08. What I wish I knew before freezing my eggs with T1D with Kirby Reynolds

Author: Meg Cremins June 25, 2025 Duration: 55:40

In this episode, Kirby shares her experience with egg freezing with T1D. We chat through the emotional journey, self-advocacy, navigating the medications and doctor's appointments, and what she wish she would have done differently.


As always, this is not medical advice and is based solely on Kirby's own experience.


If you enjoyed this episode, it would mean so much if you left a review or shared it with a friend living with T1D.💛

Meg Cremins brings a quarter-century of lived experience with Type 1 Diabetes to her work as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Personal Trainer, and she channels all of that into Is Butter a Carb? | T1D, Nutrition, & Health Conversations. Forget about rigid rules and perfect diets; this is a place for the real, often messy, talk about what it means to care for your body. Episodes dive into the daily intricacies-like navigating blood sugar swings, the interplay of insulin with different foods, or how stress and hormones throw a wrench into the best-laid plans. You’ll find practical, evidence-based strategies that focus on addition rather than restriction, all aimed at fostering a healthier relationship with food and movement. The conversations are grounded in both professional knowledge and personal understanding, offering a unique blend of science and empathy. Tune into this podcast for a candid exploration of health that acknowledges burnout, tackles body image, and ultimately seeks sustainable ways to live well, without the noise and judgment found elsewhere. It’s a resource built on honesty, for anyone looking to move beyond oversimplified answers.
