If you’ve ever done the same thing two days in a row and gotten completely different blood sugar results, this is for you. That “randomness” isn’t failure—it’s missing context. I break down why blood sugar feels unpredictable and how understanding timelines can reduce burnout and anxiety with diabetes. >> ENJOY!

What if the reason your blood sugars aren’t improving… isn’t carbs, insulin, or bad luck? What if it’s because you’ve been reacting instead of taking control? This might be uncomfortable to hear—but it matters. I used to make excuses too. Until I stopped. Now I’ve been 99% time in range for 6 months, dropped my A1C to 5.7, and barely deal with lows. Not by restricting my life— But by getting proactive instead of reactive. Most people are taught how to respond to blood sugars. Almost no on...
Let me ask you something Have you ever: • gone low during or after a workout • panic-eaten to survive • rebounded high • corrected • then wondered why weight loss feels impossible? That’s not lack of discipline. That’s physiology. In my newest video, I explain why traditional weight loss advice fails for Type 1 diabetics — and what actually has to change for fat loss to become calm, predictable, and sustainable >> ENJOY!

I don’t want perfect blood sugars. After nearly two weeks of 100% Time in Range, I realized something surprising: Perfection costs peace. At 99%, I had freedom. At 100%, I was walking on eggshells. Mastery isn’t about obsessing over numbers — it’s about control that gives you your life back. If you’re a high-performer with T1D who’s exhausted by “doing everything right,” this one’s for you. >> ENJOY! Join The Tribe: https://thewarriorstribe.com Purchase your cop...
I wasn’t exercising… but my blood sugar was dropping. Cold weather. Stress. Shivering. And a lesson I didn’t expect to learn. Last weekend, I sang in a church choir for the first time — in front of 2,800 people — and my blood sugar behaved in a way that completely surprised me. I did everything “right,” yet my numbers kept falling. Instead of panicking, I stayed curious… and what I discovered changed how I think about stress, cold exposure, and blood sugar management forever. This...
More control = 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 (not less). If you’ve ever had a “good A1C” but still felt exhausted, anxious, or off… this episode explains why. Your body doesn’t live in averages — it lives in moments. And smooth blood sugars change everything. >> ENJOY!

Ever watch your CGM climb and think, “I did EVERYTHING right… why is it still spiking?” Same. And what I learned shocked me. Your A1C doesn’t tell the whole story — your blood vessels do.

If you’re tired of the chaos, or if someone you love has T1D, this interview will open your eyes to what life with type 1 really looks like—and what real freedom can feel like. >...
