Episode 370: Beth McNally

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Beth McNally, MS, MA, CNS®, LDN, CKNS®, is the co-founder, along with her husband, Matt, of T1D Nutrition—a company providing the support and education that people with T1D need in order to thrive. She has earned a Masters in Science in Nutrition & Integrative Health from Maryland University of Integrative Health and another Masters in Public Policy from the University of Sydney. After here son was diagnosed with T1D in 2015 she and her husband began researching like crazy in order to learn how to prevent the long and short term risks of the disease. They came to realize that one of the best ways to reduce diabetes complications is to keep blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible. This led them to adopt an approach to T1D care for their son that would revolutionize his life and theirs—Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction.
