Just went for my annual appointment. Told my GP to add a note that she shouldn’t freak out if my LDL is high and the fact that I’d been ketogenic for more than a year.
She then said: Oh, I’ve heard great things about keto and I’ve been meaning to read more on the subject. I then recommended reading Dr. Fung’s articles and books, and mentioned the RCT done by Virta.
That’s when I remembered I had a printed copy in my bag! And guess what, I happily passed it along. She wanted to read it on the train on her way home!
I really hope that it will be passed along to other physicians in her office.
I’m now thinking that I should print more articles like that (like the first Virta study) and keep them handy in case a HCP wants to know more.
NSV for sure! I walked out with a huge grin on my face!
