SAUNA BLANKET
I am in LOVE with my new sauna blanket and I couldn’t wait to tell all of you about it!
Once we found out Craig had Lyme Disease, we needed to take action! He went undiagnosed for 5 years and he was suffering terribly!
I personally didn’t want to get a sauna, but Craig convinced me it would help him and he showed me all the research on why I should be doing it too!
We do not have a lot of space at our Keto Condo in Maui so a sauna blanket was perfect for getting all the benefits without taking up space!

RED LIGHT THERAPY FACE MASK
Several months ago, I emailed my friend Andy who owns Bon Charge that I wish he had a red light mask. I know he is always on the pursuit of health so I figured he would be interested in such a product.
Within months, he created the best Red Light Therapy Face Mask and I use mine daily! The Bon Charge Red Light Therapy Face Mask is the best one I have tried. I personally have bought two other red light face masks and none of them compare to the Bon Charge red light face mask. One of the red light masks was a hard plastic one and it hurt my face the whole time it was on. The Bon Charge red light face mask is soft and forms to your face. I also love how the Bon Charge red light face mask has multiple levels of strength to use and it also has a timer that you can set for as little as 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes.

Protein Noodle Chicken Soup
Chicken noodle soup is something I always had for lunch as a little girl; however, my soup came out of a can!
The chicken pieces were tiny, dry and the protein wasn’t nearly enough. Not only that, the soup wasn’t delicious like my recipe!
My Protein Noodle Chicken Soup is so delicious, I know it will be a family favorite!
To make my protein noodles, I used Further Food gelatin!
I highly suggest ordering a lot of Further Food gelatin because these protein noodles will BLOW YOUR MIND!
I always stock my pantry with Further Food gelatin and collagen! They have so many different flavors of collagen that really make my recipes extra delicious! I know it looks crazy, but I seriously use Further Food in most of my recipes!

Make sure the crepes do not brown at all.Remove from pan and repeat with remaining batter.Place 4 cooked crepes together in a stack. Roll up like a jelly roll and slice into fettuccine noodles.Add the noodles to the chicken soup and simmer for 2 more minutes.Remove from the heat, remove the bay leaf, and serve.

WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE WINNERS
Last month we had a protein sparing weight loss challenge and the results were so fantastic and I am so proud of everyone, I wanted to share them all with you.
We saw for not only weight loss but inspirational healing results too!
WEIGHT LOSS TESTIMONIESHere are just a few of the hundreds of weight loss testimonials:
“Continuing with April and so far 38.8 pounds using the Emmerich’s way! With my other loss before starting that is a total of 56.6. I’m totally mind blown! Seriously though it’s like why didn’t I do this earlier?!?! So glad I took the plunge!
I want to say congratulations to everyone on this challenge we did! Such an awesome job by all!
Thank you Maria Emmerich and Craig Emmerich” – Kara
“I’m absolutely impressed with the meals plans, the recipes are absolutely flavourful. My Husband and I did this together and both lost over 12lbs each in the 30 days! Thank you for the no nonsense approach and real information!”
“Last day of the challenge for me, off bp meds and inches lost too.
I am obviously going to keep doing it.” -Mary
“I couldn’t be more pleased with my results from participating in this challenge! I need to lose that last 10 to 15 pounds and I lost 11.7 pounds my body fat, decreased from 27.9% to 22.3%! And to top it off, my hair has quit falling out, finally after having Covid four times over the past few years! My husband says that my skin on my face looks much more useful! Even my 20-year-old son had an astonished reaction when he saw me at Easter! He is usually not very observant lol but he did a double take as soon as he saw me, and said mom! You’re so thin! That really made me smile. I will definitely be continuing to follow Maria and Craig. I am an avid health, information, seeker, and have looked forward to learning so much from them, and I look forward to learning more from them! Thank you, Maria, and Craig! Oh, one downside to this is none of my clothes are fitting me lol!” Lisa
“I wanted to show you a little bit of my healing process. The first picture is from 2004. It took me another 10 years to start taking action. I don’t have pics from that time because I avoided being photographed.
In 2020 I started going to the gym (1 month before they were Closed) and I was on a yo-yo ride until March 2023 when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and started taking it very seriously. Then you can see my pictures from the first days of the challenge and the last day.
I still have a long way to go but I’m every day closer and closer.
BTW I hate hate hate the outfit but I’m keeping it forever because it reminds me where I come from. From the first photo until now it’s a 106 lbs difference (48kg). I lost 11lbs during this challenge.” – Gabbs
“Pictures say everything this challenge brought me down 35.2 pounds then before I lost 17.8 pounds on my own. I decided I am continuing the challenge April, May, June, July, and for life I am going to continue self care. Thank you Maria Wojcik Emmerich and Craig Emmerich for all the wonderful guidance and recipes! Super thankful for all your knowledge!” – Judd
“I started this challenge the day I signed up so I got 6 weeks in on it. It took about 3 weeks for my body to adjust to PSMF and then the weight start to come off (14lbs total, 10 in the actual challenge time). I’ve been on low carb/ keto on and off for a few years now. Have to say this PSMF was an eye opener for me and love the way I feel.
I’ve followed Maria’s recipes for quite a few years, sort of chased around the internet for them and landed on Keto-Adapted. I love this health-style and will continue on this path. Thank you Maria and Craig, you served up so much valuable info to re-educate this older gal, very grateful to have participated in this challenge. Never to old to start anew!” Daniele
“Where do I begin? First of all, I cannot believe the weight loss in such a short amount of time. 10 pounds?! That is crazy! I also measured myself weekly, and now that I have tallied how many inches I lost, I am in total shock. 13.25 inches? I mean, yes I have noticed my clothes fitting much bigger than usual, but never in my wildest dreams did I think this was possible just by following the challenge.
But that is not even the biggest shocker of all! I suffer from PCOS, and was diagnosed 12 years ago. I have struggles to maintain healthy menstrual cycles until eventually they disappeared altogether. Tell me how it is possible that only 4 days into the challenge, my cycle came back out of nowhere? Not just that, but I have continued this way of eating into April and it came back again, exactly 30 days later. Umm….excuse me WHAT?! I could’ve been doing this all along to regulate my cycles without having to take hormones to mimic a period? I am completely blown away by the results thus far and plan on continuing this way of eating as a lifestyle.
Thank you, Craig & Maria and all the moderators who helped usher us all through the March challenge! I am forever grateful for the opportunity and health benefits I have received rom this experience.” Andrea
“I love the Emmerich’s teachings to focus heavily on protein and use psmf for fasting. It is the healthiest program around and they are very active in the keto community, teaching and mentoring. The recipes add great variety with good clean products. No dirty hacks, all “good for you” recipes to make your diet not feel like a diet at all.” Teresa

GRÝS SKIN GIVEAWAY
I am always looking for the most natural products to use in my home, on my skin and especially for my children.
My boys have pretty sensitive skin and after a day of swimming in the ocean, they get quite ashy. I would always ask them to put some moisturizer on but they never liked using any of the natural products I had until now!
They love slathering on GRYS tallow! It is so soft and smooth! I also love that there is no chemical-like fragrance!
What is GRYS Skin Tallow?GRÝS is an all-natural grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow based skin cream. GRÝS is made from only the highest quality fat (sourced from American cows) that has been rendered at low temperatures to remove all of the impurities. The result is an all-natural, smooth, creamy, nutrient-dense balm. In addition to tallow, GRÝS also includes organic sandalwood oil, organic clary sage oil, and organic aloe vera.
Nearly all first peoples, from Native Americans to Australian Aboriginals understood the healing and soothing power of rendered fat, also called tallow. There are numerous archived references to its use as a base for healing salves, ointments, and skin creams.
As people become more conscious of the risks and skin irritations associated with so many of the chemicals found in “modern” skin lotions and creams, many are seeking a more natural (and effective) alternative. Thankfully, we only need to look to our ancestors for the answer!
What are the benefits of using tallow as a moisturizer?We now know that rendered grass-fed tallow is loaded with fat soluble Vitamins A, D, K, and E. These are like super-fuels for our skin, which absorbs this natural goodness like a sponge. But that’s not it. Tallow also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) as well as palmitoleic acid which together have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Imagine a cream that fuels and nourishes your skin from the outside! That’s tallow.
THREE benefits of using tallow moisturizer:1. Nourishing Properties:A beef tallow moisturizer isn’t just about hydration; it’s also a treasure trove of vital nutrients that your skin craves. Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow brings a nourishing feast to your skin. These vitamins play a pivotal role in promoting a healthy complexion. Vitamin A, for instance, assists in skin regeneration and repair, while vitamin D supports skin cell growth. Vitamin E is renowned for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect your skin from the damaging effects of free radicals. Vitamin K contributes to a more even skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots and redness. Together, these nutrients rejuvenate your skin, leaving it looking and feeling its best.
2. Skin Barrier Protection:Your skin’s natural barrier is like a shield, protecting you from the harsh elements of the world outside. Tallow serves as a loyal guardian, fortifying this protective barrier. It acts as a reliable ally against the onslaught of environmental factors, such as wind and pollution, that can wreak havoc on your skin. By forming a protective layer, tallow helps safeguard your skin against these aggressors while also locking in moisture. This dual action ensures that your skin remains resilient and hydrated, with reduced vulnerability to the stresses of daily life.
3. Reduced Skin Irritation:One of the standout qualities of a beef tallow lotion in skincare is its potent anti-inflammatory properties. For those with sensitive or easily irritated skin, this natural remedy can be a game-changer. Tallow’s ability to soothe and calm the skin makes it particularly effective in soothing skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It provides relief from the itching, redness, and discomfort associated with these conditions, offering a welcome respite from the daily struggles of managing irritated skin. While individual experiences may vary, many users have reported significant improvements in their skin’s condition after incorporating tallow-based products into their routines (read this blog post by the owner of GRÝS Skin here about the benefits of using a beef tallow moisturizer on his psoriasis). Additionally, several studies support the claims of tallow’s anti-inflammatory benefits, further highlighting its potential to be a soothing solution for troublesome skin issues.
GRYS SKIN OWNERSThe owners of GRYS Skin are so generous they are giving away a box to not only one winner, but 5 jars to 5 WINNERS!
1. Like my Keto private Facebook group called KETO.
2. Follow me on Instagram @mariaemmerich and @GRYSKIN
3. Comment below on why you would like to win!
4. Bonus points for reposting on Facebook or Instagram and tagging me!
Good Luck! Winner will be chosen May 1st!

