Type 1 In Midlife: Perimenopause, Menopause & Type 1 Diabetes

The Type 1 in Midlife Podcast is for women navigating hormones and blood sugar through perimenopause, menopause, and aging with type 1 diabetes. Hosted by Melissa Slemp, certified nutritional and hormone health coach, author of Highs, Lows & Hormones, and living with type 1 diabetes for more than 44 years. This show brings honest conversations, practical strategies, and real-life support to women who are tired of feeling dismissed, confused, or alone in their health journey. Inside each episode, you'll learn how hormones impact insulin resistance, sleep, weight gain, stress, energy, metabolism, and blood sugar management during every stage of life. Melissa also brings trusted conversations around the benefits and considerations of hormone therapy, helping women better understand current research, treatment options, symptom relief, and how hormone support may improve quality of life during midlife and menopause. Through lived experience, coaching insight, expert interviews, and faith-filled encouragement, Melissa helps women better understand their bodies, confidently advocate for the care and support they deserve, and feel empowered to make informed health decisions. If you're looking for practical help, validation, education, and a community of women who truly get it — you're in the right place.
