Dr. Frank Lipman talks with\xa0fellow South African.\xa0Professor Tim Noakes, the author of numerous books and a sports scientist, who has published more than 750 scientific articles.\xa0

He initially advocated a high carb diet for athletes in his book \u201cLore of Running\u201d\xa0(1986). But his beliefs evolved over the years when he realized he was wrong and now advocates for a low-carb, high fat diet in his more recent books \u201cThe Real Meal Revolution\u201d\xa0(2014) and\xa0\u201cLore of Nutrition: Challenging Conventional Dietary Beliefs\u201d (2017).\xa0\xa0

Professor Noakes, who single-handedly popularized the low carb diet in South Africa has created The Noakes Foundation to educate low income South Africans about modifying their diet to improve their health.\xa0

In the podcast, they discuss the importance of a healthy gut microbiome,\xa0the role of diet in managing diabetes and hypertension,\xa0and how medications are often not necessary if a healthy diet is adopted.\xa0\xa0
