| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the low-carb MD podcast, where we seek progress, not perfection. |
| 0:06.0 | Hello and welcome back to the low-carb MD podcast. Today is kind of a dream day for |
| 0:16.6 | Trot and myself. When we heard this next guest coming on we both kind of laughed and |
| 0:21.8 | Trot said, come on you're kidding me, right? No, really he's coming on. No both kind of laughed and said, come on, you're kidding me, right? |
| 0:23.3 | No, really, he's coming on. |
| 0:24.4 | No, it can't be. |
| 0:26.0 | We have Dr. David Unwin, the low-carb GP on Twitter. |
