Episode 7: Riva Greenberg

Feb 15, 2023

Today on the Salience Podcast, We discuss the issues with industrialised healthcare’s culture of control, and how we can move from a more pathogenic culture of seeking to “control” chronic diseases, to one that recognises the variability of patient lives, and encourages salutogenesis - or, the sense of coherence that patients can seek by cultivating their ability to understand their own condition, manage and respond appropriately, and to also create meaning around their experience.

Our guest is Riva Greenberg. Riva is an internationally recognised diabetes educator who provides education and advocacy on living with Type 1 diabetes. In 2015, she was awarded a distinguished lecture award from the International Diabetes Federation, and she continues to speak at the federation’s annual conference on her “Flourishing approach to diabetes”. She has written three books and contributes to the HuffPost on the topic, and is committed to helping others live an exceptional life, not despite having diabetes but because of it.

As of 2022, she has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for 50 years and has just received her Joslin award. She continues to act as an influencer and Ambassador for Type 1, and advises industry, healthcare professionals and patients.
