Kelly Schmidt, a registered dietitian, fitness instructor, wife, and mother of two, leads T1D Functional Nutrition, a virtual practice that offers a holistic approach to T1D management—one that harmonizes body, mind, and spirit for total wellness. Drawing from her expertise in dietetics and 33 years of managing type 1 diabetes, she helps ambitious individuals optimize their metabolism and nutrition.

We cover:
- How alcohol really impacts blood sugar (it's not just about carbs!)

- Why gut health and liver health matter even more after 40

- How hormones like estrogen and cortisol affect alcohol tolerance

- Smart strategies for choosing lower-sugar, better-quality drinks

- How to set "guardrails" for alcohol that align with your health goals

- The emotional and social side of drinking when managing T1D

- Practical tips on hydration, eating, and supplements to protect your body

Plus, Kelly shares details on her seasonal liver cleanse programs and why they can dramatically improve insulin sensitivity.

This is an honest, non-judgmental conversation about alcohol's role in our lives and how we can stay empowered, informed, and resilient — even with a glass of wine in hand.
