Dr. Laureen Lawlor-Smith has been a doctor since 1982. She has owned and managed her own General Practices in Adelaide’s southern suburbs for much of her career. She is passionate about helping people change their lives and improve their health through lifestyle medicine.
Despite following and dispensing conventional medical advice around diet and exercise for 35 years as a general practitioner, Laureen found herself obese, with pre-diabetes, sleep apnoea, and filled with shame. After discovering the transformational benefits of a low carb lifestyle, she was able to reverse her health issues, lose weight and improve her overall health.
Discovering the low carb lifestyle has completely changed her life. Her experience led to Laureen leaving general practice and co-founding the Low Carb Keto Health Clinic where she helps patients lose weight and gain health. She has reconnected with why she became a doctor to start with and now absolutely loves her job again.

Why low carb instead of NO Carb? Humans do not need any carbs because the body produces all the glucagon and glucose it needs from animal fat!! I don’t get the insistence of consuming any carbs.
Thank you for this video! Can anyone recommend a GP in Sydney that’s knowledgeable with Low Carb/Zero Carb patients? I recently started Carnivore and wanted to change GP that understands how Low Carb/Zero Carb affects LDL.
Going to a doctor that says you have high cholesterol and you need to go on Statins, find another doctor. I watch a video were they interviewed several Cardiologist. They found no correlation between high cholesterol and heart disease or blockages in the arteries. Patients that had high cholesterol that they thought they were going to see blockages and damage they found nothing and Patients they thought they’d find nothing found blockages and damage. There has been other studies that found people with high cholesterol lived longer. This high cholesterol crap is more pushed by Pharmaceutical companies that push Statins that are actually dangerous because they stop you making CoQ10 the one thing your heart needs to work just to made money around 25 billion a year .
Thank you ❤
Good talk except the hit on Twitter.
What about people with stents…and statins.
Thank you. Everything in a nutshell.
Concerning studies with LDL and HDL : I have read that the Friedewald – formula ( still often used in Germany) is guessing the LDL, not measuring?
My father had 7 stents, after a massive heart attack in 2021. He was prescribed statins. I told him not to take them, and he never did. He is carnivore now and has better health than at anytime in the last 30 years. His EF has increased as well. He exercises everyday as well. If you truly want better health you must ditch all carbs and seed based oils.
Lithium is strongly associated with EV fires.
Petrol is strongly associated with car crashes.
