What if it were possible to FIX blood sugars in less than a single day?
Today's story that Zak shares with us highlights the incredible improvements that can be made when the right strategy (aka FORMULA) is implemented...
With blood sugars going from completely wacky and unpredictable - to smooth, steady, and over 90% time in range... in the first DAY.
You'll need to hear it to believe it because Zak shares the details of what worked for him, how it worked so fast, and a surprise that made me get a little teary-eyed that he shared during our chat.

Imagine you've given WAY too much insulin and you're sure that this could end in a hospital trip...
What do you do?
The challenge arises - balance the insulin (and other factors that you'll hear about) to avoid a life-threatening LOW blood sugar...
WHILE also not taking in too much and rebounding into a HIGH blood sugar...
And to do so in a calculated manner with your 80/20 Blood Sugar Formula (without panicking).
That's exactly what my client did in a story she shared with us in a private coaching call that had my jaw on the FLOOR while reading through it...
I knew this story would inspire new ideas and save lives in our community, so I got her permission to share the gritty details with YOU today...

I easily could have ended up in the hospital if I wasnt using blood sugar formulas over the weekend...
Something WILD happened to my blood sugars recently, and when I realized that no doctor talks about this - I knew I needed to make an episode about it.
If you've ever been slapped upside the head by a mysterious high or low blood sugar...
It was probably due to THIS phenomenon.
Can't wait to hear about what you get out of this one.

There's something in your food that can make or break your meal blood sugars...
Too little - massive spike.
Too much - delayed spike.
Just the right amount - absolute perfection.
This single shift in my eating habits fixed nearly all of my struggles many years ago...
And today I break my silence to share it with you.
Honestly, it's probably the #1 reason people experience "mystery" blood sugar ups and downs.
Give it a listen if you want better blood sugars with meals WHILE also enjoying the more fun foods.

I used to wake up STUCK with higher numbers, even a 45 minute pre-bolus didn't seem to work...
Until I made an important distinction (that I'll walk through the specifics of in this episode).
There are TWO big reasons that most of us have difficulty first thing, and if you get this wrong...
It WILL set you up for the blood sugar roller coaster all. day. long.

Let me be clear - I'm not perfect or immune to the negatives of type 1 diabetes (or life)...
And I hit a wall, HARD.
Burnout is real, it shows signs, and when those signs are ignored - it wreaks havoc.
I recently experienced some far-reaching burnout that went so far as ending my 5.5 YEAR streak of staying consistently over 90% time in range...
But it goes deeper than that and ended up impacting me emotionally, mentally, and even physically with sickness and injury.

Blood sugars are about MORE than just the food that enters your mouth...
Turns out it's not just about glucose and numbers, but also about dental health and the impact on blood sugars!
A few months ago, we had dental expert, Dr. Katie Lee, hop into our private community to teach on this exact topic...
And she blew our minds.
Long story short, we decided to share it with the public because it was just that impactful.
I'm going through her book now, and when you listen to today's episode, you just might learn something new as well (like I did).

When I was first diagnosed, my doctor guessed at my insulin needs and said "let me know how it goes".
In other words - even HE wasn't confident that it would work.
Looking back, this ticks me off.
Newly diagnosed diabetics like me being left to fend for themselves with a "best guess" approach to T1D management.
In a recent conversation with my private clients - the topic of "calculating total daily insulin with precision" came up, alongside what a "healthy" amount of insulin looks like as a target.
Long story short - the topic is an important one, reminded me of how most people are calculating it wrong (at the misdirection of their medical teams), and led me to recording this DEEP dive on the topic for YOU in case your insulin is set up incorrectly...
HINT: you're probably (accidentally) taking the wrong amount of insulin.
This episode will show you EXACTLY how to calculate that, and more.

Ever wonder how "good" life can get with T1D?
In today's episode, I pulled one of my current clients aside who was able to use the 80/20 blood sugar formula to FLIP his world upside down (though, I suppose "right-side up" is more accurate)...
He went from frustrated and confused with blood sugars that would just NOT cooperate...f
To in control and FREE, where even during a week of absolute CHAOS, he was able to maintain 89% time in range, nearly effortlessly (because of the blood sugar formulas).

If you've ever struggled to lose fat with T1D, you're not alone.
The reality is that losing weight with diabetes is actually harder, and often overlooked.
Here's the reason - if your blood sugars aren't working for you, they're working against you.
Low blood sugars mean consuming extra calories that you didn't even want...
High blood sugars mean your body can't function or recover optimally...
Blood sugars that bounce up and down stress out your system and damage your blood vessels...
And at the foundation - diabetes is a metabolic disease that, you guessed it, impacts your metabolism.
It's not your fault that you didn't know the secret to weight loss and T1D - and in today's episode I break down some common misconceptions, mistakes, and mysteries...
So that you can finally lose the weight and get back to feeling your best.
