Short Courses

Hi, I’m Brian. I work in population health and created Healthy Texts after seeing my dad struggle with diabetes. With better daily support, his story could’ve been different.

Now, every week, you’ll get research-backed texts to help manage blood sugar, avoid complications, and feel more confident in your health decisions.

Each message includes links to practical tools—like meal plans and tracking guides—the kind of support I wish my dad had.

Thanks for letting us be part of your journey.
