Why I Started the Empowering Health Podcast: Educating and Helping You Feel Confident in Managing Blood Sugars and Daily Life with Type 1 Diabetes

Why a Podcast?

You might be wondering—why a podcast? Well, it’s simple: I wanted to create something that would fit into your life, whether you’re in the car, at the gym, or tackling your to-do list. Because I get it - life with T1D is busssyyy. Podcasts are the perfect platform to get into the nitty-gritty details, talk through your challenges, and answer the questions that matter most - and get DEEP on topics when needed (something that I just can't do on instagram!) The episodes are easy to listen to whenever and wherever it works for you. You can listen on your walk, on your commute, or while you're cooking dinner. I want this podcast to be a resource that helps you manage your health and T1D on your own terms.

The Empowering Health Podcast: A podcast for people living with Type 1 Diabetes (or those who care for a type 1) who struggle with their weight, food relationship, blood sugars, and overall confidence.

What You'll Get Out of The Empowering Health Podcast:

I’m here to give you more than just quick tips or fluffy content. The Empowering Health Podcast is where we dive deep into the real challenges that come with managing Type 1 Diabetes and living a full life. If you’ve been struggling with your weight, your confidence, your blood sugar management, or just feeling lost, anxious or burnt out, this podcast is for you.

New episodes drop weekly, and you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or any other podcast listening app. If you subscribe, you'll automatically get new episodes straight to your app without doing a thing!

Here’s a taste of what we’ll cover:

• Real-World Tips for Managing T1D: I’ll walk you through practical strategies and tools that work in the real world. All of these tools and strategies are tried and tested by me and with my clients, and people living with type 1 diabetes all over the world!

• Building Confidence with T1D: If you’re feeling overwhelmed by T1D, you’re not alone. I’ll share tips on how to take back control and feel confident in the decisions you’re making for your blood sugars, your diet, your exercise habits, sleep and more.

• Creating Sustainable Habits: I’m all about helping you create habits that stick, so all of the hard work you're putting in - doesn't get wasted! Whether it’s fitness, food, blood sugars or mindset, I’ll show you how to make lasting changes.

• Navigating the T1D Roller Coaster: Managing highs and lows is never fun, but I’m going to show you how to avoid the highs and lows as much as possible and how to handle highs and lows when things don’t go as planned. T1D doesn’t have to dictate your life, and I’m here to help you feel like you're back in the drivers seat.

This is a Two-Way Street

This podcast isn’t just about me talking to you—it’s about building a community. I want to hear from you, and the podcast includes a Q&A segment where I answer your burning questions in future episodes.

Some questions I've answered on the podcast already, include:

• "How do I bolus for multiple meals/snacks close together?"

• "How to cope with feeling ravenous when low?"

• "Can you tell us how you keep all of your type 1 diabetes stuff organised? Mine is everywhere and it stresses me out!"

• "Should you eat/ take insulin before working out? Does taking insulin before working out affect weight loss results?"

• "Is it best to hang on to injections as long as you can, or go straight to an insulin pump?"

• "What should my goal be for target range and time in range, to have superhero blood sugars?"

• "What’s the deal with hypos and sickness? Why am I low but have ketones with gastro?!"

• "What is the difference between glucose and other hypo treatments?"

• "Do I need to prebolus? And how long should it be?"

• "How do I bolus for coffee?"

• "What should my expectations be of a child with type 1? Can we have no daily lows/highs?"

• "Is carb counting actually necessary? Can you share your tips to make carb counting easier?"

• "How should I be looking after my skin with T1D? I’m talking dry skin, bruises, scabs, lumps and wounds.."

• "Do you have any info on weight loss whilst trying to not dip low?"

• "What do I need to know about going from MDI to a pump?"

• "Should I keep working out even when I'm sick?"

• "I am worried about drinking alcohol because I always tend to go low. Is there anything I can do?"

And sooooo many more!
