As they were gearing up for the Symposium for Metabolic Health in Boca Raton (https://www.lowcarbusa.org/smhp-symposiums/) - their 18th conference over the past eight incredible years - they decided to celebrate their 100th episode of the LowCarbUSA® Podcast with a look back at how they got here.

In Episode 100, they talk about how they first learned about the low-carb/ketogenic lifestyle, and how they got the idea to organize the first Symposium for Metabolic Health in 2016.

They also discuss the creation of the Clinical Guidelines (https://thesmhp.org/clinical-guidelines/), the formation of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (The SMHP), the free resources available from both LowCarbUSA and The SMHP, the Metabolic Health Practitioner (MHP) accreditation process (https://thesmhp.org/membership-account/membership-levels/), and much more, including many of their hopes and dreams for the future!

After the very first conference in San Diego, in 2016, we really started to realize how much this meant for the healthcare professional. And we really knew that's where we wanted to focus and make sure that healthcare professionals were aware of this information, first of all, and second of all, that there were conferences and training where they could come to learn all about it.
