The Making of EGK
I gave myself this nickname in late 2021 to give me the courage and determination i'd need to take this stuff to the end once and for all.
It really shakes me sometimes as I talk to some of the folks that are doing Reviv and schedule calls with me.
Because it shows me just how beautiful humanity can be.
Despite all the crap in the world. People can still care for one another and do amazing, selfless things.
My recent chat with someone caring for his cousin
I was talking to this guy yesterday who had reached out on behalf of his cousin who has some very serious health issues and is basically not able to do many things.
And at one point I remember me asking how old his cousin was. To which his answer was that his cousin was in his 40’s.
Which perplexed me… why wasn’t the guy’s parents or wife making this call and taking care of him?
But i guess there is no wife and the parents are no longer in the picture. And here his cousin was taking on that courageous battle of caring for him.
Trying to soak up as much information as he could in this maze of disinformation that surrounds this whole space.
It touched me.
And it reinforced to me just how important it is that i continue to get this message out.. so that others continue to spread it.
And more and more folks open their minds to giving it a try.
How I came up with my nickname EGK
As I was reflecting on this yesterday I decided i’d share a bit more about my own story.
How I came up with the pen name ‘EGK’.
It stands for End Game Ken.
You see it was sometime around late 2021 and I’d realized that I remembered how this whole shit works. I was using my tracking splint, remembering the things i’d concluded earlier about the curve of spee, and making consistent progress.
But i still looked and functioned pretty crap to be honest.
If you saw me, i looked like an old middle age fart. And i was just vegging out each night on Netflix for 6+ hours because I felt like my brain was fried still.
And this after seven years (since 2014) of fixing myself and then screwing it up again.
But I knew things were about to get better. As I finally understood the puzzle.
The pieces finally all fit together.
And so to motivate myself I decided I was gonna call myself ‘End Game Ken’. Because i was gonna friggin win in the end!
People would laugh at me when i’d say this
When I told friends and folks that knew me well that I thought i’d figured things out back then they just kind of laughed at me.
I’d try to explain my logic on why I thought i’d finally figured out how it worked, but they weren’t really interested.
They’d just look at me and kinda infer that I should go to the gym or eat healthier.
And when they did this it would frustrate me.
But i wouldn’t say anything. Rather i’d just think to myself… “you’ll see. I am EGK. And I got this end game on lock!”
Which if i’d said aloud would have definitely sounded hilarious to them.
As the years move on I continue to use this nickname as a reminder
It is a reminder to me that this stuff takes time and I need to be patient.
But things continue to improve.
A little each day.
For over three years.
My body, function, everything just improves incrementally.
And I move closer and closer to that light at the end of the tunnel.
As I trudge along…. I like reminding myself that “I am EGK” and that I have already declared victory in the end. And thus it must be!
No excuses.
No cheating.
I will eat crap, do no exercise, and plan to achieve a great body & near perfect facial symmetry.
It needs to be done to show the world that it is possible.
And that this current exercise & nutrition paradigm that has pervaded is not correct. But rather that stuff is important ONLY IF the biomechanics are wrong.
But if the biomechanics are right.. you can do and eat whatever you want.
Closing thoughts
Some folks out there doing Reviv are hitting their initial plateau and might be a bit discouraged.
They may think that they’ve progressed all that they are gonna progress.
And i’m here to say no. You can progress further.
But it requires work. And determination.
Sometimes you will need to dig deep.
And remind yourself of all that you’ve suffered in the past.
Then you push on. You keep iterating. You keep learning.
Because that is how you will win.
So do you want to win?
I do.
Because after all… i’ve named myself ‘End Game Ken’… LOL
I feel the same way about the carnivore diet. I honestly can’t believe that this wasn’t known long ago.
I’ve cured my arthritis, my IBS, and my brain fog. I’m no longer fatigued.
It cured my husband’s COPD, inflammation, he no longer drinks alcohol. His alcoholism cured. We’re no longer hungry and only eat one or two meals a day, and we can do this because we are never hungry. We typically eat. Beef, Butter, Bacon, and eggs, sometimes a pork rib or two.
We truly are what we eat. Carnivore diet is still blowing my mind. I had to figure all this out myself. Trial and error. Once I figured out it was the fiber that was making me a bloody mess, everything else started to fall in place.
I read Fiber Menace. (Free on internet)
And a few days later found Dr Ken Berry on YouTube. The rest is history.
My friends think I’m crazy too. But they are watching… and they are starting to ask questions.
Once they get sick… they’ll remember you, and seek answers.
Edit: Also, I’ve had horrible tumors on my upper inside jaw. I was referred to an oral surgeon. I didn’t go as I was afraid of what they’d find.
This way of eating has them almost gone. My tongue fits my mouth again.
I have all my teeth except one upper back molar I had pulled in 2022
Carnivore has really helped my dental hygiene. No more plague to deal with!
Just like brand names, monocles are created to define or inspire a product or project. Giving yourself an aspirational name instead of just "Ken" is a powerful concept.
Take EON, the production company behind the James Bond films. Though unverified, it is widely believed that EON stands for "Everything Or Nothing." When Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli founded the company, they were taking a huge leap—Saltzman had never produced a film before, and Broccoli’s past projects were relatively small in scale. Their first Bond film, Dr. No, needed to break even to justify the risk.
During those uncertain early years, the name EON may have served as a mantra, reinforcing their commitment to go all in—just like Ian Fleming’s iconic character. Whatever the original intent, the name has stood the test of time. Sixty years later, EON Productions remains stronger than ever.
