“It really is rejuvenating for the medical provider to see patients actually get better and deprescribing medication.”

Dr. Kristin Baier (@doctoringketo) is double board-certified in Obesity Medicine and Family Medicine. She recently relocated to San Diego to serve patients through a non-traditional healthcare model with an emphasis on metabolic health. She specializes in weight loss management and associated co-morbidities through lifestyle and nutrition.

Dr. Baier shared her story. “For many years, I battled debilitating daily migraines along with frequent painful flares from auto-immune disease. My daily medication regimen could rival someone five decades older. I had tried everything from a vegan diet to Paleo without much improvement in symptoms. Then I discovered the ketogenic diet and benefits of nutritional ketosis and within months my migraines regressed and constant joint pains resolved. I eventually tapered off of six medications and reclaimed my health. Now I strive to bring the same nutritional options to my patients when appropriate. “

In this interview, Jimmy chats with Dr. Kristin Baier, MD about the status of ketogenic diets in the medical world, what patients are most concerned about with keto, and her concerns about the challenging information shared online by shysters about ketosis that may not be true. It’s always good to pick the brain of a medical doctor who has been enlightened about low-carb nutrition.
