Michael’s bestselling cookbooks, “New Keto Cooking” & “New Comfort Cooking”, along with his upcoming third book, “New Keto: Dinner in 30!”, have been endorsed by Michelin-star celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsay, Graham Elliot, and Aaron Sanchez. Michael has been featured in PEOPLE Magazine, E!

And hopes to continue helping others make incredible food at home while finding joy and empowerment through their cooking.

[06:05] Why Self-Love Is The Key To Personal and Professional Success Before his health transformation, Michael never wanted to look in the mirror; he wanted to be invisible in a room. Michael found empowerment because losing weight unlocked strength and confidence inside of him. Michael has a newfound passion for honoring himself and being his best version. Finding love for yourself can play into your personal and professional life. [19:05] How a Keto Lifestyle Played a Role In Michael’s Health Transformation Michael wanted to find an approach to diet that still allowed him to love food. After learning about keto, Michael realized he could still have steak and butter. Michael started a keto diet by completely doubting himself. He didn’t even tell his fiancé that he was cutting out carbs. Michael didn’t want the shame of failing when trying the keto diet. Keto allowed Michael to feel empowerment, energy, strength, and health. Ten years of acid reflux were gone in two or three weeks of the keto diet. Michael’s body was telling him that keto was working within days. [25:15] How To Listen To What Your Body Is Telling You It took Michael thirty years to realize how much your body will talk to you. Michael lost 80 pounds in one year because he was really focused. On a weight loss journey, you become aware of how much your body communicates with you and how you feel. Before getting healthy, Michael never listened to what his body told him. Michael lost weight without even walking into a gym. [30:25] Finding A Variety and Diversity With a Ketogenic Lifestyle Diversity and a variety of food are essential to keep it exciting. Some people thrive on not having to think about what they eat daily. Michael loves to explore the world of food that is out there. Part of Michael’s personal journey was finding ways to make keto food sexy enough for him to want it every night. [39:40] Food Determines Your Mood: Health Starts and Ends In The Kitchen Your stomach is your second brain; the gut microbiome sends signals that affect every part of our body's systems mentally, physically, psychologically, and emotionally. It’s challenging to tell if your mood is better because of the food or if it is better because you decided to change your life. Michael says keto changed his mood right away. Health starts and ends in the kitchen; there is serious power in the food you eat. [44:00] Fitting The Keto Diet Into Your Lifestyle Is Quick and Simple Michael likes to teach people with his cooking books. Finding good recipes will help you enjoy cooking more. Michael’s keto recipes are 30 minutes or less. They are all delicious and easy! You need to find food that you enjoy cooking.
