📣 Country artist and songwriter Ash Taylor shares how she went from living in her car in Nashville to quitting alcohol and losing 100 pounds on a meat-heavy keto way of eating. She talks about touring sober, disordered eating, and what changed after she and her husband started keto together.

📋 Ash Taylor grew up in Bakersfield, became homeless at 18, raised her two younger brothers, and sold everything she owned to move to Nashville with no job and no place to live. In this conversation, she walks through the years of fast food, touring stress, and daily drinking that came before keto, and what she noticed once she stopped. Ash is married to Chris DeLisle of Chris Cooking Nashville, a recent Ketobiography guest, so she also tells her side of how they met and how they started this together. She hosts the ASH-PHALT podcast about life on the road, and she is clear that she and Chris are musicians, not medical professionals.