EASY Tom Kha Gai
I recently was in Thailand for my keto retreat. MAN, it was so much fun! I just love getting to meet and travel with new friends. I never thought I would be able to travel the World and getting to do it while making new keto friends, it is my favorite thing in life! (DO NOT MISS MY UPCOMING TRIP TO VIETNAM! CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE!)
While we were in Thailand, we took a boat to the small island of Phi Phi. We stayed at a charming hotel on the beach that had one restaurant that had the most beautiful view of the ocean. At the restaurant, my favorite meal was Tom Kha Gai. Actually, I had Tom Kha Pla (Gai means chicken, Pla means shrimp). I ate it daily and when I came home, I couldn’t wait to make it for my family!
SUGAR FREE TOM KA GAITraditionally, Tom Kha Gai has sugar. The first time I ordered it, I asked if they could make it without sugar and they said, “Absolutely!” It was the most delicious thing I have eaten in a long time!
HOW TO MAKE EASY TOM KHA GAITom Kha Gai is very easy to make. Tom means “to boil.” Kha means “galangal” (which is a type of ginger). Gai means “chicken.” It is often served over rice, but in Thailand we just skipped the rice, but now that I am home, I think it would be great over my carnivore rice!
From start to finish, it only took me 15 minutes to make this delicious meal and it makes great leftovers. I personally would wait to add the protein you are using until you are planning on eating it. The chicken (or shrimp) oven gets over cooked when leftover. But when I was in Thailand, I often ordered extra, stored it in my mini fridge in my hotel room and would eat it cold for breakfast.
I have tried many recipes for Tom Kha Gai and I feel this method is the best. I know in Thailand, traditionally, they boiled the scallions and mushrooms instead of sautéing them like I am doing in this recipe, so know that either works, but I find that sautéing them helps bring out more flavor.
HOW TO SERVE TOM KHA GAIWhen I was served Tom Kha Gai in Thailand, it always had the hard pieces of lemongrass and large pieces of galangal in it even though you are not suppose to eat those parts. I would just pick them out as I ate the rest of it. Before you serve this meal to your family, you can either take the inedible pieces of lemongrass and galangal out or you can leave them in but tell your guests to not eat them.
Either way, I hope you and your guest love this recipe as much as I do! I also hope that you join me on one of my keto retreats!

