LOS ANGELES, California – Dec 2, 2021 – Stephen Rezza isn’t your typical millennial type. Beyond his well-dressed hipster facade and chill musician vibes, you’ll find a brain tumor survivor with a new outlook on life. Rezza was diagnosed with glioma, an often-malignant tumor generally formed in the brain or the nervous system. In March 2019, Rezza had brain surgery to remove cancer, taking up 20% of his brain. The doctors removed approximately 95% of the tumor. Fast forward two and a half years later, Rezza’s journey continues after more than 250 days and seven cycles of direct chemo with one millimeter of growth from the remaining tumor fragments. He still battles occasional debilitating seizures, but his passion for creating music continues, despite the circumstances. Rezza recently became an A&R representative for BMGM/Def7 and spends his time developing artists while pursuing his musical passions as a multi-platinum music producer and artist.
Rezza reflected, “I had an awake craniotomy. The prognosis was that I would lose the ability to play music, understand language, and possibly lose sight and hearing on my left side. Yet, I awoke a day after the brain surgery and played music on a piano in the hospital… To me, this was a miracle, and I’m grateful to God and all my prayer warriors; I’ve been writing songs about my illness, and as my journey continues to unfold, some days are better than others”.
The Keto Diet, a popular low carbohydrate and high protein diet was a healthy way for Stephen to eat and support his brain health. He wanted to lose much of the weight that he gained from chemotherapy treatments, steroids, and medications. Rezza initially lost75 lbs. over two years of following Keto. But, he later gained 30 pounds back after starting a new round of chemo treatment. Today, he’s back on track in losing weight and actively following Keto. His health journey inspired him to write a book about the
keto diet, so he invited his friend Tony Scott along for the trip. Both men invested a lot of time researching the diet and discovering the latest innovations for keto. For support, Rezza felt it was essential to do the diet with a friend who also needed to lose weight for health reasons.“Everybody needs an accountability partner. Tony and I worked closely in the music industry but were ultimately connected because of his board position with the Christina Grimmie Foundation and working with the Grimmie family to manage ChristinaGrimmie’s music posthumously,” said Rezza. The late singer and NBC’s The Voice contestant, Christina Grimmie, was Stephen’s girlfriend at the time she was tragically shot and killed in June 2016.
The book is titled Yeeto For Keto: A Ketogenic Diet & Intermittent Fasting Experience: Lose Weight, Burn Fat, and Live a Low-Carb Lifestyle Every Day! By Tony Scott and Stephen Rezza.Scott and Rezza consider themselves two regular guys who felt compelled to share their keto diet experience with the rest of the world. The title was inspired by Rezza, the younger of the two because he enjoys using the slang phrase “yeet” to celebrate his keto diet achievements. The two ultimately began affectionately referring to their diet plan as “YEETO” to maintain a spirit of excitement about losing weight and eating delicious keto-friendly foods. The book shows readers how to combine their keto diet with intermittent fasting methods for the highest health benefits and maximum weight loss. It also reveals proven weight-loss techniques that work specifically with Keto – ideal fitness exercises, effective supplements, and strategically scheduled ‘cheat-o’ days for dieters of any experience level.
Yeeto For Keto is 196 pages in full color, featuring easy-to-prepare recipes and grocery lists for dieters ready to begin their keto journey. Published under the imprint of nGagePeople LLC, the book is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other book outlets nationwide. The book is also on audiobook at Audible, featuring a PDF supplement with recipes, tips, and grocery lists.
