Low Carb MD Podcast

Having two actual physicians co-host a low-carb podcast makes a real difference, and that's exactly what Dr. Brian Lenzkes and Dr. Tro Kalayjian bring to the table. Dr. Tro lost over 150 pounds using a low-carb approach and now runs a clinical practice focused on metabolic health and weight management. Dr. Lenzkes is a hospitalist and internal medicine physician who adopted low-carb eating in his own life and clinical recommendations. Together, they bring clinical credibility that most health podcasters simply can't match. The show launched in 2018 and has published over 429 episodes, with new ones dropping weekly. Formats alternate between guest interviews and co-host discussions. They bring on physicians, researchers, patients with dramatic health turnarounds, and authors working in metabolic health. Recent episodes have covered topics like food addiction psychology, the intersection of mental health and metabolic disease, and practical approaches to reversing type 2 diabetes. Episodes typically run 45 to 75 minutes. With a 4.8-star average from more than 1,100 ratings on Apple Podcasts, this is one of the highest-rated shows in the low-carb space. What sets it apart is the clinical perspective. When they discuss a dietary intervention, they're speaking from experience managing actual patients, not just reading studies. They're also refreshingly honest about the limitations of low-carb approaches and the complexity of treating obesity in a clinical setting. If you want your keto information filtered through practicing medicine rather than influencer culture, this is the show to prioritize.
