E389 - The Fight For TRUE Nutrition | Mike Sweeney, RD

Mike Sweeney (@thelowcarb_rd) is passionate about helping people
with chronic disease avoid the chronic struggles that he himself
faced. He reversed his own pre diabetes and keeps his IBS under
control by living a low carb lifestyle. In 2024 he helped over 40
patients achieve diabetes remission and 15 patients become
symptom free from IBS. Mike’s passion isn't just about food, it's
about empowering people to take control of their health.
