Mini bio
How it started.
Kevin’s public work grows out of a personal experience. While training as a family doctor, he weighed 306 pounds and faced several health problems. His sister’s ovarian cancer diagnosis prompted him to put his own health first so he could help care for her children. He lost 125 pounds over 18 months using a low-carbohydrate diet and intermittent fasting.
Sharing the journey.
His transformation became the subject of a TODAY appearance in 2018. On social media, he continued talking about weight maintenance and the emotional challenges around eating, building an audience around experiences he also recognised in his patients.
Turning experience into education.
Kevin became board-certified in obesity medicine in 2020. His writing includes the personal account Fasting While Furious and the later Metabolic Health Handbook. Fans can also hear him in long-form interviews about nutrition, metabolic health and obesity treatment.
