Episode 232: Doug Reynolds and Dr. Laura Buchanan

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Doug Reynolds is the Founder and CEO of LowCarbUSA and the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. LowCarbUSA was founded in the beginning of 2016 with the initial intention of providing a platform, through an annual conference, for internationally renowned scientists and medical practitioners to present the ever-increasing body of evidence on the benefits of reducing carbohydrates in the diet (and adding in healthy fats).

Dr. Laura Buchanan is a Family Medicine Physician. She graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences from the University of South Florida and was a valedictorian of her class at the University of Florida College of Medicine. Dr. Buchanan is a certified Metabolic Health Practitioner (MHP) and a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. She is a member of the Obesity Medicine Association and will be taking her board examination in the fall of 2022.

In their conversation, Tro, Doug, and Laura talk about the founding of the SMHP and Low Carb USA, Dr. Buchanan's discovery of the low carb lifestyle and diet, the content and goal of the SMHP, the value of the CGM as a tool for empowering patients, and the upcoming SMHP conference.
