In 2014, I watched my father die of Type 2 diabetes.
I did everything the doctors told us to do:
I drove him to every appointment. I filled every prescription. I stocked his kitchen with the foods they recommended.
And yet, I watched him slowly waste away: one medication, one complication, one symptom at a time.
Eventually, a stroke left him paralyzed and unable to speak.
Nine months later, he passed away in hospice.
I was angry.
Not just with the system—but with myself.
Because I followed the rules. And the rules failed him.
After he died, I buried myself in the research. What I found both broke my heart and ignited my mission: What killed my father was entirely preventable.
But no one ever told us that.
Not once did a doctor mention that Type 2 diabetes is driven by cellular inflammation—not just high blood sugar.
Not once did they investigate the toxins, the medications, or the root causes.
They just told us how to manage it.
So I made myself a promise:
I would never let someone else lose a parent to this disease if I could help it.
Back in 2008, I was 24 years old and 80 pounds overweight.
Depressed. Pre-diabetic. Inflamed. On my way to the same fate as my father.
I transformed my health that year, releasing 80 pounds and stepping into a new path. But even then, I didn’t understand diabetes.
Not until it hit home.
Not until I watched it take my dad.
People started calling me “The Health Detective” because I refuse to stop at surface symptoms. I dig deeper—into dysfunction, into root causes, into what’s really going on beneath the surface. I believe in education over medication, and that your body was built to heal—if you know how to support it.
With over 17 years in the health world, I’ve founded Keto Kamp, authored five bestselling books (including my latest, Metabolic Freedom, a New York Times Bestseller), and built a global platform dedicated to helping people reclaim their health—starting at the cellular level.
Partnering with Dr. Pompa helped me uncover one of the most overlooked root causes of Type 2 diabetes: diabetogens—hidden toxins that inflame your cells and block your hormones from doing their job. That discovery became the foundation of Cellular Metabolic, and it’s what fuels my mission to help 1 million people reverse Type 2 diabetes through the world’s largest case study.
What started with my own healing journey—and the loss of my father—has become a global movement.
My podcast, The Metabolic
Freedom Podcast, now ranks in the top 15 worldwide and was named Keto Podcast of the Year by The Metabolic Health Summit. My YouTube channel has reached over 664,000 subscribers, and my TikTok videos have amassed over 50 million views, helping people around the world learn ancient healing strategies like keto, fasting, and detox—without the fluff.
I’ve spoken on some of the biggest stages in health, including KetoCon 2022, 2023, and 2024, and my work has been featured in Forbes, LA Weekly, NYT Magazine, and more.
But none of that matters as much as this:
If I can help you take back control of your health—then I’m doing what I was put here to do.
Cellular Metabolic was born out of pain, but it exists for your transformation.
We exist to help free 1 million people by addressing the real cause most health systems ignore:
Toxic, hormone-blocking cellular inflammation.
We’re not here to help you manage diabetes.
We’re here to help you leave it behind—and never look back.
Since launching this mission, I’ve watched thousands of people step into healing.
People who were told it wasn’t possible.
People who were stuck, scared, and overwhelmed.
People just like my dad.
They’re now off medication.
They’re vibrant, energized, clear-headed.
And best of all, they finally feel in control.
You were designed to heal.
