DOCTOR HYPOCRISY

  • Doctors ought to reflect what they preach
  • If a doctor tells a patient to lose weight, he better be thin or at least not fat
  • If a doctor tells a patient not to smoke, he better not stink of cigarettes
  • Hard for a patient to take a doctor seriously when he seems hypocritical
  • Doctors should lead by example

METABOLIC ISSUES

    • Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia all tie into metabolic disorders
  • Dr. Bikman studies metabolics because this is where the energy is
  • Hormones dictate what the body does with energy
  • Your body runs really well on ketones!
    • Dr. Bikman studies how your body runs on insulin vs. ketones
  • Ketogenic diet and low carb is an answer to these issues!
