What does it really take to reverse insulin resistance, prevent type 2 diabetes, and restore balance with PCOS? Nurse and nutrition coach Grace Yun knows firsthand. After realizing her own blood sugar was out of control, Grace went from caring for patients to becoming her own patient — and ultimately, her own healer. In part of this empowering conversation, Grace shares the nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress strategies that helped her naturally reverse her symptoms. We dive deep into why blood sugar balance is at the root of PCOS and hormone health, how small shifts like breakfast swaps and breathing practices can make a huge difference, and the mindset changes that move you from “all or nothing” to consistent progress. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, suspect insulin resistance, or simply want to reclaim your long-term health, this episode will help you see that real change is possible — and that you’re worth the effort.
