I have been a big fan of his work for absolutely ages and I can still remember reading his articles in The Observer magazine (a Sunday paper) over ten years ago and thinking “wow, here is a doctor that encourages people to eat the exact way I would recommend”.

This is a really exciting development as she has just completed a 12-week professional cooking course at the prestigious Dublin Cookery School and it gives her a great opportunity for her to share the amazing meals we enjoy.

I recently watched a great interview with Dr Mary Vernon who is one of the worlds leading experts on treating diabetes and obesity through a low carb approach. She also did an excellent interview with Jimmy Moore on his ever entertaining Livin’ La Lida Low Carb Show which is available here – Innovative Metabolic Solutions
The interviewer is Dr Eendfledt whom I have discussed previously in one of the most important nutrition articles I have written – The Definitive Guide to Optimal Nutrition.
