Before turning into a fitness star and nutritional therapy practitioner, today’s guest, Emily Schromm, struggled with acne and gut problems for years.

Growing up, Emily seemed to be doing everything right: she took ulcer medication, acne medication, exercised regularly, and ate a diet full of veggies, protein, whole grains, and full-fat dairy — but neither her skin nor her gut ever really healed.

It wasn’t until she tried the paleo diet that she noticed a dramatic improvement. The high fat approach had healed her gut, which in turn banished her acne for good — something that prescriptions or birth control never could.

Her health transformation didn’t stop there.

As she transitioned from a paleo to a ketogenic diet, she was able to fix her adrenals to maximize her energy and improve her mental health.

Her journey was full of experimentation: she tinkered with paleo and keto to find the right macros for peak performance, she tested a low-fat approach, and most importantly, she developed a profound self-awareness of her mind and body to find what really works for her.

Join me as I sit down with Emily to talk about her health journey, how to learn to listen to your body, and why a high fat diet might be just what you need to cure gut and energy imbalances.
