17. Unlearning perfectionism with T1D Dietician Bridget Wood
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Bridget Wood to discuss forming a healthy relationship with food as T1Ds. We dive into our own personal histories with food, struggles with perfectionism, and our relationship with food now.
Bridget is a licensed dietician, nutritionist, and CDCES based in Nevada who has been living with type one diabetes since she was a senior in high school.
In this episode, we talk about…
- Questioning our beliefs surrounding food and T1D
- Finding that fine line between having in-range blood sugars and preventing future complications not just on a physical level, but also on a mental level
- Chasing straight line CGM graph lines and if that is even attainable
- The importance of competent cultural care with type one diabetes and food
I am so excited to share this talk with Bridget because I feel that it’s important to hear from diabetes healthcare professionals who live with type one diabetes themselves.
