Meditation is such a powerful tool, a wonderful bio- and lifehack. Research shows that Loving-Kindness meditation has tremendous benefits from greater well-being to providing relief from illness and improving emotional intelligence. For me, meditation is the one thing, that let's me calm down my mind, reconnect to my heart, release and relax. And it helps me manage my type one diabetes better, by balancing my blood glucose levels. Today, we practise Loving-Kindness meditation together, which uses a sequence of mantras to offer well-wishes to different people in your life. Instead of focusing on the breath, which most meditation techniques do, we use the silent repetition of certain phrases. In the loving-kindness meditation those phrases are an offering to someone—a gift-giving. This meditation focuses on developing feelings of kindness, goodwill and warmth towards others. ✨✨FREE: Meditation scrip✨✨ Practise loving-kindness meditation by yourself, in your own pace.

According to old studies and official guidelines is red meat bad, vegetable oil good and cholesterol harmful. Today, research is proving the opposite. But how and why has it been wrong? Is science corrupt? And what kind of health information can we actually rely on? Dr. Stephen Hussey has some answers to those questions with his fast knowledge in nutritional science. He is a Chiropractor and Functional Medicine practitioner, whole foods supporter and type 1 diabetic. He is also the author of two books on health called “The Health Evolution: Why Understanding Evolution is the Key to Vibrant Health” and “The Heart: Our Most Medically Misunderstood Organ”. Fact is, that about 90% of US Americans have already some aspect of poor metabolic health. So we are getting something, somewhere wrong. Let's explore together how to be a smarter consumer of health information and live a healthier life with food that prevents heart disease and diabetes, rather than causing it. ✨✨FREE: Keto bread & cookies✨✨ Exclusive for all of my listeners!

I only recently found out about an app, not mine, which has this value of community at heart too. It is called the Diabetes App and I interviewed Elizabeth, who helps running the app and ask her to give us a better picture on what it is all about. It is a free social networking platform dedicated to educating and empowering the diabetic community. On The Diabetes App, users can connect and receive community support from people with the same type of diabetes, similar lifestyle, and experiences.

This week's episode is about banning unhealthy and making healthy foods more accessible to everyone for a generally healthier society. Guest on the show is Dr. Paul Coleman, a Public Health Registrar and Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, UK. Together with Dr. Hanson, Paul recently published a review on academic research, which looked into the connections between obesity and advertising of unhealthy fast food products. The findings of the review led the network to recommend to the UK Government Consultation a total ban of such product advertisements on television. With their important work, Paul and his colleagues challenge the UK government and big cooperations. Big food companies are challenged for advertising unhealthy foods specifically to our children. Paul's work is a big step towards health education for all ages and something we will discuss in detail. We will also address the role of COVID with regard to overall health and obesity as well as the connections of our daily food to environmental degradation and climate change. ✨✨Free download✨✨ Get your free download on “4 Things You Need To Know Before You Start”.

In this episode I share with you my self-experimentation of 100 hours fasting. My findings blew my mind! Not just was I able to reduce my overall insulin needs to just over 1 unite in 24h (>90% decrease), I also experienced more mental clarity, boosts in energy, improvements of my skin and digestion, a decrease in food intolerance as well as drug-like feelings of physical lightness and an enthusiasm towards life. This episode equips you with knowledge on how extended fasts work and how they can benefit you, especially but not exclusively, as a diabetic. There are 4 essential lessons I learned from this experiment, which will open your mind to new possibilities and together, we will bust many myths along the way. I will address 1) different types of fasts 2) my motivation, preparation and implementation and 3) myths around fasting and conclude with a key take away message. ✨✨4 Things You Need To Know Before✨✨ Get your free download on “4 Things You Need To Know Before You Start Any Fast As a Diabetic”.

This week's podcast features an awareness exercise with Nicole Harrington. A meditation style fostering awareness of self. Diabetes is interfering in our relationship with food so much and actually enjoying a meal can be challenging. We are constantly forced to look at food in a mathematical way to do our carb counts, evaluate it with its macros as if it is a science project and inject medication for it every single time. No matter, how you eat with diabetes, very day is a balance act of decisions and that adds stress to our lives. We made this meditation, to ease off stress and for you to return to the present moment. It is made to empower you to foster a good relationship with yourself and the way you nourish your mind and body by focusing on the breath. ✨✨Mindfulness eating booklet✨✨ In connection with mindfulness eating Nico and I developed a small booklet with a vegan low carb recipe and mindfulness practise, which we are giving away for free in a giveaway.

