Conquering Type 2 Diabetes with Rome

Have you been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes or other illnesses? Rome joined me for this podcast episode after my friend Michael Dennehy sang his praises during a recent hunting trip. After hearing his story, I knew I had to have him on the show to share his transformation with you. I love hearing inspirational stories of people who make the switch to a ketogenic lifestyle and change their health for the better, and I know you'll love this episode.
