In this episode of the ‘All Things Endurance Podcast,’ host Rick Prince chats with physiologist and diabetes researcher, Dr. Sam Scott – CEO and co-founder of Enhance-d (https://www.enhance-d.com/).
As the CEO of Enhance-d, a platform aimed at making biomarker data easier to interpret and correlate for type 1 diabetics, Dr. Sam Scott is wealth of knowledge not just in respect to type 1 and 2 diabetes, but also how diabetic knowledge can be useful to non-diabetic athletes and coaches.
Below are the areas that Rick and Dr. Scott chat about during this episode:
- Could you give the listeners a little bit of information about you and your background?
- For our listeners that are not familiar with type 1 and 2 diabetes, could you give a bit of information about these types of diabetes, key definitions, as well as some basic physiology about diabetes?
- For diabetics, what are the biggest challenges that they face while exercising that non-diabetics do not?
- What are some of the biggest misconceptions that non-diabetics have about those with diabetes (type 1 or 2)?
- What was the genesis for founding Enhance-d?
- If a coach has an athlete with Type 1 or 2 diabetes, what would your advice be to them with respect to the athlete?
- What can non-diabetic athletes and coaches learn about nutrition and physiology from diabetic information and research?
- What are the biggest challenges that diabetic athletes face with respect to the collection and interpretation of physiological biomarker data?
