Shauna works from home on her laptop and she has gained 30lbs since the pandemic started. When Shauna first started her weight loss journey she was struggling and it wasn't just the extra weight that she gained physically, it's how the extra weight made her feel about herself emotionally and she was struggling with her self image and confidence.

In this episode you'll learn exactly what Shauna is doing to lose the weight and how she has already lost 7lbs of body fat and increased her insulin sensitivity as a result and how you, too, can apply these things to your own fitness journey so that you can successfully achieve your weight loss goal.

Rachel has been living with type 1 diabetes for 23 years and she is an RN, CDCES and Coach for women living with type 1 diabetes using an approach that helps promote hormone health which in turn make blood sugar management a lot easier and more predictable. A big focus of Rachel's is educating on the impact menstrual cycle hormones have on blood sugars and she specializes in helping women with type 1 diabetes. Her interest in women's health as it relates to diabetes started after overcoming a longgggg period of burnout. (she was sitting through lectures in nursing school and had a bit of an AHA moment).

She lives with her long-term partner who also lives with T1D and he's been inspirational in showing her that she can live with tight control pretty easily. However, living with a male T1D also showed her how much easier they have it in regards to lack of hormone fluctuations (he really doesn't have to consider all the things us women do when it comes to monthly cycles!) Oh, and Rachel also eats a plant based diet!

In This Episode You'll Learn:

How your menstrual cycle affects your periods, how to manage blood sugars around the different phases of your menstrual cycle, what to eat during your cycle, hormones, basal testing.. and more! :)

Sarah is Australian and she's been living with type 1 diabetes for just over 10 years and has been Plant-Based for just over 1.5 years. Sarah is a lived experience turned Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Theraputic Applied Percussion (TAP), and Mindset Coach on a mission to help other humans be the best human they can be using the tools and techniques she's learnt through personal experience over the years, plus her training and intuition. She uses the term "lived experience" because it means that she's more than likely lived it, which as a coach she feels is important to convey so that people know she's not only coming from a place of empathy, but a place of understanding thanks to first hand experience. Before becoming a coach she was a radio announcer and artist manager in the music Industry.

We also talk about:

• Sarah's diagnosis story
• NLP and common limiting beliefs around diabetes
• Mindset
• The things that hold us back and how to bust through obstacles
• Tapping into the subconscious mind and overcoming limiting beliefs
• Emotions and how most limiting beliefs aren't what we think they are
• Sarah shares a fun and simple exercise on emotions to get started and build awareness so that you can uncover limiting beliefs and create a success mindset!
• Sarah's journey to eating a plant based diet
• What Sarah eats in a day
• Plant based protein food sources

Protein is an essential macronutrient meaning, the body requires a minimum amount of protein each day. In this episode you'll learn why protein is so important especially if your goal is weight loss and also how protein can affect blood sugars.

NOTE: There are many resources online to find information on how much protein your body needs individually but as a general rule of thumb protein is usually set between 0.8-1.2 g/lb for fat loss.
