Today, I am excited to talk with T1D weightlifter, Amanda Mueller. A T1D for almost 18 years, Amanda is a certified personal trainer and nutritionist on top of being an accountant. She now runs an education platform and social media account called Bolus & Biceps. Bolus & Biceps empowers T1D athletes, fitness (specifically in women), and the combination of T1D females focused on overall nutrition and health, by cultivating a community and spreading information on how to best optimize insulin management for desired lifestyle results.

Our conversation dives into Amanda’s mission and what she does to stay fit while living with Type-1 Diabetes. You will learn a lot of actionable items from her like specific management during weightlifting routines as a female T1D athlete. I am grateful for what I learned while talking with Amanda, and my hope is that you will learn a lot from her too.

On today's episode, I'm thrilled to speak with Shawn Wicks, also known as The Diabetic Fighter. Shawn is a nutrition coach with over eight years of experience helping diabetics take control of their blood sugar and improve their quality of life. He primarily works with Type-1 Diabetics and athletes, but also helps Type-2s who are ready to make serious changes.

His journey into this field is personal - he was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 29. As a former Muay Thai kickboxer, he understood the importance of fueling his body for performance, but T1D added a whole new layer of complexity. Rather than letting it hold him back, he dedicated himself to learning how to optimize blood sugar management, nutrition, and training, and now he helps others do the same.

Our conversation stretches over a wide variety, from Shawn’s personal story with T1D to actionable items you can learn from to help you find your therapy baseline. You will find our conversation insightful and empowering.

Today on the T1Determined Podcast, I dive into my personal story of climbing Mt. Washington in New Hampshire alone in the heart of winter conditions, experiencing minus 40 degrees, which is the temperature point where Farenheight and Celsius are interchangeable. I read this story in the style of an audiobook, and though it has been over four years since I’ve accomplished this climb, I look back at blood glucose data, GPS tracking data, and archived records to try my best to provide you with accuracy of the real event.

First, we will go through the introduction to the story, setting the scene on what drove me to attempt Washington alone in such treacherous conditions. Then, we will take a quick detour to discuss my recent research on growth hormone in Type-1 Diabetes. After that, we will get back to the adventure to experience subarctic temperatures together. This is a jam-packed episode with lots of actionable items. I’m excited for you to be on this adventure with me.
