From Nurse to Nutrition Coach: Reversing Insulin Resistance and Reclaiming Health with Grace Yun (Part 2)

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Grace’s journey from nurse → patient → coach and how she reversed her own insulin resistance.
• The first steps she took: food label awareness, budget shifts toward fresh foods, and removing carbs from breakfast.
• Why vegetable variety and cruciferous foods matter — and how to ease in without overwhelming your digestion.
• The role of strength, mobility, and cardio in improving insulin sensitivity (and why enjoyment matters most).
• How sleep deprivation, night shifts, and stress hormones keep insulin high and cravings strong.
• Why frequent nighttime bathroom trips may be an overlooked sign of insulin issues.

The connection between PCOS and type 2 diabetes, and why the risk is 4–7x higher.

• A thoughtful look at metformin: when it helps, when it masks, and why lifestyle changes remain essential.
• Simple, doable tools like 1 minute of daily breathwork to calm stress and lower insulin.
• Mindset shifts: moving from perfectionism to progress, budgeting for your own health, and embracing the truth that “I’m worth it.”
• Grace’s definition of true health: not lab numbers, but resilience, recovery, and being the active steward of your own body.

Practical tips to try today:

• Swap your carb-heavy breakfast for protein + healthy fats.
• Add one new veggie to your weekly rotation.
• Insert “movement snacks” between work sessions.
• Practice 1 minute of deep breathing (box, 4-7-8, or simple slow inhales/exhales).
• Celebrate small wins instead of chasing perfection.
