Take Control of Your Life: The Keto Diet with Mauna Burgess 
When Mauna first joined the Berad crew, it took him awhile to get used to the fast-paced and physically grueling experience of being on production. Video production days are long, hot, requiring lots of walking, bending, and carrying heavy equipment. A year ago, he decided to work towards his goal of being a complete cinematographer by going to work on his health.
Since beginning his Keto journey in 2019, he lost almost 60 lbs., at the same time finding a new hunger for a lifestyle he's always wanted.
He talks to Brad Watanabe about how Keto totally changed his relationship with food and opened doors to activities and lifestyles that he never thought was possible.
