Hi! I'm Dr. Mark Heyman (but you can call me Dr. Mark)
I am a diabetes psychologist, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and I have been living with T1D for over 20 years.
Living With T1D Is Not Easy.
But when the stress of T1D isn't getting in your way, life with T1D becomes a whole lot easier. My goal is to help you navigate the stress of T1D so you can find the freedom and flexibility in your life that you're looking for.

"It feels so good to trust myself again!"
Until recently, even the thought of eating foods I enjoy and trying staying in range was terrifying to me so I never tried. But now with diabetes mindset tools from The Diabetes Psychologist Membership I feel so much more confident. Even my husband noticed yesterday when we went on a bit of a hike to the beach… no panic just strategy and trust. It feels so good to trust myself again!

"A great gift for people with T1D who are struggling"
Dr. Mark is a great gift for people with T1D who are struggling. The insight he provides from working with many people struggling with T1D as well as living with this chronic disease is invaluable. Helping PWD to succeed means helping them to accept T1D, be honest with themselves, take action and then be better prepared to do the work needed to manage it knowing that they can never control it.

DR. MARK'S APPROACH TO T1D + MENTAL HEALTH
You can't always make the stress of T1D go away...
But you can make sure it doesn't get in your way with the THREE Pillars of Emotional Health with T1D.
Pillar #1: Education
You can't manage what you don't understand. The more you know about T1D and how it impacts your mental health, the more confident you'll be in dealing with whatever T1D throws your way.
Pillar #2: Mindset
Your mindset is how you think about and approach your life with T1D. When you change your mindset, you change your experience of living with T1D.
Pillar #3: Behavior
It's frustrating when the stress of T1D holds you back from doing the things that are important to you. Changing your behavior is the key to living a free and flexible life, even with T1D along for the ride.

"I'm learning to be kinder to myself"
After joining Diabetes Psychologist Membership I’m learning to be kinder to myself, to get adept at failure, that the way I talk to myself about diabetes matters, that I can act even when I am scared and that watching my feelings and sensations.
