"I Wish I Had Known" - Hidden Diabetes Signs, Family Habits & Hard Truths
In this episode of Casting the Net: Reeling in Holistic Health, I sit down with Coach Cynthia Turner, a certified life and health coach, domestic violence survivor, and cancer survivor whose story will build your hope.
Cynthia opens up about losing her brother to a diabetic coma and her mother to a preventable heart attack, and how not being told the full truth about their health still fuels her passion today. She shares the painful reality of hearing “we’re calling the family” at the hospital, and the “I wish I had known” moments that pushed her to become an advocate for herself, her loved ones, and now for others.
Together, we walk through 10 overlooked warning signs of diabetes, the hidden cost of convenience and processed foods, and how cultural eating habits can quietly pass disease from one generation to the next. Cynthia also talks about her nonprofit, Beyond Nawal Ministries, where she helps people in Alabama navigate diabetes, high blood pressure, re-entry after prison, and domestic violence, while coaching clients nationwide toward healthier lives.
What I love most is how client-centered Cynthia is. She celebrates “small wins” like walking to the mailbox, teaches chair exercises for those with limited mobility, and helps each person connect their health goals to what matters most—grandkids, independence, and quality of life. This episode is a powerful reminder that change starts with mindset, honesty in our families, and daily choices that align with the future we say we want.
If you find value in it, I would be grateful if you would share it with your network, this may be the nudge someone needs to get checked, make a change, or advocate for a loved one.
