• Why “Good Numbers” Can Still Mislead (In Range ≠ Low Stress • Smooth > Perfect • Averages Lie)
    Dec 16 2025

    More control = 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 (not less).

    If you’ve ever had a “good A1C” but still felt exhausted, anxious, or off… this episode explains why.

    Your body doesn’t live in averages — it lives in moments.

    And smooth blood sugars change everything.

  • TV Interview Exclusive: The Blood Sugar Formula That Changed My Life (No More Guessing!)
    Dec 2 2025

    Every month feels like Diabetes Awareness Month when you’re living with type 1. For years, I was fighting blind—guessing, struggling, and trying to survive the highs and lows.

    That’s why I went on live TV to say what I wish someone had told me: you’re not broken, you just haven’t been shown your formula yet.

    If you’re tired of the chaos, or if someone you love has T1D, this interview will open your eyes to what life with type 1 really looks like—and what real freedom can feel like.

  • This Aired on TV: What Doctors Never Told Me About Diabetes
    Nov 25 2025

    Living with Type 1 diabetes isn’t just numbers and insulin for me—it’s the highs, lows, stress, and constant decisions behind every meal, workout, and night of sleep.

    In this interview, I share how I went from feeling controlled by my blood sugars to becoming an Ironman athlete and bestselling author by learning my own blood sugar formula—and how you can do the same.

  • How I Stopped Hating My Body | T1D, Image, and Self-Worth
    Nov 18 2025

    “I was told I’d be dead in 10 years.
    I stopped checking my sugars, stopped caring for myself, and felt embarrassed every time someone saw my devices.
    I didn’t trust my own body… and that was the hardest part.”

    In this episode, we unpack what it’s like to heal from that mindset:

    How diabetes affects your self-esteem, your identity, your relationships, and the way you see your body.

    And more importantly—how to flip the script and rebuild confidence from the inside out.

    If diabetes ever made you feel ‘less,’ this conversation is exactly what your heart needs today.
