I think we're really good at assuming whether someone's a jerk to us or someone lives this way or eats this way. Being empathetic is something I've always done fairly well. It's helped me check a lot of my assumptions and judgments about things across the board, and it's a real turning point for me.
Picture this: you're an adult, going about your life, and suddenly you're hit with a diagnosis that changes everything. That's exactly what happened to Michael Gray, co-host of 'Middleish'. In this eye-opening episode, Michael shares his personal story of being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as an adult—something incredibly rare and life-altering.
Joined by Erin Green, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, they dive into the nitty-gritty of what it's like to manage a chronic illness while juggling daily life, fitness, and mental well-being. Michael opens up about the shock of his diagnosis and the steep learning curve that followed. From managing blood sugar levels to adjusting his diet, every aspect of his life was turned upside down. But it’s not all about the technicalities; this episode is rich with emotional depth.
Michael talks about developing a newfound empathy for others and confronting his own biases about chronic illness. Erin adds her professional insights, making the conversation both relatable and informative. What sets this episode apart is its focus on community and support. Michael emphasizes how crucial it is to have a strong support system, whether it's family, friends, or even a community of fellow diabetics.
He also shares some candid moments about the emotional toll of living with a chronic condition and how he finds strength in the love and support around him. If you're dealing with a chronic illness or know someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just about diabetes; it's about resilience, empathy, and the power of human connection. Tune in to 'Middleish' and let Michael's story inspire you to face life's challenges head-on.
