We are proud to have Nancy working with us as your ‘Healthy Diabetes Coach’.

“Hi, I’m Nancy Heinrich and I’m working to make a difference in diabetes, prediabetes, and obesity.

We can get to healthier weights, control diabetes, and stop prediabetes from progressing to diabetes when we make smart choices and simple changes in our daily lives.  I am writing books, producing a video series, and creating innovative solutions to get this message across in a clear, concise way based on my work with thousands of adults.  We can bring down health costs for business and families.  Every American with diabetes should be comfortable discussing the basics about carbohydrates, yet our health care system keeps people ignorant, often intentionally.

I teach and empower people just like you, how to start making one small step at a time towards better health. Americans struggling with uncontrolled blood sugars and weight management challenges are entitled to know the truth that simple changes can have huge results.  We can no longer afford to pay the price of ignorance about carbohydrates, dietary fiber, good and bad fats, etc.  With the childhood obesity epidemic worsening and the prediction that children’s life expectancies may be less than ours because of obesity and its impact on diabetes, cancers, and heart disease, the lives – and health – of our children and grandchildren are now at stake.

I look forward to working with you to make a difference in your life and those of your loved ones.”
