Really? Do we really need another Low Carb Podcast?
Yes, we actually do! This one is different, not designed to replace current podcasts but to supplement them. The Low Carb MD podcast is about the frontline practitioners discussing lifestyle medicine from the trenches, not just the laboratories and ivory towers. There’s lots of science now available discussing the benefits of the Low Carbohydrate lifestyle and Intermittent Fasting, so it is critical that we share our clinical experiences with each other. This podcast is primarily aimed at people who have given up all hope of improving their metabolic disease as well as medical practitioners who are either on the fence or think this is a questionable approach to treating illness. We would like to present evidence and allow you to be the jury weighing the evidence before coming to your own personal conclusion.
We will talk with actual patients and practitioners with vast clinical experience. Drs. Jason Fung, Brian Lenzkes, and Tro Kalayjian are all practicing board certified MDs using these nutritional modalities to treat patients on a daily basis. Megan Ramos is the IDM Program Director (edit: now The Fasting Method) and has helped thousands of patients along the road to better health using fasting and low carb diets. She has worked personally with thousands of patients and brings valuable Together we will tackle the pressing issues in our current health crisis and try to clarify them for you.
Drs. Kalayjian and Lenzkes are using this information to overcome their personal battles with obesity and metabolic syndrome and are now helping patients on the same path. Each week we will Interview health practitioners and patients trying to improve their health. We will discuss the struggles that we all face and share this knowledge with each other. We are trying to learn from each other to help patients in need of guidance. We realize that each of us has unique dietary/lifestyle needs and that there is not a “one size fits all” approach to wellness. We will interview people who have changed their lives through lifestyle changes as well as those having trouble getting started.
We hope that you will join us on this journey to better health. We will talk with clinicians across the Low Carbohydrate spectrum from Vegans to Carnivores and everything in between. We hope to help people figure out how to break through plateaus on the road to improved metabolic health. We also aim to address some of the myths and misinformation out there and use solid science to reinforce our clinical experience. We will each have our unique approach but will learn important skills and tools from each other. Some of us will change our approach along the way.

Dr. Tro
We want to have fun on this journey and keep it as simple as possible. Low Carb MD will not be funded by outside sources and we will not have advertisers sponsoring us. We want to be your source of credible information and do not want to be just another podcast. We are responsible only to you, the listener. If you’d like to support us with this podcast, we would be grateful. Many of the readers will be familiar with myself (Dr. Fung) and Megan Ramos, so let me introduce Drs. Tro and Lenzkes.

For many health reasons, losing weight is important. It can improve your blood sugars, blood pressure and metabolic health, lowering your risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer. But it’s not easy. That’s where we can help.
