A Headspace TV show and a low carb diet... are these things that we can recommend to our patients?

This week we're joined by legendary GP Steve Pratt. With a background in public health and training as a mindfulness teacher, who better to look at the recent paper regarding the effectiveness of low carb diets in the remission of diabetes AND to review the new Headspace TV show on Netflix?
There's a 'Million Pound Question' to help you remember the Simon Broome criteria for familial hypercholesterolaemia, and the usual look at the medical news headlines and what's been featured on daytime TV.
