Dr. Ankur Verma, an emergency medicine specialist from New Delhi and host of The DESI EM Project podcast, shares his compelling journey from a carb-heavy Indian diet to embracing a carnivore lifestyle after facing severe metabolic health issues. By adopting a meat-based diet, he reversed his own metabolic syndrome and witnessed remarkable health improvements in others, including his uncle's reversal of 25 years of diabetes. Dr. Verma challenges conventional nutritional wisdom by emphasizing the importance of biomarkers like triglyceride-to-HDL ratio and homocysteine levels over traditional cholesterol metrics. Through his podcast, he delves into topics such as emergency medicine, nutrition, and the influence of pharmaceutical interests on medical education, advocating for a root-cause approach to health.
