I have been so busy lately with a full time Medical Directorship and Telehealth Wellness consults on the side that I have not updated this journey page in a while. Since the beginning of 2021, Jane and I have remained #NSNG. There may be 3-4 times a year with an indulgence such as a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or other special occasion. I have continued to plateau at a stable weight between 180-184 lbs. At the late year 2020-21 update, exercise was rowing or treadmill mostly at Zone 2. For the past year, Jane and I have been trained by Dr Ben Bocchicchio ,who lives nearby here in Arizona, in his SMART exercise system. What a difference this has made! For a busy professional who does not have time to spend hours in the gym, doing this two times a week with minimal equipment outlay has been true game changer. Until a little bout of COVID last month (finally!), I had not missed more than one week over the past year.
I have also become certified by both the Nutrition Network and the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners and have stayed busy with many educational conferences, grand rounds and CME activities. AZ Low Carb is a group of likeminded practitioners including coaches, nutritionists, nurses, physicians and pharmacists dedicated to promoting low carb wellness. We support each other and are looking for community projects. Check out the AZ Low Carb Youtube Channel You might even find my Intermittent Fasting Intro Video there!
There will be many more interesting applications for low carb healthy fat nutrition beyond weight loss and diabetes care. More and more information is coming on applicability in many facets of metabolic health such as gout, GI conditions, neurologic diseases and psychiatry amongst others. We will bring all of this to you through AZ Low Carb and ourlowcarb.com.
