Julie Jones is a 48-year old woman who works at a local law firm as an administrative assistant. She has a BMI of 33, waist circumference of 40 inches (102 cm), blood pressure of 134/86 mm/Hg, LDL cholesterol of 95, and HDL cholesterol of 60. Her fasting blood glucose is 90 mg/dL and her HbA1C is 5%. Julie states that she consumes a diet high in processed foods and sugar with few fruits and vegetables. Julie started exercising four weeks ago because her husband wanted company on his evening walks and at the gym (they are now active 5x/week for 30-60 minutes at a moderate intensity). She finds satisfaction at her job and has a consistent and active social life and she has for many years. She often stays up late socializing – particularly connecting with college friends who live in different cities – or completing household chores. Because of this, she reports difficulty falling asleep. She states that she is not concerned with the amount of sleep she gets, but she would like to make changes in her diet. She is not sure where to start, as it seems so overwhelming.
