Episode 209: Dr. Peter Brukner

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. Dr. Peter Brukner is a medical doctor and specialist
sports and exercise medicine physician. He is the founding
partner at the Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre in
Melbourne and is Professor of Sports Medicine at the La
Trobe Sport & Exercise Medicine Research Centre at La Trobe
University. More recently Peter has become interested in
lifestyle issues and their relationship to health. In particular
he is interested in the role of diet, especially a low carb diet,
in both health and athletic performance.


In this discussion, Drs. 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.
