Ever wondered how a college athlete with type 1 diabetes turned his passion for nutrition into a career that spans Division I schools, UCLA, and the Raiders? This episode of Afterburn After Hours kicks off our guest series with the exceptional Daniel, owner of Nutrition for Performance and my go-to nutritionist. From balancing baseball and kinesiology in college to becoming a board-certified specialist in sports dietetics and earning the CSCS certification, Daniel's journey is a testament to resilience and expertise.

Struggling to navigate the confusing world of nutrition counseling and insurance? You're not alone.

Understanding your insurance plan can be a game-changer, and we share practical tips to help you maximize coverage and optimize your health.
