I’m a health coach who specializes in helping men reverse insulin resistance and take back control of their weight, energy, and long-term health. 

 

My coaching is rooted in the science taught by Dr. Benjamin Bikman and the Insulin IQ framework, which focuses on lifestyle-first strategies to improve metabolic health.

 

My path to coaching started with my own interest in fitness and performance.

 

Along the way, I saw how often men struggle with weight, fatigue, and early signs of metabolic disease, without realizing insulin resistance is at the root.

 

That pushed me to get my Master Primal Health Certification and then my Insulin IQ certification so I could help others with practical, evidence-based strategies that work in real life.

 

I don’t hand out quick fixes. I teach you how to eat, move, sleep, and live in a way that makes your body more insulin-sensitive, so you can build habits that last and avoid the chronic illnesses that cut life short.

My health coach journey began in my early 40’s as I started to put on the dreaded midlife weight gain despite exercising (chronic cardio) and ‘eating healthy’ (read standard american diet) as I had always done. Developing significant asthma and allergies in my 40’s was unexpected, as were the symptoms of perimenopause really becoming prominent at that early age. I was exhausted, falling asleep while commuting and at my desk in the afternoon, drinking more and more coffee right through to day’s end just to stay awake till bedtime, not to mention being irritable.” I realized there might be more to the health puzzle than just keep exercising more and more, finding 3 workouts a day becoming unsustainable with 3 little kids to care for. I began my journey in finding an audiobook called The Obesity Code by Jason Fung. As I listened, I felt like my mind was being opened to a whole new world, a new way of looking at health that I had never encountered in all my years of healthcare training as a pharmacist. This was the missing piece to the puzzle. Since that day, I jumped in with both feet into the metabolic health world, devouring all the information I could get my hands on. First, through intermittent fasting and building on that with low-carb strategies and gut health approaches, I lost weight and developed a new approach to health that didn’t leave me exhausted, physically and mentally. Building on optimizing dietary and exercise strategies, I have also improved both my asthma/allergies and my perimenopause symptoms.

Cardington, OH, US

Speaks English

Like most health coaches, I arrived at this place because of my own health journey. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 12 years old. In my 20s, I was diagnosed with Graves' disease, another autoimmune condition. In my 40s, I received another diagnosis…celiac disease. This third autoimmune condition sent me down a path of discovering what was causing my immune system to go awry and attack my own tissue instead of potential pathogens. 

 

As I tried different approaches to heal and discovered how the ultra-processed-food world we are a part of played a significant role in my health challenges, I wanted to share what I was learning. In 2017 I earned my coaching certification and then in 2021 earned national board certification in health and wellness coaching. As I began coaching, the people who came to me all had similarities. They all were insulin resistant and moving towards a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. I found it remarkable how that was a commonality despite the multiple different conditions that were a struggle for them. 

 

I went down a rabbit hole to learn more about insulin resistance and how it might connect to some of these other situations my clients were dealing with. Soon I discovered Ben Bikman's book Why We Get Sick. His explanation of the link between high insulin levels and so many chronic conditions made a light bulb go off in my mind. Because the approach of lowering insulin made so much sense, I became a certified coach with Insulin IQ.

 

In working with clients, we co-discover ways to get insulin levels and blood sugars back under control. Since going through perimenopause and then menopause as a Type 1, I have worked to keep my insulin low to control my weight. This perspective has helped me to understand even better the role insulin plays in people who may not yet have diabetes, but who are struggling with insulin resistance and who are carrying extra weight. It's wonderful when I watch clients connect the dots and then find success in managing their metabolic health with incremental habit changes. This approach to regaining health truly does work!

Speaks English

I'm passionate about helping others reverse chronic metabolic diseases like pre-diabetes, diabetes, and cancer. I learned decades ago that the body is a healing machine when we give it what it needs. My personal journey includes the ordinary metabolic miracle of healing from late stage liver cancer, with an expected expiration date during the spring of 1998. Simply put, I want others to experience the very same success I experienced. I'm not a hero. I simply learned how to take care of myself in every way a person must. And my body did the rest. As an Insulin IQ coach, I will walk beside the person who has a strong desire to heal and a willingness to transform their health by learning what to do, then acting on the sound knowledge provided by Insulin IQ. If nothing changes, nothing changes. Of course, there are no guarantees, but improvement and the possibility that metabolic disease can be reversed is inevitable when we give our full attention to a very important mission.

Health and Fitness Coach

16 years of experience

Speaks English

Adrian, a native of Georgia, is self-educated in the field of nutrition and fitness. After graduating from Georgia State University, he became a CrossFit Coach because of his love for fitness and health. During this coaching time, he found himself going deeper and deeper into the “rabbit hole” of nutrition and well-being.

Adrian knew that good health was something essential and foundational for everyone. Noticing how disconnected we are from food intelligence, it became his goal to become knowledgeable about sound nutrition.

After several years of training clients in and out of the gym, he realized that many people would not get the health-oriented results for which they were striving, no matter how vigorous the workouts or how many calories were restricted.

As for himself, he was always trying to figure out ways to have better sleep because he knew sleep is essential to one’s health. As a coach, he continued to educate himself and experiment with diets and workouts for better and sustainable health for himself and his clients.

After noticing the common ground and parallel information from his research and experimenting, Adrian realized that understanding the relationship between blood sugar and insulin could lead to the healthy lifestyle people are looking to achieve. Once he made these adjustments to his own nutrition, his sleep problem was resolved.

