    Episode 35 Diabetes, Alcohol and Stress

    Episode 35 Diabetes, Alcohol and Stress

    Hello friends,

    On today's show, we are talking about diabetes, stress, and alcohol. Now these three things have a very complicated relationship, and while many of us use alcohol as a way to manage our stress and make ourselves feel better, drinking too much can actually increase your risk of anxiety and depression. Tune in to today's show as we discuss how you can manage your stress without drinking, and if you do drink, how to do so that it does not interfere with your ability to manage your diabetes.

    Don't forget to share this episode with someone you love,

    With Peace & Love,

    Renee

    Episode 33 Believe in Something Greater Than You

    Episode 33 Believe in Something Greater Than You

    Hello my friends,

    Today on the show, we are talking about the importance of incorporating spirituality into our wellness journey. Including spirituality is part of the whole-person approach to healing, meaning we don't just focus on the disease but on quality of life. Spirituality is not about going to an institution, but about deepening your faith so that you do not feel so alone when things get hard.

    If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, disconnection, or anger that comes with managing a chronic illness, I hope today's episode will help you to expand your focus and begin the process of showing yourself some compassion.

    You will learn some tools to help you start the process of building a spiritual practice.

    With Peace & Love,

    Renee

    Episode 32: When to See Your Doctor Before Starting a New Workout Program

    Episode 32: When to See Your Doctor Before Starting a New Workout Program

    Hello, my friends. I am back with new podcast episodes, and I can honestly say that I have missed you all terribly. Thank you to those who reached out to check on me; your kindness will not be forgotten.

    On today's show, we are talking about when you should see a doctor before starting a new exercise program. I know we have all heard this before, but how many of us do it before we decide to take up walking or pickleball?
    From my experiences and speaking with clients and the dynamic folks inside our Facebook group, I know many of us do not heed this advice. Today, we will discuss when to see a doctor before starting a new workout program. Walking is a safe activity for most folk. Still, even with this gentle and restorative practice, it's essential to get the okay from your doctor if any of the situations we discuss in today's episode apply to you.

    With Peace & Love,

    Renee
