How Meditation Impacts Diabetes, with Peter Friedfeld

Like it or not, some "authority figures" in the medical space get diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes, wrong.

Whether it's a doctor, nurse, nutritionist, dietitian, professor, or someone in your family, it's important to know not only how to recognize when they're wrong, but also how to stand up for the truth when they do.

Just because someone has a degree doesn't mean they have all the answers. What to do next...  Leave a review on Apple Podcasts Join the Half-Dead Pancreas Club Follow the Pod on Instagram Follow Colleen on Instagram Follow Jessie on Instagram Follow us on TikTok
