  • 1.5 years in: What no one tells you about running a virtual nutrition practice (solo episode)
    Jul 23 2025

    In this solo episode, Jessica shares what it’s really been like running Diabetes Digital for the past 1.5 years. She reflects on the journey from two dietitians to a growing team of 11 (with 3 more onboarding), over 6,000 visits completed, and 80+ referring providers.

    She breaks down the behind-the-scenes work that no one sees—like managing insurance credentialing, paying $5K a month in software, and leading a team that now includes a tech coordinator, two full-time admin staff, a web developer, and a full SEO and Google Ads team. She also talks about the launch of group visits, Jenny’s new role as Outreach Manager, Nikki’s promotion to Clinical Manager, and the company’s first retreat in Palm Springs.

    Jessica walks through what a typical day looks like for her and Wendy, why their goal is to break even this year, and the financial realities of building a mission-driven company that centers weight-inclusive, culturally relevant care. She shares what’s next—including plans to grow to 20 RDs, launch more community classes, and continue expanding referral and employer partnerships.

  • Understanding HRT: A guide for women navigating midlife changes
    Jul 9 2025

    Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the most misunderstood tools in women’s health, and for many, the stigma and confusion around it can delay care that could be life changing.

    In this episode, Jess and Wendy sit down with Dr. Sophia Lubin, a board certified OB GYN and women’s health advocate, to break down what HRT actually is, who it can help, and how it supports insulin sensitivity during perimenopause and beyond.

    They also explore why so many women, especially women of color, are dismissed when they bring up symptoms like fatigue, weight shifts, or irregular periods, and how to advocate for the support you deserve.

    Whether you’re curious about HRT, navigating midlife changes, or wondering why your blood sugar has suddenly shifted, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and practical insights for your hormonal health journey.
