In his book Guy Gone Keto he details an essential wellness program that will keep you fit and healthy for life. Despite being very successful, the classic definition of success (lots of money) is not what inspires and motivates Thom. His philosophy is “you aren’t doing well unless you’re also doing good.” Thom is the founder and CEO of Steviva Brands Inc., one of the largest importers, manufacturers, and distributors of natural sweeteners. Thom has made it his life’s work to study food science and use his knowledge to help people eat healthier, avoid harmful sugars, and maintain diet and exercise habits that defeat metabolic disease. His company, based in Portland, Oregon, derives its name from stevia, the South American plant extract that is calorie-free yet three hundred times sweeter than sugar, and does not contribute to the combination of metabolic diseases that Thom calls “diabesity.” Links Guy Gone Keto Guy Gone Keto Book Icon Foods Thom King Steviva Brands on Instagram You May Also Like Ep 36 Glenn Livingston – Never Binge Again Ep 32 Jeremy Abramson – Stand Up 2 Sitting Movement & Owning Your Morning Ep 21 – Jason Goldberg – Breaking Out of Prison and Finding Joy The post Ep 38 – Thom King – The Keto Guy on Serving with Purpose and Sweetness appeared first on Purpose Up.
