01/23/23 • 61 min

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Jeffry N. Gerber, MD, FAAFP is a board certified family physician, speaker, author, conference organizer, husband, father and owner of South Suburban Family Medicine in Littleton, Colorado, where he is known as “Denver’s Diet Doctor”. Nutrition and its effects on health are areas of interest for Dr. Gerber. Frustrated with spiraling healthcare costs related to the treatment of conditions like overweight, obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis and heart disease just to name a few, Dr. Gerber has been focusing on prevention and treatment programs using low-carb high fat (LCHF), Ancestral, Paleo, Primal, Intermittent Fasting and Whole Foods diets along with healthy lifestyle to treat and prevent these chronic conditions.

In this conversation, Drs. Brian, Tro, and Jeffery talk about what it means to be a good doctor, the very real impact of hope on physical health, where medication fails and where medication helps, prioritizing long term lifestyle solutions instead of pushing short term fixes, the speaker line-up at the upcoming LowCarb Denver Conference, preventative cardiac imaging, CME credits offered at the conference, and the hormone model versus the calories model for weight loss and metabolic health.
