ABOUT GUEST:
Isaac is a dietitian originally from a small rural town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and is currently residing in Chicago.
During his formal education in undergrad and grad school, he studied human physiology and nutritional sciences and has since gone through a series of trainings, including internships to become a Registered Dietitian, mentorship programs under Josh Rubin and Morley Robbins, and independent research.
Despite his formal education, his personal experiences with health and working with clients 1:1 have been just as if not more valuable to his work. He was inspired to pursue nutrition after developing a series of health issues, including hypothyroidism, low testosterone, chronic fatigue, cystic acne, and type 1 diabetes, during his high school and early college days.
Isaac currently helps adults with type 1, type 2, and pre-diabetes improve their blood sugar control without cutting out carbs, in his coaching program, The Balanced Blood Sugar Roadmap.
