Saturday, 10 October, 2026
In this episode, I’m sharing a very personal update on my health journey and what I’ve learned along the way.What started as frustration over stubborn weight eventually led to deeper testing, toxin exposure, high insulin levels, leptin resistance, thyroid concerns, and a whole lot of questions.The good news is that I’m seeing real progress.My insulin numbers are coming down, I’ve lost weight, my energy is better, my brain fog is gone, I’m sleeping better, and I’m getting stronger.This journey hasn’t been simple or linear, but I hope sharing it encourages you to keep asking questions, pay attention to what your body is telling you, and keep moving toward better health.In this episode, I’m talking about:- What my lab work revealed- My experience with toxin testing and detoxification- How my insulin levels changed- What I’ve been doing to improve my metabolic health- The diet, herbs, movement, sleep, and lifestyle changes I’ve focused on- Why strength training is now part of my routine- What I’ve learned from discouraging lab results- Why I’m choosing to keep walking toward better healthFor more information, visit the blog post here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/how-im-reversing-prediabetes/RELATED RESOURCES:- Our Toxin Journey: https://homesteadingfamily.com/our-journey-with-glyphosate-toxicity/- Toxins are Making You Sick - Herbal Cleansing Detox: https://homesteadingfamily.com/herbal-cleansing-detox/- Common Household Toxins: https://homesteadingfamily.com/common-toxins/- Work with Dr. Torrie Thompson: https://homesteadingfamily.com/toxin-testing- At-home insulin/metabolic health kit: https://zivli.com/testing Thanks to American Blossom Linens for sponsoring this podcast.If you're ready to layer on some cozy bedding for those chilly fall nights, be sure to check them out and use coupon code HOMESTEADINGFAMILY2026 for 15% off your purchase: https://homesteadingfamily.com/ABLImportant: This episode shares my personal health experience and is not medical advice.
