Dr. Sean O'Mara has researched the ketogenic lifestyle to become healthier. Getting optimally healthy is exciting. As a practicing physician for 18 years trained in emergency medicine, he didn't initially grasp optimizing health. Improving health led to better performance and life, fueling his passion to share it.

He has Asperger's, associated with diet, particularly in utero. Autism links to parental diet. Asperger's makes him intense and poor at reading social cues but excellent at measuring changes in the body, even after two weeks apart. This aids learning but challenges delivery. Wife advises smiling and laughing more; humor is weak, but content has value—focus on that.

Wasn't always healthy; became overweight after army break in 2005, determined not to be out-of-shape ex-army guy. Wife (described as a little plump) and he started ketogenic paleo lifestyle in 2010-2011. She transformed; after one year, all cellulite in legs gone. After eight years ketogenic, he achieved lean physique shown in photo.

Averaged exercising 5 minutes a day, once every 5 days over eight years. Healthy eating dramatically changes body. Exercise is unconventional: nature-inspired, intense 5-minute bursts mimicking animal fights (kill/eat/compete). High intensity, short duration; mix it up with variety like nature—no rigid programs. Sometimes exercises days in row, sometimes longer breaks.
