Hi, I'm Richard Morris from Canberra, Australia.

In 2014, I was very sick with complications from type 2 diabetes.

After taking the dietary advice of the Australian Diabetes Association, I became more diabetic.

Oh no.

This research, which led me to the ketogenic diet, long story short, I reversed my top 2 diabetes.

In 2016, I was determined to help my body cowl by showing what I did and the science behind it.

Hey, that's me.

I'm Carl Franklin from the United States, and I also used to be a type 2 diabetic, but not as severely as Richard.

I devoured all the information Richard sent me, and after a mutual friend went keto to address prostate cancer, I also went on the ketogenic diet.

That was February of 2016.

By April, I was already reversing my diabetes.

Yeah, we started a podcast called Two Keto Dudes to Chronicle Carl's Journey, and provide some information to those who are curious about this dietary lifestyle.

Yep, and now we have over 200 podcast episodes, and some of them have been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times.

We also have an online community of tens of thousands of people who have followed us and changed their own lives.

We also founded an annual conference festival called KetoFest, Carl and I are software developers.

As such, we found ourselves at software conferences several times a year.

We really gravitate toward the conversations that happen in the hallways at a conference.

Sure, the talks are great, but it's the community that we enjoy the most.

So KetoFest is a conference to discuss the latest research of ketogenic diets, but it's also a festival celebrating the lifestyle of ketogenic dieting.

Right, so Richard, what is a ketogenic diet?

It's a diet where instead of burning sugar and starch for energy, my cells preferentially burn fat.

When my cells burn fat, that process produces molecules called ketones to fuel my brain.
