83. The Truth About Weight Loss and T1D
In today’s episode, we're having an open conversation about body image and weight loss goals for people living with type one diabetes. I do want to give a trigger warning that I do talk about dieting and body recomposition. So please skip this if you are not in a good place to explore these topics.
Time Stamps:
- (15:00) What body neutrality is and why I believe it’s important to reframe the body positivity movement
- (22:00) How to shift the focus away from aesthetics and weight and onto your overall health and blood sugars
- (31:00) Why taking insulin for the food that you need to fuel your body is not something to fear.
