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.

Episode 86 

Colin Dingelstad - Beyond Social Conditioning, Owner/Director - Swalmen, Netherlands   

“Just do something! Try something simple...celebrate it!”  -Colin Dingelstad   

In Episode 86, the Two Fit Crazies took a trip to the Netherlands! We wish!  Instead, we had a great interview via ZOOM with an amazing transformational coach by the name of Colin Dingelstad. Colin joined us live from Swalmen in the Netherlands to share his story and perspective about the current state of health and fitness. Colin, a very successful transformational coach and owner of Beyond Social Conditioning, first became interested in learning about successful habits and improving “the self” while reading self-help books as a teenager. Although his goal at the time was to score more dates, his passion for improving the quality of life for himself and others was long-lasting. In this episode, Colin revealed his own “secrets to success” by going “beyond social conditioning” with each of his clients. He asks them to reflect deeply about their life through analyzing their movement, health, mindset, and more.  While Colin speaks about the current state of fitness and health in the Netherlands and the U.K., his messages about the importance of laughing, smiling, and happiness, are universal!      

 

Enjoy!  Two Fit Crazies

Bart Yasso - The Mayor of Running - Episode 81

Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone

Episode 81 – Bart Yasso - The Mayor of Running

“Never limit where running can take you.” Bart Yasso

In Episode 81, the Two Fit Crazies had the honor of speaking with the great Bart Yasso. Affectionately known as the “Mayor of Running”, Bart goes deep into his journey and life in running. Recently retired after 21 years at Runner’s World where he held the title of Chief Running Officer, Bart takes us from his first run in “cutoff jeans and a Budweiser t-shirt” to the “world’s toughest footrace” through Death Valley to a 5k in a nudist colony. And an interview with Bart would never be complete without getting the lowdown on the famous workout created by and named for him – the Yasso 800s, stating that “There isn’t a day that someone doesn’t mention Yasso 800’s.”

Bart is an incredibly genuine person with a passion for running and life. It felt like we were old friends catching up after some time apart. An inspiration to all that cross his path, we hope that you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

 

Yours in Fitness (and running),

Brian and Christine – The Two Fit Crazies
