The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

You're listening to the Wellness Herway podcast. I'm your host, Gracie Noren, and I'm so excited to provide you with the space where you get to shape what wellness feels like to you.

Wellness Her Way is where we make a home of our body, mind, and soul instead of jumping on

trends for short-term results. We've got one body. We're going to nourish it, love it,

respect it, and embrace it through all its forms.

problem. A lot of my aunts, they have diabetes. They're still living with it. Some of them have had
