It's no secret - I HATE lows. But did you know that I still struggle with low-level anxiety that refuses to leave my mind?
It's true, and it's something that I work on (and am challenged by) DAILY.
The good news is that it's getting better with years of work.
I used to be scared to leave the house (seriously)...
Now, well... now I'm an Ironman (somehow)
In today's episode I share a question that I got when speaking on stage over the weekend at a type 1 diabetes event...
"How do we beat anxiety with T1D?"
My answer may shock you, but it's what worked for me and countless others.
Hope you enjoy, I poured my heart into this one

Insulin is a TRICKY variable...
Too much, you die.
Too little, you die (eventually).
Just right - you're good... for now.
And the trickiest part?
The amount needed can change day to day.
In today's episode I share a story from a time when I didn't know how to identify those differences day to day...
And it nearly killed me.
Learn from my mistakes- and avoid them if at all possible.
A scary lesson that I hope you never have to learn the hard way, like I did.

Diabetes doesn't have to be hard. I said what I said.
Doesn't mean it doesn't suck sometimes, but so many T1D's I talk to are missing a critical piece...
A piece that makes diabetes feel more... manageable.
I'm not talking about "take your insulin earlier" or "count your carbs"...
No, believe it or not it's something much simpler...
And yet also even more impactful.
In today's episode, I decided to share a clip from a mindset coaching call I did in our private community - because I know it holds the secret to lasting success with something like diabetes that has no true "finish line".
Listen in and let me know what stood out to you.

Believe it or not, there were CHALLENGES with my 100-Mile race...
Challenges, in my opinion, are opportunities for growth.
That being said, they aren't always the most FUN to break through.
During my ride I learned a few blood sugar lessons that actually apply across the board to all T1Ds - even if you're not an ultra- endurance athlete like me.
More importantly, it may even save your life to know what to watch out for.

The rules are different with type 1 diabetes... the stuff that's "healthy" for the general population just doesn't always translate perfectly to life with type 1 diabetes.
The challenge - which ones are still healthy, which ones are dangerous?
YOU get to decide after hearing this week's breakdown of blood sugars with a dangerous realization...
And narrowly avoiding another hospital trip.

My doctor lied to me when I was first diagnosed...
Though, if we're being honest - he was misinformed, it wasn't a lie.
But this misinformation, even at the level of our medical team (terrifyingly) becomes myth...
And those myths can be detrimental to OUR lives as type 1 diabetics.
Today I'm breaking down and debunking my 5 top type 1 diabetes myths...
And we're doing it with STYLE (aka - I broke the "rules" of T1D with my experiments, and I've got some crazy stories for you as a result).
These debunked myths will challenge what you knew - and FREE YOU for what's ahead...
Thriving with type 1 diabetes.

ALL diabetics (yes, me included) struggle with one of two (or both) of these underlying causes of unnecessary suffering...
The embarrassing part - I've been coaching others on how to fix this for YEARS, and only JUST noticed it in my own life.
In a single day I was able to actually fix this problem, and when we uncover the issue in your own life - you might even be able to discover blood sugar freedom faster than I did.

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.
