Then, I happened to find a health and lifestyle transformation program called the WILDFIT® 90 Day Challenge.  As I learned and applied principles of behavioral psychology, nutritional anthropology, and metabolic health,  I found my body and mind transforming in remarkable ways.  My irritability and mid-afternoon energy slump and brain fog were gone, my joint pains went away, my clothes were fitting again, and I had to stop my medication because my blood pressure had normalized— I felt twenty years younger.  I had gained a true freedom around food.  And when I saw the health wins of many of my fellow participants, I decided to become a WILDFIT®  coach to share the life-changing benefits of the program with others. 

After becoming an independent certified WILDFIT coach, I pursued training to understand the strengths and flaws of decades of nutrition research,  the traditionally accepted conclusions, and the standard dietary guidelines  (where they align with the data and where they don’t), the evolution of our patterns of eating, the impact of the food manufacturing industry,  and the physiology of hyperinsulinemia/ metabolic syndrome--the root cause of many debilitating chronic conditions— and received accreditation from the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners.  

I strongly believe that the key to stemming the tide of the epidemic of chronic conditions is to help people understand and apply the principles I’ve learned to achieve incremental and sustainable lifestyle change in ways that the dietary guidelines,  conventional wisdom, and diet/fitness programs have failed.
