Journey's End

It's taken me a while, but I've realized that my intent to talk more about my health journey on here isn't really going to work. Yes, a lot of people have spoken words of encouragement to me and expressed their interest in my story. The problem is that I'm not really interested in talking about me personally and my experiences. The interest I have is in the science, the biochemistry of human metabolism, and that is what people don't generally want to hear about. 

I know this because the second the words "low carb" come out of my mouth, either their eyes glaze over or they change the subject. Or they express their happiness that I've found something that works for me, and explain why it would never work for them. If we do manage to make it past that point, which almost never happens, and I start explaining any of the science, the look on their face makes me feel like that teacher whose class a student dreads. 

So what I'm going to do now is list the doctors I follow online, where you can find all the information I've found and learn everything I've learned. Look them up on Youtube or whatever platform you use to listen to podcasts, as they all have done many interviews, and some have podcasts of their own. Also look them up on Amazon because most of them have written books.

• Dr. Ben Bikman, PhD (biochemistry prof and metabolic researcher)
• Dr. Aseem Malhotra, MD (cardiologist)
• Dr. Philip Ovadia, MD (cardiologist)
• Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, MD (cardiologist)
• Dr. Mark Hyman, MD (functional medicine)
• Dr. Jason Fung, MD (nephrologist)
• Dr. Anthony Jay, PhD (biochemist)
• Dr. Ken Berry, MD (family physician)
• Dr. William Davis (cariologist) 
• Dr. David Unwin (general practitioner)

Also, not doctors, but two books I highly recommend by journalists who have heavily researched their topics:

• Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes
• The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz

There you go. Set off and learn if you so desire. 

Now, back to sporadic postings about my author and artist events.
