  • Completing an Ironman with type 1 diabetes was... challenging to say the least.

    In fact, there were a few occassions where if an aggressive decision I made went differently...

    I might not have finished the race at all.

    In today's episode - by popular demand, I walk through, step by step, moment by moment - every blood sugar, insulin decision, and strategy I used in order to complete 140.6 miles of endurance triathlon in what I can now say was the hardest day of my life.

    If you enjoy diabetes details, you're gonna love this one.

  • Ultra-Endurance Athletics, just like real life with diabetes, require the skill of adaptation.

    A few days ago I completed my first ever Ironman race.

    Over the course of the 140.6 miles of mental and physical battles, I encountered a FEW diabetes disasters that required me to think on my feet..

    And ultimately make some decisions that were quite dangerous and could have landed me in the hospital.All things considered, I'm lucky to have finished...

    So in today's episode, I share the details on how I pivoted in moments of frustration, uncertainty, and complications with type 1 diabetes that I ran into during my Ironman race.

  • Ever wonder why blood sugars aren't cooperating after a meal? In today's episode I discuss the exact method I use to identify exactly how much insulin I need at meals in order to stay in range...

    And it's easier than you think!

    The unfortunate truth is that our medical system is often outdated...And in today's episode I share a story about a conversation I had with a client who hadn't been given updated information in over 30 YEARS from her medical team...

    And how this simple switch led to her nearly eliminating after meal blood sugar spikes.

  • 7 site changes, 2 vials of insulin, 1 meltdown... What do you do when diabetes doesn't follow the "rules" anymore?

    I'll be transparent - I had a hard week with diabetes.I made it work... as we all do... but it was a tough one.

    What made it even tougher is that it ended with me heading into my biggest Ironman training block ever...

    100 miles on the bike, 10 miles on a run.

    And believe it or not... blood sugars......... still didn't cooperate.

    They did, however, give me a really interesting lesson through the disaster (as they always do it you're willing to listen to them).

    In today's episode I walk through the enormous amount of insulin needed to stay in range during my century bike ride...

    As well as the distinction discovered through my training block that allowed me to "recover" my diabetes management amidst the chaos.

    Give it a listen for the lesson, stay for the ridiculous story.

  • I canceled my next triathlon, and you should cancel your medical team...

    Pretty shocking, I know! But there comes a time in every journey where you might need to "question everything" and hit the reset button...

    And in today's episode, I share exactly what that looked like in my life right now...

    As well as what you can use to know IF it's time for you to switch gears and update your diabetes management strategies.

  • Blood sugar experiments don't always go according to plan, and this one definitely did not...

    At first.

    Or second, third, fourth, and so on.

    But then something clicked...

    Something magical...

    Something... calculated.

    In today's episode, I share about an ongoing blood sugar experiment that honestly, has had me terrified every time I ran it because of how dangerous it was.

    But... and I don't want to give away the big surprise that I share in this episode... but, I figured it out and the experiment finally WORKED

    If you've ever tried to experiment with blood sugars (or wanted to) and run into challenges or difficulty, I also walk through my exact process for experimenting with chaotic blood sugars - safely.

    I think you'll like this one, enjoy.

  • Whether you've got ADHD like me or not, T1D is often too much to keep track of while living your life...

    And when we overlook blood sugar variables, they tend to "remind" us that they are worth paying attention to.

    Case and point - insulin on board and running errands (or doing chores) can often lead to a big drop for me.

    In today's episode I breakdown my recent "ah-ha" moment with this while out on an 85 mile bike ride and 20 mile run (it was a LONG Ironman training day), with a lesson that you might find helps to simplify diabetes and demystify those frustrating "sneak attack" blood sugars.

  • While parenting my * almost * 3 year old (wow, time flies), I said something to her that "clicked" in my head as a golden nugget for type 1 diabetes management...

    I realized that it's what I've been unknowingly been using for YEARS to guarantee my own success, and that of my private clients...

    And so I thought I'd share this with you.

    I found a way to guarantee progress while simplifying the motivation we need to keep pushing on in the face of adversity.

    There's a few gems, a few jokes, and you're not going to want to miss this one.

  • I finished my second Ironman 70.3 and it was NOT pretty...

    diabetes devices failed, blood sugars were a disaster, body was shutting down...

