Fat Emperor in LC USA Keto Getaway Florida – Insulin Vs Cholesterol – and CAC !

Had a great time in South Beach Miami and West Palm Beach also – got a pile of content with the fantastic camera crew Simon and Giorgos from www.dietdoctor.com – watch out for our many Miami interviews and vox pops on the world’s biggest LCHF website ! 

Also gave uncompromising talk at Low Carb USA’s Keto Getaway in West Palm Beach – note that this is just captured using my little video camera, not the 4K monsters from the DietDoctor crew! Here I introduce the importance of the Adipose…  Nice little Q&A afterwards also. I’ve a rather hardcore version of this talk which I gave at Physician’s for Ancestral Health event in Miami Beach a couple days earlier. It’ll be out soon but be warned…it’s a little hardcore indeed 😉 And mustn’t forget Ireland’s foremost Histopathologist Gearoid O’Laoí – for coining the term “Sick Fat” !

Myself and Dr. Jeffry Gerber (http://denversdietdoctor.com/) will have a book coming out late in 2017 with this and much more analysis of how to live long – and with healthy vitality to the end!
