Low Carb MD Podcast

Today we are joined by Amy Eiges—a certified health coach at Dr. Tro’s office and a coordinator for the Nutrition Coalition. Amy was a chronic dieter before she found low-carb/keto, having previously had many, many frustrating experiences with food-restrictive diets. We discuss the place of—and the usefulness of—sugar-free sweeteners in the process of recovering from sugar addiction. Additionally, we discuss the various valid insights to be found in other diet programs and philosophies, and we share tips for fasting while on a low-carb diet.

Tony Martinez, an attorney and a politician from New York, joins us today to discuss the politics and policies of Type 2 Diabetes and of Low-Carb. He has been involved in the political side of the low-carb movement since the 90s when he helped Dr. Robert Atkins pass a bill in Congress that helped make nutritional health and nutritional health products more available. Tony is interested in reforming medical education via the introduction of better nutritional training. Not only would this reform benefit the patients of our doctors, it would save the government and insurance companies a huge amount of money.

In this episode we are delighted to be joined by Robert, one of Tro’s patients. He shares with us his journey of fighting to lose weight, trying a variety of different calorie restriction diets before ultimately encountering low-carb dieting. Having finally reached the end of his patience with doctors and medications, he reached out to Dr. Tro who preceded to show him a different, sustainable way to health and weight-loss. Throughout the course of this discussion, an important undercurrent is the importance of a transparent and close patient/doctor relationship in the fight for wellness.  Contact Info:  Brian Lenzkes: Website: http://www.lowcarbadvisor.com/ Tro Kalayjian:  Website: https://www.doctortro.com/
