Nutrient dense, no dopamine hit, nothing to crave. The class runs in small groups, everyone testing their glucose and ketones each morning and comparing notes. Years in addiction medicine taught her that the people who stayed the course were the ones who kept showing up.

Nobody craves a sardine! That is why @AnnetteBosworth, MD, puts them on the menu. In her talk at the 2026 Boca Symposium she told us about the 21-day ketogenic class she runs twice a year, and the sardine stretch in the middle of it. buff.ly/x1xUIhQ

Taking a stand can feel daunting. But you don't have to do it alone. That's what The Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners is built for—the resources, the language, and the confidence to bring this into your own practice. And the Symposium for Metabolic Health is where you meet the people already doing it. Practitioners further down the same road. Colleagues who've had the conversation you're putting off. Patients whose results speak for themselves. January 29–31, 2027 · The Plaza Hotel, San Antonio Our first San Antonio symposium, with a full day dedicated to food addiction. Philip Ovadia is presenting. buff.ly/2eE6eNp Join us, network, and leave with a way to implement ketogenic therapies in practice.

They're eating low carb, they know it works, and they're still not telling their patients. Philip Ovadia, MD - @ifixhearts - is a heart surgeon who travels the country filling in at hospitals. He still gets the occasional side-eye in the doctors' lounge for a breakfast of bacon, eggs, and butter. But he sees reason for hope. Because he keeps finding doctors who are low carb themselves. Doctors who know it works, because they're living it. They're just not passing it on to the patients in front of them.
