Dr. Gearoid O’Laoi is an Irish doctor and Histopathologist who embraced #LCHF 5 years ago – to amazing effect. He is extremely well-researched and shares many insights in our rambling conversation(!).
Gearoid is also a proponent of the Calcium Scan, with a zero score at 63 years of age. He has seen much calcium buildup in the many autopsies he has conducted, and knows the power of the scan to save lives, if only it was widely deployed.
