I be living it up on vacation, food-wise especially. Late morning, late nights, dessert whenever, cheese galore.

Best Natural Alternatives To Metformin To Reverse Prediabetes

Did you know that there are natural alternatives to Metformin & that it’s possible to reverse prediabetes?

I know I know…when I was diagnosed with prediabetes I just knew that it was inevitable that I would eventually get diabetes mellitus.

And I had heard for years from my grandmother how serious diabetes is and how you don’t want to get it and on and on.

So when a nurse practitioner at my clinic told me I was prediabetic, I was so scared. But then I got to work to see what I could do to reverse it and to get off of Metformin which they put me on.

I’m grateful to say that I no longer take Metformin and I no longer have prediabetes, praise God. So how did I do it?

How to Fall Asleep When Your Mind Races & Lose Weight At The Same Time!

How To Get A Good Night’s Sleep And Induce Those Mystical Weight Loss Inducing Hormones

Whoa, ya’ll!

Mind blown seriously.

Like you, I have always heard that the link between sleep and weight loss was important.

It shows up in many of the “37 ways to lose weight” articles.

It’s usually number 17 or somewhere in the middle of the pack and I personally just gloss right over it because, sleep is not really that big of a deal, right?

I mostly figured that they were just trying to pad their list article to make it longer.

There’s a more “nefarious” reason why I’ve always glossed over the sleep suggestion too.

Try This 1 Minute Lazy Girl Body Care Tip For Beautiful Glowing Skin! 

Do you have super dry skin on your body like I do?

I’ve had dry skin as long as I can remember and I’m always looking for some more home remedies to help alleviate this desert that I call my skin

That’s because skincare matters a lot to me.  Ain’t no shame in my game.

And I don’t know why. Maybe in the big scheme of things, it doesn’t matter but I still care.

Maybe it’s because we have to look at it all the time.

Maybe it’s because we can’t help but compare ours to others but whatever the reason, we can sometimes obsess about the state of our skin.

The skincare industry is a billion-dollar industry and for good reason.

Our skin is our largest and most noticeable organ.

No matter how much I wished we only got judged by the content of our character or by our actions, we still (especially women) get judged by our beauty and skincare is a big part of that.

I used to watch YouTube videos that would show women doing a 10 step skincare routine every night and 20-minute shower routines.

Their skin was glowing and beautiful no doubt but after I got off from work and started writing, running my blogs, cooking dinner, and cleaning, I don’t always want to invest that much time in my skincare.
