Transforming Elder Care With Keto
Welcome to *Ketobiography* — formerly *Less of Me Success Stories*. In this episode, we sit down with **Hal Cranmer**, a former Air Force pilot turned elder care innovator who radically transforms assisted living in Arizona.
Hal shares how he left the skies for a higher mission: improving the quality of life for seniors through ketogenic nutrition, exercise, and compassion-driven care. With four residential facilities under his *A Paradise for Parents* brand, Hal proves that aging doesn’t mean giving up; it means fighting back with food, movement, and purpose.
