Who on Earth?
Stuart van Tonder
Creator & Executive Producer
Stuart has witnessed first-hand the inadequate response of the healthcare industry to NCDs. Through his work he knew that somewhere a simple and crisp answer to this global problem lay in nutrition – he just never knew exactly what it was.
Things dramatically changed when he heard Prof Tim Noakes being interviewed on the radio in January 2014 – the penny dropped: he started Banting (keto/LCHF/low-carb) immediately and dramatically changed his life in 4 weeks leading him to conceive The Banting Showdown in 2017, with help from his friends in the film industry.
Meeting Iekraam has added rocket fuel to the trajectory of this reality series! Sharing the knowledge and science of the ketogenic lifestyle is his greatest calling.
Iekraam Adams
Co-Creator & Executive Producer
He first discovered his passion for human interest narratives in a remote compound in Zambia while filming a documentary on the “Forced Child-Marriage plight”, 2006.
Armed with a degree in Human Rights and Democracy, 2006, he strives towards demonstrating philanthropy in all he does.
2018, Iekraam encounters an audacious personality, Stuart van Tonder, who introduces him to the world of Banting. Invited to partner in a radical idea set to change the course of history namely, The Banting Showdown, Iekraam agrees to get on board but not without first performing his own litmus test to verify the Banting/LCHF/Keto/Carnivore diet.
Several months later Iekraam is a sold-out Carnivore passionate about the lifestyle, and moreover, the positive life-changing effects it has on NCDs.
