Child Actor, Diabadass Mom: Rhea Silverkorn’s Full-Circle Story

Rhea Silverkorn joins Jess to connect two unlikely worlds: Hollywood and high-risk OB visits. As a kid, Rhea played, Barbara, a diabetic in One Good Cop and as an adult, she managed gestational diabetes with food logs, finger-pricks, and fierce discipline. We unpack the hardest cravings, the protein-with-carbs hack, the importance of science, and the power of a “type three” support system. Also inside: navigating celiac for her son, rethinking “high maintenance” at restaurants, and the quiet confidence that comes from learning your body—and a new instrument.
