Episode 191: Dr. John Speakman

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. Dr. John Speakman is a highly successful and decorated
biologist, researcher, and author with special interest and
expertise in the areas of energy balance, factors that limit
expenditure, the genetic and environmental drivers of obesity,
and the energetic contribution to ageing. He has been
internationally recognized by Chinese, American, and European
institutions for the contributions he has made to his field of
study, and is the recipient of many awards for his work (too many
to list in a short bio).


In their discussion, Drs. Brian, Tro, and John talk about how Dr.
Speakman became interested in/introduced to energy expenditure,
the difficulties and nuances involved in working with patients to
help them change their eating behaviors to lose weight, studies
related to the above issue, sensory specific satiety, why certain
people can lose weight on a low fat diet while others lose weight
on a low carb diet, postprandial dipping and related studies, the
place of CGMs in the future of obesity research, and differing
models of what causes hunger.
