Thomas Weimbs, PhD Dr David Unwin Karen Dwyer Ken D Berry MD Anthony Chaffee, MD Thank you for posting! I certainly see this at work. I know of 4 nephrologists using it now in Australia. It’s fun seeing eGFR increase from 35 to > 60 over a year. Low carb docs see this routinely. Low protein is out! Low carb is in bc it works. DoctorTro

Excellent talk about nutritional protein by Mag. Julia Tulipan MSc. Julia Tulipan this morning at the keto live conference in Switzerland. Fearing protein consumption is not rooted in science.
