Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Maria Emmerich is a nutrition and exercise physiology expert, the author of several cookbooks, and author of the blog, Maria Mind Body Health which offers readers a look at the science of nutrition and how our bodies work. After sharing a bit about her health journey and how she discovered LowCarb, Maria, Tro, and Brian discuss LowCarb cooking, how stress factors into considerations of total health, the negative effects resulting from the psychological pressures of thin-idealization, the normalization of junk food, and fat shaming, and what is the safe spectrum of dieting within which to make specific recommendations for patients.
