The Proof has covered a variety of complex topics in recent episodes, and in this conversation, we take a step back to evaluate some key learnings in a more conversational format that is easy to digest and follow.

Drew Harrisberg is a passionate exercise physiologist, sports scientist, and diabetes educator who has been thriving with type 1 diabetes for over a decade. After his diagnosis at 22, Drew committed himself to making positive lifestyle changes and empowering others to do the same. He founded Drew's Daily Dose, a platform designed to inspire, empower, and enable individuals to thrive, not just survive. Drew uses his professional expertise and personal experiences to help others take control of their health for optimal outcomes.
