Living with diabetes can be a daily challenge, and it can feel stressful and overwhelming to understand how to make changes to manage it properly. Ancestors from all cultures used food as medicine to heal the body and manage chronic conditions. In our fast-paced, quick processed food society, we’ve gotten away from using this knowledge to support our health and wellness.
As a registered dietitian specializing in diabetes, Melinda Penny-Washington uses ancestry to return us back to our roots to heal using nutrition.
In this class, you will learn how different foods affect your body, gain tools to help you stay on track and make positive, lasting changes in managing blood sugars and learn how to create a personalized meal plan that you can apply to your lifestyle.
This class is designed for people living with prediabetes, diabetes, those who have a family history of diabetes and care for those living with diabetes.
