Captain Brian Gaudette was born to be a soldier.\xa0 He joined the army at 18 and served initially as an infantryman and later trained for and became an Apache Pilot.\xa0 However he started putting on a lot of weight and developing spatial disorientation in the cockpit.\xa0 The doctors couldn't tell him what was wrong with him and immediately grounded him.\xa0 After many months of desperate searching he finally discovered on his own that he had Hashimoto's Disease and he had also read that people were reversing it with whole food, low carbohydrate diets.
He finally conceded to try it and was astounded to find that within about 6 weeks he lost 30 lbs, got his brain back and was able to be reinstated as a pilot.\xa0 His problem was how to be able to sustain this way of eating when deployed.\xa0 He solved the problem by making soups from organic produce and grass fed beef and canning them in his garage.\xa0 Then he sent cases of these soups ahead and ate them exclusively while overseas.\xa0 As a result he became known as Captain Soup.
His story was highlighted in the epic, recently released, documentary called Fat Fiction which you can find on Amazon.\xa0 This is the link\xa0 for the US but if you are elsewhere in the world, just search for 'Fat Fiction'\xa0 on Amazon.
Brian is still flying Apaches but he now also has a business called Captain Soup where me makes and ships cases of frozen soup all around the US.\xa0 Make sure you check it out.
