Holiday sweets--A recipe to support your strategy
Sweets are everywhere this time of year.
And for most people, eliminating them isn’t realistic.

Like stress, sweets aren’t something you can always avoid.
But you can manage them.
You can notice your triggers.
You can choose what supports your balance.

Some people do better by skipping sweets entirely—because one bite leads to a spiral.
Others thrive with smarter swaps.
Either way, it’s about knowing what works—and choosing it.

If you’re looking for a festive treat made from real food—
One your body is happier to receive—
These Minty Cocoa Bites are a smart option.


Wholesome ingredients.
Made from scratch.
Satisfying without the spiral.

Because the smartest choices this season aren’t about willpower.
They’re about clarity. About strategy. About choosing what moves you closer to your goal.

About Peggy...

Let's face it. What we're doing is not working. What we're eating is not making us thinner or healthier.

We need to change our ideas around food and exercise if we’re ever going to change the numbers -- weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. We’ve got to try something else.

Peggy's effective, innovative programs are based on research, new and old. Peggy has worked with thousands of people, leading them to reach their goals… weight loss, lower blood glucose, better blood pressure and cholesterol levels, more energy, you name it.

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.
