  1. Dr Hampton goes beyond the script that doctors are given to treat these chronic diseases that eventually take your life. I appreciate that so much because many doctors just throw drugs on you with no explanation of what you can do, truly, to get better. While big pharma medicines offer, in many cases, Band-Aid "cures", , we need doctors that talk about how food is medicine and in the words of Dr Hampton meeting people where they are in terms of offering healthy substitutes for the garbage, known and unknown, that we ingest. Thank you for your insight and understand that you are not just a voice crying out in the wilderness where no one can hear you. We love you for this information. Keep it coming.

  2. This has made me think that it'd be great to have chefs from different cultures to help create low carb recipes that connect with these communities-maybe something for the diet doctor website?

  3. Very informative podcast! I just learned of him through a friend, and I am looking forward to listening to more of these. It is wonderful to finally hear an M.D. take interest in nutrition and take a holistic view on treating the individual person.

  4. It’s wonderful what the both of you bring to the table…

    Discrimination is a horrible feeling!!! Unfortunately I have felt it the majority of my life because of being FAT, how sad.

    I’ve learned a lot the last several months and I’m thankful to doctors like you who really care about us humans. Following intermittent fasting, no sugar low carbs I’m off all diabetic medication statins and kidney!! Forever grateful for the work you both do. It’s life changing.

  5. Dr. Hampton is a real gem. This is a welcome & timely discussion. I've shared it with my sisters and brother in law (he's a traditional pharmacist). It's very difficult to make these messages penetrate and to effect constructive change for me as a non-medical professional. Thx!

  6. Thanks for this. I now have a more nuanced understanding of micro-aggression and anxiety. Who knew that a diet podcast would provide better understanding than political or activist podcasts. Your episode on the food guide also had similar insight.

  7. THANK YOU diet doctor for having Dr. Tony on the podcast. I have been following Dr. Tony's work and am happy and excited to spread his work to others. As a black female, diet doctor member, recovering pre hypertensive/prediabetic, and former semiprofessional soccer player low carb/keto has been life changing. I hope more people of color will watch Dr, Tony' videos and try keto low carb and see for themselves just how easy, delicious and health promoting not eating sugar, processed foods, grains, and seed oils can be. – Awesome Dr. Bret

  8. I swear I can identify with everything he says. Trauma, anxiety, bias from doctors, and I was putting bbq on everything lol. I had an obese white female dr that just wanted to put me on meds, would talk to me for 4mins tops. I spent more time in the waiting room. Switched to a healthy fit black female doc. She pushed high carb low fat and exercise. When I went in after losing 25 lbs in 3mos she thought I was sick. Like she knew there was no way I could lose that much weight with her suggestions lol. Can't wait to go back for my next visit so she can see I lost another 10 lbs and surprise by saying I did the opposite of everything she said. I was afraid to tell her that last time because she said my LDL was high.

  9. I’m so proud to see an interview with Dr Tony Hampton on Diet Doctor. He is very knowledgeable and cares about his community. Delivering healthcare not just treating symptoms.

    Finally someone that looks like me. I have been waiting for this day. 😊 🙏🏿

    I hope you continue to have a multicultural diverse group of educated professionals on the channel.

    This has made my day 😃👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

  10. 50% of living a healthy life is between the ears. Takes education, adjustment, will power and mental aptitude. Losing weight will be the gravy (pun intended), having healthy body & mind should be the goal.

  11. I am a 62 year old African American Chemical Engineer in the low carb space. I have been in this space for over 20 years because of solving my own PCOS issues. Interestingly, the nutrition education I received from my grandparents will get you almost there. My grandmother told me over 25 years ago that low fat "will not end well for you". Eating an animal nose to tail; don't eat too much sugar and certainly do not drink it. She would tell me how they would get up and work the farms THEN eat breakfast so this notion of skipping meals being problematic is nonsense. I say all this to give you an idea of the approach that I use when trying to help friends and family in my age group. I admonish them to go back to what they learned from their grandparents 50 years ago. Because of my education as an engineer AND my connection to past nutritional education, I am having some success. My engineering approach coupled with my grandmother is helping quite a bit. I would love to team up with Tony someday and see if together we could have a synergistic experience. I will be retiring in about a year and a half and would love to make this my next career. BTW, I started out as a biology major at Cornell University with thoughts of being a doctor. It only took me 1 semester to switch to chemical engineering and that was a great decision.
