Overcoming Healthcare Barriers: Amanda Decker's Metabolic Health Approach #150
Amanda Decker, an experienced nurse practitioner, is revolutionizing metabolic health. She shares her journey from childhood obesity and psoriasis to discovering low carb lifestyle benefits. Decker discusses challenges implementing this approach in traditional healthcare, where medication is often prioritized over lifestyle changes. Her determination led her to pursue certifications in obesity medicine and ketogenic nutrition.
Decker stresses addressing food addiction and instilling hope, saying, "You don't know what someone's going to do until you give them the option." She offers practical strategies for low carb living, like using grocery delivery to avoid temptation. Decker also organizes the annual Low Carb for Better Health conference.
The discussion highlights the disconnect between standard nutritional advice and metabolic health realities. Decker and Dr. Ovadia advocate for a healthcare shift from symptom management to addressing root causes through lifestyle changes.
