About David Childress

I want to be a loud voice in the movement towards good metabolic health. Our education system suffers because of poor nutrition; so too does our military, health care system, law enforcement, government and absolutely every facet of our lives.

Just because you are thin doesn't mean you are metabolically healthy and just because you are overweight doesn't mean you are metabolically unhealthy. I have been overweight by as much as 35 pounds and understand what it is like to eat hedonically instead of nutritionally. I have quit smoking, quit drinking and have even tried to quit putting my foot in my mouth (still working it). Eating had to change for me.

I graduated UF with a degree in "Food Science & Human Nutrition with a minor in Chemistry" and it was all useless. I am not joking. I learned all of the biochemistry, microbiology, genetics and blah blah blah. Until I understood how we ate before the Standard American Diet (SAD) I could make no effective changes.
