Episode #327 with Robin Switzer of KetCon - a podcast by Debbie Potts

Robin Switzer is my guest today to talk about her story, her why and - “KetoCon - The Science and Stories of Keto”

Robin Switzer discovered the Low Carb & Ketogenic Lifestyle after many years of struggle with pre-diabetes, PCOS, depression, anxiety, food addiction and disordered eating. As a result of following a low carb/ketogenic protocol, Robin lost 60 pounds and eliminated many of her health issues.  In 2015, Robin left her career in corporate America to join Ketovangelist, LLC and their mission to educate the world about the benefits of living a Ketogenic Lifestyle. Robin now serves as the COO at Ketovangelist, which is the parent company of KetoCon, Ballistic Keto, Certified Ketogenic, Ketovangelist Kitchen, The Ketogenic Athlete and Ketovangelist Coaching. 

Today, at 57 years young, Robin follows a predominantly meat-based diet, combined with a naturally evolved Intermittent Fasting protocol.  The combination of these modalities has provided everything she needs maintain the pace of her demanding career and her desire for an active, vibrant lifestyle. She works tirelessly to bring research backed and results driven information to the ketogenic community.   

 

What is her Passion, Purpose, Mission ?  “I am passionate about nutrition, movement and meditation, all with the goal of graceful and illness free aging. I feel responsible for sharing this information with as many people as possible and have made it my mission to do so, through events like KetoCon.”

Movement - Walking, Running, Yoga, Body Weight and Free Weights.  Intentions/Planning - Part of my morning routine. Setting intentions for the day and being mindful throughout the day so I don’t get wrapped up in the crazies… Reflection/Wins - I make note of my thoughts, reflections and recognize even the smallest of wins each evening in my journal.  In addition, I eat very clean, whole food.
