Today Dr Lucy is joined by the adventurous Dr Lizzie Elliott, a GP with a diverse range of sub-specialities to her name, including expedition medicine and hyperbaric & diving medicine! Dr Lizzie’s current adventure is her focus on lifestyle medicine where she is empowering patients to reverse fatty liver and type 2 diabetes with low carb real food “life scripts.” Listen as Dr Lizzie dives into the flawed “calories in, calories out” mantra, how the calorie value of each food is determined by setting food on fire, and why this rudimentary measurement system fails to account for all of the enzymatic and hormonal processes that occur in our body. Dr Lucy and Dr Lizzie chat about the supplement industry and iron deficiencies, as well as Dr Lizzie’s favourite K.I.S.S. method for carb reduction for those of us who love to keep it simple! So get ready for an information packed episode where you’ll discover the reasons behind Dr Lucy’s daughter’s obsession with eating ice, why Australia has the distinction of having the most expensive urine in the world, and why keeping a food diary can be an invaluable tool on your health and wellness adventure.
