Type 1 Diabetes, Food Joy, and Five Minute Resets with Mila Clarke, @thehangrywoman
Episode summaryToday’s episode is a practical deep-dive with creator and NBCHWC coach Mila Clarke (aka @thehangrywoman) on how to keep food joy without the guilt, lower the mental load of T1D, and use a quick five-minute reset when stress (or your CGM) starts shouting. We also do an on-mic, one-minute reset you can follow anywhere, play a rapid-fire True or False, and wrap with a vulnerable Confession Booth that’ll make you feel a little less alone. What you’ll learnHow Mila keeps food joy and a livable CGM line at the same time. A simple pause + reframe framework for days when the wheels try to come off. A guided, 60-second reset you can do in your car, kitchen, or pharmacy line. Why “the graph is information, not a grade” matters on hard days.
