Took him seeing low carb benefit his own patients that really led him in this way despite his classes teaching him CICO and SAD. Would visit Dr. Atkins, learned a lot from him. Now, Dr. Westman pays this forward and invites other doctors/scientists to come learn from him. Notes there's a lot of pushback that is unwarranted. Bad science promoted by things like religion. Learned a lot about this from the Fettke's as well. Veganism has not been around for long. Came from one woman's premonition.
