Joseph Anthony Marcello

The conversation of Type-1 Diabetes and Endurance. Redefining what is possible at the intersection of Type 1 Diabetes, human physiology, and extreme endurance. Welcome to The T1Determined Podcast, the definitive audio space exploring how elite athletes, adventurers, and medical pioneers conquer the world's most grueling physical challenges while managing Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Hosted by T1D endurance athlete and advocate Joseph Anthony Marcello, this podcast dismantles the historic limitations placed on the diabetes community by merging raw, unfiltered human storytelling with clinical insight. Each episode features deep-dive conversations with ultra-endurance icons—from athletes who have run across continents and through the Sahara, to mountaineers summiting the world's highest peaks. Alongside these extraordinary individuals, we bring in leading endocrinologists, sports dietitians, and researchers to break down the complex science of managing a chronic autoimmune condition under extreme physical stress.

    Type 1 Trail Talks with Sheila Gorny

    Today, on Type 1 Trail Talks, Chris Roome sits down with Sheila Gorny, who faced a rare and unexpected T1D diagnosis in her 60s. Rather than letting fear hold her back, Sheila embraced the challenge as an invitation to learn, grow, and keep chasing adventure. On Project Insulnation's debut trip to the rugged White Mountains, Sheila sought to discover what her body could truly do. What she walked away with was not just personal resilience, but the deep camaraderie that comes from surrounding yourself with people who truly get it. – Thanks to your support, The T1Determined Podcast is growing fast.

    Type 1 Trail Talks with Mary Beth Cooley

    Welcome to Type 1 Trail Talks of The T1Determined Podcast. Today, I sit down with Mary Beth Cooley. Diagnosed with T1D in her late 30s —just one week before the world shut down for COVID-19— Mary Beth chose to face a daunting new reality with incredible focus. While the rest of the world ground to a halt, she got to work mastering her health. We dive into what it was like navigating a fresh chronic illness during a global pandemic, and how a profound shift in perspective allowed her to see lockdown not as a detour, but as a rare window to focus on herself. That resilient mindset ultimately led her to the trails, and six years later, to our first Project InsulNation trip. – As we build this podcast from the ground up and face every slope head-on, your support is crucial for our continued growth.
