This blog is dedicated to Irl Flanagan, who was my friend and grammar mentor. Over the last 20 or so years, he spent countless hours editing my manuscripts and teaching me the intricacies of sentence structure and the true meaning and the proper usage of words. 

Irl died 4 months before his 100th birthday.

About Me

I’m Peggy Kraus, an exercise physiologist and diabetes care and education specialist. My clients often tell me my superpower is helping people reverse type 2 diabetes — but the impact goes far beyond blood sugar.

After almost 30 years in cardiac rehab, I’ve seen how the American diet has affected people’s lives. I know health isn’t just about managing symptoms. It’s about reversing disease when possible, feeling strong and energized, and getting your life back.

I’ve helped thousands of people lower blood sugar, lose weight, improve cholesterol, and reduce blood pressure — all through simple, strategic lifestyle changes rooted in science and compassion.

My signature 6‑week program, 5 to Thrive, teaches the five key strategies my most successful clients use to create lasting change. And my newest program, Diabetes Rescue, is helping people move toward type 2 diabetes remission with a bold, plant‑powered approach that gives them the tools, support, and confidence to take back control of their health.

A plant‑based lifestyle is powerful. And so are the results my clients achieve.
