EP 102: How to Add Carbs Back Into Your Diet with Type 1 Diabetes
In this podcast episode, we dive into one of the most controversial topics in the diabetes community - carbs. If you've been following along, you know I'm all about those carbs. However, I also believe that there's no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to nutrition. Carbs were a significant part of my upbringing and athletic lifestyle, but when I was diagnosed with diabetes at 19, all I heard was how to avoid carbs.
This episode is for those of you who, like me, want to discuss how to reintroduce carbs into your diet. We'll tackle the mental and emotional challenges that can arise when you're told to avoid something that was once a big part of your life. If you are eager to reintroduce carbs back into your life with diabetes, this conversation is for you. Let's break down the barriers and explore how carbs can fit into your diabetes journey.

EP 94: The Power of Annual Blood Tests: What Tests You Need & How Often with Amanda Ciprich MS RD
Regular checkups are an important part of caring for your diabetes for several reasons. The biggest reason is that things change over time, and your healthcare provider can help you adjust when they do. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you’re at an increased risk of other serious health conditions, including heart and kidney disease and other autoimmune conditions so it is important to stay up-to-date with your health screenings.

Let's play a quick game of 'put your finger down'..
Put a finger down if you've ever looked at your nutrition, exercise or lifestyle habits and said "I just need to ___"
Put a finger down if when we mention the word "health", you automatically think of "nutrition and exercise"
Put a finger down if you've heard the saying "doing something for 21 days creates a habit", you've tried that, and it failed...
How many fingers do you have left up?
Inside this episode we have Kelsie Jene.

EP 76: Four Morning Habits I Live By for Predictable Blood Sugars
Ever hear the saying, "Diabetes thrives off of routine"? So you try to wake up at the same time, eat the same breakfast and take the same bolus - but lo and behold, your blood sugars don't respond the same? I've said it before and I'll say it again, you CAN have flexibility in your day while having structure (and predictable blood sugars to go along with it).
Four hours of your morning is 16% of your day - imagine adding that onto your current time in range! Inside this episode, I'm walking you behind the scenes of my own morning routine and how I add in four hours of predictable blood sugars to start my day off strong, without restriction or limitation. And yes, even if you work crazy hours or have a changing schedule, this is for you!
