When Jodi Velasquez’s daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at just 19 months old, it changed everything. Instead of giving in to fear, Jodi became an investigator of health — tracking food, movement, and habits — and discovered life-changing truths about sugar, fast food, and the way we eat today.

In this powerful conversation with Kim Sorrell, Jodi shares the inspiring journey behind her award-winning book Know the Enemy: Preventing Weight Gain, Diabetes, and Disease. From practical tips like the ABCTs of health, the “Eat Half Rule,” and 45 non-tech games for kids, to shocking truths about sugar addiction and food culture, this episode is filled with wisdom you can use immediately.

✨ What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
