DR. JEFF GERBER

- Family Medical Doctor

- Focuses on diet to cure a lot of metabolic and heart disease
- Low carb high fat, ketogenic, paleo diets & more
CHRONIC METABOLIC DISEASE
- The biggest killer
- This is Dr. Jeff’s focus
- People are just getting heavier and heavier
- People around Vinnie and Jeff’s age have been fed the worst nutrition information over the years
- Due to the fact that the amount of time spent on nutrition in med school is minimal, and only preached reduced fat and reduced calories
- Chronic diseases have exploded recently
- People only given ‘bandaids’
- Dietary approach is really the only way to make that chronic disease go away/be manageable
- It is a lifestyle change, just like NSNG is
- Difficult to convince people LCHF is the way to go when doctors prescribe heart healthy grains and calorie cuts
- The confusion between ketoacidosis (bad and not related to low carb diets) and dietary ketosis (good, what happens when you seriously limit carbs) does not help LCHF’s case
- A lot of this misinformation comes down to money
