My Story

One person's wake-up call became a mission

Eat Healthy Fight Diabetes — EHFD for short — exists because someone ordinary faced a prediabetes diagnosis and decided to fight back. This is that story.

The founder's story

From prediabetes diagnosis to living proof

Like many people, I didn't feel sick. Life was busy, the kilos crept on quietly, and a routine check-up delivered words I never expected: prediabetes.

That moment became a turning point. Instead of extremes, I focused on changing my mindset first — how I thought about food, movement and my own health. Small, consistent changes followed. Weight came off. Energy returned. Blood sugar improved.

Along the way I shared what I was learning in the Eat Healthy Fight Diabetes community. The response was overwhelming — so many people over 45 facing exactly the same wake-up call. That response became this website, the course, and everything else we do.

If I can do it, you can too. Not because it's easy — but because it's doable, one healthy meal at a time.

Credentials

Trained in evidence-based nutrition

In 2021, I completed the Nutrition Network Advisor Training in LCHF/Keto Nutrition — a program led by Professor Tim Noakes and the Nutrition Network team, covering the science and the practical application of low-carbohydrate, healthy-fat nutrition.

That training underpins the EHFD approach you'll find in the course and across this site: real food, sensible fasting, quality sleep and regular movement — habits that improve blood sugar, support lasting weight loss and fit ordinary life.
