Kevin Dean Smith, CPT is the owner of A Better You Personalized Training and the creator of the high intensity FBX (Fat Burn Xtreme) Training Program. A former Fitness Manager at GoodLife Fitness—where he mentored a team of trainers—Kevin has logged more than a decade in the industry, guiding clients to shed over 10,000 pounds of excess fat and reclaim vibrant health. Kevin’s passion for evidence based fitness was forged in his own transformation: once tipping the scales near 260 lbs, he rebuilt his physique by combining smart, time efficient strength training with science backed nutrition. That journey sparked nearly 12 years of deep dive research, culminating in his latest work, Going Against The Grain, where he distills insights from hundreds of thousands of peer reviewed studies and exposes weight loss myths, supplement scams, and “quick fix” diet fads. A vocal advocate for whole food, plant forward eating and metabolic resistance training, Kevin shows readers and clients alike that: • you don’t need to swear off carbs or favorite foods to stay lean, • endless cardio and “muscle confusion” are optional (and often counter productive), and • sustainable fat loss comes from aligning biology, lifestyle, and mindset—not willpower alone. When he isn’t coaching or writing, Kevin speaks to corporate and community groups about lifestyle medicine, consults on program design for fellow trainers, and experiments in the kitchen to prove healthy meals can taste amazing. His mission is simple: equip everyday people with practical, proven tools to build muscle, burn fat, and live longer—without losing their sanity (or social life) in the process.
