Welcome to Protecting Your Nest with Dr. Tony Hampton. Daniel Trevor is a citizen scientist and serial entrepreneur who has created several start-up businesses, including a high-tech CTI (computer-telephony integration) company that grew to over 300 employees. Being familiar with analyzing technical data throughout his life, he was comfortable taking a dive into medical and nutritional science to reverse his heart disease after a surprising heart attack. Lean and symptom-free, he thought he was "Mr. Healthy." In reality, he was an undiagnosed Type 2 diabetic, which was the cause of his undiagnosed heart disease, fatty liver disease, and osteoporosis. Using the research in his How-to book, he was able to reverse all four silent conditions. He is also the Founder & CEO of NutraNuva Anti-Aging Science.
