Bethany McKenzie was thrust into the world of type one diabetes when her son was diagnosed with the disease in 2015. She discovered this when Bethany came back from a trip, when she noticed her son, River,  had lost weight, dropping from 46 to 40 lbs. Immediately, she rushed him to the hospital, and he was diagnosed. For several years, Bethany followed their rules, only to find that her son felt truly terrible and unhealthy, experiencing headaches, and high blood sugar.

Eventually, she realized that she would have to change the way that her family ate, despite the advice from her doctors and dieticians. Bethany found low-carbohydrate diets that have, with careful control, worked wonders for her son and for her family.

She is the executive producer of the incredible documentary “The Diabetes Solution”, modeled after the work of Dr. Richard Bernstein in the field of diabetes and insulin.

She is also the founder of Let Me Be 83, a movement by the Rivere Foundation. They advocate for an alternative diabetes management regimen, anchored in nutrition and the proper use of insulins, that allows people with diabetes to achieve healthy blood glucose levels.
