In today’s episode, in honor of World Diabetes Day, we’re diving deep into diabetes. Did you know that one in two people in the United States have either prediabetes or diabetes? This means that even if you don’t have diabetes, someone you love probably does. Today, we break down what diabetes is, the differences between type 1 and type 2, whether prediabetes and diabetes are reversible, and most importantly, why having diabetes should never be a source of shame. We’re joined by the two lovely ladies from the Diabetes Digital Podcast, and if you have more questions, you can find additional information on their website.

We dig into everything from the myth of multitasking to why our attention spans are shorter than ever. Plus, we get some practical strategies to reclaim your day, your mental clarity, and your energy. Don't miss this one—it's time to reset, refocus, and finally take control.
