Siobhan Huggins grew up with a negative self-image. At 18, she was obese and developed depression. Whenever she tried a new diet, her depression symptoms would get worse. Later on, she was diagnosed with lipedema.

Her mom encouraged her to learn more about the ketogenic diet. She decided to do keto strictly for 2 months. The changes she experienced - from losing weight to improving her mental health - made her stick with it. This gave her the drive to research more about its benefits.

Siobhan knew how the ketogenic diet became instrumental to the improvement of her physical health and mental wellness. The presence of the keto community reminded her that she was not alone in this journey and that kept her going. In this episode, Siobhan shares that amidst her obesity, depression, and lipedema, her choice to do a carnivore diet and the support system of the community contributed big time to where she is now, and she continues to give back to help others too.

“So, the social anxiety was, I think, like a thought pattern habit in a way that I had to undo. And I largely did that at my first few conference. So, I was practicing, like going up and talking to people. And like giving myself new information with a clear head, like, this is how people react when you talk to them and ask them questions. And they were always super happy and friendly and glad to talk to me and happy to have me in the community. And so that really, like planted the seeds for me to have a healthier mindset. ” - Siobhan Huggins

Animals fed with food they don't eat in the wild get sick. The same thing happens to humans. We get sick with obesity, diabetes & autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Anthony Chaffee  dives into the medical literature & current studies to learn what applies in real life. His personal practice as a carnivore combined with his research makes him uniquely qualified to counter arguments against the carnivore lifestyle.

As a medical doctor currently training in neurosurgery, he witnesses the benefits of carnivore in patients. The carnivore diet helps people in chronic pain; that made him eager to go beyond surgery to recommend dietary changes for his patients.

Learn the origins of his interest in neurosurgery, and why a carnivore diet is optimal for humans.

Get to know our guest:
Dr. Anthony Chaffee started his carnivore journey back in his early 20s as a professional athlete. He is a medical doctor and has always been interested in diet and nutrition. He is currently doing his neurosurgery training in Australia.

"I like being able to get a call, see a patient, make a decision right then just do something for them right there. And be able to save their life and so that sit well with me and my personality and how I like to approach medicine, and then the chronic stuff as well, chronic pain, back pain, a lot of people don't like that. I don't like it either, in a sense, but since coming around to the carnivore thing and seeing people's health and chronic pain be just drastically improved by removing certain things from their diet, I find that I can help more people than otherwise thought possible just by recommending some dietary changes." - Dr. Anthony Chaffee

Keto without the crazy. Low-carb and keto-oriented nutritionist Amy Berger's goal is to provide information about the keto diet without the fuss of different apps, spending too much, or weighing every molecule of food.

Her knowledge of low-carb diet started during her college years, thanks to Dr. Atkins and his book New Diet Revolution. She was already practicing low-carb diet when she took her master's degree in human nutrition. Already aware of its effects and benefits, it prompted her to delve deeper into its relation to different metabolic syndromes, Alzheimer's disease, thyroid, and depression.

In this episode, she shares the life-changing information she got from her studies on Alzheimer's disease as her graduate thesis, the heartbreak of seeing people misdiagnosed for decades, and the tips she has on how to get lab tests even without a doctor’s consent.

Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng wants you not to end up in the ICU.

An ICU doctor and a department head at the Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Kwadwo knows metabolic disease is a massive driver of poor outcomes. Studies even established the link between poor metabolic health and COVID outcomes. But what do we do to treat that? When doctors focus primarily on sick care, they hardly ask anymore why the patient landed there in the first place.

And that's what we need. We have to talk about the root cause to find the solutions.

The inefficiency of the healthcare system prompted him to start his podcast "Solving Healthcare" which aims to empower healthcare workers to think out of the box. There's always a way to provide better care. The patients deserve that. Maybe the needle is yet to be moved, but the message is getting there.

53:57 What evidence-based medicine means

Get to know our guest:
Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng is a critical care physician and researcher at the Ottawa Hospital in Canada. He hosts Solving Healthcare podcast that focuses on improving healthcare delivery.