Paul Vugteveen is a type 1 diabetic from the US, who started a campaign called “outrun the homelessness” to disrupt intergenerational poverty in his region. He challenges the dominant idea that poverty is a moral position and believes housing is a human right. He let's us reflect on the racist and sexiest structures that make correlation exist with those issues in the first place. Paul is a great example, that diabetes cannot stop us, but rather inspires us to become more and support each other. Yet, Paul highlights that this is no inspirational porn. He says: “I am not hear for someone else's inspiration”. He talks about the betrayal people with disabilities can face and what this definition means exactly.

In todays episode we explore ways to increase insulin sensitivity. Matt Barrie lives with type 1 diabetes for over 30 years and follows the ketogenic diet in combination with intermitted fasting since years. Recently he decided to go on a trail experiment by carrying out his very first 72h fast. One of many great benefits he experienced was a massive increase in insulin sensitivity even weeks after the fast. Looking back, he openly reflect on what worked and what didn't during those 3 days. Learn from from his biohacking tricks to make your fast a success! Matt says: “If I would have listened to the general opinions on long term fasts and diabetes, I would have never experienced those benefits. I am very thankful for that.” We touch on:

Welcome to the 4th chakra meditation. In this meditation we tune into compassion, unconditional and forgiving love by reconnecting with our hearts. We tap into our personal strength and connection. The 4th chakra is one of 7 chakras, together considered as subtle energy bodies located within the spinal cord. The heart chakra comes into appearance in the colour green in the center line of the chest. This is the place of the “spiritual heart”. Use this 10 minute meditation anytime you want. It is particularly uplifting during feelings of loneliness, stress or worry. Relax more, stress less, cause those negative feelings, can mess badly with our blood sugar levels and effect our entire being. It is essential for good health, to take time out for yourself and return to a place of stillness, mindfulness, abundance and joy.

Uganda is a country struggling from political lockdowns, which is increasing their humanitarian crises. I spoke with Vivian Nabeta, founder of the Sonia Nabeta Foundation. In her counrty, kids need to travel up to 6h every 6 weeks, the majority of that by foot, to reach the nearest clinic for their next insulin vial. This issue got even bigger due to lockdowns and further limits of transportation. Now, motoscylce taxis are being used to bring medication to remote areas, making Uganda a pilot country to reduce this travel gap families face, which otherwise prevents them from accessing insulin. I spoke with Vivian about her life saving project, how it all started and how to keep insulin cool without fridges.

How can you possibly spend less time managing your diabetes and minimising decision making on a daily basis? I discuss just that in today's interview with the athlete Sid Sharma from Canada. After being diagnosed with T1D, Sid immediately got into cycling and has, since then, done many long distance races around the world such as London to Paris in 2016 with roughly 400km/2500miles and crossing the entire US from New York City to San Francisco in 2017, cycling for about 5.000km/3.00miles. But not just that, him and his T1 diabetic wife follow the ketogenic diet and he says: “We are running diabetes on autopilot” and he continues saying, “it is about going away from this rollercoaster and having that confidence.”

Today's episode is with the digital creator Nicole from Indianapolis, USA. She is a type 1 diabetic artist, who is sharing the highs and lows of diabetes through illustration by mainly portraying other T1Ds. Nicole and I talk about, how she got started, where she gets her inspiration from and, at the very end, how you can get your picture illustrated. Her work is truly empowering and her slogans down to earth and real. I am going to describe some of her illustrations briefly in our discussion. You can find those drawings on my blog https://thehappytypeone.com/blogcastseason4/ or through my instagram bio link, if you like to have a look, while listening to the episode. ✨✨BONUS✨✨ I am planning to run a giveaway on my instagram profiles soon, so you can get your personal picture illustrated.

Keto, ketons, ketosis, ketoacidosis, ketogenic diet. Why are "keto" words popping up everywhere and what do they mean? In this episode, I break down these words for you and explain how they compare to one another. We will start off with the basic principles of “ketons”. I will then talk about the difference between ketosis and ketoacedosis. At the very end, I share my personal 3 tipps on how to prevent ketoacedosis. It is very important to get the definition of these terms right, as they get used a lot in the diabetes world. Health care professionals mention them, often using “ketosis” and “ketoacedosis” interchangeably. The confusion about the topic commonly leads to the myth, that the keto diet causes ketoacedosis on a regular basis. When really what it can do is, preventing us from such life threatening situations. This episode empowers you to be able to answers the following questions: ✨What does “keto” mean? ✨What is “ketosis”? ✨What is “nutritional ketosis”? ✨What are the advantages and disadvantages?
 ✨What is ketoacedosis and its symptoms? ✨How to prevent ketoacedosis? ✨✨BONUS!✨✨ If you did not manage to take notes, head over to my Blogcast https://thehappytypeone.com/blogcastseason4/, where you can get a summary of the difference between ketosis and ketoacedosis as well as the 3 tipps on how to prevent ketoacedosis!

