LET'S TALK!
Personalized help, right here right now!
After I failed my second glucose tolerance test, I sat in my doctor’s office, a little stunned. The results surprised me, and I suddenly felt overwhelmed by a pregnancy complication I hadn’t anticipated, and now knew I needed to learn all about, and fast.
LET ME GUESS...
Your doctor wrote you a prescription for a glucose monitor, and advised you speak with a dietitian. These are import first steps, but you still had a lot of questions.
Some of my questions included:
- Where do I find a dietitian who is covered by my insurance? Is there a difference between a dietician and a nutritionist?
- How does gestational diabetes differ from type 1 and type 2 diabetes? Are there dietitians who specialize in working with pregnant women dealing with GD?
- How do I use my new glucose monitor? What is the most affordable way to make sure I have enough test strips?
- How do I need to change my diet, in broad strokes?
- More practically, how will I eat on the go? Feed my family? Handle pregnancy nausea?
-
What can I eat for dinner? At my baby shower? Over Thanksgiving?
YOU. CAN. DO. THIS.
Over the course of my GD experience, I dove into all these questions head first. I used my background as a professional recipe developer to write recipes that were both safe AND delicious, even within the strict guidelines of my carb tolerance.
Let's make a plan, together!
During our forty-five minute phone call, my goal is to answer your questions, and to be the clear source of information that I didn’t have myself.
AND, FOR A LIMITED TIME, OUR CALL INCLUDES A PERSONALIZED MINI COOKBOOK, WRITTEN JUST FOR YOU.
I want you to have an easier time than I did
Me! I'm Cristina
WRITER, RECIPE DEVELOPER, COOK
MOM TO A ONE YEAR OLD HENRI
GD was a really difficult experience for me. My dietary choices were extremely limited, and I was constantly worried I was messing up. But during the process, I DID manage to create recipes that my husband also found delicious, and that made me feel a little happier and more in control.
I studied English Literature and Creative Writing as an undergraduate. Over the next decade, I earned an MFA in Fiction Writing, attended cooking school at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and studied Interior Design at Parsons.
Food shouldn't feel like a punishment; it should be a joy! If I can make your GD journey smoother and less confusing, I will have succeeded.
While I am building out the recipe-focused, member website, our phone call will include a personalized follow up: an individualized mini cookbook, featuring ten recipes specific to your needs and preferences, based on what we’ve discussed during our call.
Let's really fast-track your success!
- DO YOU NEED --> a little chocolate in your life?
- DO YOU NEED --> a game plan for holiday get togethers and celebrations?
- DO YOU NEED --> ideas for weeknight meals that can be prepped ahead / your whole family will enjoy?
Whatever it is, I will build you your own recipe collection!
