DR. JEFF GERBER

  • From Littleton, Colorado.
  • Check out his website right here
    • http://jgerbermd.com/
  • Family Medical Doctor.
  • Grabbed food with Vinnie, Serena, and Ivor Cummins .
  • He focuses on diet to cure a lot of metabolic and heart disease.
    • Low carb high fat, ketogenic, paleo diets & more.

CHRONIC METABOLIC DISEASE

  • Chronic metabolic disease is 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.
    • Because 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 are 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.