Todays episode addresses the influence of hormones throughout the menstrual cycle on glucose levels and insulin requirements. The female body as a whole and women-specific affairs are still highly under researched. Yet, by looking at the menstrual cycle we can learn much about hormones in general, important to all genders. Research around gender-specific needs, treatments and medical care is essential for the overall well-being of humanity. Fundamental research and education for girls and women around the world is needed to support and improve their diabetes management. And those are the topics I discuss with the medical student Darius Mewes. He is studying at Charité in Berlin, Europe's largest university hospitals and the 5th best hospital in the world. More than half of all German Nobel Prize winners in Physiology and Medicine, 
including Robert Koch, have worked at there. Together with his colleague Katarina Braune, he published an analysis of subjectively perceived glycemic variations and therapy adjustments with respect to the menstrual cycle. We discuss his findings and much more :) ✨✨BONUS✨✨ A summary of the study is on my blogcast for you: https://thehappytypeone.com/ On the blogcast you can also find additional FREE downloads and many other free resources including blood glucose friendly recipes and key take-aways of past shows.

Welcome type ones, type nones and all other types. This episode is with the lovely Edith Mukantwari from Uganda. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2005 and is now a nutritionist and a diabetes educator, working alongside the Africa Diabetes Alliance. In this show we discuss her diagnosis as a teenager with type 1 and how her school nurses didn't believe she was poorly, but instead thought she was pretending to be sick so she could skip school for weeks on-end. We also talk about the guilt she carried needing money to self fund her diabetes supplies, while her siblings needed financial support for their everyday things . She is truly an empowering lady, teaching diabetics on how to take their own decisions regarding their health and lifestyle choices. We also get to talk about the gorgeous Ugandian cuisine.

Today I like to take you on a journey of sounds, in particular of an ancient instrument from Western China, the gong. Today, gongs are often used as meditation music - and that's maybe where you have heard them recently. Gong baths became an important part of my self care and daily meditation practise about a year ago, helping me to take care of my subconscious mind as well as my body. Both my mind and body need a sort of “time out” at times, especially when dealing with T1D, which adds extra stress to my life (diabetes distress). Gong baths help me to do just that. I can relax and just ‘be', feeling more capable to deal with life's challenges and responsibilities. I, therefore made this episode to share my personal practise with you and for you to experience its benefits at home. You are going to hear an interview with my gong teacher Wendy Burbidge. In the interview we discuss: ✨ What a gong bath is ✨ How gongs became Wendy's passion ✨ What motivates people to do gong baths ✨ What it's health benefits are and how it can slow down our brain waves Wendy and I recorded 2 gong baths for you! One is at the end of this episode, played on a bigger gong with deeper sound. The other one is with a smaller gong and higher sound, which you can find free to listen to on my blogcast @thehappytypeone.com. There you can also find illustrations, a bit of history and some of the health benefits listed, people experienced in gong baths.

In todays episode I spoke with Fernanda Claudino, a Brazilian lawyer and T1D, living in Curitiba, close to Sao Paulo, Brazil. We spoke about: ✨ the health care system in Brazil ✨ her recent venture with the low-carb diet ✨ how she is managing low-carb with her two kids in quarantine ✨ and the benefits she has experienced by following the low-carb diet e. g. better blood glucose control, reduction of basal rate by 5 to 6 unites She has only just started low-carb few months ago and is loving it. Yet she believes, that being stuck at home due to the pandemic, it is actually the perfect time to try low-carb. Not just because, many of us are at home and can prepare our own meals but also because we can support our immune system to be less vulnerable for infections such as COVID by having good blood glucose control.

For today's episode I spoke with Laura, a former health management student from Germany. Laura is a type 1 diabetic herself and wrote her final Bachelor thesis about the impaired quality of life in type 1 diabetes patients (T1Ds). To explore how those people manage their diabetes and how it effects their psyche, she interviewed many type 1s between 18 and 25 years. In this episode, we speak about her main findings. Her work contributes greatly to type 1 awareness to optimise medical care we receive. The interview is in GERMAN, but we summarised Laura's main findings in English on my BLOGCAST: www.thehappytypeone.com/blogcast Laura on Instagram: instagram.com/kimdiabefit?

As most of us have experienced, stress can have a negative effect on our blood glucose levels. Mental health can at times, impact our blood glucose just as much as food does. It is important to feed the mind with positive thoughts and take moments to pause, calm down and rest. For this crazy time of uncertainty, in which many of us feel insecure about our health and overall well being, I established a meditation to feel more protected, save and confident. A meditation of less than 10 min I like to share with you today in this episode. Music by Steffen Grell, www.entspannt.de Write me your thoughts on this episode on Instagram @thehappytypeone.
