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.

Geoffrey Guy is a medical doctor, former Pharmaceutical executive and millionaire philanthropist of the Guy Foundation, aimed at advancing medicine through quantum biology.

This interview is an introduction to quantum biology, quantum biological phenomena in life and the key role of the mitochondrion in health and disease. 

The Guy Foundation recently released a report on Spaceflight & human health through a quantum biology lens - see my previous episode for my analysis of that report.
