0:00.0	I remember looking at this insulin bile I had and thinking, I have the most powerful
0:05.6	anabolic hormone that anyone could ever have in my hands.
0:09.6	Like steroids, all these other things don't even remotely compare.
0:12.6	Insulin is the most anabolic hormone in our body.
0:16.5	There's got to be a way to leverage this to my benefit because I had just gone through a journey of
0:22.0	obesity. I had just got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and realized.
0:26.3	Hi, I'm Gabby Reese. I'm a retired professional volleyball player and co-founder of XPT Fitness

1:18.7	ultra-restrictive diets. And guess what? Like all of us, none of it worked. Why? Because just after two
1:25.1	weeks, he would usually fall off the wagon and try something different.
1:29.1	All of this inconsistency culminated in Andrew being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
1:34.9	It was only after that diagnosis that Dr. Kootenek found the strategy for consistency that worked for him,
1:41.9	a strategy that he shares within this episode. So whether you're personally looking for him, a strategy that he shares within this episode.
1:45.6	So whether you're personally looking for inspiration to re-energize your fitness journey
