DR. JONNY BOWDEN

  • In his 40s, he got the nutrition and fitness bug.
  • He had a masters in psychology, so always liked learning more.
  • He got super into working out, became certified by various methods to become a personal trainer.
  • An Equinox gym hired him after he hung around and worked on himself enough.
  • He was a low fat, calorie guy for a long time.
    • The certifying organizations really sold him these lies.
  • However, then Jonny heard about Atkins.
    • Some of his clients tried it and he saw how it actually worked.
      • They were thinner, lower blood pressure, and more.
        • He had cognitive dissonance and he needed to figure out how that worked.
  • Jonny began thinking: What if what we’ve been taught is simply not true?

THE NUTRITION MYTH BUSTER

  • Dr. Bowden now understands that low carb is the way to go.
  • You can’t outrun or out-exercise a bad diet.
  • Because Jonny became so interested in all of this, he ended up getting a PhD in nutrition!

  • Eating low carb strengthens your immune system.
    • You build your house by eating well.
      • He isn’t insulin resistant, he doesn’t have metabolic disease.
        • This is huge for your ability to beat viruses like coronavirus.
  • Real food in its real form is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in Dr. Bowden’s opinion.
    • If you’re doing this, you’ll eat way fewer carbs and more fat as it happens.
