One of the most scourged segments of the population these days seems to be those who are carrying around extra weight on their body. With so many doctors discriminating against their obese patients by failing to give them the appropriate medical care they need based solely on their weight, it’s good to know there are some medical professionals who still realize these people need and deserve help and hope out of their situation. That’s exactly what board-certified general internist, obesity medicine specialist, and low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet researcher Dr. Will Yancy, Director of the Durham, North Carolina-based Duke Diet and Fitness Center, does for his patients. As a clinical researcher and practitioner working on the front lines with patients (alongside his fellow Duke physician Dr. Eric Westman), Dr. Yancy knows what works to help his patients and that includes the low-carb, ketogenic diet as an option for them to choose as an alternative to the low-fat diet.
Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Yancy talk about the research he has conducted on the ketogenic diet, his move to the Duke Diet and Fitness Center, the history of residential-style weight loss programs in Durham, North Carolina like the famous low-fat Rice Diet, how he is spearheading the very first low-carb friendly residential weight loss and lifestyle program in the world, the success he’s seen in his patients (like THIS ONE!) so far, and so much more! It’s encouraging to know that people who find themselves in the desperate situation of needing to lose weight and get healthy have a friend in Dr. Yancy to guide them properly through a plan like a low-carb ketogenic diet that will actually help them succeed.
