This podcast features an engaging conversation between Allison Gaillard and Joanne Parker, who shares her passion for running, CrossFit, and living a healthy lifestyle despite having type 1 diabetes.

Joanne recounts her athletic journey from swimming and track in high school to embracing motherhood and maintaining fitness by participating in triathlons, running events, and eventually finding a love for CrossFit.

She discusses the impact of her diabetes diagnosis on her exercise routine, the importance of nutrition, hydration, and community support, and how she overcomes mental barriers with a positive attitude.
