Ivan Cortez

Ivan is a marketing major at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. When he is not busy studying and working as a sales rep, he is dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle. With the birth of his daughter Mira, Ivan wanted to be sure he will be around for a long time to watch her grow and be a positive influence on her. About one in five children in the US are either overweight or obese. This is contributed to having a sedentary lifestyle to and consuming ultra-processed foods that are so readily available. Children follow in their parent’s footsteps so Ivan has switched to a wholesome diet, eating foods that our early ancestors would have consumed. This includes eating nose-to-tail and not being afraid to eat the less desired parts of the animal such as the liver and heart. Eating in such a primal way ensures Ivan is getting all the necessary nutrients while cutting out all of the fake foods that litter the grocery stores. Ivan believes that it’s time we all get back to our ancestral roots.
