Katerina Varnum
counting, excessive fitness and drugs
My name is Katerina Varnum. I am not a typical Registered Dietitian. I am also a detective to find the root causes of your problem. And I am a navigator to lead you to your goal quickly and with comfort.
I don’t follow dogma.I solve problems of insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes and excess weight through microbiome, nutrition and habits.I practice a holistic approach. It means I see you as a whole person and not as some attachment to the gut. While many treat symptoms, I work on the causes.
I explain how to heal your body without calorie counting, excessive fitness and drugs.
Insulin resistance is usually not tested in the US (you have to specifically ask for this test). Too bad, because its results could pre-warn you that you are heading in a dangerous direction. In Europe, people are tested for insulin resistance; however, the follow-on advice is usually too generic to be of any applicable use.
Prediabetes is a strange diagnosis. As one doctor put it, it’s like saying you’re a little pregnant. Here, either you are pregnant or you are not pregnant.
A woman that has had diabetes for 10 years came to me.Despite medication and a low-carb diet, her A1C was 9.5. Fasting sugar was around 9 (163). After eating, the sugar level was between 8.5 (153) and 15 (270). On the third week of our work, we saw our first sign that we were moving in the right direction.
