Trending diets that explode on the general consciousness (e.g. intermittent fasting, keto, plant-based diets, carnivore, etc.) are frequently birthed by half-truths and wishful thinking and then nurtured by misinformation as they grow cult-like followings.

Bett Lucas is a busy mom (of six), wife and businessperson.
She works full time in the energy industry and has won numerous awards for her leadership and charitable projects. Bett believes you can manage a career and home life and wants to inspire those juggling both—or hoping to.
