Chris “The Kiwi” Ashenden is the creator of Athletic Greens, the worlds most complete whole food supplement.
Chris is all about happiness, personal growth, living outside the box, and enjoying a spectacular life.
He had been to 43 countries before his 13th birthday, and decided to retire in 2005 to spend 4 years traveling the planet full time.
Now very much un-retired, with a ton of friends in crazy places, 60 plus countries under the belt, and some amazing memories, he is focused on using what he can remember from his studies for a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science and his cumulative years as a nutritionist and strength coach to help other people enjoy amazing levels of health and energy.
