Episode 139: Krisna Hanks

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Krisna Hanks is co-owner of Square 1 Wellness providing Low-Carbohydrate/Ketogenic (LCHF/Keto) nutrition coaching and personalized fitness training to individuals, groups and organizations. Krisna has worked in the fitness industry for decades and, over the course of that time, saw first-hand the need to assist individuals in finding sustainable health choices outside of exercise. She holds a Master of Science degree in Kinesiology from Indiana University and completed her MBA in the Executive Program at the University of San Francisco. Most recently she earned the title Coach Practitioner™ from the Noakes Foundation, a select group of individuals chosen to train in the LCHF/Keto lifestyle.

Brian and Krisna talk about how Krisna got into dancing and exercise, the negative effects of living a sedentary lifestyle, and the myriad benefits of following your passion. They also discuss helping people and being involved in community, the importance of just showing up, why wearing a CGM is such an enlightening experience, the impact of nutrition on mood, the five markers of metabolic health, why being metabolically healthy cannot be simply equated with losing weight, and making time to take care of yourself so that you can be there for others.

Life’s Best Medicine According to Krisna: “Get outside! Get some sunshine.”
