Episode 60 is a thoughtful conversation with my great friend Nadir Ali MD, recorded last October in his Houston home. Nadir is a cardiologist who is highly motivated to achieve the best outcomes for his patients. He also manages to carry out an extraordinary level of research into all aspects of health. Nadir has released many excellent videos where he delivers detailed lectures on lipids, glucose/insulin dynamics, atherosclerosis drivers, drug interactions and much, much more. He runs a busy cardiology practice in Houston, TX - and also created and led the Low Carb Houston conferences in 2018/2019.
Nadir's YouTube channel is here but note that many of his excellent talks are available from various conference websites where he has been on stage: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeHgajYvGU-jHgf1QCa1lbg
You can also find Nadir being appropriately outspoken on Twitter, clarifying how things really work in health and metabolism: https://twitter.com/eatmostlyfatali
