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.

I’m a long-time fan of your work. I started keto about a year and a half ago, thanks to your awesome Fat-Fueled plan. I got both the Keto Beginning and Fat-Fueled since I had no idea how to even shift to a high-fat diet. I have a variety of health issues (Lyme’s disease, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and all the accompanying fun things that those entail, the list is long so I won’t bore you) and shifting to high fat brought a lot of relief to the GI issues I was experiencing as well as helping me mentally. I too wrestled with anorexia for many years and so really, really appreciate how you approach the mental aspect of the relationship with food, body image, and health.

Thank you for all that you do. I love your intuitive “you do you” approach. That approach makes keto possible for us normal folk.

— Sarah-Jane

I just received your book (The Keto Diet) yesterday and I have only read a couple pages worth, but already I can see the similarities to my life and how this is going to give me the confidence I’m needing to continues on and fight the “haters.” I’m always the kind of person that reads everything before just jumping into something new. It’s amazing how no matter what I try to do to improve MY life, there is so much negative response when people don’t understand. I just thought you should know you touched someone in need.

— Jennifer

Leanne Vogel’s approach to Keto and overall health is exactly what I’ve been searching for. I’d tried a strict approach to Keto for tweaking body composition after having been Paleo for a few years, but it didn’t work for me. Having had food sensitivities forever, new digestive issues began to emerge due to hormonal changes, so I began carb-ups with success! I’m once again golden in the gym, my hair is staying on my head instead of circling the drain and I’m on my way to regaining control of my digestive health. There’s a ton of information out there, but Leanne’s attention to how WOMEN respond to a Ketogenic lifestyle is not only refreshing, but life-changing.

I’ve been struggling with several health conditions for over 10+ years and I’m only 28. This last year has been particularly tough as my husband and I began unsuccessful fertility treatments and I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. I was in a very bad place at the end of 2017 mentally, physically, and emotionally. I turned to keto under your support and for the first time in a year, I could get out of bed. It was your support through your podcast and the resources you provide us that has given me the strength to stand up for myself and love myself again. You have given me the courage to start my own blog and share my story, something I thought I would never, ever have the guts to do. I just want to thank you for showing such strength and reminding me that I have the power over my thoughts and feelings about myself.

— Amalia

I find your information very helpful. Recommended recipes help me stay on track and carb ups keep me happy and healthy. I found the key to a convenient, satisfying eating style and your advice has been an important part of that. Thank you.

— Lorraine

I ADORE YOU!! Your podcast is changing my life and the filter in which I view myself especially postpartum. It is no longer about weight loss, but feeling the best I can as a mom! I bought your Keto Diet book and am excited to join your Facebook group as well! Thanks from the bottom of my heart. I literally can’t stop telling everyone to listen!!

— Whitney

I had been at a plateau in my weight loss for over a month. After watching your videos about fasting and carbing-up, I’m finally back into losing weight! Thanks for all the great tips. I enjoy learning about keto and all of its aspects.

— Heather

I just wanted to send you a message telling you how much I enjoy listening to your podcast. I found you on Instagram right as I decided to try keto. You have been so inspirational and I have learned so much from you. I tell my friends that I binge listened to your podcast because I listened to every episode since April this year, and I have enjoyed every one of them. I listen to them mostly while I’m running and get to the end of my run without even realizing it because I have been so focused on the information I’m hearing. I also wanted to tell thank you for the quality of the content that you share. I just wanted to share with you that I have enjoyed your show from the beginning but now that I’m caught up and trying to find another show I realized just how much I enjoyed it. Thank you for all you do for this community.

— Jamie

I love the podcast! Super different than others! Leanne, you make me feel like a friend is advising me!

— Carmen

WOW! That’s all I have to say. I came across your website a couple weeks ago and I can’t get enough. As a newly graduated Holistic Nutritionist, I am now questioning what I have learned in school and how I will be treating clients. You have definitely changed my way of thinking and I am on the path of recommending Keto-Healthful Pursuit style to my new clients. Thank you for being real, true to yourself and inspiring.

— Karine

Love your channel and podcasts, I also love that you make sure we don’t feel guilty for slip-ups. You have helped me A LOT through my 15 months of keto and look up to you a lot! I hope to meet you someday at a meet and greet.

— Amanda

I’m new to Leanne’s version of the ketogenic lifestyle and I’m feeling better every day! I was starting to look and feel my age, and now I feel like my 30-year-old self and back in my sexy clothes! Life is good!

— Janice

Love your book and love your podcasts. I had an issue with my heart a year ago and it scared me into taking that expensive blood test for food allergies. I had severe toxins from candida and horrible intolerance to sugar and turkey, among other things. My cardiologist said it wasn’t food allergies causing my heart issues, but for the first time I said “not yet” to a doctor wanting to do surgery. Six weeks later with no sugar, low carbs and healthy fats…heart issue is GONE! My doctor was baffled, and one year later I am 50 pounds less.

— Pam

What I love best about Healthful Pursuit is that Leanne is a real person, who gains knowledge through trial and error and is willing to change, learn, and grow. That’s real inspiration!
