Reclaim Your Rise: Type 1 Diabetes with Lauren Bongiorno
Lauren Bongiorno is a Nationally Board Certified Health Coach and the founder and CEO of Risely Health. Featured on the TODAY show and other media outlets, Risely helps people and families impacted by Type 1 Diabetes take ownership over their health so they can transform their life with more freedom and confidence. Lauren has lived with type 1 diabetes since she was 7 years old and has experienced firsthand that when health transforms, so does everything else - our relationships, our time, our career, our families, and, most importantly, ourselves. Each week she will bring you lessons from her own personal diabetes experience, strategies that are key to understanding your body’s patterns, and guests who will speak to everything from advances in technology to all things hormones, exercise, relationships, and mindset. All of this so that over time, you TOO can reclaim your rise.

50. How to Create Consistent Momentum When You’re Trying to Improve Your Diabetes with Helen Downham
We're doing something a little different for today's episode! Helen completed Risely’s A1C Shift Method self-paced course and reduced her average blood sugar from 216/12.0 to 180/10.0. She recently joined the January 2023 DCB group coaching and is in the middle of her coaching journey.
We discuss...
- How managing diabetes as a child influenced her decisions as an adult
- Going from ignoring her diabetes in her early 20's to getting a CGM and realizing her numbers weren't predictable
- Perfectionism versus having standards for yourself
- Shifting your focus to celebrating the small wins rather than beating yourself up when you don't see a goal number