Adrian continues to focus on helping clients using his experience and knowledge, and he hopes to reach as many people as possible to help them achieve their health goals. He is happy to have found Insulin IQ which has created a place for coaches to unlearn some aspects of traditional nutrition and to relearn sound principles to help bring better health for all.

Hi, I’m Carrie.

I’m so glad you’re here.

As a Registered Nurse with 17 years of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how important true health and well-being are—and how often people feel unsupported in achieving it. I became a nurse because of my deep passion for helping others, but my own health journey opened my eyes to a different path.

Like many, I reached a point where I didn’t feel fully supported by the traditional medical system. That experience led me to seek deeper answers—and ultimately transform my own health. Now, I’m here to share what I’ve learned so you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I believe that with the right support, guidance, and education, lasting transformation is possible.

What I offer is a shift away from the traditional “sick care” model and toward a proactive, root-cause approach—focused on prevention, reversal, and management of chronic disease. This is about putting you back in control of your health and your life.

Together, we use food as medicine and build a foundation rooted in sustainable, realistic habits. Wherever you are on your journey, we will co-create a personalized plan designed to meet you where you are—and move you forward.

Through small, consistent changes, we create powerful, lasting results.

If you’re tired of chasing quick fixes or relying on a “magic pill,” this is your opportunity to do things differently.

This is your time to take action.

This is your time to build a healthier, stronger you.

Let’s connect—and create something transformative together.

Are you ready?

Insulin IQ Certified Coach, Nutrition Health Coach, Certified Brain Health Professional

Speaks English, French, German, Hungarian

Welcome! I’m Eszter. I’m a Certified Insulin IQ Coach, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Brain Health Professional, and a Trauma-Sensitive HeartMath Practitioner.

 

What people do not know about me is that I have overcome a great deal of health problems in the past. Despite being physically very active, in my early twenties, I was struggling with weight issues and PCOS. In my late twenties, I developed pre-diabetes, and in 2008, Raynaud's Disease. For many years, I had high blood pressure, and I was stressed out and felt overwhelmed. 

 

Getting to where I am now took years of self-discovery and healing. I first turned to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), where I earned my Health Coaching Certificate. I studied the ins and outs of holistic health, including foundational nutrition principles, nutrition science, and over 100 dietary theories, personal development, and goal-setting.

 

Until last year, I did not know that insulin resistance is also associated with most of these conditions. Serendipitously, in 2024, I discovered the work of Dr Bikman. Because of the approach of lowering insulin, which could be the key to reversing serious health conditions, I signed up at Insulin IQ to become an Insulin IQ Coach. 

With the acquired knowledge as an Insulin IQ coach, I provide an expert hand in helping individuals reverse insulin resistance, improve their metabolic health, and achieve lasting wellness.

 

I provide one-on-one coaching to middle-aged individuals who are struggling with chronic health issues, feel exhausted, stuck, and emotionally overwhelmed. I focus on bio-individuality, helping my clients feel their best through the application of individualized food and lifestyle changes that meet their unique needs and health goals.


I support clients to restore their health with personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes. I am passionate about teaching people how to reconnect to their body, so that they are empowered to make diet and lifestyle choices that are right for their individual biology.

 

So if you need guidance and encouragement, as a Health Coach, I put the power back in YOUR hands.

Brain · Body · Bank™ Coach

US

Brain · Body · Bank™ Coach — helping you master your metabolism and your money.

I help women take care of their health and their money at the same time — because when you’re under financial stress, your body pays the price, and when your health slips, so does your confidence to build the life you want. I stopped treating those as separate problems a long time ago.

My approach is simple: baby steps, not overhauls. Instead of telling you to cut everything out, I help you crowd out — adding in the foods and habits that nourish you, so the things that don’t serve you naturally fall away. It’s gentle, it meets your body where it is, and it’s especially powerful through perimenopause and menopause, when your body needs grace, not another restrictive diet.

I’m a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and trained through NASM in women’s health science — and I’m a certified Insulin IQ coach. I admire Dr. Benjamin Bikman’s strategy on insulin and metabolic health. His science is the backbone of how I help you understand what’s actually happening in your body, instead of guessing your way through another diet. You receive his entire 90 day InsulinIQ program with me as your coach.

My background also runs deep on the financial side — real estate, mortgage, and reverse-mortgage planning (CRMP) — which is exactly why I understand how powerfully money stress shows up in the body. I hold a PhD and an MBA, but what I care about most is walking alongside women through every season, from the young years all the way through the silver stage.

Mind, body, and bank.

It’s never too late to change your story. Let’s connect.

I’m a walking testament to how the Standard American Diet—what I call the "SAD"—can quietly wreak havoc on your health, and how Insulin IQ can turn it all around. For most of my life, I thought I was doing fine, relatively healthy. But over time, things started to slip. High blood pressure, sleep apnea, and crushing fatigue became my new normal. Then came the big blows: surgery to remove my gallbladder, kidney stones, a heart attack, and, to top it all off, a type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

 

I was drowning in a sea of eight medications, including insulin, just to keep my head above water. But I wasn’t getting better—far from it. The treatments were masking symptoms, not addressing the root cause. That’s when I found Insulin IQ. Their approach, grounded in tackling insulin resistance head-on, was a game-changer. By ditching the carb-heavy SAD and embracing nutrient-dense, low-carb eating, along with targeted lifestyle shifts, I started to heal. My blood sugar stabilized, my energy surged, and my health began to rebound in ways I hadn’t thought possible.

 

Today, I’m off all eight medications. I feel healthier and more vibrant than I have in years. Insulin IQ didn’t just treat my conditions—it gave me the knowledge and tools to take back my life.
