This podcast was recorded in partnership with National Association of Chronic Disease Directors in support of the Native Diabetes Prevention Network. While the topic and issues discussed in this podcast are applicable to all Lifestyle Coaches, the interviewee was chosen because of their experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native persons in the lifestyle change programs. Some of the discussions in the podcast focused on the AI/AN population specifically.
