Hello everyone, my name is Michael and I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been a bit of a lurker up to this point, currently I am about 50 episodes in to 2KD podcast with only 22 left to listen to. I was introduced to all this from Joe Rogan’s podcast with his guest Mark Sisson and became enamoured with the science. Following that podcast I have heard about Keto everywhere and went searching for a podcast about it, that is when I found 2 Keto Dudes.

I have been Keto for maybe a few months but have really only committed myself about the last 2 months. I am 29 and like lots of people have strugged with my weight since high school. At my largest I was 330 pounds at 6 ft tall. Currently I am around 220 pounds, I did not lose all this weight with Keto, but Keto is where I ended up landing and what I believe in.

My greatest NSV is I no longer have high blood pressure, which I always had growing up and runs very strong in my family. Another neat NSV is that I no longer snore when sleeping on my back, and its really nice not to get nudged by my wife to roll over anymore :grin:. I do Keto because I believe in the science, and the common sense of it all.

I am married to my wonderful wife who isn’t Keto but is not skeptical of this and always trusts in my judgement and my intense desire to study every nook and cranny of my obsessions, including this. I have 2 daughters, a 16 month girl and a 6 year old girl.

My goal here is to get involved and intertwined into a community of like minded people who have the same goals as me, such as giving my little family and I the best health possible and prevent future illness and disease. From there I plan on slowly introducing the science to the rest of my family, a lot of whom have a vast array of health issues that I know are all due to diet.

I am excited to make new friends and nerd out about some Keto science and recipes! Tonight I made my first fathead pizza and it was everything you all say it is! Ill never go back! I will be posting about that shortly after I post this. Thank you all for being such an awesome support structure for all of us who need it! Looking forward to making my contributions!
