Speaking of collaborative, our guest organized two well-attended dinners. If that wasn't enough, he did it all again this year.

Intro: (Natalie) Tonight, we're excited to welcome an author and content creator with an incredible journey. At 16, he faced severe, undiagnosed symptoms that left him floor-bound for over a year, stumping doctors. Frustrated, he turned to self-education. His persistence revealed his condition: cranio-cervical instability (CCI). A skull-spine instability from weak ligaments or trauma that causes severe pain and neurological issues. Now, driven by moral duty, he cuts through modern health myths with a sharp, unapologetic style on YouTube, grabbing attention to empower his audience. He's here to educate us on nutrition and urge people to take charge of their health, exposing the flaws in our medical system.Please welcome Edward Goeke.Find Eddie:YouTubePatreon“Contraindicated" Book Find Natalie's information here:LinkTreeFind Robyn's information here:Harbinger of HealthLinkTreeFind Scott's information here:LinkTreeAdditional Resources Mentioned:Crossfit Impulse Article "Why Grains Are Killing You"Whole 30 Dr. GundryCaring Medical Florida: YouTube ‪Dave AspryDr. Paul Salidno (Instagram)Professor Bart Kay ‪Paul Saladino and Thomas DeLauer WRONG on the interwebsEddie Goeke - Mini Me?@lessofmestories YouTube, X, Instagram

Less Of Me Success Stories E26 streamed live on YouTube on December 5, 2024Intro: (Robyn) I started to see tonight's guest online a year or two ago. Since then, we have become friends. Like many of us, once she found the benefits of eating low-carb, she felt the desire to help others. Now I see her helping others with tips and useful feedback, always willing to offer encouragement. When I first asked her to come on the show, she said that she didn't have much of a story. I disagree. I think what she does on a daily basis is harder than what I do, but I'll let her tell the story.

Our next guest is someone that many likely aren't aware of. I have posted pics of her on the NSNG® Facebook group page a few times bragging about her. Her success has been flying under the radar for a while now, but I convinced her to share her story with us. Please don't hold this against her but our guest is a personal friend of mine and perhaps the only person who has ever asked for my advice and really used it. Sometimes people just quietly put in the work without bringing attention to themselves and then you run into them and they blow your mind.

Less of Me Success Stories Episode 5 with Tim Mallien originally streamed live on Feb 15, 2024 Less Of Me Success StoriesIntro:(Robyn) I was first introduced to tonight's guest because, as an admin in a private Facebook group, I had to remove one of his posts. He had decided to write a blog about his decision to change his way of eating in order to lose weight, and that wasn't allowed in the forum. My advice was to take his story to Twitter, which must have worked because the blogging stopped and the interaction started. We've all been able to follow along on our guest's up and down journey. He's here to give us an update on how things are going nearly 2 years later.Tim shares the depression he endured after being sidelined by injury. While his fitness routine is different now, he has managed to change his outlook in order to see progress.
