Using your doctor as a valuable resource. In This Podcast: Having a background in construction, he was not your typical med student, but Dr. Ken Berry used his real-world experience to become a better doctor.  Then when he realized he was becoming physically unfit while following the very advice he had been giving his own patients, he questioned his teachings and sought out better answers.  He now helps people communicate better with their doctors and offers advice on diets to fight obesity and Type 2 Diabetes among other chronic illnesses.
