Episode 222: Siobhan Huggins

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. Siobhan Huggins is Dave Feldman's right hand researcher
in all things cholesterol & lipoproteins. She went keto in
August of 2016, lost 80 pounds, and completely turned her health
around. Now she spends her time deep diving into the inner
workings of the lipid system, and searching for the mechanisms of
the modern diseases that surround us.


In this conversation, Brian and Siobhan discuss how Siobhan
discovered the keto diet, Siobhan’s battle with anxiety and
depression and the advantage that the keto diet gave her in that
battle, lipedema and its symptoms, the effect of high fat vs high
carb diets on the microbiome, why the Western diet is a metabolic
disaster, the genius of the human body for survival and balance,
the importance of considering the bio-individuality of each
person seeking to regain health on the keto diet, the effect that
mindset can have on success and health, and the frustration at
the root of doctor burn out.
