Episode 149: Dr. Tarek Arab MBChB FRCSC FACOG

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. We are honored to be joined on the show by Dr. Tarek
Arab MBChB FRCSC FACOG. Dr. Arab is a gynecologist and
obstetrician. He began his medical training at King Abdulaziz
Medical School in Saudi Arabia, did his residency at the
University of Ottawa and later at Manitoba, and did his
ultrasound fellowship at the University of Ottawa. He is an
absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to understanding the
link between insulin resistance, obesity, and PCOS. He is also
a faculty member at the University of Jeddah.


In our discussion with Dr. Arab, we cover a range of topics
including the relationship between insulin resistance,
saturated fats, obesity, and various cancers, whether ketone
bodies are harmful, beneficial, or neutral to cancer patients,
the impact the mind—and especially stress—has on the body,
philosophy of medical education, and the importance of
continuing to be curious and skeptical as a doctor after med
school.
