Episode 172 - Thom King - CEO and Chief Food Scientist, ICON Foods/Author, Guy Gone Keto “I look at what I do as more of a cause than as a business.” “The process took years...I look back at the successes versus the challenges...the challenges are when I learned the most...I am super grateful for those.” - Thom King In Episode 172, the Two Fit Crazies have an amazing conversation with Thom King, “part CEO, part personal development wonk and part biohacker info geek.” Joining the show from Portland, Oregon, Thom discusses his journey to become a “serial entrepreneur,” founding multiple companies and authoring a book. Currently the CEO and Chief Food Scientist at ICON Foods, Thom reveals how a fortuitous run in with an “OG” of Stevia led to his fascination and eventual success dissecting and re-creating great tasting foods using clean-label sweetening systems to replace sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup. In addition to working with major food and beverage companies around the world, Thom’s personal Ketogenic lifestyle inspired him to share his knowledge and experiences with the world through his book, Guy Gone Keto. Although the word “Guy” appears in the title, Thom reassures listeners that the message is universal: “you must eat to live, not live to eat.” Through his passion for creating foods that offer less sugar and carbs per serving, Thom talks about his current line of condiments and his current project of creating healthier and Keto-friendly cocktails such as: Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Manhattan’s, and Christine’s personal favorite, the Cosmopolitan.
