Krisna Hanks is a certified Health Coach & LCHF/Keto Nutrition Advisor with an MSc in Kinesiology and MBA and is a fitness and Pilates Personal Trainer. She is the author of Finding Lifestyle Sanity.

As you will hear, she's a dynamic 66-year-old dynamo who shares her story on the Wisepreneurs podcast, beginning with her 33-year career as a professional dancer in the US and Europe.
