Can Chinese Medicine Cure Type 1 Diabetes?

What role can Chinese medicine play in supporting people living with type 1 diabetes?

In this episode, I sit down with Katherine Rohland, a Classical Chinese Medicine doctor and fertility specialist, to explore how holistic and integrative approaches may support those with T1D beyond blood sugar alone.

We talk about how Chinese medicine views autoimmune conditions, stress, inflammation, digestion, and hormonal balance—and why these factors matter for people living with type 1 diabetes. Katherine also shares insights from her own fertility journey, offering a unique perspective as both a practitioner and a patient.

This conversation is not about replacing insulin or medical care, but about understanding the whole-body systems that influence how we feel and function with T1D.

Topics covered:

– Type 1 diabetes and autoimmunity

– Stress, inflammation, and blood sugar variability

– Hormones, fertility, and reproductive health

– How Chinese medicine approaches chronic conditions

– Integrative support alongside conventional care
