Episode Synopsis

Welcome to another exciting episode of my podcast. Today, I had the privilege of hosting the ever-brilliant and inspiring April Federico, who shared with us her unique journey navigating life with diabetes, alcohol addiction, and her transformative shifts in mindset.
April Federico is a certified nutritionist, gut health consultant, and hormone health and type 2 diabetes expert who educates and empowers women to have healthier relationships with food, nutrition, and themselves. In February 2022, she nearly succumbed to diabetic ketoacidosis, and she was alcoholic for 4 years prior to giving alcohol (and coffee!) for good! On top of that, she is a social media and publishing powerhouse.
Here are the key takeaways from our chat:

The Interplay Between Diabetes and Alcohol: April underscored the crucial link between these two and explained how alcohol consumption can greatly impact blood sugar levels. The biological response varies significantly among individuals, emphasizing the importance of personal health awareness.

The Role of Diet: April shared insights into her dietary regimen. Incorporating apple cider vinegar into her routine has proven beneficial for her, plus she's been nurturing a love for homegrown organic fruits and vegetables. While moderation is key, she stressed the benefits of low-glycemic fruits and a high fiber diet.

The Power of Mindset: Overcoming alcohol addiction has been a transformative journey for April. It’s required considerable changes in mindset, with spirituality and journaling playing a vital role in her healing process.

Public Accountability: April believes in the power of community. She mentioned how keeping her followers updated about her progress through social media platforms like Instagram has helped her maintain accountability on her journey to wellness.

Health Changes: April highlighted some significant health improvements she has experienced since quitting alcohol and coffee, such as reduced PMS symptoms and weight loss.

Healing is Not Linear: April reminds us that the journey to healing is a non-linear process. It's okay to have setbacks, as they are part of the process. It's about progress, not perfection.
