While doing an internship at the University of Southern Florida, however, he realized that following the Ph.D. route was not for him.

So he decided to make all the information about the ketogenic diet more accessible to the general population.  In this episode, Chris goes into the history of the ketogenic diet and explains how it evolved. He also talks about carbohydrates, reducing food cravings, and moving towards better metabolic health. Stay tuned for more!

In today's show, we are putting Chris Irvin in your passenger seat talking about the subjects of healthy living and the KETO diet. Before you tune out, think about the last three meals that you have had (assuming you didn't skip one) and ask yourself it what you ate was really the best for your body. There is no secret that the home services industry is a tough gig full of long hours, hard work, swing shifts and more; and all of these contribute to both breakdown in the body and unhealthy habits. It's time to get serious about not sure what you do and how you do it, but how long you can do it. Healthy eating is a great way to not only put you in a better mood for your clients and your family; but it can promote a lifestyle that will enable you to keep doing what you love for years to come. Chris Irvin, also known as the Ketologist, has written multiple books including “Keto Answers” and currently specializes in educating and researching low carb diets for health and human performance. Chris speaks into the “everyday life” of a service professional and what eating healthier can practically look.

On today's episode of the podcast, I catch up with Dr. Anthony Gustin.   We chat about everything from his recent trip to observe the Hadza tribe in Africa, the dangers of refined vegetable oils, misconceptions about carbohydrates and the keto diet, how we might not be able to return to our hunter/gatherer roots, but how we can reconnect and regenerate our connection with our health, land, and this planet, and more.   Dr. Gustin is a sports medicine clinician, the founder and CEO of Perfect Keto & Equip Foods, the host of The Natural State Podcast, and the author of the best-selling book, Keto Answers.   His youth on a farm in the midwest and personal health issues led him to this path to find optimal health for himself to inspire others to do the same. Through his new project, Joyfield Farm, he aims to set an example that farming can be done ethically, regeneratively, and most importantly: produce the most nutritious food humanly possible as sustainably as possible.   If you're interested in the intersection of our personal health and planetary health, give this episode a listen.   Learn more about Dr. Gustin on his website and be sure to follow him on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.