Add the shallots and mushrooms. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and saute for 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, one can of the coconut milk, pieces of lemongrass, galangal and lime leaves. Heat to medium high heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until fragrant.Add the pieces of chicken (or shrimp) and cook until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink (this will only take a few minutes.) Stir in the remaining coconut milk. Remove from heat and add the tomatoes, fish sauce, lime juice, stevia glycerite, cilantro (and chilis if you are crazy and like it spicy:). Remind your guests to not eat the lemongrass, lime leaves and galangal (ginger). Store extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days (if it lasts that long!). To reheat, place into a saucepot over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes or heated to your liking.

Flourless Chocolate Cake for 2
What’s not to love about flourless chocolate cake? It is thick, it is rich, it is chocolaty, and easy to make!
HOW TO MAKE FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR 2Most of the time, recipes for flourless chocolate cake has a tablespoon of starch to help combine the cake. Instead of starch, I experimented with Equip Chocolate prime protein powder and it worked perfectly! I also tried using the Equip peanut butter protein powder and it worked great and added a touch of peanut butter goodness to the cake.
I love using Equip protein powder in my recipes because protein signals our gut that we are satified and full, which is the whole phenomenon about GLP-1 peptides. Yes, protein signals the duodenal peptide cholecystokinin (CCK) to be secreted which activates receptors on local sensory nerves in the duodenum, sending a message to the brain via the vagus nerve that tells us we are full and satisfied.
One easy way to boost your protein intakes is to add Equip Prime Protein to delicious recipes like my keto flourless chocolate cake!

Asian Meatballs over Carnivore Rice
I love meatballs! So when I went to Good Food Cafe which was a keto restaurant in Madison Wisconsin, I ordered their Asian Meatballs. I told the owner, Kory (which you can watch my interview with him HERE), “These are the BEST meatballs!” He laughed and said, “You should, they are your recipe!”
My recipe for Asian Meatballs was written many moons ago and is in my first published cookbook. It is so delicious, I had to share my recipe with all of you!
ASIAN MEATBALL GLAZEWhen making the mouthwatering glaze for these meatballs, I highly suggest you use homemade bone broth. Store-bought broth will work but the glaze will not be thick, though adding a small amount of gelatin can help to thicken it but when it cools, it will become very gelatinous. Make sure to reheat the glaze before serving leftovers.
To make my Carnivore Rice and the glaze for the Asian Meatballs, I used Further Food gelatin!
Further Food gelatin and collagen peptides are both excellent sources of collagen. Both their Collagen & Gelatin are sourced from the highest quality, grass-fed, pasture-raised, hormone-free, and antibiotic free bovine collagen.
The benefits of collagen and gelatin are astounding! Just eating my delicious carnivore rice helps support skin elasticity & hydration, longer hair & nails, stronger bones & joints, faster recovery between workouts, increased flexibility, improved digestion, and it even keeps you feeling full and satiated for longer!
Further Food Collagen Peptides dissolve instantly in any recipe, and Gelatin Powder naturally thickens recipes like the sauce for the meatballs!

Allow the gelatin to dissolve for 3 minutes before turning on the heat. Heat the eggs over medium- high heat and scramble until completely cooked through. Remove from heat and cool completely. Once cool, place in a food processor to pulse into small pieces of rice (or use a ricer and place the cooked egg whites through a ricer to form pieces of rice). Set aside while you make the meatballs. NOTE: The Carnivore rice can be made 4 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve. To reheat, place on a lightly greased skillet and saute over medium heat for 2 minutes or until heated through.Preheat the oven to 400°F.In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, eggs, mushrooms, green onions, coconut aminos, ginger, and garlic. Mix until well combined. Shape into 1½-inch meatballs (I use an ice cream scooper to make sure the meatballs are the same size) and place on a rimmed baking sheet.Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the broth, coconut oil, tamari, sweetener, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Whisk in the gelatin and allow to sit for 3 minutes or until the gelatin has dissolved. Heat over medium-high heat until bubbling, stirring well to combine. Simmer on medium for 10 minutes while the meatballs cook. Remove from the heat. NOTE: This sauce can be made 4 days ahead and stored in the fridge. Remove from the meatballs from the oven, place on a serving tray, and serve with the sauce. Garnish with sliced green onion. Store extras in separate air tight containers in the fridge for up to 6 days. To reheat, place meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in a 325 degree F oven for 5 minutes or until heated through.

