My name is Marlene Carr, and I am a Diabetes and Lifestyle Coach and expert. My journey began with a deep curiosity about how the human body works. Rather than pursuing a traditional medical path focused on prescribing drugs and relying on lab tests, I sought holistic approaches to help people heal.

 

With a profound sense of compassion and understanding for the trials we face in life, along with a long background in spiritual studies, I pursued multiple levels of training in Health and Wellness Coaching, eventually becoming certified in the field. My nursing background, experience as a music educator, and the resilience gained from raising five children have all enriched my approach to coaching.

 

My decision to specialize as a Diabetes and Lifestyle Coach was driven by personal experience. After being diagnosed with Diabetes, I realized the limited support available for managing the condition. Despite following a common diet approach and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, my A1C levels worsened, leading to a health crisis that landed me in the ER.

 

Determined to master my condition, I discovered the Mastering Diabetes program and embraced a plant-based, whole foods diet. This change allowed me to lower my A1C, improve my physical and emotional well-being, and effectively manage my blood glucose levels. Taking full responsibility for my health, I became dedicated to helping others navigate their diabetes journey.
