Hello, I’m Jelina
I’m a Clinical Pharmacist and Holistic Health Advisor with extensive experience spanning 17 years in healthcare. My expertise lies in aiding individuals grappling with Type 2 Diabetes or prediabetes. Over the years, I have guided numerous patients towards lowering blood sugar levels, shedding excess weight, reducing medication dependency, boosting energy levels, and fostering lasting dietary changes.
My Story
The first few years of my health journey, I was stuck in the same place you might be stuck now: I was warned that it was only a matter of time before I was going to have diabetes because I was overweight, have a family history of diabetes and I was feeling frustrated that I was eating healthy, exercising for hours but nothing was working.
Finally, I had a friend in my book club who lost 60 pounds and I asked her secret. She was still drinking wine and not scrutinizing what she was eating! She guided me to some resources and before I knew it, I was doing research on how food affects our body, learned mindset techniques and the food industry’s role on the current diet. I saw my weight drop effortlessly, my mood improved, and I had more time because I was not working out as much. I implemented multiple techniques, some were successful, and others were not.
I took the successful techniques and applied them to my patients who had Type 2 Diabetes and people that just wanted to lose weight. They had PROFOUND results where several stopped needing medications like insulin, reversed their diabetes and lost 30-40 pounds. That’s were I found my passion – to help people lower blood sugars, lose weight, feel more energetic and feel empowered by food choices.
