Reclaim Your Rise
with Lauren Bongiorno

Today on the podcast we have a very special guest: entrepreneur and personal trainer Jay Maryniak! Jay is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict who got sober back in 2005. Fitness was one of the things that helped save Jay and put his life in a positive direction. He was diagnosed with T1D as an adult at the age of 28 but didn’t let that stop him from continuing to challenge himself and help other people. Jay is the founder of JTM FIT INC. His online training programs have helped thousands of people all over the world make incredible physical and mental transformations. Follow Jay on Instagram HERE. In today's episode, we discuss… How to crowd out the noise and zone in on what works best for you with exercise and nutrition How blood sugar control is the foundation of physique changes for people with T1D How shifting your mindset from “I’ll try” to “I will” is the first step for making a change How to improve your relationship with perfectionism as a T1D How our daily decisions determine who we are and who we become We are now enrolling for our Spring 2023 Decide and Conquer Group Coaching Program .

Today we are talking about one of my favorite educational topics, the menstrual cycle and its impact on type one diabetes. Female hormonal fluctuations have a huge impact on insulin sensitivity, but most menstruators are not directly taught this about T1D. In this episode, I’ll discuss: The main differences in women and men’s hormonal makeup and the impact that has on diabetes management.  The system I created for myself that has also served as a blueprint for supporting our clients at Risely to understand menstrual cycle and blood sugar connections. The top five things you need to learn to start figuring out how your hormonal patterns are showing up in your diabetes management.  PSA! This episode will not cover PCOS, perimenopause, or menopause. I wanted to keep this episode really central and focused on base-level foundational menstrual information. We are now enrolling for our Spring  2023 Decide and Conquer Group Coaching Program .

I’m so excited for you to listen to today’s episode with my friend Bridget Ruter! Bridget works in healthcare as a Registered Nurse. She’s 27 years old and was diagnosed with type one at the age of six. Bridget is a graduate of Risley's Spring 2022 Decide and Conquer Group Coaching Program. This past year, she's completely shifted her mindset and relationship with diabetes from a place of isolation and frustration to community and acceptance. Before the DCB, Bridget had never been below a 6.8 A1C. Three months after, she lowered it to a 6.2, and now nine months later, she's below a 6.0 with 90%+ time in range! In today's episode, we go beneath these numbers and discuss... What was holding Bridget back from authentic transformation with her diabetes How she let go of hiding her diabetes from the world and started prioritizing herself  How Bridget found her correct rates and ratios  What it was like to re-learn the “basics” of T1D as a nurse We are now enrolling for our Spring  2023 Decide and Conquer Group Coaching Program .
