Hello Friends!
Thanks for stopping by! I'm Max Schindler, a Chef & Nutritionist in the Philadelphia area, but grew up in Boulder, Colorado.
If you feel tired of riding the roller coaster of health & weight challenges and are confused about what to believe from all of the conflicting nutrition & diet advice our there, then you are in the right place!
I created Chef Theory Health to help motivate, educate & inspire others to achieve their goals in health & wellness. After achieving success in my own health journey I felt an overwhelming obligation to create a community with resources to help others do the same
MY STORY
I grew up as an active kid playing sports through high school and eating a pretty standard American diet, but maintained a health weight. Throughout my years in college at the University of Colorado I gained a typical 10-20lbs living the usual student life. Over the next 10-15 years of starting a family, opening a restaurant and continuing a pretty typical lifestyle I found myself at nearly 300lbs!
Over those years of gaining weight every few years I would get motivated to "eat right and exercise more" only to find myself quickly gaining it back plus more. This yo-yo continued until I finally got truly motivated to take control of my health in 2018.
Over the following 4 years I did bit of everything along the way including: counting calories, various exercise routines, Weight Watchers, Keto, Fasting, Plant Based and more, experiencing challenges and success along the way, but still feeling a bit lost. None of them felt like "The Answer".
In early 2020 stumbled across a YouTube video that introduced me to the concept that food acts as information in our body, and about some basic physiological responses within the body. It fascinated me to learn about the power of nutrition and how BIG of an impact it can make.
This fascination soon turned into an obsession to learn everything I could about nutrition science. After a year of self study including endless YouTube videos, podcasts and books on the subject I finally enrolled in the Full Body Systems program to become a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor through the Functional Nutrition Alliance.
At 4 years into my journey, having lost over 70lbs and feeling great, I founded Chef Theory Health. I knew that by combining my 20+years of culinary experience with my Nutrition knowledge and success of my own health journey I could help a lot of people!
