Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. Today I'm really excited to welcome Melissa Hartwig, founder of Whole30. I can't believe we haven't had you on the show, Melissa. Melissa Hartwig: Well, you and I have talked so often at events and behind the scenes. But yeah, I'm really excited to get an invite and chat with you formally. Chris Kresser: Yes. I feel like the timing is perfect because, as most of my listeners know, I just released a book about, among other things, the importance of diet and lifestyle behavior change in preventing and reversing chronic disease and addressing the epidemic of chronic disease that we're suffering from. Of course, Melissa, this is something that's very close to your heart and something that you believe in and have practiced and preached for many, many years now with the Whole30 program. As a way of diving into this topic of how to change diet, in particular, in a powerful way that not only prevents disease but even reverses it after it's already occurred, why don’t you just … I think a lot of people who are listening to this of course have heard of Whole30, but for those that haven't, why don’t you just talk a little bit about how this originated. I think you have your own interesting story, and this came out of your own personal experience, I know, and then what the Whole30 is, and we'll go from there.

The inspiration behind the Whole30 diet

Melissa Hartwig: Yes. “Interesting” is a very polite way to put it. A lot of times people say, “Have you always been healthy?” And my answer is “No.” My interest in health and fitness actually came as a result of crisis, as you know.
