to do them for a short period of time and lose weight.

Unknown: 00:10:38

But you can't sustain them long term. And then you can end up

Unknown: 00:10:42

gaining more weight back and compounding your health issues.

Unknown: 00:10:46

So if you focus on really nourishing your body, and

Unknown: 00:10:50

choosing good healthy food, the weight loss will come and it'll

Unknown: 00:10:54

be at its own pace, whatever works for you, whatever your

Unknown: 00:10:57

body wants to do. But other things will improve quickly,

Unknown: 00:11:01

like your blood sugar, blood pressure, and other factors that

Unknown: 00:11:05

make you know your quality of life so important.

Unknown: 00:11:08

Which is so interesting, too, because, you know, I love what

Unknown: 00:11:12

you're sharing about, there really is no quick fix, right?

Unknown: 00:11:17

You might rapidly but then there's going to be some

Unknown: 00:11:20

ramifications from that for sure. And I had battled with

Unknown: 00:11:25

weight for not I mean, for several years in my adult like

Unknown: 00:11:30

late 30s and beyond, right. And it would sort of be this yo yo

Unknown: 00:11:33

effect, which honestly, quite frankly, I think had a lot of

Unknown: 00:11:38

effect on my metabolic makeup. And probably I don't know, but

Unknown: 00:11:44

my thought process is it probably contributed to the

Unknown: 00:11:47

diabetes too, and things like that. Right. And I think that I

Unknown: 00:11:51

love what you're saying, because it's about focusing on our

Unknown: 00:11:54

health. And when you're when you're have and it's a

Unknown: 00:11:58

lifestyle, it is a lifestyle. I know some people are like, I

Unknown: 00:12:01

know, we hear that all the time. But here's the thing. It's a

Unknown: 00:12:04

lifestyle, there's no question. I've watched you. I've watched

Unknown: 00:12:09

you over the years as you took that on, and have seen what

Unknown: 00:12:13

you've created from having that lifestyle consistently, like,

Unknown: 00:12:19

consistently. And it's amazing. It's amazing to see what's

Unknown: 00:12:23

transpired. And it's so it's so important. And so one of the

Unknown: 00:12:26

things I wanted to talk with you about today too, is that taking

Unknown: 00:12:30

the lead now I always say this, like if I'm accountable for

Unknown: 00:12:34

something 20 years from now, and in this case, let's say health,

Unknown: 00:12:37

if I'm accountable for my health 20 years from now, and staying

Unknown: 00:12:42

healthy and functional during aging, which I know you are

Unknown: 00:12:46

very, very passionate about as well. What can we put into place

Unknown: 00:12:51

now?

Unknown: 00:12:52

Yeah, that's such a great question that you're asking me

Unknown: 00:12:55

because really, it is never too early or too late to start, no

Unknown: 00:12:59

matter how old or how young you are, start taking care of your

Unknown: 00:13:02

health now so that you can have a vibrant, functional future

Unknown: 00:13:07

when you know, you're 20 3040 years down the road. So I say

Unknown: 00:13:11

eat the foods that nourish your body, and find a way of eating

Unknown: 00:13:16

that works for you that can be maintained long term, a

Unknown: 00:13:20

lifestyle that you can do. And then also physical activity is

Unknown: 00:13:24

important. Now we all have different levels of what we can

Unknown: 00:13:27

do or want to do physically. Not everyone wants to go to the gym

Unknown: 00:13:30

every day, and you don't have to go but do something physical.

Unknown: 00:13:33

And this is even more important as you get older. I live in

Unknown: 00:13:36

South Florida as you know, the retirement capital of the world

Unknown: 00:13:40

and I have many friends in their 60s 70s 80s 90s they are in

Unknown: 00:13:45

varying degrees of functionality. Some of them are

Unknown: 00:13:47

super functional and take walks you know, miles a day and others

Unknown: 00:13:52

younger Are you know, in wheelchairs or walkers already.

Unknown: 00:13:57

I think that having quality of life as you get older, and being

Unknown: 00:14:00

able to enjoy your older years. If you have kids, grandkids and

Unknown: 00:14:05

just enjoying life, when you have time once you're retired is

Unknown: 00:14:07

so important. So eating well and eating well and exercising,

Unknown: 00:14:12

that's something that you have a say in you don't have a say in

Unknown: 00:14:15

your, your genetics, and what's happened to you in the past. But

Unknown: 00:14:19

from this day forward, you have complete control over

Unknown: 00:14:23

everything. It's up to you what you're going to eat and how much

Unknown: 00:14:26

activity you're going to get. So I say just establish those good

Unknown: 00:14:30

habits and do it in a way that works for you that you can see

Unknown: 00:14:33

yourself maintaining for the rest of your life.

