DR STEFAN DU TOIT

Dr Stefan du Toit has been a family physician in a rural Canada for the last 7 years, and previously practised in South Africa also as a family physician. His specific interest is weight loss and management of chronic disease through dietary changes, specifically through applying low-carb, high-fat principles. He has extensive experience in applying these programs in medical practice. Since 2010, he has run group medical appointments with large numbers of patients. With electronic medical record systems he was able to gather relevant data which changed his perspective of the management of chronic disease. He says many the chronic diseases we see nowadays can be effectively managed by just dietary changes.  He says common sense should prevail in the management of patients, but this is unfortunately not always backed up by evidence-based medicine.
