Antonio Martinez, JD, had type 2 diabetes. Even though he followed the dietary advice to the letter and took medications he still suffered a heart attack.

Here Martinez shares his story – that started when he watched the documentary Cereal Killers – and what he does to stay healthy.

Watch a part of the interview above, where he explains how he got into low carb (transcript). The full video is available (with captions and transcript) with a free trial or membership:
