Low carbohydrate diets and nutritional therapy are increasingly being used to treat overweight/obesity, diabetes and various other metabolic disorders such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), migraines, fatty liver and arthritis. A low carbohydrate diet can also be a useful tool in maintaining optimal health and function. At Abbotsford Family Practice we are happy to offer low carb consults with one of our doctors who have speciality interest in this area. Patients will normally require a 45 minute initial appointment (regardless of whether they are known to the practice already), and follow up appointments depending on their individual needs. Dr Alexander Petrushevski specializes in this nutrition plan.
