Summary
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Bob Collins spent 25 years serving in law enforcement in New York City. About 7 years ago, he discovered the ketogenic/low-carb diet and was able to revolutionize his personal health picture. In addition to turning his health around and losing about 80 pounds, he has also been able to come off of medications for chronic Lyme disease, blood pressure, and acid reflux. He is the co-founder of Lions Fit 4 Life, a website promoting a low carb and ketogenic Diabetes Awareness program.
In this conversation, Dr. Tro, Dr. Brian, and Bob talk about the unfortunate power that shame and embarrassment wields against you in your struggle to recover your health, the place of exercise in overall health, dealing with Lyme disease and how low-carb can help, fighting for health while working in law enforcement, being ok with small beginnings on your health journey, finding purpose and finding your 'why', the necessity of making time for your mental health, and how Bob and Dr. Tro met.
