Reclaim Your Rise
with Lauren Bongiorno

In this week’s episode I’m joined by Decide and Conquer Bootcamp January 2022 graduate Cristiana Silva. Cristiana is 29 years old and has lived with type one diabetes for 18 years. Before Cristiana joined the DCB, she had a debilitating fear of lows. This fear created intense anxiety that not only impacted her relationships but also detracted from her overall quality of life. We discuss her transformation along with… Her process of increasing her time in range from below 50% to 70%  The moment that pushed her over the edge and started her journey to reclaim confidence and empowerment with her T1D The mindset shift that helped her tackle her anxiety in a sustainable way  If you have a fear of lows, this episode is going to resonate with you!

In this week’s episode, I sat down with Dr. Sandra Sobel, our first ever doctor on the show! Dr. Sandra Indacochea Sobel is an Endocrinologist with additional board certifications in Lifestyle Medicine and Obesity Medicine. Dr. Sobel's clinical interests are in conditions of insulin resistance, including type one and type two diabetes management, obesity management, metabolic syndrome, and pre-diabetes. She is passionate about women's health, including the management of diabetes during pregnancy, PCOS, and menopause. Dr. Sobel is also the CEO of Summon Health, a direct endocrine clinic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, focused on personalized and comprehensive medical delivery of metabolic health conditions. Dr. Sobel founded Summon Health after recognizing the consistent need to spend more time with patients during visits to not only review labs and prescribe medicines, but to cover important and personalized lifestyle interventions for maximizing health. In this episode we discuss… The main challenges that Dr. Sobel has witnessed with the diabetes healthcare model that directly prevent people with T1D from getting the outcomes they desire Ways to overcome those healthcare challenges and potentially change the outcomes  The impact that nutrition, sleep, stress, and exercise all play in your blood sugar patterns We also talk about PCOS, hormones, and so much more.

The topic of today’s episode really lights me up. It’s not just talking about A1C in general that lights me up but more so diving into the tangible steps to focus on at every level. Here’s the thing: Everyone has their unique, personal journey with diabetes, AND… in the past 7 years of working with T1Ds, I’ve learned that many of us have similar experiences and challenges while trying to lower our A1Cs. So, in this episode we're going to discuss exactly where your focus needs to be based on your current A1C and break down the tangible next steps you need to take to achieve your goal. BONUS! Two exciting opportunities we have going on this week: This Saturday, July 23, 2022, we are having a FREE, in-person T1D meetup in NYC. If you're in the tri-state area, come spend some time with me and other T1Ds! RSVP HERE Last week we held our A1C Shift and Insulin Sensitivity Masterclass. Over 1,000 people have registered so far. We are offering it again Wednesday, July 20th at 8pm EST and Thursday, July 21st at 12pm EST. Save your (free) seat HERE .  Hit the subscribe button and rate and review to help this podcast rise!