Unknown: 00:14:36

I love that so much because the emphasis is on what works for

Unknown: 00:14:41

you and I and you and you really do emphasize that and I

Unknown: 00:14:44

appreciate it because a lot of times you know and as a coach,

Unknown: 00:14:47

sometimes I will have people that you know it's not just

Unknown: 00:14:50

about growing their businesses or starting you know, leaping

Unknown: 00:14:55

from business to entrepreneurship. Some you know

Unknown: 00:14:58

people bring in personnel Have you know personal things which

Unknown: 00:15:01

health can be one weight loss can be one and it is not

Unknown: 00:15:04

uncommon. I even myself, I can remember like, but why do I have

Unknown: 00:15:09

to give that up? Why do I have to restrict myself? Why don't

Unknown: 00:15:12

why you know all of that. And here's the thing. It's like what

Unknown: 00:15:16

you're saying what works for you. And I always like to say

Unknown: 00:15:19

let's reframe restriction. let's reframe letting go of, let's

Unknown: 00:15:24

reframe it to how do you want your life to be right? How do

Unknown: 00:15:28

you want your life to be? So I love what you're sharing about

Unknown: 00:15:31

what works for you find what works for you, and what how

Unknown: 00:15:35

you're feeling? I love that you use vibrant, by the way, that is

Unknown: 00:15:39

my word for the year. So it's like, yes, right and having

Unknown: 00:15:43

that. And it's so interesting to see the you can see the

Unknown: 00:15:47

distinctions between various age ranges, right, where it is

Unknown: 00:15:53

possible, and who doesn't want to enjoy, you know, as we age

Unknown: 00:15:58

and be able to function and be able to enjoy it. So I am I'm

Unknown: 00:16:03

here for that, you know, I'm going to ask you this, I can't

Unknown: 00:16:06

help it. What are your top three tips for us?

Unknown: 00:16:09

Okay, tip number one, center your meals around protein,

Unknown: 00:16:14

protein is so important. It provides amino acids. Now, there

Unknown: 00:16:18

are 20 amino acids, nine of them are essential, meaning our

Unknown: 00:16:21

bodies don't make them. So we have to replace them every day

Unknown: 00:16:24

in our food. And yes, almost every food has some essential

Unknown: 00:16:28

amino acids. But protein sources, a good protein source

Unknown: 00:16:33

is really important to get the amount that you need. And

Unknown: 00:16:35

protein does so many things for us. First of all, it you know,

Unknown: 00:16:39

keeps our muscles strong. But it's also important for our

Unknown: 00:16:41

skin, our bones, every organ in your body are made up of mostly

Unknown: 00:16:46

protein. So a protein is essential for that. But it also

Unknown: 00:16:50

can help with making you feel full and satisfied. And protein

Unknown: 00:16:54

even gives you a metabolism boost when you digest it more

Unknown: 00:16:58

than carbs and fat. So protein is just fantastic. So since your

Unknown: 00:17:03

meals no matter what diet, if you don't want to do a lower

Unknown: 00:17:06

carb diet, just make sure you're getting enough protein no matter

Unknown: 00:17:09

what. That's very important for everyone. Tip number two is be

Unknown: 00:17:15

careful with alcohol. So I'm not saying don't drink if you like

Unknown: 00:17:20

to drink, there's nothing wrong with drinking, but really keep a

Unknown: 00:17:23

handle on it. Because first of all it is you know, that

Unknown: 00:17:26

basically it is empty calories. But you know, that's it's okay

Unknown: 00:17:29

to have some, but limit the amount because what it tends to

Unknown: 00:17:34

do is really loosen your inhibitions so that all of a

Unknown: 00:17:37

sudden, you know, you're out to dinner, or you're at a party.

Unknown: 00:17:40

And if you're drinking a few, that high carb or high sugar,

Unknown: 00:17:45

dessert or appetizer, you know, it's really, really hard to pass

Unknown: 00:17:49

it up, you just become very, very lacks, and you had good

Unknown: 00:17:52

intentions going in, you've eaten enough, you weren't

Unknown: 00:17:54

hungry. And yet, you just find that you, you can't really stop

Unknown: 00:17:58

and you don't really want to. So if you're a woman, I say limited

Unknown: 00:18:02

to one drink on any one day. And then that's the thing with

Unknown: 00:18:06

alcohol. And then the third thing is don't be hard on

Unknown: 00:18:10

yourself, if you're not perfect all the time. Because guess

Unknown: 00:18:12

what, nobody is perfect. We're all human. Yeah. And the most

Unknown: 00:18:16

important thing is that you overall, try to eat healthy. And

Unknown: 00:18:20

that if you do have a slip up, if you've been you know and

Unknown: 00:18:22

you're upset with yourself, like you know what, it's in the past.

Unknown: 00:18:25

Don't worry about it, just go back to your very next meal.

