I have a discoloration on my 69 year old bald head that my VA primary care physician wanted a dermatologist to look at. It turned out to be nothing more than a normal age spot. However, during our small talk, the Dr noticed on my chart that I had lost 50 since last October and asked how I managed that. I explained that I was a Keto guy. I expected some push back, but; to my surprise, he thought it was a good idea. It turns out his wife is a dietary nutritionist and she has recently come around to be an LCHF proponent. Whad’ya know!
As I was leaving he gave me an instruction sheet of the do’s and don’t regarding skin cancer. Nothing really new, cover up, use SPF etc. He recommends that his patients take a vitamin D supplement (as most Americans are deficient in that essential vitamin) and get this, “Eat a diet that is low in sugars and high in healthy fat.” Wow!
He also recommended I read Nina Teicholz’s “Big Fat Surprise” Book. Wow!!!
Baby step progress on the medical front, but still progress.
