Reclaim Your Rise: Type 1 Diabetes with Lauren Bongiorno
Lauren Bongiorno is a Nationally Board Certified Health Coach and the founder and CEO of Risely Health. Featured on the TODAY show and other media outlets, Risely helps people and families impacted by Type 1 Diabetes take ownership over their health so they can transform their life with more freedom and confidence. Lauren has lived with type 1 diabetes since she was 7 years old and has experienced firsthand that when health transforms, so does everything else - our relationships, our time, our career, our families, and, most importantly, ourselves. Each week she will bring you lessons from her own personal diabetes experience, strategies that are key to understanding your body’s patterns, and guests who will speak to everything from advances in technology to all things hormones, exercise, relationships, and mindset. All of this so that over time, you TOO can reclaim your rise.

56. From Emotional Meltdowns to Rising Up with 90%+ Time in Range : How this RN and T1D Made it Happen with Bridget Rueter
I’m so excited for you to listen to today’s episode with my friend Bridget Rueter! Bridget works in healthcare as a Registered Nurse. She’s 27 years old and was diagnosed with type one at the age of six.
Bridget is a graduate of Risley's Spring 2022 Decide and Conquer Group Coaching Program. This past year, she's completely shifted her mindset and relationship with diabetes from a place of isolation and frustration to community and acceptance. Before the DCB, Bridget had never been below a 6.8 A1C. Three months after, she lowered it to a 6.2, and now nine months later, she's below a 6.0 with 90%+ time in range!
In today's episode, we go beneath these numbers and discuss...
- What was holding Bridget back from authentic transformation with her diabetes
- How she let go of hiding her diabetes from the world and started prioritizing herself
- How Bridget found her correct rates and ratios
- What it was like to re-learn the “basics” of T1D as a nurse
We are now enrolling for our Spring 2023 Decide and Conquer Group Coaching Program. If you are curious about the transformation Bridget talks about in this episode, learn more about the DCB and apply HERE.
