Episode 135 - The Diabetic Health Coach Vanessa Haydock
At first glance, it may seem that Vanessa Haydock has type 1 diabetes all figured out. The behavioural analyst and health and fitness coach speaks of ‘dominating diabetes’, but it was her struggles to accept her condition and care for herself that have enabled her to help hundreds of others change their health for the better as The Diabetic Health Coach.
Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a toddler, Lancashire born and bred Vanessa keeps it real - focusing on connection, community and education to give her clients ‘what she really needed when she was younger’.
Having gone through every emotion it’s possible to feel in relation to type 1 diabetes, Vanessa shares how she went from denial to not only acceptance but empowerment and fulfilment. She also reveals the tools you can use to start building your own positive habits and self-confidence - just as long as there are no digestive biscuits!
