Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Chris S. Cornell’s story begins at a turning point in his life. At the age of 51, he found himself at a weight of 278 pounds, facing the realization that his health was spiraling out of control. Years of consuming foods that undermined his well-being had taken their toll. Even simple tasks, like climbing a flight of stairs, left him gasping for air. It was at this critical moment that Chris decided to take action and find a solution that would change his life forever. In his search for answers, Chris discovered the transformative power of a low-carb lifestyle. Inspired by Gary Taubes' book, "Why We Get Fat," he experienced a lightbulb moment while reading about how carbohydrates produce different effects in the body compared to proteins or fats. This newfound understanding ignited a spark of confidence within Chris—a belief that this could finally be the last weight loss journey of his life.
In this conversation, Dr. Brian and Chris talk about…
How Chris’ personal health journey led him to low carb Chris’ cancer diagnosis and how his dietary change aided his recovery Running, exercise, and nutrition The endurance athlete mentality Ultra-running and preparing for marathons Chris’ recent dietary experiment with Joel Bikman’s meal replacement shake, HLTH Code Why a ‘weight loss at all costs’ mentality is not necessarily healthy Chris’ upcoming and current pursuits in the realm of nutrition and coachingFor more information, please see the links below.

She began her own journey towards health and wellness in July, 2020, after years of unhealthy living and even more unhealthy relationships with food and exercise.

Having experience and knowledge and making proactive, healthy changes has resulted in significant healing in almost all other aspects of life as well.
