I think about being fat, eating fat, burning fat, good fat, bad fat, blood fat, milk fat, butterfat, sat fat, trans fat, poly fat, mono fat, cooking fat—tallow, butter, lard, ghee, fatty meat—plant fat, fake fat, crude fat, brain fat, blood fat, liver fat, and why in the hell we store fat in pockets and rolls that look like saddle bags, thunder thighs, and double or triple chins.

I feel like I could write a whole book about fat and how it impacts every part of our lives and still not know how to lose it off my own body.

Even knowing most of it is expelled through breath, and doing lots of yoga, cardio, and mindful meditation, there are still a lot of places on my body it loves to collect—and won’t leave.

Working so hard at getting unwanted parts of me off while still loving myself is the epitome of self-love... you have no idea how much I hate my spare tires, muffin tops, and bat wings.

I have been trying to butter it up to get it loose—like you use fat to get sticky stuff off a bottle if you don’t have any Goo Gone.

The world is waiting for me to tell the story. The story of my life, my knowledge, my experiences, my healing, and my pain.

I’m Kris Wear. I grew up in my mom’s health food store that she opened in 1977 when I was 6. My dad was a chiropractor so mostly what I was exposed to was alternative healing, very little allopathic medicine. I worked in that store my whole life, eventually bought my mom out, and built a thriving business selling natural products. For close to 50 years, I have lived and breathed the health and wellness industry.

Several years ago God told me (I didn’t even believe in God) I had to write a book (I didn’t even know how to write) about living a life showing people they didn’t need “magic” pills (I even owned a pill store) so, in 2020, at the height of my success, I closed my store. I thought maybe I’d renovate, have a revolution against what the natural products industry had become. (insert big corp buyouts and amazon Whole Foods supply chain ownership) But when I really looked at it, I realized I’d have to keep selling products I didn’t believe in. So in 2021, I closed it down for good.

For the past 5+ years, I’ve been getting up in the wee hours of the morning (not my choice but that’s when my muse strikes) to write, to learn, to build. Having every worldview I held shattered and rebuilt. I have not only been changing my world views, I have changed my entire being - physical, mental, spiritual. Body, mind and soul.

Getting your worldviews shattered is tough. I’ve had most of mine destroyed-about food, health, the natural products industry, what’s actually making us sick, what actually heals us. Now I want to shatter yours too, so you can feel free.

We wear our lives like we wear our clothes. Everything we eat, drink, breathe, think, and do shows up in and on us. Most people are wearing sickness, synthetic materials, and lies they’ve been sold. I’m here to help you strip that off and rebuild.

My knowledge and wisdom have come from my personal experiences and I am excited to share. This is my real life, my real transformation, my real observations from decades inside the system.

Welcome in, friends.

I've got some exciting news to share…I'm diving headfirst into writing not one, not two, but at least three books right now! Okay, truth be told, there might be a few more ideas bubbling up in the background, but I'm laser-focused on these three to bring them to life. As any writer knows, the key to turning dreams into reality is to start weaving those words into existence, one thread at a time. So, here I am, committing to the page and inviting you along for the journey. These books stem from my personal experiences, insights, and awakenings, and they're all tied to the core philosophy of "wearing life" with intention and awareness.

Let's start with the flagship: Wear Life, a self-help guide that's all about reframing how we approach our existence. Think of it this way, we wear life like we wear clothes. Every choice, every habit, every mindset is a fiber that contributes to the fabric of our daily reality, ultimately weaving the grand tapestry of our lives. This book is designed to empower you to recognize those fibers, to choose them wisely, and craft a life that fits you perfectly. Whether you're stuck in a rut or seeking deeper fulfillment, Wear Life will offer practical tools, stories, and exercises to help you tailor your world from the inside out.

Next up is Wear's - The Beef!, my deep dive into the nutrition and food world through the lens of my carnivore awakening. This one is personal, it's the story of how shifting to an animal-based diet transformed my health, led to significant weight loss, and unlocked a host of unexpected benefits like sharper mental clarity, sustained energy, and overall vitality. I'll break down the science, share my triumphs and challenges, and challenge the myths surrounding plant based diets. If you've ever wondered about going carnivore or just want to optimize your fuel for a better "wear" on life, this book will serve up the beef, both literally and figuratively.

Finally, there's Big Natural, a memoir-meets-exposé on my years in the natural products industry. I grew up in this space thinking it was the antidote to Big Pharma, a world of wholesome, earth-friendly alternatives. But over time, I've come to see it's often the same snake, just with different heads: corporate interests, misleading claims, and profit-driven agendas masquerading as "natural" solutions. Through anecdotes from my career, industry insights, and hard-learned lessons, this book will pull back the curtain on what's really going on and encourage a more discerning approach to wellness. It's a call to question the labels and seek true authenticity in our choices.

These projects are in their early stages, but sharing them here feels like the perfect first step to manifesting them. I'll be posting updates, snippets, and behind-the-scenes thoughts right here on Wear Life Journal, so stay tuned if you're interested in following the progress. Your support and feedback mean the world—drop a comment below if any of these resonate with you or if you have questions!

Wearing life with purpose,

Kris Wear
