Often, I hear from people in my clients and members of my free, online KickSugar group, who are at a loss as to how to find a nutrition-minded doctor, who’s savvy about the dangers of sugars and reefined carbs.
Today, coincidentally, I ran across information from two of my favorite, "with-it" M.Ds.
First off, I just got off a wonderful tele-seminar with the knowledgeable Dr. Mark Hyman, author of Ultra-Metabolism. (More about the call shortly.) On his website, he offers a specific section that answers the question, "Where can I find a doctor who thinks like you?" For instance, he offers links to a number of organizations which offer this information, including The Institute for Functional Medicine.
Then, Fred Pescatore, MD, MPH, CCN, another nutrition-minded physician, wrote an article that’s currently posted on SheKnows.com on "Finding a low-carb friendly healthcare provider." He recommends, for instance, contacting The American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM).
By the way, a couple of months ago, I, too, posted an article, "How to Find an Open-Minded, Sugar-Savvy Doctor & Nutritionist."
As you’ll notice, the three of us certainly list some of the same resources.
Hope this helps those of you who need a new, in-the-know doctor.
