My Struggle with Gestational Diabetes as a Food Content Creator - Chef Julie Yoon
I struggled with gestational diabetes as a chef and food content creator, and although I'm not proud of it, I wanted to share my story to help others like me feel less alone. I wish I was a beacon of hope and recipe inspiration during this time, regardless of my restrictive dietary needs, but the nausea on top of everything else took me out of commission. This video rides on the coat-tails of my previous video where I shared about my sudden Bell's Palsy diagnosis while pregnant. So when I found out that I had gestational diabetes too, it almost took me down! It got easier towards the end, but the beginning was rough! Here's my story, along with why I'm actually thankful I had gestational diabetes in the end! Thanks for watching!

My Sudden Bell's Palsy Diagnosis while Pregnant at 40 - Chef Julie Yoon
Переглядів 1,4 тис.14 днів тому
I was suddenly diagnosed with Bell's Palsy when I became pregnant with our second child at 40. I was shocked to wake up one day to see half my face had fallen down! My symptoms were so random and extreme that even the doctors were left confused. Bell's Palsy is a lot more common than you'd think, but the stress was amplified because I was also dealing with other pregnancy concerns. I filmed mys...

As you know, I shared that I had Bell's palsy while pregnant, and when I think about the timeline, some of my illness I've been dealing with may be correlated to that. But although it's ...

      Thanks for your kindness. I feel like it was a perfect storm with one new health concern after the other for a while. It definitely was hard to not be discouraged during this time, but having our cute little baby helped! I'm just thankful to be coming out of some of these things now and there were many lessons learned!
