I don't even know how to begin to explain this episode to you so I'm going to keep it simple

Jen had to have her pancreas removed for medical reasons she'll explain the entire thing to you. It's fascinating.

But if I try to like pull together a couple thoughts about it here, I don't even know what I'd end up saying.

The only thing I know I should say for sure is that

nothing you hear on the Juice Box podcast should be considered advice medical or

otherwise and to always consult a physician before becoming bold with insulin or making any changes to your medical plan. If you're enjoying the juice box podcast and you'd like to help it grow, please share it with a friend.

Just, you know, maybe take their phone from them and be like, hey, look, this is your podcast app and this is search for the

Juice Box Podcast and subscribe. A lot of people don't understand how to do that.

Or send them a link or something that's probably viable too. All right ready. name's Jen. I'm 28 years old. I live in New Orleans, Louisiana, and I'm 28 years old. I live in New Orleans, Louisiana, and I'm 28 years old I live in New Orleans Louisiana and I live without a pancreas

Excellent so you've done a very good job of introducing yourself already this is excellent

Jen was very worried that she could not introduce

herself properly, but we're past that and we're moving forward. Jen, Louisiana, born there?

I was not. I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. I moved to New Orleans four years ago. My husband is in

surgical residency at LSU and we moved here to let him complete that. It's a six-year program, so we're down here for at least six

years and hopefully moving back to Cincinnati after that.
