159. Blood Sugar, Diabetes, and Binge Eating Recovery

This episode features a conversation with Danielle Bublitz, a registered dietitian from Southern California who has lived with type 1 diabetes for over 20 years. Danielle shares insights on the stigma surrounding type 2 diabetes, what it means to have prediabetes, and the tendency of wellness culture to pathologize blood sugar spikes in people without diabetes (including people with eating disorders, disordered eating, and orthorexia). The conversation also touches on the controversies surrounding Ozempic and GLP-1 medications, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and the psychological implications of dieting and food restriction for blood sugar management.  Danielle Bublitz, MS, RDN, is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. She specializes in working with people with diabetes and binge eating in a Health At Every Size(R)-aligned lens. Danielle earned her bachelor’s degree in nutrition and dietetics from California State University at Chico and received her Master’s degree from California State University at Northridge while completing the dietetic internship program. Danielle is passionate about guiding her clients with diabetes towards feeling more at peace with their food decisions and blood sugar management.
