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.
