Modern health pioneers are turning the food pyramid on its head, replacing a low-fat focus to one that embrace the Low-Carb, Healthy Fat (LCHF) ethic as a means to achieving optimal health.

Dr. Caryn Zinn is a registered dietitian and sports nutritionist. With a master's in sports nutrition and doctoral studies in achieving sustainable weight loss, Caryn's mission is to influence the dietetic profession to understand the potential of improved health benefits of LCHF nutrition.
