In this episode, Brian and Philip talk bout how doctors and surgeons can really protect and improve their patients’ overall health via lifestyle intervention, the close relationship between metabolic health and chronic disease, the humility needed to discover truth, the financial and health strain that widespread chronic disease places on the country, the mental health benefits of a low carb lifestyle, and the importance of teaching patients to lead a healthy life post-surgery. Life’s Best Medicine According to Philip: “Realizing what is important around me—the people that are important around me. My family, friends, and, first and foremost, my wife and two daughters. It is doing your best every day to deliver the help your patients need. You’ve got to have a purpose and you’ve got to realize who you’re here to serve.” Thank you for listening.