    But I learned something pivotal about what we experience as diabetics that we were misled by our doctors that I think will be beneficial to consider for any T1D looking to raise their standards of control (and overcome challenges easier).

  • There's one "risk factor" that stands out above the rest, and the truth is...

    We're ALL unaware of the full impact.

    In today's episode, I break down 3 different examples of how this risk factor might be destroying your life (as it was MINE)...

    And of course, as always - what you can do about it.

  • It's true - I've been having a hard time keeping up with blood sugars and Ironman training while trying to live a 'normal' life...

    And I hit a pivotal moment last week that had me second-guessing my ENTIRE exercise strategy.

    Ultimately, I ended up going LOW and facing some fears head on, but the lesson learned was incredibly valuable for my control with blood sugars AND quality of life moving forward.

    You don't want to miss this one, and while the story is a little scary, I promise there's a happy ending and some golden nugget knowledge along the way for you.

  • There's more than one "hard truth" with type 1 diabetes, but in today's episode I share one of the few that you can actually change in your diabetes management to make it easier...

    With my private clients, I like to start most of them off with "quick wins" before we jump into the personalized, more detailed stuff...

    Today's episode covers one of those 'quick wins' that you can do without even talking to me or working with me...

    And it's probably the simplest, most overlooked strategy in type 1 diabetes.

    Listen in, USE IT, and change your life forever.

    In all truth - it's actually the MAIN thing I used that took me from out of control and frustrated all the way to stable blood sugars and happiness.

  • Is diabetes a disability? Some say yes, some say no...

    In today's episode I discuss an interesting debate I had with a client, my thoughts on disability passes for diabetics, and a shocking shift in mindset that may have changed the entire outcome of my life (as a result of my diabetes diagnosis).

    Bonus: I also do actually talk about how to manipulate the 'system' to benefit your blood sugars, you're not going to want to miss this one!

  • On a private T1D coaching call with my highest level clients, we were discussing the 'secondary impacts' of using a smart insulin pump and other "new" methods for managing blood sugars...

    And how they actually don't work as intended.

    In fact, all these fancy new T1D devices that we use, might actually be making your blood sugars HARDER to manage.

    I shared a few clips from the coaching call and dove a bit deeper in today's episode..

    Guarantee this'll spark some ideas for ya (and hopefully help you avoid this frustrating experience discussed).

  • You've heard (or lived) the experiences - roller coaster blood sugars, scary hospital visits, mystery and frustration while feeling like there's nobody coming to help us with our blood sugars...

    In today's episode, I had the chance to sit down with one of my current T1D clients, Kelli, as she shares her incredible journey from erratic numbers to confidence and understanding of her blood sugars.

    It wasn't an easy road, but the lessons shared in today's podcast are some that can only be learned from experience (or by learning from the experience of others when you tune in).

    I'm SO proud of Kelli and all she's battled through, and it's so exciting to see how she's implemented everything that she shares in today's breakdown episode.

  • What if our blood sugars... were misleading us with their patterns?

    What if there was a better way to know exactly where they would end up (especially if spiking or plummeting)?

    What if there were a way to identify and interpret exactly what our blood sugars were trying to tell us?

    In today's episode (that definitely isn't medical advice), I share an example of when I choose NOT to treat an oncoming urgent low...

    What happened as a result (YIKES)...

    And how I used blood sugar formulas to "push" blood sugars exactly where I wanted them to go after a scary moment.

    You're not going to want to miss this one as we continue on with last week's episode on the "law of exchange".

  • Exactly 1 year ago, I called 9-1-1 for a low blood sugar...

    Last week - I ran into the exact same scenario, but ran into an unexpected turn of events.

    I'll be transparent, this one shook my confidence a bit for the rest of the day...

    And the scariest part - it could happen to ANY of us (yup, you too) at any moment.

    I made no "obvious" mistake, but it's one that could have ended my life as my blood sugars PLUMMETED 30+ points down with each 5 minute CGM update towards an urgent low...

    WITH a massive dose of insulin that was given only minutes before.

    In this episode I share something that I've been teaching my clients for years, a piece of the 80/20 blood sugar formula that I used to avoid a trip to the hospital in this situation...

    "The Law of Exchange"

    Tune in today to hear about my terrifying experience, learn how to spot (and fix) this mistake in your own life, and pass along the knowledge to save a life.
