How to get more energy with less sugar: Uma
November 23, 2025
In this episode, I talk with Uma, a health coach and yoga teacher based in South Africa.
Uma shares her personal journey of growing up with a diet full of sugar and flour, how her health began to decline, and what finally inspired her to make a change.
Uma opens up about the fear of developing diabetes, which runs in her family, and how she learned to take control of her health, not just through food, but by exploring the deeper emotional and energetic roots of stress and cravings.
We explore how processed foods and starches play a hidden role in blood sugar issues, and how emotional eating is often a signal from the nervous system.
Uma offers simple, powerful tools—like mindful breathing, movement, and energy awareness—to help calm the body and reduce cravings.
This conversation is an inspiring reminder that lasting change doesn’t require perfection, just the willingness to come back to yourself, one small step at a time.
