Background

About Madison Cheever

Hi, I'm Madi, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Health Education Specialist, and Master of Public Health deeply committed to empowering individuals with type 1 diabetes and their loved ones. My journey began with a profound desire to foster a sense of belonging and understanding for those navigating the complexities of type 1 diabetes. Over the past six years, I've honed my skills as a health educator, specializing in implementing successful health education and promotion initiatives that make a tangible difference in people's lives. I've had the privilege of working closely with the military population several times, where I leveraged my expertise to conduct interactive workshops, and develop and execute comprehensive marketing campaigns aimed at improving the health and well-being of service members. One notable initiative I spearheaded was the 'PANTS' marketing strategy, focusing on physical activity, nutrition, tobacco cessation, and sleep. My commitment to promoting health extends beyond my professional roles, as I thrive on driving impactful initiatives through meticulous data analysis and strategic engagement optimization. I have also been the keynote speaker for the University of Alabama's Medical Nutrition Therapy I class for several years, infusing my presentations with personal anecdotes. My goal is to inspire future dietetic professionals to approach their patients/clients with the same level of care and empathy they would have for a loved one—a parent, child, or best friend—with diabetes. Drawing from my own experiences living with type 1 diabetes (#TypeOneTypeFun), I offer unique insights into diabetes management, integrating storytelling to empower future dietetic professionals to engage in the nutrition care process with empathy and compassion. In addition to my work as a health education advocate, I'm actively building a supportive community through my personal brand, Cheever Wellness. Through platforms like YouTube, blogging, and other social media, I provide a safe space for community engagement where individuals with diabetes and their loved ones can access evidence-based information, practical strategies, and a sense of camaraderie on their path to empowerment. With a book on the way, I'm excited to continue my mission of educating and inspiring others. Join me on this journey to transform lives and empower individuals to live their best lives with type 1 diabetes.
