ALL diabetics (yes, me included) struggle with one of two (or both) of these underlying causes of unnecessary suffering... The embarrassing part - I've been coaching others on how to fix this for YEARS, and only JUST noticed it in my own life. In a single day I was able to actually fix this problem, and when we uncover the issue in your own life - you might even be able to discover blood sugar freedom faster than I did. >> ENJOY!

What if it were possible to FIX blood sugars in less than a single day? Today's story that Zak shares with us highlights the incredible improvements that can be made when the right strategy (aka FORMULA) is implemented... With blood sugars going from completely wacky and unpredictable - to smooth, steady, and over 90% time in range... in the first DAY. You'll need to hear it to believe it because Zak shares the details of what worked for him, how it worked so fast, and a surprise that made me...
Imagine you've given WAY too much insulin and you're sure that this could end in a hospital trip... What do you do? The challenge arises - balance the insulin (and other factors that you'll hear about) to avoid a life-threatening LOW blood sugar... WHILE also not taking in too much and rebounding into a HIGH blood sugar... And to do so in a calculated manner with your 80/20 Blood Sugar Formula (without panicking). That's exactly what my client did in a story she shared with us in a private co...
I easily could have ended up in the hospital if I wasnt using blood sugar formulas over the weekend... Something WILD happened to my blood sugars recently, and when I realized that no doctor talks about this - I knew I needed to make an episode about it. If you've ever been slapped upside the head by a mysterious high or low blood sugar... It was probably due to THIS phenomenon. Can't wait to hear about what you get out of this one. >> ENJOY!

There's something in your food that can make or break your meal blood sugars... Too little - massive spike. Too much - delayed spike. Just the right amount - absolute perfection. This single shift in my eating habits fixed nearly all of my struggles many years ago... And today I break my silence to share it with you. Honestly, it's probably the #1 reason people experience "mystery" blood sugar ups and downs. Give it a listen if you want better blood sugars with meals WHILE also enjoying the m...
I used to wake up STUCK with higher numbers, even a 45 minute pre-bolus didn't seem to work... Until I made an important distinction (that I'll walk through the specifics of in this episode).

Let me be clear - I'm not perfect or immune to the negatives of type 1 diabetes (or life)... And I hit a wall, HARD. Burnout is real, it shows signs, and when those signs are ignored - it wreaks havoc. I recently experienced some far-reaching burnout that went so far as ending my 5.5 YEAR streak of staying consistently over 90% time in range... But it goes deeper than that and ended up impacting me emotionally, mentally, and even physically with sickness and injury. >> ENJOY! Grab yo...
Blood sugars are about MORE than just the food that enters your mouth... Turns out it's not just about glucose and numbers, but also about dental health and the impact on blood sugars! A few months ago, we had dental expert, Dr. Katie Lee, hop into our private community to teach on this exact topic... And she blew our minds. Long story short, we decided to share it with the public because it was just that impactful. I'm going through her book now, and when you listen to today's episode, ...
When I was first diagnosed, my doctor guessed at my insulin needs and said "let me know how it goes". In other words - even HE wasn't confident that it would work. Looking back, this ticks me off. Newly diagnosed diabetics like me being left to fend for themselves with a "best guess" approach to T1D management. In a recent conversation with my private clients - the topic of "calculating total daily insulin with precision" came up, alongside what a "healthy" amount of insulin looks like as...
Ever wonder how "good" life can get with T1D? In today's episode, I pulled one of my current clients aside who was able to use the 80/20 blood sugar formula to FLIP his world upside down (though, I suppose "right-side up" is more accurate)... He went from frustrated and confused with blood sugars that would just NOT cooperate...f To in control and FREE, where even during a week of absolute CHAOS, he was able to maintain 89% time in range, nearly effortlessly (because of the blood sugar for...
If you've ever struggled to lose fat with T1D, you're not alone. The reality is that losing weight with diabetes is actually harder, and often overlooked. Here's the reason - if your blood sugars aren't working for you, they're working against you. Low blood sugars mean consuming extra calories that you didn't even want... High blood sugars mean your body can't function or recover optimally... Blood sugars that bounce up and down stress out your system and damage your blood vessels... A...

As well as the ONE habit I changed to get everything back on track for a 100% time in range blood sugar day. >> ENJOY!

In my most vulnerable episode EVER (I teared up a little), I share what was one of the riskiest moves I've made with T1D... I finished possibly my last ever Ironman event (though, who knows) with a few different stories to tell... One, as an athlete, that broke a previous PR by an HOUR... Another, as a type 1 diabetic, that nearly had to quit the race from a SCARY low... And lastly, as a human, facing trauma, immense challenges, and breaking through physical limitations. It's packe...
Other times, it's just nice to have different options to manipulate blood sugars... That's right, I said manipulate blood sugars.

I spill ALL the secrets on this one with: weight lossinsulin resistanceblood sugar manipulationand MORE!Check it out if you're ready to "think differently" about your diabetes management 😉 >> LISTE...
My LEAST favorite way to learn - the HARD way. Unfortunately I had a pretty rough go recently that left me in a not so good place mentally... And the lesson that I learned actually was discovered by my wife, Lisa. We were on vacation in Hawaii a few weeks ago and things were not exactly "peachy" with my blood sugars... I tried my best to hide it so that it didn't impact the family, but after a few days of extreme difficulty.... They started to notice. The last thing I wanted was to be...
I recently shared some extremely vulnerable information during my book launch event that shook some attendees... I opened up about some of my past, some of my "behind the scenes" challenges, and even some of my private life during the interview. And while it was initially only meant for that core group of Renegade Warriors that were LIVE with me on the book launch event... Many of them reached out after and thanked me for opening up about some pretty dark experiences I've been through and ...

Completing an Ironman with type 1 diabetes was... challenging to say the least. In fact, there were a few occassions where if an aggressive decision I made went differently... I might not have finished the race at all. In today's episode - by popular demand, I walk through, step by step, moment by moment - every blood sugar, insulin decision, and strategy I used in order to complete 140.6 miles of endurance triathlon in what I can now say was the hardest day of my life.
