Sophia F. Francis

Overview

I treat common chronic medical illnesses, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and hypothyroidism. I enjoy building a rapport with my patients and fostering the doctor-patient relationship through patient-centered care. I believe communication and transparency with patients is the cornerstone of health care and strive to accomplish this with evidence-based medicine. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, binge-watching a television series, staying abreast of current events, traveling to visit family, and exercising with my children.

Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 2 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.
