Dr Suresh Khirwadkarthemeatmedic.com
Welcome to The Meat Medic Podcast. I'm your host Dr Suresh Khirwadkar. I'm a GP, Board Certified Lifestyle Physician and Functional Doctor. I help my patients improve their health by focussing on diet, nutrition and other lifestyle changes, and I made this podcast to reach more people and share how to become masters of their own health. In this podcast we discuss all things related to diet and nutrition and how you can improve your physical and mental health by following the key principles of healthy living. All of the information is thoroughly researched by myself, as well as drawing on over 20 years of experience and training. I am a Specialist GP as well as a Board Certified Lifestyle Physician, and I have quite extensive training in nutrition having studies with ASLM, IBLM, ACNEM and Diet Doctor. I work extensively with diet and nutrition in my practice, and use it to help people with a vast array of issues. My focus is on holistic care, preferring to avoid medication prescriptions where possible and instead utilising lifestyle interventions to restore health and balance. My real passion though is helping people to help themselves. I'm a huge believer in educating my patients and empowering them to prevent and treat chronic diseases themselves. My goal is to get to the point where my patients never actually need me. Then my job is done.

Burn fat with cold water therapy - Ep 25

Cold water therapy is all the rage at the moment, but does it work? Well yes it absolutely does.

The optimum temperature is around 10-15 degrees celsius (50-60 fahrenheiht), and the optimum time to spend in the water is around 2-3 minutes, but you can spen...

Why is the carnivore community so divided? Harmony Day - Episode 22

There is much division between the carnivore community, much disagreement on what the carnivore diet is, what we should be eating to maintain a healthy life, and how we can get the optimum nutrition, but it doesn't have to be this way.

Is Erythritol dangerous? You may not even know you are eating it! Ep 18 - The Meat Medic Podcast

Erythritol has been in the news lately, with concerns that it will increase your cardiovascular risk and increase the risk of blood clots - that it will increase your risk of having a heart attack and a stroke. Is that true though? For a long time we've been told artificial sweeteners are perfectly safe, though many believe that to not be true. This latest research sheds a more negative light on Erythritol and claims that it increases CV and stroke risk and increases the risk of blood clots. I t...

Why do doctors seem to only want to prescribe drugs rather than spending time fixing? Episode 14

Why is it that doctors seem to only prescribe medications rather than try to actually fix the issues that people have? This may seem unfair on doctors, and some will be watching this thinking 'I don't do that'! Well that's often the take home message that patients get, whether doctors mean it or not. But why is this? Why can't doctors help more than just offering drugs to people? What about taking time to explore the issues, discuss other ways of treating their problems, or even preventative tre...

Have been lied to our whole lives? Episode 10

I've been carnivore for 4 months now.
