Stay Off My Operating Table How One Runner's Metabolic Crisis Sparked a Movement That's Changing Healthcare - Doug Reynalds
Doug Reynolds thought he was bulletproof until his running career collapsed under mysterious weight gain and joint pain. Three weeks studying ketones changed everything—launching Low Carb USA and the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. What emerged wasn't just conferences but sanctuary for practitioners facing hostility from colleagues who resist dietary intervention. Reynolds breaks conventional barriers: speakers scatter among attendees, forging relationships that span the country. After a three-year battle, the Society now offers ACCME-accredited continuing education credits, legitimizing metabolic medicine. January 23-25, 2026 conference at lowcarbusa.org.

BIG IDEA
The loneliness of practitioners who face hostility for recommending dietary interventions has created an urgent need for community—and Low Carb USA became that refuge by accident, simply by bringing people together in the same room.
