• I Broke My Body Trying to Be a Good Dad With Diabetes
    May 13 2025

    This was a hard episode to make...

    Not emotionally... but physically. I legitimately ended up in the hospital yesterday and (funny story) - it was my fault.


    With diabetes, SO many of us are taught restriction, constraints, survival...


    But in today's episode I break down how that's actually wrong, backwards thinking - and what you should be doing instead.


    I hope you enjoy, and drop a comment on the video if you've ever been guilty of something similar

  • Low Blood Sugars Every Week? Here’s What Your Body’s Really Telling You
    May 6 2025

    Low blood sugars SUCK. But they're also trying to teach you something critical...

    Here's the thing - as someone who used to have multiple lows DAILY, to now having only a few lows a YEAR...

    I can tell you that you don't have to settle for "that's just how diabetes is".

    In fact, if you learn this lesson that your body is TRYING to tell you with these lows...

    You just may find yourself in a similar position where lows are so rare, you actually get to enjoy more of life in the moment again (without the worry of blood sugar crashes).

    Tune in today to hear about what led to me having a low-filled-week last week, what I did to fix it, and how to listen to your body to avoid lows before they happen.

  • How I Beat Anxiety, Lows, and Became an Ironman with Type 1 Diabetes
    Apr 29 2025

    It's no secret - I HATE lows. But did you know that I still struggle with low-level anxiety that refuses to leave my mind?

    It's true, and it's something that I work on (and am challenged by) DAILY.

    The good news is that it's getting better with years of work.

    I used to be scared to leave the house (seriously)...

    Now, well... now I'm an Ironman (somehow)

    In today's episode I share a question that I got when speaking on stage over the weekend at a type 1 diabetes event...

    "How do we beat anxiety with T1D?"

    My answer may shock you, but it's what worked for me and countless others.

    Hope you enjoy, I poured my heart into this one

  • The #1 Mistake I Made With Type 1 Diabetes
    Apr 22 2025

    Insulin is a TRICKY variable...

    Too much, you die.

    Too little, you die (eventually).

    Just right - you're good... for now.

    And the trickiest part?

    The amount needed can change day to day.

    In today's episode I share a story from a time when I didn't know how to identify those differences day to day...

    And it nearly killed me.

    Learn from my mistakes- and avoid them if at all possible.

    A scary lesson that I hope you never have to learn the hard way, like I did.

  • What If Diabetes Was Your Superpower? (It Can Be)
    Apr 15 2025

    Diabetes doesn't have to be hard. I said what I said.

    Doesn't mean it doesn't suck sometimes, but so many T1D's I talk to are missing a critical piece...

    A piece that makes diabetes feel more... manageable.

    I'm not talking about "take your insulin earlier" or "count your carbs"...

    No, believe it or not it's something much simpler...

    And yet also even more impactful.

    In today's episode, I decided to share a clip from a mindset coaching call I did in our private community - because I know it holds the secret to lasting success with something like diabetes that has no true "finish line".

    Listen in and let me know what stood out to you.

  • Riding 100 Miles With T1D: How To Adapt When The Road Gets Tough
    Apr 8 2025

    Believe it or not, there were CHALLENGES with my 100-Mile race...

    Challenges, in my opinion, are opportunities for growth.

    That being said, they aren't always the most FUN to break through.

    During my ride I learned a few blood sugar lessons that actually apply across the board to all T1Ds - even if you're not an ultra- endurance athlete like me.

    More importantly, it may even save your life to know what to watch out for.

  • Not All Exercise is Good for Diabetes – Here's What to Avoid
    Apr 1 2025

    The rules are different with type 1 diabetes... the stuff that's "healthy" for the general population just doesn't always translate perfectly to life with type 1 diabetes.


    The challenge - which ones are still healthy, which ones are dangerous?
    YOU get to decide after hearing this week's breakdown of blood sugars with a dangerous realization...


    And narrowly avoiding another hospital trip.