“You gotta be able to look yourself in the mirror, like, your compass for making decisions is in your values. And my values are always personally along do the right thing. Justice. Be courageous. And I don't feel it felt the same. We both have taken heat in different ways. And yeah, but at the end of the day, I can honestly say we both can look at yourselves in the mirror and say we were doing our best.”

The year was 2004. It was the year Kevin Pho - a board-certified internal medicine physician - launched his blog. Blogging physicians are still uncommon. Sometimes in the exam room, patients would tell him how helpful his blog posts are. 

As doctors only get to spend 10-15 minutes with their patients, their questions remain unanswered. Kevin knows there's a need for more medical professionals to influence the online space, provide reliable sources of information, and at the same time clear up a lot of misinformation. 

Medical professionals must be present where the patients are, even online. Kevin's platform, KevinMD.com, continues to be the space for health care practitioners and patients alike to share their perspectives and stories. 

Kevin Pho discusses how to select reliable information and ignore crappy sources, the value of acknowledging mistakes, and the truth about physicians' lack of empowerment.

25:53 Share stories from each other’s perspectives
33:01 The platform to elevate the voices across the healthcare spectrum
36:17 Burnout and lack of physician empowerment

Get to know our guest:
Kevin Pho is a board-certified internal medicine physician. Known as "the blogging doctor," he started his blog in 2004 and his website remains to be a leading platform for healthcare practitioners and patients to share their stories. He has published a book, “Establishing, Managing, and Protecting Your Online Reputation: A Social Media Guide for Physicians and Medical Practices.”

“But after doing this for almost 20 years now, I think one of my strengths is that I'm able to stick with something for a long time now. So, I played on that strength, and that I'm able to be consistent, I'm able to be persistent, despite failures. And that's actually served me well to overcome a lot of the obstacles that I've had during those 20 years.” - Kevin Pho

Nick Norwitz was diagnosed with osteoporosis in his late teens. Not long after, he developed gut problems and ulcerative colitis. At one point in his early 20's, he ended up in the ICU with a heart rate the same as his age. 

Who would have thought that this young man used to be a healthy, active guy who ran three-hour marathons? While lying in ICU, he realized he had 3 options: 

1. live a horrible life
2. die
3. figure things out for himself. 

He chose to take responsibility for his own health. He experimented with lifestyle and dietary interventions. The Ketogenic diet improved his symptoms and his inflammatory markers dropped to their lowest level.  These effects sparked his interest in nutrition and metabolic health. He now pursues medical studies at Harvard Medical School and continues to advocate metabolic health. 

In this episode, Nick talks about his journey to healing, being "metabolically woke," and how he wants science to be more accessible to people.

Quick Guide:

Nick Norwitz has a PhD from Oxford University and currently is a medical student at Harvard Medical School. He has published several scientific papers and co-authored a book on ketogenic diet called, “The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook.”

“The most unique aspect of my story is that it's not unique at all. I see this motif now everywhere where someone's desperate. They're a little hopeless. They try this, and it works. And then they become really passionate about it. And that's how the community builds.” - Nick Norwitz

Dr. Nick Greiner describes his practice as direct primary care and regenerative medicine. Labeled by some as alternative medicine or even quackery, he witnessed how regenerative therapy and lifestyle changes helped his mother who suffered from illness in her 40s.

Doctors have always used pharmaceuticals or procedures as their first line of treatment. For Dr. Greiner, the question “Why did this happen in the first place? What is going on with their life that we have to address?” may provide more answers to help treat the patients. From nutrition, exercise, and even increasing one’s peace, he shares in this episode his priority to address the person’s biggest drop in the bucket, lifestyle intervention, and why you should get some good safe sunlight during the day and use blue blockers at night.

Get to know our guest:
As a direct primary care and regenerative medicine practitioner, Dr. Nick Greiner focuses on providing lifestyle intervention and advanced cellular healing techniques. In Greiner Health Solutions, they consider the patient’s history, and test results, and make sure the plan is safe and effective for the person.

“So, for me, that's what when I say or when I'm talking to somebody that says we need to change or what's wrong with health care? I'm thinking to myself, okay, how do we make these trends that are going in such an awful direction, how do we make them go the other way, right? How do we improve on that?” - Dr. Nick Greiner
