Welcome to Protecting Your Nest with Dr. Tony Hampton. Russ Mitchell is a self-described "certified idiot, clown, moron and whatever other adjectives you can use to describe a person that loves to act a fool." His goal is to make people laugh more and "learn to shine a light that can show others the way." Recently, especially through his YouTube Channel (Homesick Buckeye), he has been shining a light on the ketogenic diet. His videos cover his own personal health journey and share the message of low-carb in a most hilarious fashion.

• (02:53) The aim of Russ' YouTube Channel (Homesick Buckeye)
• (08:03) Why Russ transitioned from vegetarianism to carnivore/ketovore
• (21:34) Support from family and understanding the difficulties of being obese
