Crossfit and Keto With Jocelyn Rylee
Have you ever gone against the grain when it comes to solving an issue with your health or nutrition? Jocelyn Rylee is a competitive CrossFit athlete, and after she had her second baby, she noticed that her traditional way of eating and tracking macros was no longer working for her. She experimented with Bulletproof Coffee and was soon traveling down the rabbit hole of all things MCT oil and ketones.
Jocelyn is one of only 3 coaches in Canada to hold the CrossFit Level 4 certification (the highest level available) and has the great honor of working for CrossFit HQ on the Level 1 Seminar Staff.
She has completed specialties in Endurance, Gymnastics, Competition, and Weightlifting. She also holds the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning designation (the most well-respected accreditation in strength and conditioning) and is an NCCP Level 2 Olympic Weightlifting Coach. She is a level 3 referee in the sport of Weightlifting and was a board member of the Saskatchewan Weightlifting Assoc for 5 years. (https://www.crossfitbrio.com/theteam)
