Overview

I have been practicing internal medicine since 1998. I enjoy the daily challenges of taking care of complex diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension (high blood pressure). In addition, I have a strong interest in preventative medicine and preventing diseases before they become a problem. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania. In 2014, I made a decision with my family to move to the Raleigh area to be part of a growing community with a great future. My family and I love spending time together outdoors and look forward to the warmer climate here. I am honored and privileged to be a part of Duke Primary Care.

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.
