The Root Cause of all Modern Preventable Diseases | Dr. Richard Jacoby (Part 2)

29: Richard P. Jacoby, DPM has treated thousands of patients with peripheral neuropathy. Now, he shares his insights as well as the story of how he connected the dots to determine how sugar is the common denominator of many chronic diseases. In Sugar Crush, he offers a unique holistic approach to understanding the exacting toll sugar and carbs take on the body. Based on his clinical work, he breaks down his highly effective methods, showing how dietary changes reducing sugar and wheat, coinciding with an increase of good fats, can dramatically help regenerate nerves and rehabilitate their normal function.He is a pioneer in regenerative medicine, has won the Phoenix Magazine Top Docs Award four separate times over the last 10 years and is the co-author of the book Sugar Crush: How to Reduce Inflammation, Reverse Nerve Damage, and Reclaim Good Health. Now with the Covid-19 outbreak and shutdown of America his message is more important than ever. Dr. Jacoby is one of the country’s leading peripheral nerve surgeons, specializing in progressive damage to the nerves that often results from diabetes. He has treated thousands of patients with the condition over the years, and has successfully treated many patients who would have otherwise had to have an amputation.
