You Can’t Workout to Beat Your Labs: Joanne’s Wake-Up Call on Blood Sugar & A1C

by Dee Davidson, FDN-P

Join Board Certified Functional Health Practitioner Dee Davidson, FDN-P as she sits down with her past client Joanne, who shares her surprising journey after receiving lab results post-annual physical. From the outside, Joanne looked like the picture of health—fit, active, eating mostly clean, and full of life. But her A1C told a different story: it was elevated, leaving her mind boggled and confused.

In this episode, Joanne opens up about:

• What she learned about blood sugar regulation (hint: it’s not just about sweets!)

• How functional lab testing helped uncover underlying imbalances

• The shifts she made with Dee’s guidance to bring her A1C back into range

• Why insulin is a hormone—and how dysregulation can show up in surprising ways

You do not need to be overweight to have insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes. This episode is a powerful reminder that symptoms don’t always tell the full story, and labs don’t lie.
