Dr Paul Mason developed an interest in low carbohydrate diets in 2011. He then spent hundreds of hours reading and analysing the scientific literature. For the last two years, he has been applying this knowledge in treating metabolic and arthritis patients who have achieved dramatic and sustained weight loss and reductions in joint pain.
Dr Roberto Russo worked as a physiotherapist before studying again to become a doctor. He then obtained two physician speciality fellowships, one in Rheumatology and the other in the field of Nuclear Medicine. He is a highly qualified and experienced physician who treats a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions, with a special interest in non-inflammatory rheumatic diseases, Rheumatoid arthritis and sporting injuries.
