The Diet Doctor Medical Director is in the house!

We had an amazing conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, a cardiologist and medical director of Diet Doctor.

In this episode we cover:
-The importance of personalized diet and lifestyle changes.
-The quality of evidence around saturated fats.
-How to assess metabolic health.
-How low carb and keto have dramatically impacted his cardiology patients’ health.
-How low carb and keto can reduce cardiac risk factors.
-Empowering physicians to promote low carb/keto.

In Dr. Scher’s many patients suffering from heart disease, he found that there was a big overlap with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance. It was all very interrelated. When he started treating his patients who suffered from heart disease with a low-carb diet, he could quickly see signs of improvements or even full reversal in all of these diseases.

Dr. Scher has also obtained specialized certifications in functional medicine, nutrition, personal training, and behavior modification.

He is also the author of the book Your best health ever!1, and he has a blog and website at lowcarbcardiologist.com.
