I live in MA (Plymouth County and would really like to find a keto friendly doctor in my neck of the woods/// even better if the doctor in a cardiologist as I had stents implanted 10 years ago and I am on a high dosage statin and zetia to control my cholesterol level which I just recently had tested with my levels of Total Cholesterol at 149, HDL 68, LDL 68, VLDL 13.4 and Triglyceride 67. I know these are great numbers, but now I am learning that that donā€™t mean diddely squat in terms of being factors leading to clogged arteries and heart disease. I have discussed getting off of the statin and zetia with my PCD but he is totally against it because it ā€œkeeps my cholesterol levels in check which helps to prevent strokes and heart attacksā€. I askes him this before I learned about the keto diet and now that I have a bit more knowledge I would like to discuss my options with a doctor who understands more about how nutrition really works in out bodies. I still have a bit of hesitation because of the many years that I had to hear repeatedly about how much fat in the diet is so bad. But I am getting better accepting the real truth. Soā€¦ If anyone knows of a keto friendly doctor in my area I would really appreciate any info on it. Thanks!

What if Keto Just Doesn't Work for Everyone?

This question comes up so often on LC forums I have collected resources into a List of Listsā€¦check these. Includes US, Canada and International.

How to Find a Doctor Supportive of LowCarb/Keto/Paleo Diets

There are a number of resources to help you find medical care supportive of a reduced carbohydrate way of eating. Some lists include not only medical doctors, but chiropractors, naturopaths, nutritionists, RDs, etc. Some are for general practitioners, some for Obesity specialists. With any recommendation, check the website/reviews or phone the office directly to learn more about the doctorā€™s philosophy on diet.

Dr. Eric Westman at Duke Lifestyle Clinic and Heal Clinics. https://healclinics.com
New branches and remote health coaching may be available.

ObesityMedicine.org (USA and Canada)
Click Find a Clinician. Members may not necessarily use a low carb diet, but many have now been trained in a low carb clinic plan module by Eric Westman, chairman and past president. Members are obesity medicine specialists, not bariatric surgeons.

Maybe when I lose my 150 lbs it will convince my husband to be the upstate NY keto doctor! Good luck, Iā€™m working on it! :blush:

Was surprised Dr. Jeff Gerber in the Denver area wasnā€™t on IDMā€™s listing.
I guess he is more into the heart health side of things than diabetes? His book with Ivor Cummins is a really good one, Eat Rich, Live Long. .

(Janet) #28

I thought these IDM ā€œNetworkā€ doctors would support Fasting Protocols, though also be Keto-Friendly.

Thank you so so much for sharing Fernando! Iā€™ve been searching for a Low Carb friendly doctor in NW Houston since last year. Couldnā€™t believe you posted this info since 2017 and I didnā€™t see it. Last year my doctor (also Dr. Chen from a different location) told me my diet (keto) is tooooo extreme! I reversed type 2 diabetes but she was more concern about elevated cholesterol level, I had Calcium Score Test = Zero, she still advised me to stop eating fat, do low fat, up on whole grain etcā€¦ not very supportive. I will try to go to this location you recommended.

Thao, let me know how it goes! Heā€™s become very busy, but the important thing is that his entire practice is well versed in ketosis and a multitude of other interventions.

Amy Berger has a new video on ā€œDealing with Non-Keto Doctorsā€, good ideas for different approaches. In the comments below the video, she has many lists of where to find keto doctors, similar to my previous post, but it has some new ones to search.

Dr. Nadir Ali outside of Houston in Clear Lake, is on some of these lists, but noticed today a note under his new video: ā€œDr. Ali has championed many aspects of the science and practice of a low-carb lifestyle in the local Clear Lake area since 2013. He organizes a monthly nutritional seminar in the Searcy Auditorium of the Clear Lake Hospital that receives more than 100 visitors every month from the local community. Dr Aliā€™s focus is on managing heart disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes.ā€

I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. any one know of any doctors in my area that are Keto friendly?

(Christopher Walker) #38

Which doctor did you find? I am looking for one.

Just an update 3 years late for the OP in the Albany, NY area. Dr. Feeney in Latham, NY is great. Heā€™s not a LCHF booster by any stretch, but when he saw that my weight was falling steadily, he didnā€™t try to talk me out of keto or fasting. He just told me ā€œkeep doing what youā€™re doing because itā€™s clearly working; weā€™ll just keep an eye on the bloodwork in the meantimeā€. Itā€™s a pretty fairminded approach, and thatā€™s all I was looking for.
