Hi! I’m Leanne

Nutrition educator + keto enthusiast. I want to live in a world where every woman loves her body, nourishing fats are enjoyed at every meal, and the word “restriction” isn’t in the dictionary.

Praise

Leanne, I just wanted to thank you for being such a positive influence. I have been loving keto for the past year and a half, but just figured out quite recently that what matters most is that I haven’t been loving myself. I need to get to a place where my worth is not based on a number or what I did or didn’t eat in a day. YOU are helping me with that! I’m learning about myself, what works for me and learning to love myself in the process.

— Amy

In this crazy age of ever-changing information coming at us constantly, I so rely on The Keto Diet podcast and Leanne’s videos to shed light, explain, and generally keep me from losing my marbles! I trust Leanne’s research and I believe she is sincere in everything that she puts out to her readers. I love The Keto Diet book, and I refer back to it often for clarification and reminders about what makes the Keto diet work.

— Joanne

I was full steam ahead in Keto, then after two months my interest just dropped off – I was having cravings out of nowhere and I was feeling really blue. Then, all of a sudden, ping! I got an email from Leanne because I had signed up and it was like she was speaking to me directly. Everything she said made sense, and I’m using her ideas to change things up!

— Laura

After reading Fat Fueled, I’ve found that Leanne is a ball of badassness covered in keto chocolate scrumptiousness and topped with a piece of bacon…and she’s smart!

— Jasmine

I am so glad that I discovered your website, healthfulpursuit.com, and your fantastic podcasts! I have read a lot about how a keto diet could be beneficial for endurance athletes like me who race long-distance triathlons (Olympic and Half-Ironman distances), and I have already experienced this during my training sessions over this past couple of weeks, as I started doing some fasting and training in a fasted state: my energy levels are just never-ending, I can bike or run for hours, and there is no “hitting the wall” feeling anymore! So using fats as your primary fuel totally ROCKS :)

— Nina

Can I just say that you’re awesome! My friend introduced me to your book because after two babies in 2 years I have what you call “mommy brain,” and let’s face it, the “mum bum.” I have read countless “diet” books, blogs, posts … never has one been as clear and as organized as yours. My slight OCD and love of organization and efficiency is loving every bit of it! Things like “all in CAPS is to be prepared fresh,” or “refer to page ###,” are such small details but so appreciated! The details and thought put into this book and way of living is fantastic! Thank you, thank you! I’m excited for my new journey!

— Daena

I’m loving your book! I love your approach and the fact that you do not stick to a “diet” 100%, but rather pick out what feels good for you and what works. I also like that when reading your book, I feel like I’m talking to a very good friend. I‘m just getting started with keto, but I have to say that I already love it. I feel much better than just going low-carb (which I have done for almost 6 months now). I do not have so many cravings anymore, intermittent fasting is so easy now, and my digestion has never been better.

— Sonja

I have a fat disorder called Lipedema that makes my legs swell and makes it very hard to lose weight. It wasn’t until I found the Fat Fueled approach to keto that I was successful in losing 45lbs. Through a ketogenic diet, exercise & compression, I’m on my way to great things!

— Nicole

I’m new to the keto diet and am so grateful I’ve found healthfulpursuit.com– down to earth, approachable, holistic, but most of all, speaking to women’s specific needs. I find the lack of shame and the use of real food to be refreshing. Thank you for being a rational, reasonable voice. It’s the honesty that caught my eye.

— Tia

After struggling with amenorrhea since 2009, I had nearly given up. Last year, I found keto and your podcast and have been on the journey of high fat, low carb, whole food, grass fed/finished meats, dairy free, NOT tracking, no more excessive cardio or hormone replacement therapy, I now take more baths, walks, early bedtimes, and listen to my body. Voila! The lovely lady friend has honored me with her presence. I couldn’t be happier!

— Tara

I love that you have offered a way to “keto” without all the counting! I think it’s helpful to learn how to and why to count macros, but I also know it isn’t for everyone, and not completely necessary….so it’s been great for me to have someone lead in that direction! Thank you!

— Kristen

I’m about to start keto and your sites have been very helpful in my research! I enjoy the videos and the podcasts. I like that you explain the pros and cons of everything and that you choose carefully which products to share and tell us how helpful they were to you. Basically, I appreciate how thorough you are! Thank you!

— Katie

I’ve been on the ketogenic diet for a little over a year now, and Leanne’s advice and knowledge have helped me tremendously. One of the hardest things for me at the beginning was finding foods that were keto-friendly and actually tasted good. After using all of Leanne’s recipes, I don’t struggle with sticking to a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle anymore. And I no longer have the symptoms of depression and anxiety that used to shadow me when I didn’t follow this way of eating. I used to wake up feeling tired and had to drink tons of coffee just to get through my day. Now after following Leanne’s advice and using her recipes, I’ve finally started to have mental clarity and energy, with ZERO cups of coffee.

— Lo

I love the community, supporting a keto diet that works for the individual! I love finally having a space to talk about women on keto. Plus the recipes are amazing!

— Kelsey

My husband & I started keto 27 weeks ago & it has changed us! Down 76lbs! No more sleep apnea, knee pain, IBS & so much more. You have inspired me along the way.
