Summary

In Episode #43, I sat down with Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams, to chat about his personal health journey. Eric is a former NYPD police officer and New York state senator who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. In our conversation, he shared what his diet was like before his diagnosis, why he changed his diet, and how this affected his diabetes management and quality of life. We also talked about the work he’s doing at the community level in Brooklyn, including his work with Dr Michelle McMacken, and how this can be used as a blueprint for other communities globally.

you and drilled into you that it's a part of getting older and she had to break free

from that and she was willing to try. When you went to Hill and you're tired of being
