Fire lunches suck, but there's a reason for it... Today on the show, I have Kyle Kamp from Valley to Peak Nutrition to discuss!

Show Notes

Today on the show, I have Kyle Kamp from Valley to Peak Nutrition to discuss fire lunches, why nutrition is key to performance, and talk about the long term health effects of our diets...

Kyle is a Registered Dietician, hailing from Boise, Idaho, Where he specializes in fueling mountain athletes with Nutrition Plans, Meal Planning, Nutrition Analysis, and Consultation for their adventures... Has also got a pretty awesome story about how he turned his life completely around with diet and exercise...

"A day in December of 2008 changed the course of my life. I was 21 years old, weighed 270 pounds, and found myself experiencing chest pains from the strenuous activity of… opening Christmas presents. I knew my life had to change.

 

Over the next year I engulfed myself in learning about nutrition and exercise, and I watched the scale drop more than 140 pounds — more than half my body weight.  As exciting as it was to successfully lose weight, I was also frustrated by the inconsistencies in what I was reading online about nutrition. I was hungry for truth. Not opinions. Not fads. Not some diet plan that some guy came up with in his basement. But actual science-based, “this is the way the body works” nutritional information."

As you can see, he is very passionate about his lifestyle and his work - And he passes this dedication to his craft on to his clients...

Kyle, thank you for coming on the show!
