Derrick Walker, MS, RD, CDE isn’t your typical dietitian... After living with type 1 diabetes for more than 35 years, he left a career in hairstyling to become a dietitian and diabetes educator, driven by the reality that his own condition was expensive and difficult to manage. In this episode, Derrick explains why the standard “diabetes diet” makes patients sicker, how the food industry sold America a broken system, and why most people only meet someone like him when it’s almost too late. 🎧 If you’ve ever felt like the system makes the wrong choice the easy one, this episode will hit home. 00:00 Intro 04:24 Derrick’s journey from hairstylist to dietitian 07:46 Why the “diabetes diet” was built by the food industry 09:39 Men’s health, chronic disease, and losing family members to heart disease 11:40 Income, not geography, as the driver of obesity and diabetes 17:00 Why patients are given drugs instead of food education 19:26 Derrick’s $75 grocery list and real-world meal strategy 23:14 A hormone-based view on diet versus “calories in, calories out” 25:10 Lessons from diabetes camp and building confidence as a kid 37:36 The problem with hospital food and why patients don’t heal 41:40 Derrick’s “gift” for motivating people with a message that works 💡 Who Should Listen Physicians, dietitians, and healthcare professionals frustrated by how the system handles diabetes, as well as anyone living with the disease who wants practical, unfiltered insight from someone living it every day. About Derrick Walker Derrick Walker is a Licensed Dietitian, Diabetes Educator, and founder of UnFukYaDiet. Living with type 1 diabetes for over 35 years, Derrick has managed his own care and blood sugars for just $70 a month, an unheard-of feat in today’s healthcare landscape, challenging the narrative that diabetes must be expensive or unmanageable. He holds a master’s degree in nutrition and works with FoodSmart and Dietitians on Demand, supporting patients who are often overwhelmed, misinformed, or reaching him as a last resort. He is particularly passionate about closing the gap between dietitians and patients referred by vascular surgeons. Through UnFukYaDiet, Derrick delivers blunt, relatable education designed especially for men: keep your eyes bright, your mind sharp, and your d*ck hard. His mission is to expose how the food industry and broken healthcare systems keep people sick, while giving patients tools that actually work.

After more than a decade in medtech, working alongside surgeons, hospital teams, and device reps, Eric Plumb saw the same problem everywhere. Now, as the Founder and CEO of PROXDIS, he built the tech that could finally fix it. In this episode, Eric joins us to talk about why the OR still runs on chaos, what he learned managing over 180 hospital accounts at Medtronic, and how PROXDIS’s scheduling and coordination platform, UNITE, is helping hospitals and reps work like it’s 2025, not 2005.

About Eric Plumb Eric Plumb is the Founder and CEO of PROXDIS, a healthcare technology company focused on improving how hospitals work with the medical device industry. After more than a decade in MedTech, including roles in both clinical sales and operational strategy, Eric saw firsthand how broken the communication process is inside procedural care. That experience led him to build PROXDIS and its flagship platform, UNITE, to bring structure, accountability, and modern tools to a part of healthcare that has long been left behind. Before founding PROXDIS, Eric managed over 180 hospital relationships across the Southeast as a Customer Account Manager at Medtronic, where he worked directly with hospitals on clinical education, inventory compliance, pricing strategy, product distribution, and risk mitigation. His role sat at the intersection of hospitals and industry, providing a practical view into the challenges and disconnects between the two. Earlier in his career, Eric supported a range of procedural specialties as a medical device representative, including peripheral vascular, embolization, and coronary interventional procedures. He brings a grounded, real-world perspective to healthcare technology, shaped by years of collaboration with physicians, hospital operational teams, and medical device companies.

We wanted to try something different for this episode. Instead of coming in with a topic or script, we asked ChatGPT to generate a list of questions based on our past conversations, what someone who’s been listening to Life of Flow might be curious about if they could sit down and ask us anything. The result: a wide-ranging Q&A where we talk about mental prep before high-risk cases, the worst advice we got in training, what’s changed in how we use AI day-to-day, and the rituals that help us stay sharp.
