5 to Thrive
Meet Peggy
Peggy Kraus, MA, RCEP, CDCES is a registered clinical exercise physiologist. She holds a master’s degree in adult exercise and is certified in both diabetes care and education and in teaching plant-based nutrition – a combination of credentials that has helped to make her an expert in both weight loss and reversing type 2 diabetes.
Peggy’s approach to good health is easy: Eat plants. Move more. Get good sleep. Let it go.
Peggy’s been counseling people on nutrition, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease for more than 25 years. She worked with thousands of people who have health-related goals just like yours.
Many years ago, Peggy learned that exercise could lower blood glucose. So, if exercise could lower blood glucose, what else could? Since then, she’s been scouring the research for information about what raises and what lowers blood glucose. From what she learned, she created a type 2 diabetes reversal program and named it aptly, Erasing Diabetes.
Because a key component of lowering blood glucose is weight loss and weight-loss maintenance, Peggy has developed a smart system that will help you to reach your ideal weight and stay there. To be able to help more people, Peggy also counsels people without diabetes to reach their goal weights. No smoke. No mirrors. Just simple steps to long-term success.
Peggy has also worked in cardiac rehab for more than 25 years where she encourages her cardiac patients to adopt a plant-based diet so they can improve their outcomes and avoid another cardiac event.
Peggy is married and has two 20-something year-old sons and Leo, their Puerto Rican rescue. Peggy commutes to work via bicycle -- to do her part for the environment and to help stay fit and strong.
