Drew Harrisberg is an exercise physiologist and sports scientist with a profound personal and professional commitment to health education and diabetes management. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 22, Drew has transformed his life and health with a holistic approach to diet and exercise, becoming an emblem of thriving despite a chronic health condition. His platform, Drew’s Daily Dose, reflects his dedication to empowering others with the knowledge and mindset to lead a life not defined by diabetes but enhanced by informed health choices.

In this episode, we explore pivotal themes at the intersection of diet and exercise. We examine the cardiovascular benefits of consistent exercise, the impact of plant-based diets on athletic performance, and the role of nutrients like creatine in bone health. We also address common misconceptions about strength, power, and endurance, and offer practical insights into maintaining optimal iron levels and protein intake.
