Ryan Gleason
Hey, I'm Ryan! A fitness and nutrition consultant, entrepreneur, published author, and father of two who won the husband jackpot.
With my bachelor's degree in engineering and life experience, I help others make fitness and nutrition decisions, learn science-backed strategies to boost wellness, and self-experiment to optimize their health, happiness, and relationships.
I share my discoveries in our popular newsletter, and have been featured in online publications such as Greatist, Elephant Journal, Tough Mudder, Thrillist, and POPSUGAR.

Originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, I now reside in Medellin, Colombia, with my growing family.