“I have battled being overweight most of my childhood and then being morbidly obese most of my adult life. I started dieting at the age of 8. I did every diet that is out there, including all the popular ones, even Opti fast shakes through a hospital program and numerous weight loss pills. I could lose weight but quickly gained it all back. Twice I lost over 100 lbs with WW. And I was even grinding my own wheat berries, eating 8-10 fruits & vegetables a day! I cooked all my own meals and ate as healthy as I knew how. My diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, thyroid, inflammation, depression, arthritis, chronic high blood pressure and high cholesterol kept getting more out of control while the Drs gave me more medication.
Then I found the keto diet through my PA. What did I have to lose?! So I started. I was not eating enough protein at first and yes I lost weight BUT I also was losing muscle.
I found Maria Emmerich 9 months after starting and the knowledge Craig & Maria had was crucial to my understanding how the body works. I increased my protein, started working out with weight training and I never thought I would end up here. I lost 270 lbs, went from a size 6x to a size 12 and lost all the medications except I still take a low dose of thyroid med. I reversed all my health issues!
I have maintained the weight loss for almost 1 1/2 years. I continue to learn from the Emmerichs and continue to help others who struggle as well. I don’t share my story to say “ hey look at me” I share it to show others anything is possible! And to encourage, point others to the knowledge they need to help them be successful and getting healthier.“ Twila

BON CHARGE RED LIGHT THERAPY PANEL BENEFITS
My Anti-Aging Journey
Since turning 40 I have really begun to ramp up my beauty and skincare routine. I wasn’t happy with how my skin was looking and feeling and then I remembered all of the amazing anti-aging benefits of Red Light Therapy. Enter the Bon Charge Red Light Therapy Panel!
Red Light Therapy
What really got me interested in Red Light Therapy initially was all the benefits for healing that it claims to help with. I originally wanted one for Craig and healing his Lyme Disease. Then I heard it could help with collagen and wrinkles! I don’t like nor use chemicals on my skin and I almost never wear makeup but I would like to erase some wrinkles. Could this red light therapy really be the fountain of youth? Let’s look into the facts!
This may sound like biology class but everyone should know the term “Mitochondria” by now. I write a lot about mitochondria in my books and how many people have very damaged mitochondria. The mitochondria is the POWERHOUSE of our cells! It is where energy comes from and where we oxidize fat! You can enhance your mitochondria with intense weight lifting and long distance running. But for those of you who can’t do such strenuous exercise like my husband Craig, red light therapy can help! Red light creates a biochemical affect in our cells that serves to increase mitochondrial function. This improves ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production in the body! Red light therapy “feeds” your cells to increase energy.
Red light therapy = More ATP = more energy!
Why We Use the Bon Charge Red Light Therapy Panel
I wanted to get a red light after researching all the benefits and I found the Bon Charge Max Red Light Therapy Panel. Max is a powerful full body red light therapy device. Matching the power of more expensive panels the Max device can help improve your sleep, aid with muscle recovery, improve skin appearance and much more. This device emits the most bioactive frequencies of 660nm red light and 850nm near infrared light for the most optimal session. It is safe, portable and effective and that is why we use the Bon Charge Red Light Therapy Panel!
Red Light Therapy isn’t a new concept; in 1903 Niels Finsen won the Nobel Prize in Medicine when he used red light to treat lupus and smallpox! In Russia, they use red light therapy in their standard medical care. The FDA has approved red light therapy for wrinkles, hair loss, acne, joint pain, immune function and slow wound healing.
Where to Get Your Bon Charge Red Light Therapy Panel
We love Bon Charge! They are always striving to create new, quality technology that elevates our health and wellness. We are loving our new Max Red Light Therapy Panel and I personally use it in conjunction with my Red Light Face Mask every day. My skin feels and looks so smooth and radiant!

CARNIVORE Waffles
My husband Craig has always loved waffles! He loves them more than pancakes, or French Toast.
Since he is the one who needs to eat carnivore for his health, I wanted to make him a special recipe! And it is DELICIOUS!
HOW TO MAKE CARNIVORE WAFFLESTo make my carnivore waffles, I used Equip unflavored protein powder! I have to be honest, I did try using unflavored collagen and it works, but collagen doesn’t count towards your protein goal for the day. That is why I wanted to use Equip to make my carnivore waffles instead.
Equip protein powder comes from beef! Since some of my clients do not want to only eat meat, I created this special waffle recipe to satisfy your desires without the guilt!
Boost your protein and build lean mass, burn fat, grow beautiful hair and assist your thyroid just by making carnivore waffles with Equip Prime protein!
Equip is so generous, they are offering 15% off when you use code MARIA!

