In this conversation, Dr. Gary Fettke shares his journey from conventional orthopedic surgeon to a prominent advocate for dietary changes in managing diabetes and obesity. He discusses the challenges he faced from regulatory bodies and the food industry while promoting a low-carb, high-fat diet as a solution to the problem of diabetic foot ulcers and metabolic dysfunction more broadly.
