(2:00) There is a pandemic in metabolic health that needs to be addressed. (9:00) Some people have taken better control by using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) to see immediate results of how certain foods affect them.

Vinnie asks what Laura and Matt are seeing as they start their careers in medicine. Laura has trained directly under prominent low-carb doctors. Vinnie believes that it's necessary for intelligent discourse among doctors. Matt shares a couple of points about T2D and outpatient treatment that are important for success, even from 5 years ago. (35:20) They talk about how today's medical curriculum still needs to be updated. They also emphasize the need to create a "new normal" of people not needing so many medications.
