Keto vs Carbs: What Actually Fixes Insulin Resistance with Drew Harrisberg

Our advocate, actor-activist Alexandra Paul, sits down with exercise physiologist, sports scientist, and type 1 diabetes educator Drew Harrisberg. Together, they unpack what diabetes really is: from the difference between type 1 and type 2 to what “insulin resistance” actually means, and how movement, food, and lifestyle can transform life with (or without) diabetes.

This conversation isn’t about blame, fear, or quick fixes; it’s about clarity. Expect honest insights on keto vs. carbs, saturated fat, fasting, plant-based eating, continuous glucose monitors, and Drew’s five pillars of health.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered:
Is type 1 really that different from type 2?
Does keto actually fix insulin resistance or just hide the symptoms?
Can you build muscle, thrive with diabetes, and feel great on a plant-based diet?

Then this episode is for you.
