Brian, Tro, and Peter talk about how the low-fat dietary philosophy took root and flourished for so many years, the wide array of disease factors impacted by diet, the effect of the low-carb diet on chronic pain, the phenomenon of patients educating their doctors about low-carb, and the danger of standing up for positions contrary to the prevailing medical dogma as doctors.
