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).

I'll be the first to admit when I can't do something on my own... and the time has come for me to put my pride aside and hire an Ironman coach...


On DAY ONE he blew my mind so much that we're making it into a podcast episode...


3 things that I picked up from him that have a direct link to YOUR T1D management - if you're looking to make real progress.


It was humbling, eye-opening, and ultimately very comforting to have this much-needed chat.

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.

7 years ago, I almost died in Paris France from a low - last week I went back to face my fears...


And it was more challenging than I expected.


In today's episode, I share the "diabetes trifecta of danger" that nearly wrecked my blood sugars (and my trip) while traveling through Greece for my buddy's wedding.


If you've ever experienced rough blood sugars as a result of a chaotic schedule (because life can get crazy sometimes), then THIS is the episode for you.
