| 02 Mar 2020 | Episode 91: Dr. Gurpreet Padda | 01:15:36 | |
Today we are joined by Dr. Gurpreet Padda, a man of great learning and with a great interest in metabolic health and nutrition. He became interested in metabolic health when he noticed that, woking in adult pain at the time, 91% of his patients were overweight. Through observation and experimentation, he noticed that metabolic inflammation was at the epicenter of pain, addiction, and obesity. Ever since that realization, he has continued to work toward sharing his findings and increasing his understanding of the issue. His work led him ultimately to understand that social isolation is an extremely significant factor in addiction/overeating. We also discuss in detail the metabolic impact of various foods, the importance of insulin as a marker for disease, and the importance of achieving satiety in the process of recovering from food addiction.

| 22 Jan 2024 | Episode 321: RD Dikeman, PhD | 01:12:41 | |
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. R.D. Dikeman, PhD, is a theoretical physicist and loving husband of Roxanne Dikeman, PhD, a clinical psychologist. Their world was turned upside down when their young son David was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. After following conventional dietary advice for this condition led to uncontrollable blood sugar, dangerous “hypos,” and many sleepless nights, R.D. discovered the work of Dr. Richard Bernstein, MD, a medical doctor who has used a low-carbohydrate diet to control his own type 1 diabetes for more than fifty years and pioneered some of the most groundbreaking research on low-carbohydrate diets for diabetes in the modern era. Through working closely with Dr. Bernstein and as a founder of the Type One Grit online community, R.D. has helped provide thousands of other individuals and families living with type 1 diabetes with information to reduce the threat of complications and attain the truly normal blood sugars that all type 1 diabetics deserve. In this episode, Drs. Tro, Brian, and RD talk about what drew RD into the world of Type 1 Diabetes treatment, RD’s son’s Type 1 diagnosis, how the Type One Grit group came to be, why low carb is the optimal diet for diabetics, how to still eat what you want on a low-carb diet, big problems with the ADA, why Type One athletes do better on a low carb diet, the upcoming Low Carb Boca conference, and why having courage and integrity is needed in order to bring life saving information to Type One diabetics.

Today we are joined not only by a great guest, but a great new co-host, Kristin Baer—Brian’s new partner at his recently opened private practice weight loss clinic in San Diego. We are very excited to have Dr. Ramon Issa on the show today! Dr. Issa, a board-certified family medicine physician, relates his story which, though it begins with frustration and burnout, ends ultimately in hope. His frustration arose from the awareness of an ever present reality—he could not understand the root cause of diabetes. He ultimately discovered how to burn body fat as fuel and how to reverse metabolic disease through self-experimentation and determination. Thanks for listening in to hear this very inspiring story.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. In this special episode, Dr. Tro is joined by Dave Feldman, Dr. Nick Norwitz, and Dr. Adrian Soto Mota. In this podcast, Doctor Tro interviews these guests, who are also his co-authors, on their new paper published in the journal Current Developments in Nutrition. The paper found that there may be ways to predict which people will experience a rise in their LDL on a low carb diet and those who won't. Furthermore, they showed in a case series of patients from Doctor Tro's office that this high cholesterol may be reversible with the re-introduction of carbohydrates. In this conversation, Tro, Nick, Adrian, and Dave talk about the fruits of their research and years of labor. Among the topics discussed are the elimination of biases from research findings and observations, the lean mass hyper responder phenotype, how to determine individual likelihood of risk for various diseases, observations on fluctuations in LDL cholesterol and its relationship to dietary saturated fat, current research projects in the works, and the psychology of Twitter hate.

Today we are joined by Forage Agronomist and Ruminant Nutritionist, Dr. Peter Ballerstedt. His main message for us today is simply this: there is no sustainable food system without ruminant animal agriculture. Ruminant animals (like cows), have gotten a bad rap (from an environmental and a dietary perspective) for a long time, but Dr. Ballerstedt is here to show us the facts—and those facts run quite contrary to the popular perspective. We discuss no-till farming, cover crops, and the importance of soil health, all the while making connections between these agricultural topics and human health/general well-being. We also discuss the contention that, from a food-ethics perspective, the lowest possible amount of organisms are harmed by human agriculture (all things considered) when people eat large herbivores.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Bob Collins spent 25 years serving in law enforcement in New York City. About 7 years ago, he discovered the ketogenic/low-carb diet and was able to revolutionize his personal health picture.

In this conversation, Dr. Tro, Dr. Brian, and Bob talk about the unfortunate power that shame and embarrassment wields against you in your struggle to recover your health, the place of exercise in overall health, dealing with Lyme disease and how low-carb can help, fighting for health while working in law enforcement, being ok with small beginnings on your health journey, finding purpose and finding your ‘why’, the necessity of making time for your mental health, and how Bob and Dr. Tro met.
