Hi friends! This episode is about Keto & Carb-Appropriate Diets for Fat Loss & Lifting Weights with Dr. Cliff Harvey. 

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Cliff Harvey, a registered clinical nutritionist, researcher, and expert in the field of keto and carb-appropriate diets. Dr. Harvey is known for his unique approach to tailoring macronutrient balances based on individual needs—a concept he describes as "carb appropriate" nutrition.
