Marty is doing groundbreaking work in understanding how and why we eat. The information he is gathering and analyzing is showing us that our bodies are smarter than we give them credit for and if we learn to listen we'll be far better off. The more research Marty does, the further away we get from dogmatic adherence to a single principle and the closer we get to achieving the optimal human diet.  Marty's new book!

I want to introduce you to my Mom. She's 66 years old, does CrossFit, and follows a carnivore lifestyle.  She deadlifts 160 lbs, loves lifting weights, and enjoys a steak as much as the next guy.  She has reversed osteoporosis and been able to reduce thyroid medication as well.   If she can do these things, so can you!!

Now a website as well, The Keto Athlete is a hobby and a passion side-project where she gets to share information and geek out with other curious fitness freaks.   Jocelyn is living proof that much of the nutrition dogma being perpetuated by the fitness community is incorrect.  Website: https://www.theketoathlete.org/Instagram: @theketoathlete

Jaime discovered her passion for nutrition shortly after her first child was born. She started to become more mindful of what her family was eating. She jumped at any opportunity to learn more about nutrition and wellness. She took classes, read books, researched, experimented, and began making big changes in the kitchen. She and her husband started to experience positive changes in their own health: boosts in energy, clearer skin, weight loss, and more. Her husband who had been suffering from debilitating migraines for years was for the first time pain-free.   She got certified as an NTP through the Nutritional Therapy Association so that she could help others who wanted to make better food choices for themselves and their families.  Website: https://www.jaimebrookewellness.com/Instagram: @jaimebrookewellness
