Welcome back to the Diet Doctor Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Brett Scher. Today I'm joined by Dr. Glenn

House. Now, Dr. House, as you're going to hear, is a pretty remarkable guy. He is the medical

director at the Capron Neuro and Trauma Rehab Center in Colorado Springs. He's board-certified

in physiatry, physical medicine, and rehabilitation,

which is a specialty of medicine dealing with basically loss of function from brain

injury, spinal cord injury, strokes, even Parkinson's, people have lost function and need

to rehab to regain their neuromotor function.

But as you're going to hear, he also is a patient himself.

30 years ago, he suffered a terrible accident.

Spinal cord injury became a tetraplegic, which you'll hear him explain,

what that means for him.

So it puts him in a very unique position to understand his patients better than any other doctor and help his patients. And one aspect that really wasn't getting the attention

that he now knows it deserves is nutrition. And specifically, nutrition to impact the metabolic

health that deteriorates in spinal cord injury patients over time and nutrition that could

potentially acutely help reduce the amount of inflammation and the amount of damage done

from spinal cord injuries. This sounds like a very specific intervention, but it really has

some broad reaching potential for all neurological conditions.

So it's a really interesting topic to discuss.

So I hope you enjoy his perspective on this and our discussion on this because it really

could, it's sort of at the forefront of the research now, but has the potential to really

expand and be pretty dramatic and pretty impactful.

So it's an amazing story.
