Our mission is simple yet powerful: to relate to people, inspire them, and help them feel less alone in their journey with diabetes. With over 24 years of personal experience living with type 1 diabetes, I, Taja Cato, know the intricacies of this condition like the back of my hand. Born and raised in Canada, now at the age of 33, I’ve dedicated my life to uplifting others and proving that a remarkable life is within reach, regardless of the hurdles diabetes presents.

Fitness, family, and travel are not just my passions; they are the pillars that fuel my zest for life. Through coaching, I’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of individuals living with type 1 diabetes on their weight loss journeys. Witnessing their incredible transformations and unwavering determination has further ignited my passion for inspiring others in the diabetes community.
