Our Team
Kevin Brown, President
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, and is already changing lives across the US and Canada.
Kevin Brown is president and co-founder of Visionary Trainers Inc., one of the largest in-home personal training companies in the Mid Atlantic Region. Kevin serves as a fellow on the prestigious National Board of Fitness Examiners, helping to set the standard for all Personal Trainers.
He is also is the creator of LiberationFitness.com, an online interactive fitness website which provides exercise, diet, and health information to people around the world at an affordable price. Kevin regularly speaks on the topics of health and fitness throughout the U.S. and Canada and has spoken on national radio and television about the benefits of real food and regular exercise. He often lectures for medical and dental professionals about good nutrition and the important role it plays in disease prevention.
Recently Kevin has begun hosting The Liberation Wellness Hour, a radio program designed to bring the message of true health and real food to people around the world who desperately need to hear the hidden side of wellness.
Kevin serves as a Fellow on the National Board of Fitness Examiners, and is also an Aerobic and Fitness Association of America Certified Personal Trainer, and an American Fitness Professionals and Associates Nutrition and Wellness Consultant. Kevin and his wife Tracy are Chapter leaders for the Weston A. Price foundation, a non-profit organization that is helping restore real food to its rightful place in the American diet.

Annette has been a registered dietician for over 15 years, with a degree in Nutritional Science from the prestigious California State University, Los Angeles.

For the last eight years, she’s focused primarily on wellness, through her business Find Your Weigh. She’s also a certified personal trainer.
Most recently, Annette has done an extensive review of current nutrition research and found that most of our national nutrition policies are based on false information and very poor data. Annette states, "In this country, we have developed obesity, heart disease, diabetes and other illnesses while consuming a diet that is low in total fat and saturated fat and excessively high in carbohydrates. It should be obvious by now that the food guide pyramid and low fat diets aren’t working. We need to return to the diet our ancestors ate before the invention of processed food."
Annette is a chapter leader for the Weston A. Price Foundation, and along with them, is committed to providing accurate nutrition information so people can live a full and abundant life; out of nursing homes and hospitals and off medication.
