Welcome back to the Diet Doctor Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Brett Scher, the low-carb cardiologist.

Today I'm joined by Lauren Bartell Weiss from lojollautritionalhealth.com. Now, as you're going to hear me

say, this is a special interview for me because Lauren and I actually grew up across the street

from each other. How often does that happen? You know somebody practically your whole life, you go to school with them, you grow,

you grow up across the street, and then you just lose touch for years, and then reconnect over

the low-carb lifestyle. She found out what I was doing, and she is amazingly qualified for what

she's doing. So let me tell you about it. She got her master's of nutritional biochemistry from Tufts.

Then she got a PhD in behavioral nutrition from Columbia.

Then she became board certified as a clinical nutrition specialist scholar.

And then she's done research with both academic and pharma-based research, and she has her own clinical practice

where she's helping teens, she's helping adults, and she's helping them improve their lives

with a low-carb lifestyle. She has a number of practical tips, a lot from the behavioral side,

which we probably don't spend enough time talking about. So I hope you walk away from this interview with a lot of those little pearls

because she really has a lot of them and she knows what she's talking about.

She has a lot of experience, a lot of education,

and her passion for helping people really comes out.

So I truly enjoyed this interview.

It had a very special meaning for me.

I hope you can appreciate that

and you enjoy it as well. So if you want the full transcripts, go to dietdoctor.com and of course
