- Robb’s mom had a lot of health problems. He had this sneaky suspicion that better food and exercise could lead to better outcomes.
- So, Robb was interested in health at an early age.
- He was a California State powerlifting champion and got into Thai boxing and jujitsu pretty early on.
- It led to an undergrad in biochemistry, and then he was looking at either medical school or the research track.

- Eventually, he changed over to a paleo diet, and it saved his life.
