Summary
We are excited to have one of Dr. Tro’s patients on the show today to share his story. Hugo’s journey began when he started to notice that he was always tired after eating a meal and that he was starting to have trouble with mobility. He started trying to eat “healthy” but did not begin to see real results until he discovered low-carb after stumbling upon the Tim Noakes trial video on YouTube. We discuss peripheral neuropathy, cultural considerations to ‘going keto’, a physician’s responsibility vis-a-vis their patients, and the factors involved in age-related deterioration. Thank you for listening.
