In today’s episode of The Balanced Blood Sugar Podcast, we’re diving into a topic that many of us face but rarely talk about: how our body image affects our self-worth, especially when we're struggling with health issues like high blood sugar. Whether we realize it or not, the way we view our bodies can have a powerful impact on how we care for ourselves. But here's the good news—you don’t have to be stuck in a cycle of negativity!

In this episode, I break down why it’s so important to speak kindly to ourselves, how positive affirmations can rewire our brains for better health, and why your self-worth isn’t tied to what you look like or how you feel physically. You’ll learn practical tips on how to stop the negative self-talk and replace it with life-giving words that encourage real change.

In true holistic fashion, I also touch on the spiritual aspect of self-worth, reminding everyone that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by our Creator and that our value goes far beyond what the mirror reflects.

If you’ve ever struggled with body image or felt discouraged in your health journey, this episode is for you.
