Summary
Today we are joined not only by a great guest, but a great new co-host, Kristin Baer—Brian’s new partner at his recently opened private practice weight loss clinic in San Diego. We are very excited to have Dr. Ramon Issa on the show today! Dr. Issa, a board-certified family medicine physician, relates his story which, though it begins with frustration and burnout, ends ultimately in hope. His frustration arose from the awareness of an ever present reality—he could not understand the root cause of diabetes. He ultimately discovered how to burn body fat as fuel and how to reverse metabolic disease through self-experimentation and determination. Thanks for listening in to hear this very inspiring story.
