Episode notes
Home Visit That Sparked RenewRx
- Carrie described a turning point when her first home visit revealed social barriers like no nearby grocery and no sidewalks that undermined clinic advice.
- That visit convinced her 15-minute office visits can't change outcomes and inspired RenewRx's GPS-like ongoing support model.
Client Disclosure That Changed Coaching
- Kelly recounted a client who revealed domestic abuse, which forced them to address safety and basic needs before nutrition coaching could work.
- That moment reshaped Kelly's approach to behavior change: assess context and motivation before prescribing plans.
Why The One Hour Test Misses Early Signals
- Carrie argued the standard glucose tolerance test misses early signs because it tests insulin response to a sugar load rather than real-life glucose variability.
- She pointed to research showing CGMs detect diabetes signals as early as 13 weeks, earlier than the 24-week standard test.
