Eric Westman
Physician, Researcher and Clinical Pioneer of Carbohydrate Restriction
Eric C. Westman, MD, is a physician, researcher and Professor of Medicine at Duke University School of Medicine. For more than two decades he has investigated the clinical application of carbohydrate restriction in obesity, type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders.
Unlike many researchers whose work has remained primarily within academic institutions, Westman's contribution combines clinical practice, scientific research and direct patient care. Throughout his career he has focused on translating the physiology of carbohydrate restriction into practical therapeutic interventions that can be implemented safely within everyday clinical medicine.
Within The Power of the Lion, Westman's work occupies a foundational position. His lectures, publications and clinical experience provide important primary evidence supporting the practical implementation of nutritional ketosis and carbohydrate restriction in the treatment of metabolic disease.
