You can just tell he is presenting with his heart, loves what he does and educating the public about it.

It's a real plesure to be able to open these without a huge blast of music which usually forces me to turn the volume down. Thank you Australia. For the peace. 👍😊

What a great presentation! You are so calm and confident! I would love for my internal medicine physician, whom I admire, to start a clinic like this. She is such a positive “no blame” type of a person. It is so needed in this area. Will discuss this with her as I really don’t know of any LCHF physicians around (Houston Tx). I know my cardiologist is going to have a stroke when I tell him what I am doing. 6 weeks on this lifestyle now and I have never felt better. Thanks Dr Westman.

First presenter I've heard who actually says this can work despite being on steroids. I have hope!!!

I am so glad, that Dr. Westman isn't a part of the, Militant Keto Crowd!!! I get so sick of them!!!

[debbiemalina]

I noticed the BP went up over time with some patients, why?

[deskjockie]

Is there a doctor like this anywhere in the Baton Rouge/New Orleans area?

[NatanEstivalletPaintings]

10:12 No comments about his blood pressure (166/92)? Was it getting worse!?

Dr. Westman: I think that you're great and I've read all of your books, but similar to the New Atkins approach, there is almost no discussion of good quality here. Atkins products are low carb, but the ingredients are generally terrible and not health promoting in my view.

Advising people to use Splenda and to drink Diet Coke isn't really ideal. Sure, perhaps some people will need to do that initially, and perhaps for some, forever, but at least have the discussion that food quality is also important. Other than that, thanks for your incredible contribution. I see that you addressed this issue on one slide at the end. I guess I just think it's more important than you do.

Can a steroid injection for frozen should raise my glucose level by 75 pts

[Zippysfriend]

Try ketogenic diet. And intermittent fasting...Search Dr Berg

[artemgnezdilov]

Why do you need LC and HF? Just stop eating all the time. Also fat oxidation is not that pure as glucose oxidation is. Isnt it?

[backfru]

is this the same doctor who promotes a 10 day "cleanse" where people who are unwilling to track food intake, instead have a feeding tube inserted, supplying a ketogenic liquid diet?
