RIGHT THE SHIP

• There is a pandemic in metabolic health that needs to be addressed. (9:00)
  • Some people have taken better control by using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) to see immediate results of how certain foods affect them.
• Vinnie suggests that there needs to be a lot more doctors that are coming into the system with better nutritional knowledge. (13:30)
  • There needs to be continued advocation for low-carb lifestyles; Vinnie hopes that incoming doctors will “right the ship.”
  • Vinnie asks what Laura and Matt are seeing as they start their careers in medicine.
  • Laura has trained directly under prominent low-carb doctors.

  • They talk about how today’s medical curriculum still needs to be updated.
  • They also emphasize the need to create a “new normal” of people not needing so many medications.
