Reviews for "Low Carb Doctor's Kit"
Louise, many thanks for the low carb doctor's kit. I found this to be a really valuable tool. The principles are so simply explained and illustrated. I have already used the resources with numerous patients and one of the administrators at work. You have also inspired me to eat low carb. Looking forward to following your work.

Dr Louise's low carb patient handouts have definitely been very helpful as it really condenses the vast amount of available information to more bite-sized chunks so that patients find it less overwhelming. It's been particularly helpful as the patient information contains multiple different tips and patients will usually resonate with a few of them, even if not all, and this can be really helpful in improving their overall diet to help manage their co-morbidities.
Dr Cheryl Ngieng (GP)
“This resource provides excellent visual aids for patients to understand the intricacies of metabolic health and its relationship with nutrition. It outlines the major players in metabolism to remind health practitioners of important points not to be missed when counselling patients on dietary changes. Its implementation in practice is an excellent way to facilitate discussion between patient and doctor and realistically create a unique plan for each patient’s goals. ”

Louise is a very experienced and consummate educator who has refined her educational materials on this subject to be a powerful and valuable tool. I recommend her highly.

Most doctors have access to computers when consulting. Using a structured approach when teaching patients has the added advantage of spaced repetition for you. When you are providing advice that is counter to the mainstream view, having a professional visual guide improves your credibility too!

The direct path to knowledge.
There are many ways to learn about low carbohydrate diets. Acquiring knowledge in a disjointed way takes a lot of time, and you may be uncertain how to implement it with patients.
This carefully curated curriculum arms you with the evidence based knowledge and tools you need to confidently provide nutritional advice in short and long consultations. Helping patients restore their metabolic health is a wonderful way to practice!
Running on Time
Running late is stressful, and often seems out of our control. You will learn a practical systems approach to time management by assessing the contributing factors, and your locus of control. Training both the patient and physician, you will learn the essential technique of eliciting and limiting agenda whilst applying a CBT and mindfulness approach to optimise your mindset.

It can be divided to deliver advice in a few minutes or during one long consultation. It saves time, provides structured visual learning for the patient and reduced cognitive load for you!
