T1D DIDN’T JUST TEACH ME MY PANCREAS DOESN’T WORK… 😂

It taught me how to be a better coach.

After 26 years of living with T1D, I’ve learnt a thing or two…

And not just about managing blood sugars🩸

It’s shaped the way I think, prepare, approach challenges and make decisions.

More importantly, it’s shaped the way I work with the people I coach.

Here are 6 of the biggest lessons ☝️

And whilst these lessons have come from my own experiences living with T1D, they’re principles I apply to the people I coach.

Because good coaching isn’t just about writing training programmes or setting nutrition targets.

It’s about understanding the individual, their lifestyle, their challenges and what they actually need to excel.

TWO CLIENTS. DIFFERENT LIVES. DIFFERENT PLANS. REAL RESULTS🔥

Same coach. Completely different approaches.
And that’s exactly how it should be.

Take RJ, working Monday to Friday, living out of his truck and with limited opportunities to train.

His goal was to lose body fat, build a physique he could be proud of and lay the foundations for potentially stepping on a bodybuilding stage.

So we built his plan around the reality of his life…

Training structured around his available days.
Practical nutrition strategies for life on the road.
Steps and cardio planned around his routes and gym access.

The result after his first 12-week fat loss phase?
🔥11kg lost 📏4 inches off his waist 💪A physique he previously didn’t believe he was capable of building.

All while managing his working routine, a birthday and a holiday.

For Tash, a completely different starting point.
Working primarily from home, setting her own hours and already training 5-6 times per week.

The effort was never the issue. But her training lacked structure, and nutrition tracking had become less consistent.

So instead of asking her to do more, we focused on making what she was already doing more effective.

More structured training.
Greater accuracy and consistency with nutrition.
Clear targets, accountability and a plan that worked around her business and personal life.

The result after 13 weeks of Camera Cut preparation?
🔥5.5 inches off her waist 💪Significant improvements in her physique 📈A completely different level of ownership and consistency.

And she’s been building the confidence to step in front of the camera for her first photoshoot.

Here’s the point.

RJ didn’t need Natasha’s plan.
Natasha didn’t need RJ’s plan.

They needed coaching built around their individual goals, starting points and lifestyles.

Because a good coach doesn’t expect your life to fit a generic plan.

They build the plan to fit your life.

That’s the approach behind CB Coaching🤝

FAT LOSS STALLED? BEFORE YOU CUT YOUR CALORIES AGAIN, READ THIS👇

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make when trying to lose body fat is thinking that every time progress slows, the answer is to eat less, move more and reactively make adjustments to a single piece of the puzzle.

But that’s not always the case.

Before I consider reducing a client’s calories, there are 4 main things I consider first…

🗓️CONSISTENCY
Is the current plan actually being followed consistently?
Not just Monday to Friday. Across the whole week.
Because nutrition is all over the place, reducing calories isn’t necessarily going to solve the problem.

❤️‍🔥DAILY ACTIVITY
Has movement dropped without you realising?
As calories come down and body fat decreases, people can naturally become less active. And that matters.

🎯TRACKING ACCURACY
Are we working with reliable information?
Portion sizes, cooking oils, snacks and drinks can all affect overall average intake. And when it comes to measuring progress, we need to look at trends rather than reacting to a single weigh-in.

📊KEY MARKERS
How’s sleep? Stress? Training performance? Overall fatigue?
These can affect hunger, adherence and short-term fluctuations in progress markers. Sometimes the progress you’re making is being temporarily masked by other factors.

Now, don’t get me wrong.

There absolutely ARE times when calories need to be adjusted.

But those decisions should be made based on what’s actually happening, not because you’ve had a few frustrating check-ins.

Good coaching isn’t just knowing how to reduce calories.
It’s knowing when you need to and when you don’t.

That’s why I focus on understanding the individual, their lifestyle and their progress before making changes.

Real People. Real Lives. Real Results.

Recomp Phase - Week 5🗓️

Apparently getting leaner isn’t all that complicated…

Who’d think it?🫠

My average weight has trended down from 99.2kg to 97.4kg over the past 2 weeks - and a lowest of 96.1kg

The interesting part is I’ve only changed ONE thing ☝️

Turns out you don’t need to excessively slash calories, push more sessions or live off air

You need to do the right things executed consistently, with enough patience to let them work

The boring stuff works, f*ck me🤷‍♂️

TRAINING HARD BUT YOUR PHYSIQUE ISN’T CHANGING? 👇

You turn up to the gym.
You put the effort in.
You leave feeling like you’ve worked hard.
But weeks or months go by and you still don’t see the physique changes you’re working towards.

