You know what you're supposed to do. Doing it every week is the hard part.
I'm Jessica, a nurse practitioner and diabetes educator. This is twelve weeks of coaching for women and men with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes. We build your plan around the week you actually have, and adjust it as your week changes.
We start Wednesday, October 7.
Wednesdays at 7:00 PM Pacific. Sign-ups close Friday, October 2.
You know what to do.
So why isn't it working?
It is not willpower. The advice you have been given was never built for a week like yours.
You already have the information
You've read the articles. You've tried the programs. You know more than you think you do. Information was never the problem.
Then Wednesday happens
Monday you are set. Then work runs long, or something at home needs you first. Your health is the first thing to go.
Something you can keep on a busy week
Not another challenge, and not another meal plan. A few habits simple enough to hold when the week is full, and easy to pick back up the week after.
Your A1c went up at your last visit, and your doctor brought up another medication. You were told to eat better and move more, and the appointment was over before anyone said how.
You do fine for two weeks after an appointment, and then it fades out. You know moving more would help your blood sugar. You are still trying to work out when it fits.
That is not a willpower problem. That gap is what the Metabolic Reset is built to close.

The STEWARDSHIP Framework
I built the STEWARDSHIP framework because I needed it. Not as a theoretical exercise, but as something to hold onto when life gets full and the daily commitments start sliding.
I watched my grandmother and my father be lost far too soon to preventable chronic disease. That loss shaped everything about why I do this work. It is personal. It is the reason I became a nurse practitioner, the reason I specialized in endocrinology and metabolic health, and the reason I do not take this work lightly.
I am a doctoral-prepared nurse practitioner, a certified diabetes care and education specialist, an Army veteran, a solo parent, and a woman of faith. I have advanced training in endocrinology, obesity, and lifestyle medicine. And I still have seasons where my own health habits slip, because knowing and doing consistently are two very different things, and that is true for everyone, including me.
What the STEWARDSHIP framework gave me is not perfection. It gave me orientation. A way of engaging with my health that holds across demanding seasons, because it is connected to something deeper than motivation.
That is what I bring to everyone I work with who is tired of just managing their metabolic health and ready to actually change it.
How It Works
We meet virtually once a week for about an hour. Each week covers one core concept of the STEWARDSHIP framework. You leave knowing the one change you are making that week.
What you do with your body
Physical
- Sleep. Short sleep raises cortisol and leaves your body less responsive to its own insulin the next day. We work on what you can actually protect on a weeknight.
- Training. Muscle is where most glucose goes, and a working muscle pulls it out of your blood without needing insulin. Ten minutes after a meal counts.
- Eating. Protein first, fewer refined carbs, food closer to how it was made. Steadier blood sugar means less demand on your insulin, without counting anything.
- Water. Hydration affects kidney function, appetite signals, and how you feel by mid-afternoon. The easiest pillar to fix.
How you keep it going
Behavioral
- Accountability. Change holds better when someone is expecting you. This is the support a short appointment does not have time for, and the reason the group exists.
- Rest. Rest is not sleep. Chronic stress keeps cortisol up, and cortisol brings glucose up with it. We plan recovery the same way we plan effort.
- Discipline. Habits, and a kitchen set up so the right choice takes the least effort. Fewer decisions left to willpower at six in the evening.
The deeper layers
Whole-Person
- Soul Care. Prayer, scripture, and community for those who want it. Every principle here stands on its own for those who do not.
- Hormonal Health. How insulin interacts with estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid, and how that shifts through perimenopause and past it. Taught so you understand what you are looking at.
- Insulin Awareness. Insulin resistance builds quietly for years while an A1c still reads normal. You learn what it is and which tests to ask your own clinician for.
- Purpose. What your health is actually for. It is what keeps the other ten going when motivation runs out.
Soul Care and Purpose bookend the framework. Everything else sits between them.
Every session is recorded. If you miss one, you can watch it and catch what you missed.
What You Get
Both options give you the whole program. The difference is how much support you want with it.
Group Coaching
Best if you want the weekly structure and people working the same week you are.
- Food ready on the hard nights. You learn the batch cooking method, so there is something to eat when nobody wants to cook.
- One change a week. You leave each session knowing the single thing you are working on.
- A way to pick it back up. If something gets in the way, we work out how you start again without waiting for Monday.
- A check-in you answer. I post one every week in the group space in the Steward app.
- People working the same week you are. You are in a group doing the same thing at the same time.
- You can see your consistency. The Steward app shows how consistent you were week to week.
- Recordings. Every session is recorded. If you miss one, you can watch it and catch what you missed.
Group + Private
Best if you want all of that plus private time to shape it around a complicated week.
Everything in the group, plus:
- A 45-minute first call to build your plan. We map your actual week: your work hours, who cooks, what your evenings look like, how you are sleeping, and what you have already tried. You leave knowing what you are doing and when.
- Five more private calls after that. Thirty minutes each, every other week, on your schedule.
- We adjust it every two weeks. We look at what worked and what did not, and change the plan.
- A private check-in every week. By email. You tell me how the week went and what got in the way, and I answer.
What this is not. This is coaching, not medical care. I do not write meal plans, I do not manage medication, and I do not look at your glucose, weight, or labs. Your own doctor or nurse practitioner does that.
