He is the founder of Keto Kamp, an education and coaching platform that has changed the lives of thousands of individuals.

Since Ben is such a well-rounded educator, this episode covers a ton of different areas of his expertise. We start off by breaking down seed oils, why they are important to cut out of our diets, and how to do so. Ben even gives us some new data that further supports this idea which may just be what it takes to make you decide to cut these toxic oils out forever. Download his seed oil allergy card here!

Ben and I also discuss the toll travel can have on our bodies and some of the best ways to mitigate its effects and reduce the side effects. This naturally leads into a conversation about EMFs where Ben shares some of the mindblowing anecdotal research he and his colleagues have done on EMFs and Apple AirPods.

Fasting is another area Ben is an expert in so we get a little into fasting, the role it can play in digestive health, and how we could all benefit from spacing our meals out regardless of whether or not we are on a fasting regimen.

Ben and I finish up this episode talking about a "vitamin" Ben believes much of our society is deficient in: Vitamin G with the G standing for gratitude. Ben presents what may be surprising to many, a scientific breakdown of the robust physiological benefits gratitude can have on your mind and body, and discusses how he incorporates gratitude into his life.
