Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. By the time Scott hit his late 40s/early 50s he weighed over 550 pounds thanks to his adherence to the standard American dietary/exercise advice. It was not until Scott began walking, fasting, and reading the work of Jason Fung and others that he was able to start dropping weight and getting healthy. Similarly, Scott’s wife, Camille has been able to radically improve her personal health following the same dietary principles that her husband discovered. Together they run the website Improvisational Keto Kitchen—a site which provides a number of dietary tools, hacks, techniques, and recipes that Scott and Camille have adapted or developed to make the very low carbohydrate lifestyle not only sustainable, but enjoyable. 
In this episode, Tro, Brian, Scott, and Camille talk about the power of fasting, the work of Vinnie Tortorich and Jason Fung, the spiritual impetus for the beginning of Scott’s weight loss journey, why abstinence is often better than moderation for those struggling to lose weight and/or stick with their diet, how Camille’s arthritis, anxiety, asthma, fibromyalgia, and allergies have improved, how Scott and Camille support and help each other to continue down the path of health, the importance of having a ‘why’ motivating your health journey, avoiding the ‘reformed smoker’s mentality’ after you discover a health lifestyle that works for you, and the power of consistent effort.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Robert Lustig is Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases. He is also the author of many popular and influential books on the topics of nutrition and metabolic health (see links below). His qualifications, education, and full list of accomplishments are too extensive to list in their entirety here (see link below for his full bio).
In this episode, Tro, Brian, and Rob talk about how Rob first discovered that fructose was so unhealthy, why suppressing insulin is key to metabolic health, why Western people in general are still opposed to or wary of the message that ‘sugar is bad’, why whole food diets are the ideal for human health, reasons why fiber in the diet is beneficial, why processed food may be a necessary evil in our modern food landscape and how we can make ultra-processed foods healthier in light of that possibility, the basic principles of making ultra-processed food healthier and what makes food healthy for humans in general, mitochondrial toxins (what they are, and where they come from), and the amygdala’s role in psychiatric disease.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Paul Kolodzik is a double board-certified emergency and metabolic-health physician with thirty years of experience. As a private-practice metabolic MD, Dr. Kolodzik has used continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to help thousands of patients lose weight and prevent and reverse disease. In his first book, The Continuous Glucose Monitoring Revolution, Dr. Kolodzik presents a comprehensive program for metabolic-health success using CGM. He is also the Medical Director and Owner of Metabolic MD and is a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Physicians. In addition to holding a B.S. in Molecular Biology from Notre Dame and a Doctor of Medicine from Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, he has a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Dallas.
In this episode, Tro and Paul talk about how the medical landscape and, specifically, the diabetes treatment landscape is changing, why CGMs are a huge part of this change in the landscape, why CGMs are so effective for weight-loss and diabetes reversal, how the changing landscape is a movement toward the democratization of health, whether the term ‘reversed’ is appropriate when speaking of diabetes and metabolic disease, a few key problems in the standard Western healthcare education model, and the benefits of smaller private medical practices that are owned by doctors.
