Southwest Health invites community members to take charge of their health through a new 4-part nutrition and lifestyle series designed to support individuals with pre-diabetes or those looking to improve their metabolic health and manage their weight. The Pre-diabetes Workshop Series is a four-month program focused on improving blood sugar, building sustainable habits, and enhancing overall health, without extreme dieting. The series is led by Kelsey Dresen, RDN, CD, and Danielle Leibfried, MS, RN, CDCES, who will guide participants through practical, evidence-based strategies that can be applied in everyday life. Each session is designed to break down complex health concepts into approachable, actionable steps, helping participants build confidence and long-term success.
The series includes:
Session 1: Understanding Metabolic Health
Explore how small lifestyle changes can have a meaningful impact on your health.
Session 2: Eating for Stable Energy & Satiety
Discover how to build balanced meals that support steady blood sugar and help you feel satisfied.
Session 3: Healthy Habits
Understand how physical activity, sleep, and stress influence metabolism and blood sugar—and how to use them to your advantage.
Session 4: Putting It All Together
Review how small changes, healthy habits, regular exams and lab work all help to improve overall health.
This series is ideal for individuals newly diagnosed with prediabetes or anyone seeking practical ways to improve energy, nutrition, and overall wellness. Participants will leave with realistic tools to support lasting lifestyle changes.
