Drew also discusses the importance of setting realistic goals in nutrition and fitness, encouraging listeners not to succumb to the pressure of perfection but rather to focus on incremental changes.
As an entrepreneur, Drew is constantly juggling various projects, including a new keto-focused book set to release in February 2019 and a supplement line called Complete Wellness.
