Who is Robb Wolf?

Robb Wolf is a former research biochemist, health educator, and two-time New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat. He also co-authored Sacred Cow with Diana Rodgers, exploring the role of responsibly raised meat in human health and sustainable food systems. Wolf has spent decades teaching about nutrition, metabolic health, fitness, and ancestral approaches to diet through his books, seminars, podcasts, and online work.

Wolf co-founded the first and fourth CrossFit affiliate gyms, helped create The Healthy Rebellion community, and is a co-founder of LMNT Electrolytes.
