Episode notes

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Christine Trimpe is an author, speaker, and weight loss coach. 48 years old and 100+ pounds overweight, Christine’s health was in a precarious position. She had also been battling fatty liver disease, pre-diabetes, sleep apnea, and painful ovarian cysts. Today, her body has been set free from decades of obesity and a plethora of related health issues. How did she do it? How did she reclaim her health? It was part spiritual transformation, part mental renewal, and part nutritional understanding.
