Low Carb MD Podcast

Today we are joined by Dr. Rob Cywes. We begin by discussing how one may avoid relapsing into eating carbohydrates by changing their perspective on Keto. We hear about the various negative outcomes of high carbohydrate consumption, the fundamental problems with the healthcare system in the United States, and the function of LDL in the body. Dr. Cywes encourages us that we must all begin to rethink, with reference to real, hard evidence, what is “normal” to eat.

Coco is an ex-Weight Watchers coach and is currently a health and wellness coach at Vita Pura. Telling us about her journey with food and dieting, she explains how she tried for many years to lose weight and achieve a healthy state of being before she found low-carb. After being diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, she encountered what she calls the ‘disease management’ system of medicine which merely prescribes medications without effecting actual healthfulness. It wasn’t until a friend helped her get started with the keto diet that she began to see real health and wellness come into her life. We discuss how people can make lasting changes in their eating habits, how low-carb eating could reverse the advances of disease, and the devastating effects of anxiety and stress.   Contact Info: Coco: Instagram: weightwatchergoneketo Brian Lenzkes: Website: http://www.lowcarbadvisor.com/ Tro Kalayjian: Website: https://www.doctortro.com/
