Diet Doctor Podcast

Dr. Brett Scher is a cardiologist, which immediately sets this podcast apart from the usual keto influencer fare. When he talks about LDL cholesterol on a ketogenic diet or the metabolic effects of insulin resistance, he is drawing on years of clinical cardiology practice, not just personal anecdotes. That medical grounding shows up in every conversation. The show runs about 100 episodes, published on a roughly biweekly schedule, with each episode lasting 45 minutes to an hour and twenty minutes. The format is almost entirely interview-based. Scher brings on researchers, physicians, and public health experts to discuss low-carb and ketogenic approaches to chronic disease, weight management, and metabolic health. Recent topics have included elevated LDL on keto diets, continuous glucose monitors, the beef and climate debate, and critiques of the official Dietary Guidelines. He has a relaxed, measured interviewing style that listeners consistently praise. He asks good follow-up questions but never talks over his guests or steers conversations toward predetermined conclusions. The podcast sits at 4.8 stars from 630 Apple Podcasts ratings. It is backed by Diet Doctor, one of the largest low-carb and keto information platforms in the world, so the production quality is polished and the guest roster tends to be strong. The show is particularly valuable for listeners who want the science behind keto explained by someone with genuine medical credentials rather than certification-mill qualifications. If you have been doing keto for a while and want to go deeper on the clinical evidence, this is where you start.
