Summary
Tony Martinez, an attorney and a politician from New York, joins us today to discuss the politics and policies of Type 2 Diabetes and of Low-Carb. He has been involved in the political side of the low-carb movement since the 90s when he helped Dr. Robert Atkins pass a bill in Congress that helped make nutritional health and nutritional health products more available. Tony is interested in reforming medical education via the introduction of better nutritional training. Not only would this reform benefit the patients of our doctors, it would save the government and insurance companies a huge amount of money.
