133: If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by food and t1d, this is for you
Episode 133
About This Episode
T1D has a sneaky way of turning food into a full-time job.😬
It’s not just what to eat... it’s:
– Finding a healthy meal your whole family will actually eat– Shopping for the ingredients– Cooking the damn thing– Carb counting it — accurately– And then trying to figure out how to bolus for it so you don’t go high or crash low afterward🤷🏼♀️ (I.E. "this looks like 3u...."
For many of us, it’s so much mental and physical energy that skipping meals can feel easier than eating.
Or we default to the same 3 “safe” meals on repeat — not because we love them, or they're giving us the nutrition we need, but because they’re predictable and easy.
So in this episode, I go over:💡 Why food feels so overwhelming when you're managing T1D💡 The often invisible cognitive load behind meal decisions💡 Why generic recipes don’t cut it for people with T1D💡 And how the THR1VE recipe database takes care of the thinking for you. With carb counts, macro breakdowns, and bolus tips you can actually trust
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, parenting a T1D child, or just feeling burnt out around food this one’s here to remind you there's an easier way.
