Low Carb MD Podcast Dr. Brian Lenzkes & Dr. Tro

We are joined on the show today by Dr. Agnes Ayton, a consulting psychiatrist at Oxford who has been doing some amazing work on eating disorders and ultra-processed foods.

Today’s discussion centers around the question, ‘What are the implications of the changing patterns of food consumption—both on metabolic, neurobiological pathways, and on eating disorders?’

Dr. Nick Greiner is a Certified Functional Medicine Physician. Dr. Greiner’s discovery of the Low Carb lifestyle intervention came about because of his mother’s journey to rid herself of chronic migraines. After seeing a dozen different doctors who prescribed medications to no effect, she met a doctor who helped her eliminate her migraines via lifestyle intervention. No meds, just lifestyle change.

We are joined yet again on the show by a wonderful new guest! Dr. Jamie Seeman is a board-certified Ob/Gyn, a fellow in integrative medicine, a certified ketogenic nutritional specialist, a former college athlete, a mother, and a wife. Dr. Seeman has been doing some amazing things with low-carb.

Next, Dr. Jay earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Boston University School of Medicine, researching fats, hormones, and cholesterol.

Today we are joined not only by a great guest, but a great new co-host, Kristin Baer—Brian’s new partner at his recently opened private practice weight loss clinic in San Diego. We are very excited to have Dr. Ramon Issa on the show today! Dr. Issa, a board-certified family medicine physician, relates his story which, though it begins with frustration and burnout, ends ultimately in hope.
