A joyful rebellion is all about taking accountability for the decisions we make in our lives and doing the things necessary to live the life we want, not just the one we currently have.
We make so many choices over our lifetime, and some we see as major, like careers and relationships, while there are others we fool ourselves into believing are less significant. There’s no shortage of those, but today, we’re talking about the food we choose to eat.
My guest today is Coach Becker, a fat loss coach and creator of the Keto Code program. I first met Becker back in the early 2000s at a photo conference in Las Vegas. Since that time, I’ve watched him go through his own joyful rebellion by losing 100 pounds and creating a completely new life for himself, and if you listen to the full episode, I think you’ll agree that is no exaggeration.
I knew this would be an interview that could help those who might listen to it. What I didn’t realize is how much the conversation helped improve my own mindset around food and health in general.
Oh, and if you’re about to switch over to your favorite true crime podcast because you’re tired of hearing about the keto diet, you’re in luck. While it is mentioned a few times, it’s not the core message here.
This episode has been a long time coming, so let’s jump right in!
