Welcome to the low-carb MD podcast, where we seek progress, not perfection.

Hello and welcome back to the low-carb MD podcast this is kind of fun where we're kind of reviewing everything

How do we get to this point me and throw just kind of fell off the turnip truck somewhere and got together. It's kind of crazy because people ask us a lot how

do we meet? Troy how do we meet man?

Yeah it's funny you know I got this this call from this really really elderly doctor about you know one and a

half years ago two years ago I was really old guy with like gray hair and he was talking to me about Matlock and I Love Lucy

reruns and somehow then he came up with this idea to go on a podcast you know about

this guy? No I never heard of him man. Sounds cool though.

No listen, you know the really cool guy honestly about one and a half

years ago actually now we started talking we started talking online and you said, hey, let's talk,

let's talk about doing a podcast and you gave me a call and you said, hey, I'm really thinking about doing

this podcast. And you took a chance on me. I was just like a little thug on Twitter and you know, here we are the year and a half later, you know,

interviewing some of our, you know, biggest role models and mentors so so you tell me how did this

get started that's crazy I mean started with you really yeah it's crazy what

happened is I was gonna to give a talk.

I was donating my time, gave a talk with Brett Schir of all people, who is now the medical director

of Diet Doctor, and a few other guys, Jeff Carterman, I said, hey guys, I'm really into this low car,

but I really want us to get this going.

So I was going to give a talk at a local church, Foothills, who's been awesome. you know so I thought I'm going to reach out to the two

keto dudes I was listening to their podcast learned a ton from those guys and so Richard

emailed me back he's like are you selling ketones I I was like, no, why? And he said, why are you doing this talk? And I said, well, I'm just giving this talk. I'm volunteering. I'm a doc and you know, I've been impacted. I'm losing weight. I'm feeling well. And I just want to get the word out.

And he goes, come on the podcast.
