0:00.0 | Hey guys, so I'm sitting here with Wes Okersten who you probably remember from episode 14 of the podcast. |
0:15.0 | When we talked all about ketosis and exogenous ketones, ketogenic diet, all that kind of stuff, we also talked about the fact that he is a celebrity trainer here in Los Angeles, even if he hates that term. |
0:28.3 | It's just true. He's a fantastic trainer who I'm going to start training with next week. I'm so excited because everybody who listens to this podcast knows that I have solely been doing yoga for like eight months, but I've dabbled in all sorts of things orange theory fitness, which I still love running marythons, which I will definitely do again. |
0:51.3 | And so I just kind of hop around and I listen to my body and I do what feels good for me. So while I was in Bora Bora last week, which when you guys listen to this will have been a couple weeks. |
1:03.3 | I worked out with a trainer almost every day. We just did like low intensity stuff, but I felt like I was getting stronger and I feel like it could actually really help me with some of my goals in my yoga practice with inversions and that kind of stuff. |
1:18.3 | So we'll see how that goes. I think it's going to be really fun. And Wes and I have gotten to be good friends over the last couple months of knowing each other. |
1:28.3 | We met through our mutual friend Kelly Lovac, who has been on this podcast a lot. So you guys probably have heard, be well from Kelly. She's my nutritionist, my neighbor, my friend. |
1:41.3 | She introduced me to this fabulous product, keto OS, which is a keto operating system. You guys will hear all about it in today's episode, because we interviewed the CEO Brian Underwood, which we're going to talk about in a second. |
1:55.3 | But I just briefly want to do explain how I started taking the product and what I like about it, because I've gotten so many questions, because of course I share so much of my life on my blog and my Instagram and literally everywhere, everywhere that you could possibly find a person because I like to share my life. |
2:13.3 | And you know, I've gotten some questions from people asking, do you think you're being obsessive about this the way that you were obsessive with veganism and I just want to explain myself before I roll my eyes about it, because I just it just pains me deep inside when people think that they know everything that a person eats or that they kind of have the right to assume or past judgment on someone's lifestyle. |
2:40.3 | When you don't necessarily have the answers to any of the questions that you have. So I figured I would just answer that while we're here and while we're talking about the subject, because I've always been the kind of person who gets really passionate about specific things that I find in the wellness world that really work for me right now. |
2:59.3 | Right now, some of those things are vital proteins collagen peptides vital proteins beef liver you guys can read all about that on my blog. And also this keto OS product and eating a really high fat diet low carb and I just feel really good. |
3:15.3 | So that's kind of what I'm focused on is fueling my body with the proper nutrients feeling really good doing is more low intensity workouts that I've been really into lately and I can definitely say I haven't felt this good in a very long time. |
3:30.3 | So I'm just going to keep doing what works for me and in terms of people out there who have asked whether I'm eating enough or whether this product is replacing my meals. |
3:41.3 | I'm eating a lot I'm eating a high fat diet tons of avocados and coconut butter and smoothies and fish and chicken and meat and all that good stuff tons of vegetables. |
3:53.3 | So I don't feel like I have to defend my diet, but I just want everybody to know that I feel really healthy and really balanced and really good and I think that's really all I have to say on that subject also it's 201 this is crazy this always happens it's 201 which is I don't know if you know this my lucky number was like my most crazy lucky number this is this happens all the time when I'm recording the intro for the podcast I love it. |
4:18.3 | So anyways, I don't want that to sound defensive at all I just want it to be an explanation as to why I like to share this kind of stuff with you because when I discover a product that I think works really well I obviously want to share it for other people in hopes that you guys could feel great from it too. |
4:35.3 | So I discovered the keto OS product through Kelly my friend and nutritionist she was taking somebody who happens to be Chelsea handler on a wellness trip to Santa Barbara. |
4:47.3 | I went to teach them yoga and hang out for the day Kelly gave me some keto OS that her and Chelsea were drinking. |
4:53.3 | I fell in love felt amazing Kelly ended up introducing me to Wes who's the person who showed her the product so I'm sitting here with Wes I might as well have him say hello and introduce Brian who is our guest today so here's Wes. |
5:10.3 | Awesome thanks so much Jordan yeah it's kind of crazy because Kelly and I both kind of jumped aboard around the same time. |
5:18.3 | And I've loved this product since the first day I ever took it it gave me like basically more energy than I've ever had. |
