(2:00) She focused on low-carb in 2018. She used to prescribe meds, but she realized how many cases were metabolic issues. She tried to prescribe lifestyle changes, but people wouldn\u2019t stick to them. But once she discovered Drs. Jason Fung and David Ludwig, her eyes opened with what she could do. She feels the success of her patients using low-carb works like a miracle compared to previous methods. Vinnie shares what he experienced years ago at a reunion with his peers; he was the only one not on several medicines. (19:00) She and her patients have benefitted from the Gary Fettke case. (23:00) They chat about the censoring of low-carb content on social media and of Vinnie himself. (30:00) There is an app in Australia called \u201cDefeat Diabetes\u201d that is being promoted. (37:00) She feels like the low-carb movement is becoming unstoppable. Dr. Figtree explains the reason kidney doctors typically don\u2019t like low-carb with higher protein. (51:30) But she also explains why they are mistaken. They talk about Big Food and addiction. (1:03:00) The increase in the number of children with fatty liver disease in recent years is remarkable. (1:04:00) Uses of Semiglutide They discuss semiglutide. (1:05:00) Virta Health recently did a study on semidlutide with interesting results. It should not be used in the long term for various reasons.
