Today we are sharing a very special conversation with ⁠I Challenge Diabetes⁠ "OGs" Chris Jarvis, former Olympic Rower and founder of ICD, and Dr. Heather Van Der Geest, ND who is a naturopathic physician and a former member of the Canadian Junior National Rowing team!

Together, Chris and fellow type 1 Heather took on overcoming health challenges related to competing in rowing with diabetes at the top of the world 🌎 They both competed for team Canada in Athens, Greece and their connection played a critical role in the birth of ICD!

This conversation has something for everyone, whether you’re super into sports and exercise or not.
