“After working with patients of all ages with various types of illness for almost six years, I have seen firsthand the benefits of a low-carbohydrate, unprocessed, whole foods diet on every aspect of health. It’s remarkable that such a simple tool, something we all use every day can not only prevent, but reverse, so many of the diseases that plague us. That tool is food.”
