Dr. Peter Brukner - 'Why Low Carb?'
Public Comment: Last winter, I was 223.5 lbs, yet exercising a lot. Was still gaining weight and feeling unwell. About to turn 53, no energy. Decided to cut bread and sugar, added more beef, bacon and eggs, along with avocado and more veggies. Pretty much most of what he is talking about, I went through. In 5 months, I lost 63 lbs, and find it easy to maintain my weight since hitting goal weight 4 months ago. Bloodwork, vital signs, fitness and sense of well being vastly improved and still improving. Low Carb is the better way of life. (52 minutes)

Dr. Peter Brukner - 'Inflammation'
Public Comment: I am doing a PhD in Immunology and I think that chronic inflammation is the root of +90% of modern diseases. When I switched to keto for the first time, I wanted to see how my body reacts to it. A blood test for inflammation (CRP) was done. The CRP was not detectable, meaning that at the very least, the ketogenic diet was not inflammatory. (46 minutes)

Like most doctors, Peter Brukner was trained to believe that drugs and surgery are the answers to all medical problems – including the epidemics of obesity, diabetes and other ‘modern illnesses’ that are threatening our healthcare system and the life expectancy of future generations. For years he was dismissive of any ‘alternative’ diets or lifestyle changes.
