At HeyHealthy, we believe that everyone deserves access to the knowledge and tools needed to manage their health effectively. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that our course, which was previously available only to healthcare providers, is now open to everyone! This course is designed to empower you with the information and strategies to take control of your health, especially if you or someone you love is managing type 2 diabetes.

What You’ll Learn in the Course

1. Taking a Patient-Centered History

Understanding your health history is the foundation of great care. In this course, you’ll learn how to take an in-depth, patient-centered history that can help guide better health decisions. This process is crucial for identifying the unique factors that influence your health and allows for a more personalized approach to care.

2. Lifestyle Interventions

Lifestyle changes can have a profound impact on managing insulin resistance, the root issue in type 2 diabetes. The course will guide you through the specific lifestyle aspects that tie back to insulin resistance, showing you where and how to make effective interventions.

3. Laboratory Evaluations

Staying on top of lab results is essential for managing diabetes. We’ll cover the critical labs you need to monitor and what they tell you about your health. You’ll learn how to ensure that all your organ functions are in check and what steps to take if something is off.

4. Deep Dive into Physiology

Understanding the physiology behind insulin resistance is key to managing it. This course offers an in-depth exploration of what insulin resistance is, how it works, and how you can improve it. We’ll also discuss how lifestyle changes and medications can work together to enhance your health.

5. Medication Management

Medications play a significant role in diabetes management, but knowing how and when to use them is vital. We’ll cover the first-line treatments (which may surprise you!) and explore other options when cost is an issue. Additionally, you’ll learn about proper insulin management, including when to prescribe it and when it might be time to consult a specialist.
