11/05/21 • 41 min
Pregnancy, type 1 diabetes, and balancing blood sugars without restriction - can it be done??? Yes!!!!! Join Lemma Brown, RDN and I as we discuss how we can approach pregnancy without falling back into restrictive eating patterns. Lemma also shares her pregnancy journeys and what she learned along the way through the lens of a dietitian living with type 1 diabetes.

- What inspired Lemma to become a registered dietitian
- How her relationship with food has evolved since diagnosis to now
- Lemma's pregnancy experiences, and the differences between her first and second pregnancy
- The pitfalls of restriction and the value of understanding one's body, and how foods and insulin work within your body

- The importance of community in your diabetes journey and with pregnancy
More about Lemma:
Lemma Brown is a registered dietitian and person living with Type 1 Diabetes. Her diagnosis at age 19 inspired her to choose nutrition as her field of study in college because she realized almost immediately in her diagnosis how crucial how and what we eat can impact our blood sugar living with Type 1 Diabetes. She also knew that she wanted to support many others with Type 1 Diabetes and help them learn how to enjoy all foods without feeling deprived or restricted living with Type 1 Diabetes. This is why she started her virtual diabetes coaching practice about 1.5 years ago.

When the desire to be healthy becomes disordered: the emergence of toxic wellness culture and orthorexia in diabetes [replay] E.48
The Intuitive Diabetic Podcast: Intuitive Eating, Diabetes, Non Diet, HAES
01/28/22 • 18 min
The desire to be healthy is ubiquitous in our cultural climate, but especially so within the diabetes space. This need to pay even closer attention to health, because of diabetes can create more hyperconsciousness surrounding food choices and other associated health behaviours. Behaviours, that for some can turn into an obsession, leading to the development of disordered eating and eating disorders, including orthorexia.
Given the prominence of diet culture within our cultural climate, and given our increasing backlash in its weight focused messaging, it is no wonder that diet culture has learned to shape shift into a more outwardly acceptable pursuit - optimal health. A pursuit however, that still idealizes smaller bodies and demonizes food choices.
Although wellness culture is relatively new within mainstream dieting spaces, I'd argue undertones of this health movement have been ever present within diabetes care. And with its emergence into mainstream culture, the ways in which we as a diabetes community have come to view food and health have shape shifted with it.
Now not only are we concerned of making food choices to support our blood sugars, but also making food choices that support this idea of optimal health. Now an apple may no longer simply be an apple. Before we can eat it, we find ourselves needing to qualify - where it came from, how it is grown, and if it should be eaten alone to best support insulin sensitivity. We worry whether it will support our digestive and intestinal health. We question whether it is inflammatory and could contribute to additional autoimmune conditions etc etc etc etc...
Ultimately, we are creating a society of obsessed and stressed eaters - which ends up taking us further away from reaching and sustainably supporting that healthful existence we may have envisioned.
On this episode you'll learn:
- What is orthorexia
- How diet culture is shape shifting into wellness culture
- How living with diabetes can facilitate our transition into wellness culture
- The increased prevalence of orthorexia for those living with diabetes
- Steps you can take to move away from obsession and create more flexibility

What to do if carb counting is triggering a dieting mentality E.45
The Intuitive Diabetic Podcast: Intuitive Eating, Diabetes, Non Diet, HAES
12/17/21 • 21 min
Unlike the average intuitive eater who can stop counting, tracking, or measuring all food, those of us living with diabetes (especially those of us using insulin) don't have the same luxury of swearing off such measures, and as such, it can feel especially challenging to leave the dieting mindset behind. So what can we do? Let's talk about it!
By listening you'll learn:
- The challenge of separating carb counting from our dieting past
- Can carb counting be approached with more flexibility?
- The role of addressing mindset versus modifying your carb counting approach in dealing with the dieting mentality
- What I mean by creating emotionally neutral numbers
