I am blessed to have Larry and Kay Lynne Diamond with me today. Larry has achieved 120 pounds of weight loss and has reversed his metabolic syndrome and sleep apnea through intermittent fasting and a real, whole-food diet. Larry is currently off all medications and has radically improved his health and that of his wife and daughter.

In this episode, Larry and Kay Lynne Diamond join the show to talk about the success that they have had with embracing lifestyle changes. Combined, Larry and Kay Lynne have lost 190 pounds through eating real foods, ditching seed oils, and fasting. Their relationship has improved, and they have experienced other health benefits. Larry dives deep into why feasting is just as important as fasting. Tune in as we chat about encouraging your partner to make lifestyle changes and why we should consider the diets of early hunter-gatherer human ancestors.
