Overview

I enjoy partnering with patients on lifestyle modification and managing complex medical issues using both conventional and complementary approaches. I have a special interest in mind-body medicine. I started my medical career with seven years in private practice in Green Bay, Wisconsin, providing office-based, hospital, and nursing home care. In 2002, my family and I set off for the warmer climate of North Carolina in order to live in an area with a more ethnically diverse population and a longer growing season. I joined Durham Medical Center, a part of Duke Primary Care. In 2012, I helped create the Duke Integrative Primary Care Program.

Her top areas of expertise are Sitosterolemia, Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), Congenital Lipoid Adrenal Hyperplasia, and High Cholesterol.

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.
