Sober is Dope!

In this episode of the Sober is Dope podcast, POP Buchanan shares his inspiring journey of losing 40 pounds to achieve better health. Facing a rare condition called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, POP was motivated to become as healthy as possible. He reversed pre-diabetes, addressed low testosterone, and shed excess weight through practical tips and life hacks that accelerated his progress.
