Episode 103: Dr. Ariel Ortiz

We are joined on the show today by Dr. Ariel Ortiz—a weight-loss
surgeon and the founder of the Obesity Control Center in Tijuana,
Mexico. We discuss the connection between preexisting metabolic
disease and the risk of death from COVID-19. Dr. Ortiz tells the
story of how he, as a result of his search for a pre-operative
diet for his patients that would shrink their livers, discovered
that low-carb dietary intervention could be used as a treatment
for metabolic disease. Eventually our conversation turned toward
doctor-patient interaction and the importance of making health
easy for the patient. How can we utilize new technological/social
platforms to make health easier and more sustainable for more and
more people? Dr. Ortiz is hopeful that the advancement of
telemedicine and remote monitoring will continue to grow,
bringing real, effective health care that reverses disease to the
whole world. Check out the info in the show notes to explore what
Dr. Ortiz is up to right now!
