Brooke Stewart, PT, DPT — and fellow T1D — is back on the podcast!
In this episode, we dive into the powerful shifts Brooke made over the past year to move out of a long-standing freeze state and how that transformation impacted her diabetes management. She opens up about the emotional and physical work it took, what changed, and what surprised her along the way.

We also talk about her recent marathon with the Beyond Type 1 team — including the behind-the-scenes of running 26.2 miles with T1D, how she prepared, and the real-time blood sugar strategies that carried her through race day.

And of course, Brooke shares practical, doable nervous system regulation tools that T1D parents can start using immediately to support both themselves and their kids.

It’s grounding, inspiring, and full of takeaways you can actually use.
