Vinnie wants to know what young doctors are learning nowadays. (3:10) They each share a bit of their educational background. (8:30) They also share how they came across low-carb. They chat about Gary Taubes, Jason Fung, Nina Teicholz, and more. They share what old medical dogma they believed and how they learned how it has been wrong. This leads to a discussion about fiber and the myths around it. Laura and Matt share what today's current curriculum tends to lean towards. (21:40) A lot of what they have learned has been on their own and through the current low-carb experts like Dr. Tro Kalayjian. A lot of trailblazing is happening, and the needle is moving in favor of low-carb and ketogenic lifestyles, but it's very slow. (25:00) The group also discusses some of the newest challenges, like worsening iron deficiency in patients. They chat about how processed foods are making us sicker; however, people still believe if the package says "whole grains", it's good for you. Vinnie asks them about working with Dr. Tro and how his system of care is set up vs. the current healthcare system. (45:45) They share examples of outrageous costs and insurance negotiations. They chat about Direct Primary Care, which is in between the concierge and the current healthcare systems.
