Meet Your Podcast Guests

The Behavior Chefs (Clint Evans and Tony Chambers) Clint Evans is the founder and creator and The Behavior Chef. Clint has spent a life of yo-yo dieting and a few years ago hit the highest point in his weight to date. After he and his wife both decided to make a behavioral change, he has lost a total of 60 pounds and continues to keep it off and strives to reach other goals related to weight loss and nutrition. Clint has been in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis for the past 7 years. After becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, he noticed the field pushing into Health, Sports, and Fitness, but not much push was seen for specifically nutrition. This is where The Behavior Chef was born. Clint created the Behavior Chef to help others change their habits and contingencies surrounding nutrition, cooking, and misinformation that leads people into "fad diets" and away from sustainable, behavior change. He hopes that The Behavior Chef can open doors to avenues between the worlds of Nutrition and Behavior and hopes to inspire and help others change their lifestyles and habits for the better along the way.Tony Chambers is a BCBA living and working in Saint Louis, Missouri as the behavior analyst at Neuwoehner High School, a high school which specifically serves student with a variety of needs. Tony received his master’s in special education from the University of Missouri-Columbia and completed his BCBA coursework through Florida Institute of Technology. Beyond the daily grind of the school walls Tony’s interests lie in how behavior analysis could be utilized to help individuals learn to be better cooks. Increased skills in the kitchen lead to decreasing response effort of healthy food prep and consumption. As an obsessive home cook of 15 years, he joined Clint Evans’ venture, The Behavior Chef, in early 2019. Together they are researching the relationship between behavior and nutrition in hopes to confirm Applied Behavior Analysis as a viable and important role in an individual’s overall wellness journey.
