Today, I am joined by two incredible leaders from the Diabetes Sports Project (DSP): Dr. Joe Henske and Lauren Adams.

Dr. Henske is a clinical endocrinologist, researcher, and Director of the Diabetes Program at the University of Arkansas, Medical Sciences. Having completed 15 marathons, he is currently leading a groundbreaking study on T1D athletes competing in the Boston Marathon.

Joining him is Lauren Adams, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with nearly two decades of experience blending clinical expertise with a passion for community advocacy– having completed 12 marathons.

As ambassadors for the Diabetes Sports Project, Joe and Lauren work to empower the millions affected by diabetes, proving through elite competition that proper management and a positive outlook make any dream achievable.

We dive into the intersection of high-level athletics and diabetes technology. We discuss Dr. Henske’s latest research on marathoners, Lauren’s insights on nutritional victory, and how they are both working to provide the roadmap for the next generation of T1D athletes to perform at the highest levels of sport.

Today, I speak with Na Eun "Jiggy" Yoon. Jiggy is a Type 1 Mental Health Motivational Speaker, Leadership & Mindset Coach, combat sports athlete, and founder of both Asians Grieving and Vulnerability Is Dope.

As a Queens-raised Queer Asian immigrant woman, Jiggy empowers our youth, students, athletes, and professionals to achieve sustainable excellence through strategic mental health and resilience.

Our conversation hits on key points of mental health with T1D, and for those diagnosed beyond pediatrics, we discuss our mental health leading up to diagnosis. As an athlete and an advocate, Jiggy is passionate about using her story of overcoming adversity to help others who are going through similar situations.

Today, I speak with T1D Ultra Endurance Athlete, Don Muchow. Don holds the record for the fastest documented run across Texas. In 2021, he accomplished a first-ever run from Disneyland to Disney World. And most recently, he completed the equivalent of 10 consecutive Ironmans in 3 weeks. All of this and more, while managing Type 1 Diabetes.
