Thom King - CEO and Chief Food Scientist, ICON Foods/Author, Guy Gone Keto - Episode 172

Episode 172 - Thom King - CEO and Chief Food Scientist, ICON Foods/Author, Guy Gone Keto

“I look at what I do as more of a cause than as a business.”

“The process took years...I look back at the successes versus the challenges...the challenges

are when I learned the most...I am super grateful for those.”

- Thom King

In Episode 172, the Two Fit Crazies have an amazing conversation with Thom King, “part CEO,

part personal development wonk and part biohacker info geek.” Joining the show from

Portland, Oregon, Thom discusses his journey to become a “serial entrepreneur,” founding

multiple companies and authoring a book. Currently the CEO and Chief Food Scientist at

ICON Foods, Thom reveals how a fortuitous run in with an “OG” of Stevia led to his

fascination and eventual success dissecting and re-creating great tasting foods using

clean-label sweetening systems to replace sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup. In addition

to working with major food and beverage companies around the world, Thom’s personal

Ketogenic lifestyle inspired him to share his knowledge and experiences with the world

through his book, Guy Gone Keto. Although the word “Guy” appears in the title, Thom

reassures listeners that the message is universal: “you must eat to live, not live to eat.”

Through his passion for creating foods that offer less sugar and carbs per serving, Thom talks

about his current line of condiments and his current project of creating healthier and

Keto-friendly cocktails such as: Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Manhattan’s, and Christine’s

personal favorite, the Cosmopolitan. Do not be surprised when she asks if taste testers are

needed! You are going to love this episode packed with tons of laughs and surprising

information about what is in your food!

Episode 143 - Medical Fitness Tour 2020 Recap - Christine & Brian Rally for Doctors to Prescribe Fitness & Nutrition 

“We all share the same mission; we want to improve the quality of peoples’ lives through movement and nutrition. Let’s shift the paradigm!” -Christine

In Episode 143, Brian and Christine reunite for a powerful conversation about shifting the paradigm that exists between the current state of medical professionals and fitness professionals around the world.  Christine talks about her recent trip to lecture at the Medical Fitness National Conference at the University of Irvine and discusses her trademarked facial fitness and rehabilitation program, Let’s FACE It Together™.  Both Brian and Christine elaborate on some of the latest research and studies to support the collaboration of both professions. While the traditional doctor “treats problems,” the fitness professional is interested in preventing problems and reducing the onset of diseases.  Let’s geek out on the research and studies that prove a healthy diet that includes movement will naturally lead you to live a more quality life! If you have yet to hear about the MedFit Network and Education Foundation, a non-profit organization spearheaded by Lisa Dougherty, it’s time to check it out and join the movement.

Chandler Walker - Stone Age Fuel/"Chanslogic"/Culture of Care - Episode 89

Episode 89 

Chandler Walker - Stone Age Fuel/“Chanslogic”/Culture of Care     

 “The one thing that people will never forget is how you make them feel.”  -Chandler Walker   

In Episode 89, the Two Fit Crazies had a blast with Chandler Walker who “ZOOMed” in from a very cold and windy Reno, Nevada. Chandler, the mastermind behind “Chanslogic,” the founder of Stone Age Fuel, and the creator of Culture of Care, shares his amazing story of how growing up with 5 sisters and a degree in biochemistry and microbiology lead him to be a self-proclaimed “Health Detective.” In college, Chandler made startling discoveries about what was “really” in the supplements being offered to the public and traveled the nation giving seminars revealing the truth behind the labels. Chandler, now compelled to educate the masses, created his 5 Pillars of health to help his largely female-based clientele take action and take control of their lives. Through Chandler’s 8-week courses that focus on cognitive behavior therapy and an in-depth approach to disrupt unhealthy behaviors, he is making huge waves in the health and fitness industry!     

Enjoy!
