Today, our guest is Nina Gelbke or as you may know her from her insanely informative social media accounts, Naturally Nina. Nina is an Accredited Nutritionist & Sports Nutritionist and Crossfit athlete who specializes in sports and performance nutrition, disordered eating, and plant-based diets. 

Nina is known far and wide for her wholesome and delicious recipes that she routinely shares with her fan base, but today I want to chat to Nina about Type 1 diabetes, a condition that she thrives with. See she not only has a serious passion for developing great nourishing recipes, but she is also deeply passionate about helping educate people about how to live and thrive with type 1 diabetes. 

We are going to deep dive into what Type 1 diabetes is, whether or not insulin is good or bad in the body, how to manage your insulin as a diabetic, we also discuss the roles of carbohydrates for exercise and why you shouldn’t pay much attention to low carb diets, and finish off with Nina's philosophy about how to best navigate the Nutrition space to find the diet that works best for you.
