#65: What no one's ever told you about carb counting: Dietician & Functional Nutritionist Kelly Schmidt's formula for thriving with T1D

Welcome to The Stripped Pod, where we have real, honest conversations about diabetes beyond the numbers.

On today's episode, we’re joined by Kelly Schmidt all the way from the US. Kelly’s a registered dietitian, functional nutritionist, and fellow type 1 diabetic. She’s also the founder of T1D Functional Nutrition, where she helps people manage their diabetes in a way that fits their lifestyle, to live fuller, healthier lives without feeling restricted.

Plus, hear all about Braden’s half marathon diabetes dilemmas …
