Thriving with Type 1 Diabetes: How To Take Control of Your Health


Listen Later

Show Notes: 
Type 1 diabetes is often misunderstood, but for Sarah Bristow, it became the catalyst for a healthier, more intentional life. Diagnosed in 2014, Sarah transformed her approach to nutrition, exercise, and overall well-being—now empowering others through Thrive Coaching. In this episode, she shares her journey, the biggest myths about diabetes, and practical tips for managing blood sugar while still enjoying life.

 

 

Key Takeaways:
  • Type 1 diabetes is autoimmune, not caused by sugar intake or body weight.
  • Blood sugar management is about more than just numbers—stress, sleep, and overall health play a role.
  • Many common “health foods” can spike blood sugar more than expected—learn what to watch for.
  • Tracking blood sugar patterns is helpful, but don’t let it consume your life.
  • Food quality matters—choosing real, whole foods can help stabilize blood sugar.
  • Sarah’s biggest advice for those with Type 1? Find support, educate yourself, and don’t live in fear!
