  • There's more than one "hard truth" with type 1 diabetes, but in today's episode I share one of the few that you can actually change in your diabetes management to make it easier...

    With my private clients, I like to start most of them off with "quick wins" before we jump into the personalized, more detailed stuff...

    Today's episode covers one of those 'quick wins' that you can do without even talking to me or working with me...

    And it's probably the simplest, most overlooked strategy in type 1 diabetes.

    Listen in, USE IT, and change your life forever.

    In all truth - it's actually the MAIN thing I used that took me from out of control and frustrated all the way to stable blood sugars and happiness.

  • Is diabetes a disability? Some say yes, some say no...

    In today's episode I discuss an interesting debate I had with a client, my thoughts on disability passes for diabetics, and a shocking shift in mindset that may have changed the entire outcome of my life (as a result of my diabetes diagnosis).

    Bonus: I also do actually talk about how to manipulate the 'system' to benefit your blood sugars, you're not going to want to miss this one!

  • On a private T1D coaching call with my highest level clients, we were discussing the 'secondary impacts' of using a smart insulin pump and other "new" methods for managing blood sugars...

    And how they actually don't work as intended.

    In fact, all these fancy new T1D devices that we use, might actually be making your blood sugars HARDER to manage.

    I shared a few clips from the coaching call and dove a bit deeper in today's episode..

    Guarantee this'll spark some ideas for ya (and hopefully help you avoid this frustrating experience discussed).

  • You've heard (or lived) the experiences - roller coaster blood sugars, scary hospital visits, mystery and frustration while feeling like there's nobody coming to help us with our blood sugars...

    In today's episode, I had the chance to sit down with one of my current T1D clients, Kelli, as she shares her incredible journey from erratic numbers to confidence and understanding of her blood sugars.

    It wasn't an easy road, but the lessons shared in today's podcast are some that can only be learned from experience (or by learning from the experience of others when you tune in).

    I'm SO proud of Kelli and all she's battled through, and it's so exciting to see how she's implemented everything that she shares in today's breakdown episode.

  • What if our blood sugars... were misleading us with their patterns?

    What if there was a better way to know exactly where they would end up (especially if spiking or plummeting)?

    What if there were a way to identify and interpret exactly what our blood sugars were trying to tell us?

    In today's episode (that definitely isn't medical advice), I share an example of when I choose NOT to treat an oncoming urgent low...

    What happened as a result (YIKES)...

    And how I used blood sugar formulas to "push" blood sugars exactly where I wanted them to go after a scary moment.

    You're not going to want to miss this one as we continue on with last week's episode on the "law of exchange".

  • Exactly 1 year ago, I called 9-1-1 for a low blood sugar...

    Last week - I ran into the exact same scenario, but ran into an unexpected turn of events.

    I'll be transparent, this one shook my confidence a bit for the rest of the day...

    And the scariest part - it could happen to ANY of us (yup, you too) at any moment.

    I made no "obvious" mistake, but it's one that could have ended my life as my blood sugars PLUMMETED 30+ points down with each 5 minute CGM update towards an urgent low...

    WITH a massive dose of insulin that was given only minutes before.

    In this episode I share something that I've been teaching my clients for years, a piece of the 80/20 blood sugar formula that I used to avoid a trip to the hospital in this situation...

    "The Law of Exchange"

    Tune in today to hear about my terrifying experience, learn how to spot (and fix) this mistake in your own life, and pass along the knowledge to save a life.

  • Through a recent experience that left me bloodied and bruised, I had a flashback to the day I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes...

    And I recalled the moment that even though I wanted to give up and go cry in a corner - there was one thing that helped me to stand strong and keep. Moving. Forward.

    In today's episode you'll learn how I stay motivated with diabetes (and avoid burnout)...

    The voices I hear in my head (kinda kidding, kinda not)...

    And the secret sauce that helped me to avoid burnout (and led to the creation of the phrase "Keep up the Fight")

  • There are a LOT of things that impact blood sugars... But I recently learned about a situation where insulin changes how it works, and it was SCARY.


    On a recent mountain biking trip in the mountains I experienced a bit of the blood sugar roller coaster - enough to make me question if I'd make it out of the forest (because I was by myself).


    In today's shocking story, you'll learn about compounding blood sugar variables, how to identify them, and how to AVOID them so that you don't end up in a scary situation like me.

    I hope you enjoy.

  • Our blood may hold the secrets to unlocking our health, and as T1D's it's critical we understand these when managing blood sugars.

    In today's episode, I decided to share a private interview that I did for my clients recently, as they said it was wildly helpful and eye opening.

    In this interview, we discuss nutrition from differing perspectives, blood labs and why they aren't as effective as something new, and even identifying which vitamins and minerals YOU may be deficient in as a diabetic (and how to fix it).

  • T1D is HARD, relentless, and challenging - so I came up with a new mantra that honestly, gave me my 'mojo' back through some really difficult times.


    If that sounds foreign, a mantra is a phrase that you can use in challenging times to remind you of your strength.


    It gives you hope.


    It makes you feel superhuman.


    And in today's episode, I share a recent "update" in my new favorite mantra that I'll be using from here on out...


    As well as how to use it to build resilience with type 1 diabetes.

  • This is our reality - type 1 diabetes still holds the potential to be a death sentence...

    Even for me.

    No matter how well controlled, no matter how restricted or "safe" we try to be...

    All it takes is one bad day and a few wrong choices, and we're done.

    In today's episode, we respectfully discuss a recent death of a type 1 and the two important perspectives that can and should be gained from this news.

    I also share some news of my own if you stick around till the end.

    If this is a sensitive topic for you, maybe put this in the "listen later" folder.

    I hope you enjoy and use it to improve.

  • Forced experimentation: I took a new insulin that I’d never had before out of desperation…

    If diabetes has taught me one thing, it’s the skill of adaptation (and “rolling with it”).

    I didn’t plan on running out of insulin, definitely not taking a mystery insulin in the middle of the jungle, and certainly not the bonus lesson that a stumbled across with a blood sugar at 250 haha.

    It was a rough day filled with opportunity to learn from mistakes, and I hope that today’s episode allows you to learn from mine (so that you don’t have to make the same mistakes).

  • New fear unlocked: my wife and I got sucked out to sea in a Hawaiian rip current...

    And it opened my mind to something that we as type 1 diabetics face nearly every day...

    An unseen danger, that if gone unnoticed, could spell disaster (or worse), with blood sugars.

    In today's episode, I felt it was important to share something that could save a few lives (and definitely your time in range) as I walk through the story of a pretty traumatic experience from our vacation in Hawaii.

  • I had the chance to sit down and chat with one of my clients that recently had an “ah-ha” moment with the diabetes math that we teach…

    And I was so impressed at her calculations for ‘rescuing’ some rough blood sugars in a really complicated situation and ending perfectly in range without any sacrifice!

    In today’s episode, I asked her to break down exactly HOW she calculated her blood sugar formula, why it was important, and share a few secrets/tid-bits from her time in coaching with us.

  • My blood sugars didn’t exactly “behave” during my Ironman 70.3 race, so how was I able to stay 96% time in range for the whole thing?

    There’s a single decision-making framework that I use (and teach my clients) that enabled me to fix my blood sugars on the fly in the middle of a 7 hour endurance race…

    And I want to share that with you today.
