DR. JEFFRY GERBER

- https://jgerbermd.com/
- He is friends and colleagues with another one of Vinnie’s favorites, Ivor Cummins.
- Dr. Gerber’s been at this now for 28 years.
- For the first 10 years, he was clueless about diet and the like, but since, he’s educated himself and is now a leading expert in nutrition and diet and the like.
DOCTORS AND HEALING
- Doctors are using medications to stop fires.
- For many doctors, it’s hard to realize just giving medication is not the right course of action. It must be more holistic.
- Dr. Gerber struggled with weight issues, and tried dietary modifications.
- He saw LCHF worked for a patient, then did his studies and homework.
- Once he tried it for himself and had success, he expanded it for his patients.
- Non-doctors were the ones who ID’d sat fats creating cholesterol as the problem.
- A relatively new paper in Lancet challenges Ancel Keys’s 7 Country Study. This is the real science.
- People trust their doctors — but sometimes, people need to be more investigative, and not just accept one answer — listen to many experts, like Dr. Gerber!
INSULIN RESISTANCE
- .HDL and triglyceride ratio is a marker for insulin
- This will go down if you eat LCHF most of the time because your metabolic issues will lessen.
- LDL not the problem, your ratio is a bigger issue.
- The ratio also demonstrates your insulin resistance which is the indicator of risk for bad health including cardiac health.
