There is something powerful about turning one of your greatest challenges into a gift. Dan did this with BeLife. He has taken his adult on-set of Type 1 Diabetes, 25+ years of coaching and competing combined with cutting edge science to help others.

 

Dan understands the body from the inside out—metabolic health to biomechanics, what it takes to build strength and endurance, lose weight, and manage metabolic challenges. But more than that, he understands what it means to face adversity and refuse to be defined by it. That's the heart of BeLife: one person's determination to turn personal struggle into purpose, helping others be resilient and healthy.

Dan’s metabolic expertise was inspired by the adult on-set of his Type 1 Diabetes.
