Blood sugar
dogs millions
of Americans.
Fatigue that doesn't lift. Weight that won't move. Brain fog, mood swings, sleep that doesn't restore. Half of American adults have prediabetes or diabetes — and most don't know it yet. Blood sugar instability is the quiet force behind a lot of what's stealing your vitality. The good news: it responds remarkably well to the right approach.
prediabetes or diabetes
well with Type 1
You need stable glucose and steady energy to build the life you want — with or without your dog helping you. And I can help you get there.

You don't have to have a diagnosis yet
to feel like your body is fighting you.
Your energy is unreliable
You crash after meals, drag through afternoons, and wake up already tired. You've tried cutting things out, adding things in. Nothing sticks because the underlying system is still unstable.
You want to age without adding medications
You're watching what's happening to people around you and you want a different story. You're curious about longevity, nature, your body's signals — and you want to work with your biology, not override it.
You're managing a diagnosis — or trying to avoid one
Whether it's prediabetes, Type 2, Type 1, or just persistent metabolic drift, you need more than a handout. You need someone who has lived this for four decades and knows what actually works.
Stability isn't a feeling.
It's a system.
Blood sugar doesn't exist in isolation. It talks to your hormones, your sleep, your stress response, your inflammation levels, your mood. When you stabilize glucose, everything else gets quieter. Energy returns. Weight becomes easier to regulate. Brain fog lifts.
Most approaches treat the symptom. This work looks at the whole system — what you eat, when, how you move, how you recover, how you manage stress — and finds the leverage points that actually compound over time.
- Glucose stability and metabolic health fundamentals
- Reducing chronic inflammation through food, movement, and rhythm
- Energy management — not just the afternoon crash
- Long-term vitality practices drawn from yogic science and longevity research
- Ancient wisdom over modern lies
- Building systems that outlast willpower
80% don't know it.
Type 2 is largely preventable
with the right systems.
Type 2 diabetes in their lifetime

Forty-plus years of living with Type 1 diabetes — through research studies, clinical trials, every iteration of the technology, and a lot of real life — taught me what the literature alone can't. Your situation is specific. Let's look at it together. In one conversation, we can usually identify what's actually driving your symptoms and map a clear next step.
We look at what's actually going on — energy, glucose, inflammation, patterns.
You leave with clarity about what's driving it and what to do first.
No hard sell. If working together makes sense, we'll talk about it then.

My father was a PhD microbiologist and clinical chemist who contributed to the development of early home glucose monitors and the first insulin pumps. I grew up in a house where understanding the science of metabolism, nutrition, and blood sugar wasn't abstract — these were subjects at the dinner table.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1996 and enrolled in the DCCT/EDIC longitudinal study — one of the most significant diabetes clinical trials in history. That gave me access to the science at a level most patients never see. It also gave me forty years of data on my own body. I set out to combine that rigorous Western foundation with the best of what yoga, Ayurveda, and holistic health sciences had to offer.
Along the way, I studied public health, nutrition, behavior change, systems thinking, and the emerging science of healthy aging. My dog Cocoa — a black Lab and Golden Retriever mix — trained herself to detect my glucose shifts before my monitor could. She became a teacher. Now, approaching 60, clinical evidence confirms I figured some things out. Not because I'm perfect. Because I built systems that work even when I'm not. The body communicates long before it reaches crisis. The skill is learning to listen.
That's what this work is about.

Blood Sugar Dogs
Stable Glucose, Real Energy, and a Life You Want
For more than forty years, I've navigated Type 1 diabetes, researched metabolic health across disciplines, and watched what actually moves the needle for people living with blood sugar challenges. This book is that story — part memoir, part science, part practical guide.
It begins with diabetic alert dogs and the remarkable fact that the body sends signals long before symptoms appear. Cocoa taught me that. The question the book poses — and answers — is what to do when you start paying attention.
Blood sugar instability isn't just a diabetes problem. It touches energy, weight, mood, inflammation, sleep, and how fast you age. And it is far more workable than most people are told.
My book, Blood Sugar Dogs, Foreword by New York Times bestselling author, Raymond Aaron,is the result — a story about stable glucose, inflammation, and what happens when you stop managing a condition and start building a life. Along the way, my dog Cocoa showed me something no device could: the body signals before it breaks. We just have to learn how to notice and respond.
Blood sugar instability touches everything — your energy, weight, mood, joints, and how fast you age. Most don't connect those dots until something forces them to. This book does. It's written for those who are done feeling dismissed, done chasing symptoms, and ready for an approach that actually holds.
If you're tired of the numbers game, the medication treadmill, or feeling like your best years are behind you — this book offers a different approach: stabilize the system first, and everything else begins to change.
