Chris Irvin ([@TheKetologist](https://www.instagram.com/theketologist/)) is a former collegiate athlete and sports performance coach who received his Master’s Degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science from the University of Tampa and Bachelor's Degree in Biology from Illinois College.  Chris is an expert at taking complex ketosis research and turning it into actionable and digestible information.

 

He is also the co-author with [Danny Vega](https://www.instagram.com/ketocounterculture) and [Rachel Gregory](https://killinitketo.com/) of [The 4-Week Carnivore Keto Cut Program](https://carnivoreketoplan.com/), for helping people achieve various health goals with a carnivore keto diet. Chris has an excellent [blog](https://www.theketologist.com/) and Instagram page, both branded as the Ketologist, which I’ve learned a lot from.
