Hey Dr. Lockridge thank God you made this video. I went from ac1 level of 5.6 to 6.0. Your videos help me so much. I watch your videos everyday especially when I'm cleaning. Your recipes have helped me tremendously. Thank you 😊
If your A1C level went from 5.6 to 6, your blood sugar is running higher throughout the day. (Type 1 Diabetic for 24 years and Natural Health Professional here). If higher blood sugars are not the goal, you should consider other meal planning samples with more protein, raw veggies/salads for fiber, healthy fats and fewer high carbs/sugars.
I don't know how RUclipsrs can deal with the negative and aggressive comments they get. You are a lot more calm, cool and collected than I would be! Loving your content.
I try to approach it with as much grace as I can! If they are they leaving negative comments when a person is trying to put out positive and helpful content that is more of a reflection on them! So glad that you like the content! Thank you so much for the comment!💚
I love videos like this I just became a holistic nutrtion coach and it is so nice to see things like this. I would love to see a wellness vlog or like wellness routine.
I use the Lalord Pour Over Coffee Maker! Here is the link on Amazon: www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BWH76HM3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1. I use the Zavida Organica Dark Coffee from Costco! I also like the brands Kicking Horse, Kion, and Natural Force. When I am buysing coffe I am looking for organic, 3rd party tested (USDA Organic, Rainforest Alliance Certified, Fair Trade). Hope that helps! 💚
I love your what I eat in a week videos! Recently I’ve been interested in the different phases during the menstrual cycle. What you would recommend eating during those different phases? I’ve heard aside from your everyday food needs, it’s recommended to nourish your body high in certain nutrients and vitamins during each phases. What do you think?
Hey, I am so glad that you are liking the content! So cycle syncing is an interesting concept. There is some evidence to suggest that women may experience changes in calorie expenditure/ nutrient utilization during different phases of the menstrual cycle. To be honest I think that this gets very overhyped on social media. In my opinion there are a lot of other things to focus on, rather than specific foods at specific times. I think that slowing down and resting more during certain phases can be very helpful, but a large part o f that is also based on how you feel. As always actually listening to you body is the best tool. Hope that helps💚
Hello! I was wondering your thoughts on an alternative to the sweet potato you have? I have been tested and have a sensitivity to sweet potatoes. Thanks for any info!
Hey! I also love squash (butternut, kabocha and delicata are my favs), white potatoes, rice, quinoa or other grains can be an amazing carb source too! Hope that helps💚
I use the Zavida Organica Dark Coffee from Costco! I also like the brands Kicking Horse, Kion, and Natural Force. The brown stuff is coconut sugar! Thank you so much for the comment!💚
I got it years ago when I was living in Arizona (that is the shape). I got it from a small store in Tucson! I am so sorry, but I can not remember the name 💚
Hi! Just curious about how many eggs you eat in a week ? I noticed you eat 3 eggs in the morning, I would always limit myself to 2, and just wondering why you eat as many , thanks!!
Hey, I eat 3 each morning, so about 15-21 per week depending on the week! I find that 3 large eggs gets me about 20 grams of protein, and I find that is a good amount for breakfast for me! Hope that helps💚
i see you eating a lot of eggs and i know they're very nutritious, but i'm allergic to them. Do you have any substitute ideas that are as nutritious as them? 🥰
Hey, some of my other favorite high protein breakfasts are tofu scramble, greek yogurt and oats, protein smoothies. If you can't tolerate dairy or soy either than meat based sources of protein can also be great for breakfast! Hope that helps💚
Awesome videos...such a plethora of info for our health...TY...also do you do tele med visits in the U.S.?..I saw on your website it states Ontario residents only?-...it's be such a worthy investment to have you as my doctor...thanks again!!
Hey! so based on the regulatory board in Ontario I am only allowed to see Ontario residents or people physically located here😢! I really wish that could see people in the USA! In the mean time I can just offer the free content or any courses that I have, but I know it is not the same as the 1:1 experience!
@@drclairelockridgend Dang it....ugh...well all i know is Ontario has got a gem like you and are Blessed....hard to find a good NP that resonates with my belief system..ty for clarifying....and ty for the awesome content you share in your videos
It seems like generally in your weeks you eat a decent amount of FODMAPS, clearly not an issue for you but do you have a perspective for those with digestive issues?
Hey! So when I was healing my digestion I focused more on well cooked, low FOD MAP foods. For example instead of having a salad for lunch I would have roasted vegetables or a soup! I think the low FOD MAP diet can be a great short term tool for digestive health while focusing on all the other things that will help heal and support digestion! Hope that helps!💚
@@holyfaceministry9811 The polyphenol resveratrol in red wine is the main reason for the "health benefits". However we know the negative impact alcohol has on health. For that reason I would say you are much better off getting antioxidants/resveratrol from other sources! Hope that answers your questions!
Hey! So a lot of times they are recommending that to try and get peoples triglycerides down, as high TGs are involved in insulin resistance. I think that it can be helpful for some people who are really struggling with the cardiometabolic aspect of it! But it is important to remember that not all fats are the same. The source and the processing of fats matter too! Things like cold pressed EVOO, avocado, nuts and seeds are going to be a lot different than a lot of fats we eat today! Hope that helps!💚
What about this is for people with blood sugar conditions? You put freaking sugar in your coffee. Add things like balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup into meals and there's way to many potatoes a starch in the meals. You even have white pasta in here like what!? What kind of diet for blood sugar control is this!? My doctor said none of these foods are things people with blood sugar issues should be eating regularly promoting this for blood sugar control is dangerous and misleading.
Hey, I never claim that my diet is 100% perfect, infact I think having a perfect diet would be impossible. Like I said in the video there is a lot more that goes into blood sugar control then simply the carbohydrate component of the meal. Insulin signaling, inflammation, polyphenol content, gut health, and meal composition all play a role too. Like I siad in the video it is bout creating a high quality diet that will support overall metabolic function and signaling!
I'm wondering if your doctor has had nutrition education because most do not. Claire is a naturopathic doctor, and they do. She uses coconut sugar and real maple syrup, both of which do not cause the same insulin spikes as regular white sugars and are also healthier than chemically made sugar free substitutes. As for potatoes; did you not listen to the part about resistance starch? It is also important to note how many other vegetables are consumed with her potatoes and pasta. More fiber helps slow down digestion, preventing high insulin spikes. I hope this helped❤

What do you think about adding a glass of wine with dinner?
