Welcome back to the Diet Doctor Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Brett Schur. Today I'm joined by Dr. Mariela Glantz. Now, Dr. Glant is an endocrinologist practicing in Tel Avivisra. But as we talk about, she's had quite the international journey. She was born in Argentina. Then she was in the United States where she trained in internal medicine at Harvard and endocrinology at Columbia

and then was working in New York and then eventually went to Israel where now she's the founder

and director of the Glant Center for Diabetes Care in Tel Aviv and she's even developed an

entrepreneurial side which as you'll hear was probably more by accident than by purpose but she's's the co-founder of Eat Sane and Metabolics, and she's got her own low-carb conference.

And so she is well versed and really into the low-carb world. And you're going to hear why.

I mean, you're going to hear her talk about how it's completely changed, how she sees diabetes, both type 1 and type 2,

and how she treats it and the results she gets. And we talk about, you know, lifestyle versus

medications and like some very promising new medications and how she sees the balance between

low carb nutrition and medications like SGLT2 inhibitors and even bariatric surgery.

And of course, we talk a lot about insulin and the use of insulin.

And we get into COVID.

I mean, how could we not?

And the time we're in now, I'm talking about metabolic health and COVID and the risk it poses,

but also the opportunity it brings to talk more about it.

So we kind of have a whirlwind of discussion

of all these topics, but she has so much experience, so much knowledge. I think you're really going to

appreciate hearing her perspective. And of course, she's got an upcoming lecture series,

which is taking the place of her in-person conference, which I think is going to be really

interesting, and you'll hear about that as well. So I hope

you enjoy this interview with Dr. Mariela Glant. Hi, everybody, pardon the interruption, but before we

get on with the interview, there's one more thing I wanted to mention that we actually didn't get a

chance to talk about in the interview that Dr. Glant wrote a booklet with a sweetlife.org.
