Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joe and Rachel. They are happily married with three wonderful boys: John Paul, Anthony, and Caleb. After years of trying every type of weight loss plan you can think of, from severe calorie restriction to CrossFit, they decided to try the ketogenic lifestyle. Thankful for the opportunity to look forward to a happy and healthy future with their three adult sons, Joe and Rachel are excited to share their keto journey and hopefully encourage other families to change their diet and change their lives. After discovering the keto diet in 2017 and experiencing life-changing health results, Joe and Rachel made it their mission to share their testimony with as many people as possible. Their great hope is to encourage others who have experienced lifelong weight struggles and medical concerns. It is a game changer for their family to learn first-hand that diagnoses like morbid obesity, diabetes, arthritis, digestive issues, and chronic pain don’t have to be a life sentence. Joe and Rachel want you and your family to experience improved health. In this episode, Rachel and Joe open the show by speaking about their past health problems, including a lifetime of obesity, chronic pain, arthritis, acne, plantar fasciitis, and migraines. After trying a ketogenic lifestyle, Rachel and Joe stopped their symptoms and completely changed their health and mental wellbeing. You’ll hear Rachel and Joe give tips on getting your significant other to try a ketogenic lifestyle.

One day, Joe decided to look into keto. After trying keto, Joe immediately dropped twenty pounds in the first month. Joe lost eighty pounds after six months of keto. Plus, Joe no longer needed to take painkillers and arthritis pills on the keto diet. [06:20] Dieting for Decades: The Keto Lifestyle Is a Game-Changer for Rachel Rachel had been obese her entire life, and she had been dieting for decades. It was challenging for Rachel to make friends; she was teased a lot at school. Rachel thought the only way to maintain success was calorie restriction. Eventually, Rachel reduced her calories to 500 a day. Once Rachel tried keto, her plantar fasciitis, migraines, and acne were all gone. Plus, she finally had sustainable weight loss. [12:55] Struggling With Emotional Battles and Working On Self-Love Joe still looks in the mirror and sees the 300-pound Joe. One thing Joe tells himself is that the scale is the devil and the mirror is a liar. Even after losing weight, Joe has an emotional battle when he looks in the mirror. After decades of being so hard on ourselves, we have to do strength training in positivity. We falsely believe that we can love others and just skip that step of loving ourselves. In reality, we need to put energy into loving ourselves. [18:00] How to Get Your Significant Other on Board With a Ketogenic Lifestyle People don’t get on board with keto because they think it’s another fad diet. Don’t try and push your significant other. Instead, lead by example. Make sure to come from a place of love. Joe was passionate about keto, so he cooked all the meals. That way, Rachel would jump on board. People must come on board when they are ready for keto. Otherwise, the lifestyle will never work. [33:05] Looking for Support? Find Community With 2 Krazy Ketos Joe and Rachel wanted to devise a way to talk to one another without bringing up the children. So, Joe wanted to start a YouTube channel. They make YouTube videos about what they eat and how they lost weight with keto. Eventually, Joe and Rachel started a community space, and they love facilitating community wherever they go.
