Summary
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. This is episode #1 of a special series on employee wellness. In this innovative series consisting of multiple episodes, Dr. Tro highlights the power of metabolic health, nutrition, and community in the employee wellness space. Each episode tells the story of a different individual whose metabolic health has been drastically improved for the better by Dr. Tro's Employee Wellness Program.
This episode tells the story of Gregg—a long-time employee of Laitram, a Louisiana-based manufacturing company. Though Gregg struggled with his weight for many, many years he has now lost 115 pounds! It all began when Laitram brought Dr. Tro in to offer his Employee Wellness Program to their employees. Gregg shares about his experience trying a low-carb diet for the first time as well his experience working with Dr. Tro and his health coach, Brian. Additionally, Gregg talks about the support and education he has received from Dr. Tro and his team. Thanks to his new lifestyle and diet, Gregg was able to go to Disney World with his three-year-old grand daughter in January 2023, ride the rides, and walk for miles and miles every day.
