KORY SEDER

• Started listening around episode 10
  • He gets something out of every show — whether its knowledge or a laugh
• Type 1 diabetic — diagnosed three years ago at the age of 33
• He looks young because he eats sugars and grains!
• Tried to grow out a beard to look older, nixed it
  • When Vinnie grows a beard he looks like Mandy Patinkin
• Switched from water to gatorade during an Ironman when he lost the cap to his gatorade and initially thought he was going to bonk, but didn’t
  • He then realized after a bike time trial where he had a lot of sugar, sugar bad him feel really bad
    • Went to doctor, diabetes
      • Initially diagnosed with type 2
        • Finally saw an endocrinologist who correctly diagnosed him with type 1

HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

• Kory had to fight to get an expert to see him
• He knew what was wrong but was ignored until he pestered enough
