In this episode, I tell you about who I am and why I’m qualified to discuss the topics that we will cover over the course of the show. Growing up, I experimented with a chemistry set my grandfather gave me and would even formulate different compounds in my mother’s kitchen. I received my bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University in Biochemistry and received a Ph.D. at Colorado State in Organic Chemistry, which school is in the top 10 of the country for Organic Chemistry. I later became a professor at a small liberal arts university and had the top instructor ratings for 2 years straight. I have formulated over 70 nutritional supplements that grow over 500 million in sales annually and I have developed and patented useful tools for the medical community. Several years ago I was overweight and unhealthy, talking to people about how to be healthy, but not being healthy myself. I had a moment of realization, came up with a diet and exercise plan for myself, and lost 75 lbs in the course of 12 months, and I’ve kept that weight off for over 6 years.
