In Episode 694 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we welcome a Lansing, MI-based pediatrician using carbohydrate restricted nutrition therapeutically with his young patients named Dr. Brad Hoopingarner. Children are a precious gift from God and we would do anything to help them grow up to be healthy, thriving adults. That is what drives Dr. Hoopingarner to go to work and be there for his patients on a daily basis. He’s not just a pediatrician but one who proudly calls himself the “Low Carb Pediatrician.” The kids in his practice call him “Dr. Hoop” and he is there for them and their parents providing delicious recipes, gentle encouragement and wise advice about how a healthy low-carb lifestyle change might be just what is needed for these precious children. Listen in as Dr. Hoopingarner (who I met in person last year on the 2012 Low-Carb Cruise) and I discuss the role of low-carb nutrition in the life of a child in today’s interview.