Unknown: 00:18:29

Eating healthy again, one meal isn't gonna do anything to you

Unknown: 00:18:31

even two meals. It's when you start to say okay, well, this

Unknown: 00:18:35

isn't a good time for me. And I'll just wait until after the

Unknown: 00:18:38

holidays. All right, until this thing is over at work. No, the

Unknown: 00:18:42

next meal, you want to go back to it. Not Monday, unless it's

Unknown: 00:18:46

Sunday. If it's Sunday, it's okay to say start Monday but

Unknown: 00:18:48

don't if it's you know, just the next day, the next meal, you go

Unknown: 00:18:53

right back and then no, you know, again, we're not perfect,

Unknown: 00:18:57

you just do the very best you can and it'll help you to feel

Unknown: 00:19:01

better. And yeah, that's, that's those are my top three.

Unknown: 00:19:04

I love them so much. I also think to the the tip about

Unknown: 00:19:09

alcohol to what I notice is limiting to one drink. And I

Unknown: 00:19:17

feel like sleep is so much better too. And I know you're a

Unknown: 00:19:20

big proponent on sleep and the value of sleep for our health

Unknown: 00:19:25

right? And so there I mean we could have a whole episode on

Unknown: 00:19:29

you know, on that. And then I love well first of all, all your

Unknown: 00:19:33

tips are fantastic. And I really love how you're you're really

Unknown: 00:19:37

encouraging us like you know, we're not perfect. And you it's

Unknown: 00:19:42

it's never going to go perfectly. So no, don't be hard

Unknown: 00:19:46

on yourself. This is my motto is this is a brand new moment of

Unknown: 00:19:49

now, you know I have a brand new moment of now full of a ton of

Unknown: 00:19:52

choices. What's the choice I want to make? Right? And so I

Unknown: 00:19:56

love that you really are instilling that because So many

Unknown: 00:20:00

times we can give up on ourselves. Well, I messed up

Unknown: 00:20:03

today. See, I knew you couldn't do it. So then let's just forget

Unknown: 00:20:07

about it and throw it all out. Whereas, you know, that was one

Unknown: 00:20:10

moment. Here's a new moment. And I'll tell you what, here's the

Unknown: 00:20:13

thing I noticed I love you brought in the holidays. Because

Unknown: 00:20:17

whenever we get together as a family for the holidays, it's

Unknown: 00:20:20

always like, I like to stand behind Francisca in the food

Unknown: 00:20:24

line and just sort of follow her lead. Because there is no

Unknown: 00:20:30

explained, she's like, there's no, this is how she eats to how

Unknown: 00:20:33

she beat so that she feels better. Right, like, Would it be

Unknown: 00:20:38

nice to have the mashed potatoes? Yeah, right. But like

Unknown: 00:20:43

it's you I always notice you like what you put on your plate

Unknown: 00:20:47

is how you feel great. Oh, look that rhymed. What you put on

Unknown: 00:20:50

your plate is how you feel great, right? So following

Unknown: 00:20:52

Francisco's lead. Now I might have a some mashed potatoes, but

Unknown: 00:20:57

it's not going to be a big heaping for me. Because I know

Unknown: 00:21:00

I'm not going to feel better it is. If I had to go to an island

Unknown: 00:21:03

and you could only bring one food. It would probably be a

Unknown: 00:21:06

potato. I can't help it. It's been since I was little but but

Unknown: 00:21:10

I've learned so much through Francisca, but seriously, it's,

Unknown: 00:21:13

it's really it's like, okay, I see what she's putting on her

Unknown: 00:21:15

plate. Great. We're gonna put a little more protein a little

Unknown: 00:21:17

more green, a little more green. Right. So it's so great. So I

Unknown: 00:21:21

think those tips are so important. And I love you model

Unknown: 00:21:24

it to you model it there is like it's again, I've seen you, you

Unknown: 00:21:28

know, we've we've we've had many meals together. And I'm like,

Unknown: 00:21:31

and there. There she is, right. Thanksgiving. Oh my gosh, that's

Unknown: 00:21:35

a carb loaded. That's the ball. Right? But nope. You're like,

Unknown: 00:21:41

you stick with it so beautifully.