Here’s the thing most people get wrong…

Showing up alone doesn’t guarantee progress.

1️⃣ PROGRESSION Are you actually improving your performance over time, or just repeating the same sessions?

2️⃣ RECOVERY Are you allowing yourself to recover and perform, or constantly running yourself into the ground?

3️⃣ NUTRITION Does the way you’re eating actually support your goal?

4️⃣ CONSISTENCY Can you follow your plan around work, family and your social life, or does everything fall apart when your routine changes?

5️⃣ TRACKING Are you monitoring objective progress so you know when to make adjustments?

You don’t always need to train more.
Sometimes you need a more structured, intentional plan.

That’s exactly what I focus on with my clients with individualised training, nutrition and accountability that works around their lives specifically.

Because real results come from doing the right things consistently, not just doing more.

Which of these 5 do you think is holding you back most? Let me know below 👇

9 years, 2,340 workouts, 19,710 meals and counting🗓️

Impressive stats to have gained zero muscle on your calves…

As someone who’s lived with T1D for over 26 years, I know how frustrating it can be when your usual insulin doses suddenly don’t seem to work as effectively.

But here’s something worth understanding…

Your insulin sensitivity isn’t fixed. And what you eat can influence it…

📚A 2017 study by Parry et al. investigated what happened when healthy participants consumed a large calorie surplus from a high-fat diet for just ONE day.

The results?

📉28% reduction in whole-body insulin sensitivity.

📈16.4% increase in glucose area under the curve (AUC) meaning greater overall glucose exposure during the test.

And this was after just 24 hours of substantial overfeeding.

Now, here’s why I wanted to share this for those living with T1D.

We rely on exogenous insulin to manage our blood glucose.

And when our insulin sensitivity decreases, we may need more insulin to manage the same amount of glucose.

This is one reason why understanding nutrition with diabetes goes beyond just counting carbohydrates.

High-fat meals can delay digestion and contribute to prolonged glucose rises, making blood sugar management more challenging.

Now, this study was conducted in healthy individuals, NOT people with T1D.

Participants also consumed an extreme calorie surplus, so these results don’t mean that one takeaway will reduce YOUR insulin sensitivity by 28%.

And definitely doesn’t mean you need to avoid the foods you enjoy.

However, your insulin sensitivity is influenced by more than just your insulin doses.

Your nutrition, activity levels, sleep and overall lifestyle all play a role.

And while one meal won’t make or break your progress, understanding nutrition and how your body responds to different eating patterns can help you make more informed decisions🔑

Have you ever noticed your usual insulin doses seem less effective after a weekend of eating more than normal?

114KG → 44LBS DOWN📉

Sometimes you have to look back to appreciate just how far you’ve come.

Dan Mitchell first started working with me back in June 2025, weighing in at 114kg.

Looking back at those initial check-in photos now, it’s almost hard to believe I’m looking at the same person.

But what makes this transformation so impressive isn’t just the physical change. It’s everything that’s happened between then and now.

⏮️Last year, Dan committed to our end-of-year Camera Cut Project, achieving his best shape to date while making some huge shifts in his relationship with nutrition, training and his overall mindset.

Following a structured reverse phase, Dan stepped away from coaching to put those foundations into practice, shifting his focus towards building strength, improving performance and preparing for a competitive CrossFit season.

A shift in goal, but one that required the same level of structure, consistency and intent.

⏭️Fast forward to the start of August, and Dan was ready for round two.

This time, returning to our Camera Cut Project from a significantly better starting point, with one clear goal - to take his previous best physique to another level.

And 12.5 weeks into this 16-week process, that’s exactly what we’ve been doing.

We’ve achieved new levels of conditioning, continued to drive improvements in performance (even whilst in a calorie deficit) and, perhaps most importantly, managed the process incredibly well.

Recovery, sleep, hunger, energy and training output have all remained key considerations throughout.

With 3.5 weeks left, there’s work to be done but this is a reminder of something I think we can all be guilty of forgetting.

It’s easy to become so focused on what’s next that you lose sight of everything you’ve already achieved.

You start questioning your progress, comparing yourself to where you think you should be and constantly moving the goalposts.

Yet sometimes looking back at where you started you realise just how much has changed.

🔥For Dan, that’s 44lbs of fat loss and we’re not finished yet.

Incredibly proud of the work you’ve put in my man, let’s finish this properly🤝
