Low Carb MD Podcast

Today we are joined by Dr. Gurpreet Padda, a man of great learning and with a great interest in metabolic health and nutrition. He became interested in metabolic health when he noticed that, woking in adult pain at the time, 91% of his patients were overweight. Through observation and experimentation, he noticed that metabolic inflammation was at the epicenter of pain, addiction, and obesity. Ever since that realization, he has continued to work toward sharing his findings and increasing his understanding of the issue. His work led him ultimately to understand that social isolation is an extremely significant factor in addiction/overeating. We also discuss in detail the metabolic impact of various foods, the importance of insulin as a marker for disease, and the importance of achieving satiety in the process of recovering from food addiction.

Jim's story will speak to many people and help them stay on track. We discuss his journey and how he was able to stay on track to save his life and those of his friends and family. He was going to get a gastric sleeve but avoided that with diet and exercise. This is an inspiring story---10 inches off the waist and down 5 shirt sizes and down 110 lbs. No longer on CPAP for sleep apnea, inflammation gone. "It took me 10 years to get to 300 lbs and a year to lose 110 lbs, not bad." We discuss the importance of family support, setting goals, and staying the course. Awesome stuff! Contacts: Dr. Phung @DrAndyPhung Tro's Obesity Grand Rounds: https://youtu.be/B0IxoldOwBg