Unknown: 00:21:43

Yeah, but the great thing is, you know, I do get to have the

Unknown: 00:21:46

turkey and yeah, and whatever the vegetables are, and the

Unknown: 00:21:49

vegetables can be you know, with with some good fat or soft on

Unknown: 00:21:52

them. Yeah, we don't have brussel sprouts at my sister's

Unknown: 00:21:55

house that often. But I love brussel sprouts roasted. They're

Unknown: 00:21:58

fantastic. So good. So good. And so healthy. So yeah, I don't

Unknown: 00:22:03

feel deprived. It takes a while though. I will say, for people

Unknown: 00:22:06

who start off you don't think you know if you start today. But

Unknown: 00:22:09

every Thanksgiving is going to be super easy, as you know. But

Unknown: 00:22:12

hey, you know, cutting back Yeah, cutting back and having a

Unknown: 00:22:15

small portion of potatoes, as you said, Yeah, huge win

Unknown: 00:22:18

a huge. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. And I love that you said that

Unknown: 00:22:22

too. It would be great if we just flip the switch. And it's

Unknown: 00:22:24

like, but it is it's the practicing of it. Right? It's

Unknown: 00:22:28

the practicing and developing those disciplines that then

Unknown: 00:22:31

serve eventually turn into habits and, and a different

Unknown: 00:22:34

lifestyle. So I love that. What are some of your favorite,

Unknown: 00:22:38

either personal and or client transformations you've

Unknown: 00:22:41

experienced through the work you do? Yeah, well,

Unknown: 00:22:44

personally, I think I already described I don't know if I've

Unknown: 00:22:46

said this, but I never get hungry in between meals. Now. I

Unknown: 00:22:49

used to ask my husband, we would be someplace and I would say I

Unknown: 00:22:51

need to eat something right now. No, I'm getting grumpy. I'm

Unknown: 00:22:55

getting that hangry feeling I never get that I can go hours

Unknown: 00:22:58

without eating very easily. So that's a huge win for me, plus

Unknown: 00:23:01

just having the improved blood sugar, but I'm thinking of a

Unknown: 00:23:04

special client. She was similar to your what happened with you

Unknown: 00:23:08

is diabetes, but much more dramatic because she hadn't been

Unknown: 00:23:11

to the doctor in years. And when she went and had her blood sugar

Unknown: 00:23:15

tested, it was so high, they wanted to put her on insulin

Unknown: 00:23:17

right away. And see overtime. 10 she had blood sugar of like a

Unknown: 00:23:22

300 very high. And she said I don't want to go on medication.

Unknown: 00:23:27

I don't want to go on insulin. Give me three months. And I will

Unknown: 00:23:31

do it with diet. And she contacted me. And we started her

Unknown: 00:23:35

on low carb. And within three months she brought her blood

Unknown: 00:23:39

sugar her a once he was actually in the normal range.

Unknown: 00:23:41

Wow. Five amazing. Yes. And she lost weight.

Unknown: 00:23:45

And she felt so much better. And that was just huge. She was so

Unknown: 00:23:49

terrified of going on insulin. Yeah. That she was like, You

Unknown: 00:23:52

know what, I'll do whatever I need to do. I'll just let me

Unknown: 00:23:54

know what I need to do. And we did. That was huge. That was a

Unknown: 00:23:58

three month huge transformation right there.

Unknown: 00:24:01

Yeah, that's incredible. That is special, because you got to see

Unknown: 00:24:05

that, you know the impact of you working together and that she

Unknown: 00:24:10

was so compelled. Right. She was so compelled. I always say this,

Unknown: 00:24:13

like she knew what she wanted. She was very clear on her

Unknown: 00:24:16

outcome and also her purpose and why doing it. And then what's so

Unknown: 00:24:20

great is Francisca. You get to bring in the end, here's how

Unknown: 00:24:23

we're going to do it. Because that's the thing that where we

Unknown: 00:24:26

can get so stuck, right? We know it and so I always say this to

Unknown: 00:24:30

people be really clear on what you want. That's the outcome,

Unknown: 00:24:33

and also why you want it. What is really important to you and

Unknown: 00:24:37

so for your client, it was so clear, and I love how she

Unknown: 00:24:41

declared Give me three months. Give me three months. I'm gonna

Unknown: 00:24:44

do whatever it takes, and I'm gonna make this happen. That is

Unknown: 00:24:48

amazing. And congratulations to your client and to you as well.

Unknown: 00:24:52

I think that's just incredible. I felt that one. Yeah, I know.

Unknown: 00:24:56

I know. It's amazing. Yeah,

Unknown: 00:24:58

that's all awesome, that's awesome. So what are some of the

Unknown: 00:25:03

ways because I know there are listeners out there that are

Unknown: 00:25:06

Unknown: 00:25:10

ourselves like having health and someone that's really committed

Unknown: 00:27:52

to you and having those successes and Francisca is one

Unknown: 00:27:55

of those people which is why I was like chomping at the bit to

Unknown: 00:28:10

Unknown: 00:28:14

Francisca is the best. She is really great and has such such a

Unknown: 00:28:19

way of being about you Francisca where you just know like, I

Unknown: 00:28:23

think sometimes when it comes to health issues we can feel our

Unknown: 00:28:28

people judging me because people, people judge, right, I

Unknown: 00:28:32

gotta tell you Francisca, you'll feel like you are working with

Unknown: 00:28:35
