#398: Dr. Lucy Burns on Low Carb Diets For Weight Loss, Reversing Insulin Resistance and Making Yourself More Metabolically Flexible!

 

Dr Lucy Burns is a GP and a lifestyle medicine physician. 

She runs a weight loss clinic called Epiphany Medical Weight Loss and co-hosts the Real Health and Weight Loss Podcast where you get real advice from real doctors and professionals to help you lose weight and revolutionize your health, not just now, but permanently. 

Lucy has muscular dystrophy which impairs her mobility. In her 20s she managed her weight with exercise. Alas, this is no longer possible and she became overweight/obese and was insulin resistant. Several years ago, she lost 20 kgs by adopting a low carb lifestyle and currently speaks at conferences for doctors on weight management, as well as events for the general public, and is now considered an expert in this field. 

 

Here are some of the things we talked about in todays episode: 

 

•     The problem with exercise for weight management 
•     How to make yourself more metabolic flexibility 
•     Reversing insulin resistance 
•     The reason low carbs work (and who it’s for) 
•     The biggest misconceptions when switching to low carb
•     How to minimize the negative effects and rubbish feeling that accompanies the transition
•     And much more.
