Jock Putney Season 1 Episode 22

In this episode of The Pathway to Peak Performance, Jock Putney sits down with epidemiologist and health innovator Erin Keyes, MPH, MBA to explore how Type 1 diabetes, precision medicine, AI, and cellular health intersect to shape the future of human performance.

Drawing from her lived experience with Type 1 diabetes and her career across public health, healthcare systems, and startups, Erin shares why traditional “sick care” isn’t enough—and how environment, metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and access profoundly influence long-term outcomes.

This grounded and forward-thinking conversation breaks down what it truly takes to build a healthier, higher-performing society through science, compassion, and innovation.