Triple Health Coaching Certification – Keto, Carnivore and Protein Sparing Modified Fast
Triple Health Coaching Certification – Keto, Carnivore and Protein Sparing Modified Fast
“Before picture I was 30 years old the after picture 40 years old!
I never felt amazing even in my 20’s, always craving sugar and feeding my body bad things. I was never a good eater I used to love eating chips, fried food, desserts all day everyday!
It was a struggle for me to lose the weight and stay healthy! I was always on a YO-YO diet until I got introduced to the KETO DIET from a very close friend (who himself lost a lot of weight on it) and my life changed completely!
After a year of being on keto I saw Maria Emmerich’s posts on YouTube and OMGGGGG when I followed her keto way I felt my body healed (BIG TIME) and than I got certified through her Certified Keto Coaching program to start helping other people and sharing my story and my experience with others BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE!
If you are struggling with weight loss, keto is the way to go! You are going to heal your body and reach your goal very fast!
KETO ON my friends” MJ
SPRING SEMESTER
“Hi Maria and Craig! Thank you so much for creating the keto coach/supplements add on courses. The information you provided in this course was absolutely invaluable.
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics, alongside a Bachelor of Biomedical science, and I can tell you, I have learnt more in your course about nutrition and healing people with food, than either of these two courses have offered me so far! ” – Nicola
Health Coaching Certification Enrollment Now Open!
“Having been in the carnivore and ketogenic space for over 7 years, I came to the Keto-Adapted coaching programs with a decent amount of knowledge and an established coaching business. What I didn’t realize was how much more I was about to absorb, learn and use in my own coaching practice. The courses themselves, and the incredible bonus content, have ramped up my knowledge considerably, especially with difficult health situations I might not have yet encountered.
Alongside the courses is the added benefit of getting time with Maria and Craig to ask questions, receive guidance and stay current in the industry with any changes and philosophies.
Being part of the coaches Q&A forum also allows me to get my questions answered quickly, ultimately not only benefiting myself but also my clients.
The Keto-Adapted coaching programs are a great tool to help set yourself up for success at a value unheard of compared to similar programs.
Every coach needs mentors and I am honored that The Emmerich’s are a significant part of mine.” Lisa

“To expand my nutritional health knowledge and make me a better coach, I was looking for a health coaching program that would provide a solid foundation in the science and functional medical aspects of Ketogenic and Carnivore diets, and Supplements. With integrity, this course by the Emmerich’s included many peer reviewed studies, medical articles and presentations to confirm the information that was being taught. Maria and Craig taught me the nutritional healthy way to coach my clients into a new lifestyle. They share how to overcome anticipated obstacles, dispel myths and mistakes which will help my clients succeed. This challenging program was very well done with step by step videos to make the large amount of information manageable. The weekly coaching calls and access to large database of questions and answers helped me get answers to things I was not sure about. Maria and Craig responded to my questions quickly if I did not find them on the coaches Q&A page.
The meal plans and thousands of recipes I was given access to changed my perspective on what it is to eat healthy and still have delicious options in any food category. Little did I know that this exceptional coaching program would change my health as well. I am not longer on thyroid medication and am no longer pre-diabetic. Maria and Craig are a true inspiration with all of the hard work and creativity they put into the program and their recipes. From their teaching, I am grateful to now have the ability to help my clients on a broader level.
If you’re looking for a professional, science based, turn key program to start or enhance your coaching program and your health I would highly recommend Maria & Craig Emmerich’s Keto Adapted coaching program.” Cari Kamp

“I have been a nutrition consultant for 30 years and I found Maria a few years ago. I completed their certification programs and my business is booming. It was a huge game changer and I am able to help clients reach goals that were impossible to achieve without the Emmerich info. Best program ever! Don’t waist time with anything else. Love it ” – Deann
“I decided to get certified in keto/carnivore and just wanted to let this group know of the hard work Maria and Craig Emmerich have put into their program. The most impressive part is they share their information with everyone on this group for free. I feel their passion. I’m very excited making this step into my health and future.
I have been following them for about 6 months after coming from another keto group that carb cycles. It was not working for me. Not only have I lost weight but I lost pain and can finally workout and not have to take a week off because I’m so exhausted. I’m almost 55 with a neck fusion c5-c6 and I haven’t had a headache in almost 2 months. I had headaches every single day for years. I have only had 1 migraine this year.Eternally grateful for the information you you both provide.” – KimCLICK HERE to get your spot! Space is limited!
