Dr Cathy Dudick MD works as a trauma surgeon and surgical intensivist in the US. As she watched the evolution of care and patients in the ICU over the last decade, it became clear that the focus of modern medicine on drugs and interventions has resulted in more people living longer with chronic disease, and has done little to enhance overall health. In fact, she says patients are older, sicker and on more medication, and signs of chronic disease start earlier, with one in three children and one in two adults being prediabetic. Dr Cathy (cathydudick.com) has partnered with LCHF clinicians such as Dr Phil Maffetone and Dr Mark Cucuzella to empower her clients to recover their health and believes doctors must lead by example.
