On measuring Ketones. Like many people, when I first started a Ketogenic diet in early 2014 I bought the Ketostix and just couldn’t wait to see the color change. And change it did! It was neat, and it provided motivation for me to continue. Eventually, I got a blood...

Aimee
Owsley
Aimee is the mother of 5 children. She has had times in her life where she was a bit overweight, but it wasn’t until she was pregnant with her first son that she began to rapidly gain weight. Over the course of her pregnancy, she put on 100 lbs. During the next six years, she went on to have four more children, but was unable to lose much weight in between. Her highest recorded weight was 265 lbs on the day she gave birth to her 3rd son. After her youngest turned four, she decided she had had enough. She was in her 30s, but felt like she was 60. This wasn’t the life she wanted for herself or her family.
ZAfter failing many different diets, due to lack of results or sustainability, Aimee learned about the Ketogains-style Ketogenic Diet from a friend. The fact that you could simply change the way you eat in order to get great results was very appealing to her. January 7th, 2016 was day one of her Ketogenic Diet. She has since dropped a significant amount of weight and is now sitting comfortably at 130 lbs.
Thirteen months after beginning her ketogenic diet, Aimee joined a Ketogains Bootcamp and fell in love with lifting. Seeing the improvements to her body and mind has been a life-changing experience. She has been in every single consecutive bootcamp since she started and is now blessed to be part of the coaching team. Aimee is certified by the International Sports Sciences Association as a Specialist in Fitness Nutrition and she is preparing to enroll in the Bayesian Bodybuilding course.
Aimee is most passionate about helping people achieve their goals. She is especially interested in finding ways to help people realize their true potential and find the confidence they need to change their lives. She truly believes that sometimes people just need someone to believe in them in order to find the strength to succeed. Her mission is to help people do just that.

Brenda
Richards
Brenda has been a yo-yo dieter her entire adult life…until now. In 2009, she reached out for help at her highest known weight of 407 pounds. In the spring of 2010, she had weight loss surgery, which took her to maintaining at ~290 pounds after the honeymoon period of weightloss her surgeon described had ended.
During the winter of 2016, Brenda nearly passed out in the store. Her doctor ordered several tests, including one which resulted in her being identified as prediabetic. At that time, her doctor suggested considering a Paleo diet, an anti-inflammatory diet, or an Atkins diet. She began researching and found the Ketogains-style approach to the ketogenic diet, which is basically a blend of the other three.
She began her ketogenic portion of her journey in the spring of 2016. After six months on the diet, she was no longer prediabetic.
Brenda’s passion for strength training is a direct result of her experience in Ketogains bootcamps with Luis,Tyler, and Zach. She’d never lifted prior to enrolling in one and was extremely intimidated and overwhelmed her first day in the gym, BUT she went back and has kept going. She has participated in back-to-back camps, first as a client and now as a coach. She is certified by the National Council on Strength and Fitness as a personal trainer and is preparing to enroll in the Bayesian Bodybuilding course.
Brenda has degrees in mathematics, computer science, and educational administration. She works full time as an instructional coach. She has a passion for educating and empowering people find the courage within to risk trying something new and push beyond their comfort zones to achieve levels they didn’t know were within reach.
