About me
Peggy Kraus, MA, RCEP, CDCES, is a clinical exercise physiologist with a master’s degree in adult exercise. She’s certified in diabetes care and education and in teaching plant‑based nutrition — a combination that gives her a clear, practical understanding of what helps people lower blood sugar, lose weight, and build habits that last.

Peggy has spent almost three decades working in cardiac rehab and counseling people on diet, exercise, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. She’s worked with thousands of people who want exactly what you want: to feel better, live lighter, and take back control of their health in a way that feels doable.
Early in her career, Peggy learned that exercise could lower blood sugar. That simple discovery sparked a lifelong curiosity: If exercise can lower blood sugar, what else can? Since then, she’s immersed herself in the research on what raises and lowers blood glucose and has developed a practical, habit‑based approach that helps people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes move toward remission through simple, sustainable daily actions.

Peggy also works with people who don’t have diabetes but want to reach and maintain a healthy weight. Her approach is steady and evidence‑based — no gimmicks, no extremes, just real‑world steps that help people lose body fat and keep it off. Over the years, she’s created a smart, sustainable system that helps people reach their ideal weight and stay there.

In cardiac rehab, where she has worked for nearly 30 years, Peggy encourages her patients to adopt a    plant‑predominant lifestyle to improve their outcomes and reduce their risk of another cardiac event. Her guidance is warm, practical, and grounded in what actually works for real people with real lives.

Outside of work, Peggy is married, has two twenty‑something sons and a beautiful daughter-in-law, and shares her home with Leo, their Puerto Rican rescue. For most of the year, she commutes to work by bicycle — part environmental choice, part staying strong, and part pure joy.

Peggy understands the challenges you’re facing, and she knows how to help you move forward — one small, steady step at a time.
