I have spent quite a bit of time developing this new program. Over the last 10 years, the majority of my clients have had type 2 diabetes (D2), prediabetes (PD2), or Insulin Resistance (IR). Often, it was not why they approached me for help.
For example, someone who had lower back pain of and was overweight knew that if they lost weight, it would help. But they needed to address the back issue in order to really help with the weight. After consulting with them, I would find out that they had D2, PD2, or IR.
Now, all of these things are really intertwined. We know that visceral fat (the fat in and around the vital organs) plays a big role in D2, PD2, and IR. And we know that carrying extra weight puts stress on the skeletal and joint structures, often leading to pain and injuries.
If we treat all three things together, we see improvements in all three areas. Therefore, I would help them with their D2, PD2, or IR condition, which at the same time helped them with their weight, which, with strengthening and stretching exercises, helped with the low back pain.
Over the summer, I decided to develop a program specifically to help those with D2, PD2, and IR. The health statistics of these conditions are staggering.
1.2 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year.*
In 2021, 97.6 million Americans age 18 and older had prediabetes.*
Up to 70% of individuals with prediabetes will eventually develop diabetes.**
Up to 50% of prediabetics will develop diabetes within 5 to 10 years of diagnosis.***
Various research has shown that people with insulin resistance have an estimated range of 50% to 70% chance of developing diabetes. This is mostly due to nontreatment.
Most of these conditions can be slowed, reversed, and even go into remission. Conquer – my D2, PD2, and IR coaching program, was designed to do this!
