Today, we're joined by the inspiring T1D fitness trainer, Leanna Buchina. Diagnosed at the age of five, in 1984, and now living with T1D for over 40 years, Leanna once navigated a world with less technology, leading to inconvenient methods of T1D management. Leanna found freedom years later through the discipline of fitness and weightlifting, transforming her journey from a life of rigid rules to one of empowered, calculated control.

Today, I sit down with T1D Runner, Christopher Roome. Chris is an endurance athlete and personal trainer who’s on a mission to help others with T1D break through limiting self-beliefs. Chris has run marathons, backpacked across Washington State and California, completed a Spartan Trifecta, dogsledded in the Arctic Circle, and recently accomplished a 50-mile ultra marathon — all while managing his blood sugar like a pro.

He leads a growing community of adults with T1D, hosts in-person meetups, writes a T1D Spotlight newsletter called Type-1 Trailblazers, and is currently building an adventure travel company specifically tailored for T1Ds — creating epic, bucket-list experiences with built-in medical and emotional support.

Chris is all about proving that diabetes doesn’t have to hold you back — it can actually be the reason you go further.

Today, I sit down with United Airlines Pilot John Roth. John is a commercial pilot who was diagnosed with Type-1 Diabetes at the age of 37 . A testament to the power of applying discipline and self-sufficiency to his disease management, he lives by the philosophy that discipline leads to freedom. He uses technology and data to proactively manage his glucose levels, enabling him to pursue a demanding career as a pilot. John believes in inspiring others by demonstrating what's possible with a resilient mindset and effective T1D management.
