As someone who has self-experimented with most very diet at least for some time, it’s always intriguing to talk to someone who found something that truly works for them!  Enter Eric (spelled the right way)!  Retired LEO, who, through keto/carnivore approach reversed his metabolic issues and is now thriving!

We chat diet, but truly go much farther into lifestyle, service, trauma, and purpose - as he took an unconventional path to not only self-healing, but assisting and fostering recovery in others through community!

Eric Reynolds, aka "KetoFiveO," embodies resilience and transformation. After a distinguished law enforcement career and surviving a harrowing gunfight with an armed suspect, Eric faced and overcame significant challenges, including PTSD, heart disease, and other metabolic issues. He achieved an impressive 80-pound weight loss and now champions metabolic health, especially for first responders, through KetoFiveO Sports Nutrition. 

As a Licensed Primary Sports Nutritionist, Health Advocate, and Personal Trainer, Eric is committed to promoting wellness.  Eric’s family legacy is deeply rooted in law enforcement, with his mother, June Hawkins, and stepfather, Al Singleton, featured in Netflix’s Griselda. His mission extends through “Cops and Campers,” a non-profit providing a sanctuary for first responders to heal amidst nature. 

In a remarkable personal journey, Eric through DNA reconnected with his long-lost brother, Dave Stull, a fellow police officer. This new relationship inspired Eric to embrace a full-time RV lifestyle, traveling the country with his family while homeschooling his kids, working on farms, and volunteering in the communities they visit. This lifestyle enriches their lives and reflects Eric’s unwavering commitment to service and community.  Eric’s story is one of service, advocacy, and resilience, serving as a beacon of hope for all.
