(Archive) 93. Reversing Diabetes Through Diet with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams

So, real talk: Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams is our legit hometown hero. Before holding the title of our ACTUAL favorite sitting president, he served three terms in the New York State Senate and 22 years in the New York City Police Department. He is crazy smart, super compassionate, and his dedication and goodwill toward his community is endless. He was diagnosed just three years ago with diabetes, which felt more like a sentence than a diagnosis, but in a matter of three short weeks he changed his entire diet and lifestyle and got the disease under control. A true role model and a leader for his community, he’s a great steward of the impact that lifestyle change can have on chronic illness. It's been a minute since we've had a president we can crush on!
