Blood sugar might not be something you think about every day—but maybe it should be. In this episode, I sit down with Ben, a nutrition expert who also happens to live with type 1 diabetes. His lived experience and professional expertise combine to deliver practical wisdom we can all use—whether or not diabetes is part of your story. From the top three food habits for stable blood sugar, to the non-food habit he calls the “unsung hero,” Ben shows us how better blood sugar means better energy, better health, and better autoimmune resilience.

Key Takeaways:

• The top 3 nutrition habits that help balance blood sugar (diabetes or not!)
• The surprising non-food habit Ben calls the “unsung hero” of blood sugar control
• Why consistency and mindset matter just as much as carbs and protein
• The truth about type 1 vs. type 2 diabetes—and the myths that drive Ben crazy
• Why decision fatigue is real in chronic illness, and how to simplify with habits that stick
• How lifestyle and conventional medicine don’t have to compete—they can and do life each other up
