Why Your Metabolism Is Key To Preventing Disease, With Metabolic Neurologist, Dr Matthew Phillips
Today, I have a fascinating discussion with Dr Matthew Phillips, a certified Neurologist, who calls himself The metabolic Neurologist. Matt grew up in Canada and trained in Australia. Upon completing neurology training in Melbourne, he realized that I had no interest in going the usual route of further specializing in a particular neurological disorder. I wanted to specialize in a therapy, but no such fellowship existed. Thus, Matt bought a one-way ticket to the other side of the world and departed the medical system, travelling and worked in different places for 3 years, creating his own sort of self-taught fellowship during which I learned about a variety of therapeutic possibilities. It dawned on Matt that metabolic strategies, particularly fasting and ketogenic diets, were promising therapeutic options for a range of disorders. Ultimately, Matt wants to help create a new field of Metabolic Neurology that emphasizes applying metabolic strategies in healthcare so as to potentially heal many difficult disorders at their core, with the overarching goal being the improved health and enhanced nobility of humanity. Check out the resources section on Matt's website, which are bloody awesome.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
