No walk? No problem.

When I don’t have time to get outside, I march in place — and here’s why it actually works:

Your muscles don’t need insulin to pull glucose out of your bloodstream. Movement alone does it. So even 10 minutes of marching, calf raises, or standing up and sitting back down can blunt a post-meal spike before it gets out of hand.

This is called non-exercise activity — and it is wildly underrated in blood sugar management.

You don’t need a gym. You don’t need a lunch break. You just need to move.

Try it after your next meal and tell me what happens. 👇

I hate to break it to you… but that salad isn’t getting you to your daily fiber goals.

And if you’re living with Type 2 Diabetes or PMOS, that matters more than you know.

Here’s the truth about fiber:

Most salads are fiber imposters..

A classic Caesar salad ? About 2-3 g of fiber
A typical house salad ? About 2 g, maybe!

Your body needs 25-38 g PER DAY.
Women with PMOS and diabetes should def a for the higher limit.

That means your “healthy” salad is getting you less than 10% of the way there 😅

Why is fiber so important?

✔️ Insulin resistance- fiber slows glucose absorption and blunts the blood sugar spikes that drive insulin resistance deeper

✔️ Estrogen Dominance- your gut is how your body eliminates excess estrogen. Without enough fiber, that estrogen gets reabsorbed back into circulation and fuels your PMOS.

✔️ Chronic Inflammation- PMOS and diabetes are both inflammatory conditions at their root. fiber feeds the gut microbiome that keeps inflammation in check.

Fiber isn’t a wellness trend. For us it’s medicine .

Here is how I get fiber in easily every day:

✅ Acacia Powder = 6 g
✅ 2 green kiwi (w/skin) = 7 g
✅ 1 oz of Almonds = 4 g
✅ 1 avocado = a whopping 10 g
✅ 1/2 c of pinto beans= 9 g
✅ 1 cup of broccoli = 5 g

TOTAL= 41 g 👀

Easy peasy when you’re intentional about grabbing the high fiber value foods
