From Rebellious to Transformative: Alex’s Journey with Type 1 Diabetes

  • サマリー

  • Alex Burket believes that his bout with bacterial meningitis in middle school may have saved his life, because it led to the discovery of his type 1 diabetes. Although meningitis resolved in about a month, diabetes would become a constant companion. 17 years later, Alex has learned a tremendous amount about living with this disease, in a journey that has gone from rebellious to transformative. Alex is the host of the Rise to the Challenge podcast, where he speaks with athletes, CEOs, entrepreneurs, recovering addicts and more, sharing stories of overcoming obstacles. Facing challenges is Alex's passion, he enjoys pushing himself out of his comfort zone to see what he can achieve. Doing so while balancing type 1 diabetes requires a level of discipline that Alex worked hard to cultivate. In this episode of the Major Pain podcast, Alex discusses his history with type 1 diabetes. We discuss what it was like to be diagnosed at such a young age, including the feeling of isolation this brought about. He talks us through his rebellious phase, where he pushed his body to the limit and fought against his diagnosis. He also discusses his transformation in the last 6 or 7 years, where a renewed focus on nutrition and fitness changed his body and mind for the better, developing the discipline to live harmoniously with his disease.
