Dr. Annette Bosworth, aka Dr. Boz, In her own words:
“Hi, I’m Dr. Boz. As an internal medicine physician, I spent the better part of 20 years instructing patients to lower their fat intake and increase foods filled with fiber. You know the drill; eat low-fat, avoid saturated fats, include heart-healthy grains, and exercise to lose or maintain weight. You’ve probably heard the same advice. I kept telling patients that and followed that rule myself even though it didn’t work.
All of that came to a screeching halt in 2015.
A patient pulled on my most vulnerable heartstring: “Doc, will you teach me why the doctor at MD Anderson Cancer Center asked my mom to produce ketones before radiating her brain tumor?” That made me sit up and take notice. A leading cancer authority prescribed one of their patients to switch her fuel from glucose to ketones. That’s odd. Why would they recommend that? I needed to know. My life stopped as I consumed everything I could find on the ketogenic diet and the effects of ketones on our body and brain.“
I personally put both Dr. Boz and Dr. Ken Berry in the same class of doctors who went from regurgitating the same basic unhealthy medical advice, to delivering new advice with a renewed understanding that what they’ve been teaching may be incorrect. These doctors are not outliers in the carnivore and keto communities, although they are within the “standard” medical community. In fact, the list of doctors like them is growing every day as truth begins to wash over the industry.
