In this episode I speak with Tammi Kuthan who is a client of mine. She dives into how she's been alcohol free for over 130 days and how it has impacted her positively. She shares the benefit of hiring a coach and we discuss how we have worked together to find the perfect keto for her! 

A little bio on Tammi:

She is an entrepreneur and business woman who, alongside her husband, has successfully expanded the restaurant Doc Green’s Gourmet Salads & Grill, a healthier, fast-casual concept in the state of Kansas. Tammi’s passion has always been somewhere within the food industry. She loves cooking, whether inventing her own unique dishes or using fun recipes, and entertaining friends. Tammi often struggled to find a balance between indulgence and a healthy lifestyle and manageable weight, but when she discovered the Ketogenic diet in 2017, it was a game changer. Her body, spirit and mind have drastically transformed as she continues to feel and look healthy and happy, inside and out. She has mastered the art of enjoying a Keto clean diet and food to its highest level with her innovative cooking, and most importantly, doing it guilt free. Tammi has over 13,000 followers on Instagram, inspiring and influencing anyone who wants to live their best life one bite at a time.  Tammi follows the 90/10 rule and tries to eat clean keto 90% of the time. She makes going to the gym a priority and believes consistency is key to living a healthy life and maintaining her weightloss. In addition to owning Doc Green’s, Tammi is co-owner of Delish Girls Keto and hopes to start selling thier low-carb granola online very soon.

In this episode, I speak with Mike Gorman also know as gormy_goes_keto on Instagram. He shares his powerful story on how he's lost 300 pounds twice in his lifetime and how he came to keto. He shares all of the struggles he dealt with while being over weight and how he's completely turned his life around. Gormy is an inspiring individual who hopes that by sharing his story, he can help change the lives of others. He says, " The magic of my way of life now isn't the weight loss, but the true sense of control over food and my body that it has given to me. I am no longer a slave to my appetite but feel hopeful that I am building a life that centers on more than my next meal."

In today's episode, I speak with David Webb also known as dj_carnivoreketo on Instagram. He is 32 years old and a father of two beautiful children, Whitlea (6) and Wyatt (3) He has been married for 9 years to his wife Nikki. He currently serves on Active Duty in the United States Air Force. He has been practicing a Ketogenic Lifestyle for the past two years and most recently switched over to a more Carnivore approach in the past 7 months.  The reason he started Keto in the first place was to simply just try another diet. What he did not know is that it would later help with the eating disorders that he has struggled with for the past 10 years. He recently just opened up about this struggles with eating disorders and body dysmorphia but feels keto has helped in so many ways and wants to spread the word to those who may need to hear and learn from what he's been through.

This episode is also another talk fro the Low Carb Cruise. One given by Kim Howerton on Habit Change! I loved this talk and it was honestly my favorite talk! Kim struggled with food and weight since she 8 years old. Raised in the low fat diet culture of the 1980’s and 90’s, a time when we were constantly told, “Eat less and exercise more!” was the solution to all our woes. Decades of struggle left her sure there was no solution besides acceptance of what is. But all that changed when she found Keto, and all the health gains she thought were out of her grasp became her reality. Already a successful life coach, she added Keto to her toolbox and watched so many people have the kinds of transformations (inside and out) that they’d almost given up hope seeing.
