Speaking Topics: Learn more Care of the Caregiver Communication Partnership for Patients Patient and Family Involvement Patient Experience Quality and Patient Safety Target Audience: Learn more Medical Students Nursing Leadership Nursing Staff Patient Advocates Patients Physicians Providers Suppliers Offering: Learn more For health care professionals, I will help you understand what your patients are looking for, while being both a patient and a health care professional myself. Trained and intuitively successful in motivating, inspiring, and empowering my clients (especially people living with diabetes), I aim to help more doctors, nurse practitioners, and diabetes educators understand the life of a diabetic and how it mixes with the requests from that diabetic's medical team. I give you insight on the world of diabetes in everything from emotional eating and thinking around food, to the overwhelming task of simply taking medications and checking blood sugar. For patients, I speak truly on the life of a chronic illness. Having lived with both type 1 diabetes and celiac disease since 1999, I understand how a chronic illness can weigh on your shoulders, your spirit, and your thoughts every day. My speciality in communicating with others living with diabetes is an ability to take very serious or emotional draining aspects of this disease, and speak on them in a way that makes you laugh and cry, while leaving you feeling empowered, understood and no longer alone. Author of "Your Diabetes Science Experiment" -- I am known in the diabetes online community for my expertise in balancing blood sugars around all different types of exercise. My upcoming book, "Emotional Eating with Diabetes" includes my step-by-step guide to changing your relationship with food in a life with diabetes.

Biography: Learn more

I've lived with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease after diagnosing myself in the 7th grade during 1999. Today, I am a cognitive wellness coach, a certified personal trainer, certified Ashtanga yoga instructor and well-known video blogger in the diabetes online community. I advocate and speak on behalf of the patient community, educating and inspiring healthcare professionals on how to communicate more effectively and deeply with their patients. For people living with diabetes, I work to be a source of inspiration, motivation, and empathetic understanding, putting into words the many parts of their life with diabetes that they haven't been able to express.

Author of two books: "Your Diabetes Science Experiment" and "Emotional Eating with Diabetes."

With a niche in the diabetes online community as an expert in fitness and exercise, I set 15 records in drug-tested powerlifting with record lifts of 308 lb. deadlift, 190 lb. bench press, and 265 lb. squat in 2009 and 2010.
