Here’s Why We Microdose Ozempic & Mounjaro with T1D
Send us Fan Mail Sixty-two percent of U.S. adults with type 1 diabetes are living with overweight or obesity.

Curing Type 1 Diabetes: Real Science with Seraxis CEO, Will Rust
Send us Fan Mail "A cure is five years away." If you've lived with type 1 diabetes for any length of time, you've heard it. Maybe at diagnosis, maybe from a well-meaning doctor, maybe on repeat for decades. Then five years pass, and five more, and the question gets harder to ignore: where is it? That frustration is fair. So is the skepticism. But Seraxis CEO Will Rust believes we are closer to a cure for T1D than we've ever been, and he makes his case in this episode. We dig into what Sera...
