About this listen
In this inspiring episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex VanHouten sits down with Casey Ruff—longtime trainer, host of Boundless Body Radio, and outspoken advocate for low-carb, keto, and carnivore nutrition.
From his early days in the corporate gym world to building his own business during the chaos of 2020, Casey shares how a crisis pushed him to rethink health, career, and the way he serves clients. Casey opens up about his journey into ketogenic and carnivore eating, the science and case studies that convinced him, and the surprising mental health benefits—what he calls “carnivore zen.”
Together, Alex and Casey explore the deep connection between faith, discipline, and stewardship of the body, even when their traditions differ. This conversation goes beyond macros and reps. They discuss the “noob phase” of fitness, how to navigate the indoctrination of nutrition dogma, and the spiritual nature of helping others reclaim health.
From client success stories to reflections on resilience, this episode challenges you to consider not just what you eat or how you train—but why. Whether you’re curious about carnivore, looking for encouragement on your own health journey, or seeking to connect your physical stewardship with a deeper purpose, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
