Dr. Durham: “If you need a family Dr. here in Boise hit me up. I went from 235lbs to keto to carnivore and then finally came across your info. Now at 195 I feel comfortable knowing what I can and can't have and why I was so sick. Felt great on carnivore but can't live that way forever. Thank you for your work.”
