0:00.0	Welcome back to the Diet Doctor Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Brett Scher.
0:06.0	Today I'm joined by Dr. Sue Wolver. Now, Dr. Wolver is a specialist in internal medicine and obesity medicine
0:13.0	at a Virginia Commonwealth University. And she's the medical director of their weight loss program there.
0:20.0	Now, not only is she a clinician, though, dealing with people, director of their weight loss program there.
0:25.1	Now, not only is she a clinician, though, dealing with people helping them with weight loss,
0:29.8	and she's been doing this as a weight loss specialist focusing on low carb for the past eight years.

0:38.9	She's also, though, the recent author of a paper in Frontiers and Nutrition about her clinic success, about how they've used a low-carb intervention to help people lose weight,

1:16.1	and some of her specialist colleagues. I think that's really interesting. We're going to talk
1:20.0	about, you know, the use of medications for weight loss and type 2 diabetes. We're going to talk
1:24.6	about how to predict compliance and some of the most
1:27.9	important things to talk about and screen for when getting started, when starting somebody
1:33.7	on a low carb intervention for weight loss or for type 2 diabetes. As I mentioned, she's the
1:38.1	director of the weight loss clinic at Virginia Commonwealth University. And you can find her on
1:43.2	Twitter at low underscore carb underscore doc.
1:47.0	But without further ado, let's get into this interview with Dr. Sue Wolver.
