Description
Have you been diagnosed with diabetes or other metabolic diseases like gestational diabetes, prediabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or insulin resistance? Do you worry about the health consequences of these diagnoses? Are you sick of doctors' appointments that stress you out? Are you sick of medications being prescribed to you? Are you sick of finger sticks? Are you ready to leave all this behind you? You can be in control of your food and your health, leaving type 2 diabetes behind you. Better Blood Sugars with DelaneMD is the podcast for women looking for better blood sugars using food as medicine rather than prescription medications. As a physician and life coach, Dr. Vaughn helps women lower their blood sugars and their A1c's, reduce medication use and live life on THEIR TERMS!

303 | Meal Planning for Better Blood Sugars
2025/05/19
In this podcast, I talk about how meal planning can help reverse type 2 diabetes by addressing its root cause: insulin resistance. I explain that insulin resistance develops from repeated insulin spikes, which are mostly driven by the modern, carb-heavy diet. I walk you through how to swap out high-carb meals for low-carb, real food options—without giving up the flavors you love. I also share tips for eating at home and dining out, including how to plan ahead so you’re not stuck guessing. If you find it hard to implement these changes, I invite you to schedule a Reverse Your Diabetes Assessment call.
302 | Your Health, Your Way - Building a Plan That Works for You
2025/05/12
In this episode, we dive into how to create a personalized health plan that actually works for you. Instead of chasing numbers or following someone else’s rules, you’ll learn to define what health means in your own life—through food, exercise, sleep, and stress management. I’ll walk you through simple steps to build a sustainable plan based on your values, not willpower. We’ll also explore common pitfalls and how to avoid them. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by doing “all the right things” without lasting results, this episode will show you a better, more empowering way forward.
301 | Better Blood Sugars Basics - But There Is More!
2025/05/05
In today’s episode, we dive into the four essential lifestyle strategies that drive better blood sugar control—real food, regular movement, stress management, and quality sleep. But knowing what to do isn’t the same as doing it. That’s where mindset comes in. I’ll walk you through why these changes are so challenging, especially when food has been your go-to for comfort, connection, or coping. You’ll learn how to reimagine what health truly looks like for you—and how to start showing up as that future version of yourself today. If you’re ready to do the real work of lasting transformation, this episode is your starting point.
300 | The Power of Decisions: How to Stop the Back and Forth About Junk Food
2025/04/27
Indecision is exhausting—and it’s one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck. In this episode, I share how making decisions you like and stick with is the real key to reaching your health goals, including reversing type 2 diabetes. I walk you through how I broke free from the cycle of daily back-and-forth, and how you can too. We’ll discuss why decisions are actions (not one-time events), how to align choices with your values and authenticity, and how to show up for yourself even when it's hard. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels, this episode is for you.
299 | Rewire Your Brain to Reclaim Your Health
2025/04/21
If you’ve tried everything to get healthy with type 2 diabetes and nothing sticks. What if you are not focusing on the right “right” problem? Maybe it’s time to look at your beliefs (not your food). This episode reveals how your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) creates your experience by filtering in what you already believe. Whether it’s “this is too hard” or “I always fail,” your RAS is finding evidence to prove it true. But here’s the good news—you can shift your focus, change your beliefs, and get very different results. Learn how to direct your RAS so your brain starts working for your health, not against it.
EP298: I Know What to Do—So Why Can’t I Do It?
2025/04/14
Ever said, “I know what to do, but I struggle to do it”? You’re not alone. In this episode, I dive into why so many of us—especially those with type 2 diabetes—feel stuck between knowing the solution and actually taking action. I share my own struggle with budgeting (hello, makeup and restaurant spending!) and how it mirrors the resistance to making dietary changes. The problem isn't knowledge—it's discomfort, resistance, and not getting granular with your plan. You’ll learn how to identify the real issues behind your inaction and get practical steps to finally move forward with your health (or finances!).
EP297: How to be Consistent for Better Blood Sugars
2025/04/07
Consistence is key for better blood sugars! This is a webinar I did in 2024 about mastering consistency. I cover insulin resistance as the cause of your diabetes, how to master strategies to fix your diabetes, client stories, and how to create consistency. Check it out!
EP296: The Menstrual Cycle & Blood Sugar: What Every Woman with Diabetes Needs to Know
2025/03/30
Ever noticed your blood sugars fluctuate throughout the month—sometimes for no apparent reason? You're not imagining things! Your menstrual cycle plays a huge role in insulin resistance, cravings, and energy levels. In this episode, we break down how estrogen and progesterone impact your blood sugar, what patterns to look for, and how to adjust your food, exercise, and self-care to stay on track. Whether you experience big shifts or subtle changes, understanding your cycle is a game-changer for managing diabetes. Tune in and take back control!
EP295: Why Cutting Carbs Alone, Won’t Fix Your Diabetes
2025/03/23
Many people see quick success managing their blood sugars by cutting carbs, but what happens when you decide to indulge? Blood sugars spike, and frustration sets in. The truth is, type 2 diabetes isn’t just about food—it’s about insulin resistance.
In this episode, I break down insulin resistance using a car analogy—bad fuel (food) and how it contributes to poor performance of the engine (metabolic performance of the cell). Fixing diabetes requires more than avoiding sugar; it’s about healing your cells/engine. Ready to learn how? Tune in and take control!
EP294: Overeating & Your Blood Sugars: How to Take Back Control
2025/03/16
Do cravings feel like they control you? You’re not alone! In this episode, I go beyond short-term fixes and dive into how to process a craving—without resisting it and without giving in. You’ll learn why our brains crave unhealthy foods, why even overeating “good” foods can spike blood sugar, and the step-by-step process for sitting with cravings without acting on them. If you’re ready to stop feeling powerless around food and truly fix your diabetes, this episode is a must-listen. Plus, I’ll share how coaching can help you make this change for good. Tune in now!
EP293: Cold Season & Blood Sugars: Why Illness Spikes Your Glucose & What to Do
2025/03/09
Feeling frustrated with high blood sugars when you're sick? You're not alone! In this episode, we dive into why illnesses—like colds and sinus infections—cause blood sugar spikes, especially for women with type 2 diabetes. I’ll explain the role of cortisol, how common medications impact your glucose, and why antibiotics aren’t always the answer. Plus, I’ll share what you can do to support your body and keep your blood sugars as steady as possible. Don’t let a cold derail your progress—tune in for practical tips to stay on track!
EP292: Overcoming Cravings: How to Stop the Cycle and Take Back Control.
2025/03/03
Do you ever feel like cravings and urges are running the show when it comes to your food choices? You know what’s best for your health, but the pull toward certain foods feels too strong to resist. In this episode, we’re breaking down exactly why cravings happen, how emotions like fear and anxiety make them worse, and why your brain is wired to keep you stuck in the cycle. Most importantly, I’ll share the mindset shifts and practical strategies you need to regain control and make choices that truly support your health. If you’re tired of feeling powerless over food, this episode is a must-listen!
