Overview

I was attracted to the field of medicine because its powers to heal, and I fell in love with primary care because of the opportunities to build healing relationships with patients and their families. I believe every patient's situation is unique and that health care is best delivered through a team with the patient at its center. I know i am doing my job as a primary care physician when patients feel empowered to take care of their health. I am married and have a young daughter, who is the absolute joy in our lives. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and playing the piano.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 49 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

After 20 years of clinical and research experience using low carbohydrate, ketogenic diets, I am continually amazed at how health can be improved by just changing the food that someone eats. I use an approach that is simple and effective, and evidence-based. Medical conditions, like type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, GERD, fatty liver, and PCOS, can all be improved or even reversed through food. I am specialized in internal Medicine and obesity medicine, and I am the author of the books End Your Carb Confusion, The New Atkins for a New You, Keto Clarity, and Cholesterol Clarity. Dr. Westman is highly rated in 13 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia, Parkinson's Disease, and Movement Disorders.
