A former professional cyclist who competed until age 53, his journey with the paleo diet began when he was a student at CSU studying under Dr. Loren Cordain, the diet's originator. Initially skeptical, his attempts to disprove the diet's principles led him to become one of its strongest advocates after experiencing significant improvements in his own health and athletic performance.Dr. McMath is the Chief Content Officer at The Paleo Diet, LLC, bringing her background in health advocacy and integrative healthcare to the team. She has a diverse career history having worked in academic integrative oncology partnerships, nonprofits within public and professional health education, and more.
