Summary

We are excited to be joined today by Alyssa Gallagher. Alyssa is a registered dietician working at on out-patient diabetes clinic. She was introduced to low-carb seven years ago by a dietitian friend of hers at a time when she was starting to become frustrated that she was unable to help her patients lose weight or come off of insulin using the standard American diet. Having begun to see results with low-carb in her own life, she began using the dietary approach to combat diabetes and obesity with amazing results. We discuss the susceptibility of metabolically unhealthy people to disease and sickness, the importance of transparency and sharing evidence and data in a doctor/patient relationship, and tips for sustainably overcoming carb addiction.
