Robby Barbaro, MPH, is an internationally recognized diabetes expert and New York Times bestselling co-author of Mastering Diabetes who has helped countless people reverse insulin resistance and take back full control of their metabolic health. He has been living with type 1 diabetes since 2000, has a current A1c of 5.4%, and a time-in-range above 80% while maintaining an active lifestyle.

In today’s episode, we look beneath those accolades to learn more about what drives his passions and pursuits. Robby shares things he has never spoken about before in interviews, such as his spiritual perspective on living with Type 1 diabetes and how that has shaped his personal relationship to the condition, as well as his goal to reverse it in this lifetime.

We discuss why he chooses to eat a raw plant-based diet, whether he ever feels restricted in this lifestyle, his experience training for an Ironman, and how he uses disciplined behavior as a form of self-love. He even shares some insights in some of his other little-known passions: communication and building healthy relationships.

Robby is a dear friend and one of my favorite humans. I’m really excited to get to share this conversation with all of you and I’m sure that you’ll leave with little nuggets of wisdom to serve and guide you.

Brandilyn Tebo is an acclaimed Transformational Life Coach, bestselling author, inspirational speaker and founder and host of The Shift Retreats. For the past 10 years, she has been traveling the world to study and teach transformational modalities and healing arts such as inner child work, subconscious belief reprogramming, Parts Work (Internal Family Systems), The Feel Good Life Methodology, Authentic Relating, Somatic Healing, The Work of Byron Katie and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. 

In this episode, Brandilyn introduces the concept of Parts Work, which is a powerfully transformative, evidence-based psychotherapy approach. She describes how this method can be used to understand yourself & support your growth and healing process. If you’ve ever wondered “Why do I always do this?” - by the end of this episode, you’ll have greater clarity on what is going on when you experience what feels like self-sabotage.

Brandilyn also describes a concept of her own devising, which she calls “InteGreatness” – a unification of the concepts of integrity, integration, and greatness. She explains the etymology of these words and how you can use them to guide and understand the journey of self-healing and stepping to your true power.

Brandilyn is a true healer, and I have so much respect and admiration for all that she creates and gives in service to the world. I’m always excited to share her with my coaching students and now via Reconnect Radio I get to share her wisdom with you, too!
