Kevin Brown, President Liberation Wellness
As a certified personal fitness trainer, Kevin was frustrated being unable to deliver consistent results for his clients. Once he discovered that the nutrition protocols he was taught in school were designed to fail, Kevin set out to develop his own wellness program, the Liberation Diet.
He realized that 100 years ago, we didn't have the obesity and chronic disease epidemic we have today, and that we need to look at the way our fore-fathers ate to uncover the truth about diet. Once the new-old-fashioned methods were implemented, clients began to get spectacular results.
Having the need to help many more people than just his local clients, Kevin has co-authored the Liberation Diet Book, which contains the secret of long-term healthy weight loss.
Kevin has spoken on national and international TV, radio and for medical professionals across the US and Canada about good nutrition and the important role it plays in disease prevention. He recently spoke at the Farm to Table event in Pittsburg, and for the Midshipman at the Annapolis Naval Academy
