ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.
At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
I actually gained 10 pounds on a low carb diet. I come from a family with a bad family culture around food. My father was my height (5'10") and at times over 350 pounds. There were other problems with my family food culture. I have my own personal issues. My birth weight was 10.5 pounds. And my own peak weight was 185 pounds. I was plant-based for 30 years. However, during most of that time, I ate A LOT of plant carb sources, like grains, carrots, and juices.
Based on that background, I developed a "license to eat" over the past 6-12 months. After a couple of years of a 6/1 intermittent fasting, and adding low carb, then Mimicked Fasting - I struggled to keep my weight up to 150 pounds. After having a couple of hypoglycemic episodes, I relaxed several of my food limits. I added some things I've never ate before, like garnishes with cheese and even bacon. I porked up quickly. Then after gaining 10 pounds, I confirmed what I'd suspected for years: I have atrial fib.
As we get older, it's hard maintaining low blood sugars and balancing that against hypoglycemic episodes. One way to do that is stopping meds, like Metformin. I have stopped metformin when I go through caloric restriction episodes now. They told me to do that. I ignored it at my own peril.
I also go through a few rules for eating out at restaurants, like: 1. limit myself to salads, salmon and egg white omelets; and 2. there are A LOT of foods served by restaurants that you just can't eat.
