ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor.  After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine.  While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine.  From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics.  His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics.  He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline.  We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event.  Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area.  We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance.  Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
This is the first in a series on Low Carb Dietary Recall Research. Glycemic Index is the impact on blood sugar by foods. The Glycemic Load measures the impact of a meal. Daily Glycemic load would cover and total all food during the day. 
Standardized software (The NDSR - Nutrition Data System for Research) is used by nutritionist interviewers to find matches to the foods. After the food matches are made, the glycemic index must be calculated. That's done using other standard databases (the International Table of Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load Values and the University of Sydney online databases).
After these data are found, calculations have to be made. The frequency and amount of foods ingested must then be calculated. Findings were blinded and replicated. Repeat calculations were found to have high correlation.
