## [Danny Vega - Building Muscle on Carnivore/Keto and Philosophy](https://www.scottmys.com/podcast/danny-2)

**Danny Vega** (**[@dannyvega.ms](https://www.instagram.com/dannyvega.ms/) / [@FatFueledFamily](https://www.fatfueled.family/)**) returns!

 

He's an expert in strength, conditioning, and performance, and how to apply nutrition to optimize all of these. I’ve been following Danny for years and I would describe him as a jacked, wise, considerate, and **generous philosopher-king of keto**. Danny has a MS in Human Performance from the University of Florida. His passions include **ketogenic and carnivore dieting, strength and conditioning,** stoicism, libertarianism, and of course, raising his sons Dean and Desmond in a holistic way with his equally amazing wife Maura.

 

Danny co-authored the [**Keto Muscle Intelligence program**](https://go.muscleintelligence.com/keto-muscle-intelligence/) with Ben Pakulski. You can check out the [**free e-book here**](https://go.muscleintelligence.com/keto/).

 

[**Last time I had Danny**** on**](https://www.scottmys.com/podcast/danny) we spoke about how he got into **keto and muscle building / performance**, how he feeds his kids, stoicism, quitting his mainstream job, and more! [**Definitely check that on****e**** out**](https://www.scottmys.com/podcast/danny) if you haven’t yet.
