Dr. Tro Kalayjian
Dr. Tro is a Low Carb MD co-host and Chief Medical Officer at Toward Health. His own 150-pound weight-loss journey shapes his approach to obesity, diabetes, food addiction and metabolic health.
At Toward Health, Dr. Tro and a multidisciplinary team combine medical care, health coaching and practical support. Their approach centers on listening to patients, investigating the drivers of their health concerns and helping them make informed decisions.
Patient advocacy is part of that care: helping patients seek second opinions, communicate with specialists and coordinate with their medical teams when decisions become complicated.
Dr. Brian Lenzkes
Dr. Brian Lenzkes, a board-certified internal medicine doctor practicing in both San Diego and Arizona, turned to the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting after becoming frustrated with standard medical advice’s ineffectiveness against obesity and chronic disease, and facing his own weight gain.
He now treats patients, lectures widely, and hosts podcasts to promote this nutrition and lifestyle approach.
