Elisabeth taught me that a lot of small things make a big difference, and that brought me more peace. I used to cry every time I went to the endocrinologist because of the secret turmoil inside me. I do CrossFit and have set record PRs in the last month, and it was because of the nutrition + T1D management I learned from Elisabeth!
Elisabeth listened to the whole problem and not just data like blood sugars, but what was affecting those numbers. I learned how certain proteins and fats affect blood sugar and began anticipating instead of reacting to my BGs. Definitely do this because you learn so much that the endocrinologist doesn't tell you.
It's worth it! The ability to talk to Elisabeth, who has gone through similar experiences and can empathize, is unmatched. Your approach is not strictly numbers-based. She focused on personalized, sustainable ways to better manage T1D and address all the outside factors that play a role, like sleep, stress, etc.
I was able to speak with someone who has lived similar experiences with T1D and felt seen, heard, and validated. Elisabeth listened, helped set attainable goals and made me appreciate the small wins. I have already shared with my Endo team about my Risely experience and encouraged a fellow T1D to explore opportunities with Risely.
