“P:E Diet” Co-Author Ted Naiman, Surgeon Robert Cywes Added to Powerhouse Low Carb New York Conference Roster

Board Certified Obesity Doctor Tro Kalayjian to Bring Biggest Names in Keto, Low Carb & Intermittent Fasting to Hudson Valley’s HNA Palisades Conference Center in July 2020

PALISADES, NY, December 17, 2019 — Two more big names in the world of low-carb nutrition are the most recent additions to a power-packed lineup of speakers scheduled to appear at the inaugural Low Carb New York Conference to be held July 16-19, 2020 at the HNA Palisades Premier Conference Center in Palisades, NY.

Ted Naiman, a board-certified Family Medicine physician and author of the popular book “The P:E Diet”, and Robert Cywes, a surgeon who specializes in weight management, carbohydrate addiction, and bariatric surgery, have been added to a powerful speaker lineup that will address the latest topics related to low-carb, keto, and intermittent fasting.

This groundbreaking conference—organized by Dr. Tro Kalayjian in partnership with Intensive Dietary Management/The Fasting Method (IDM/TFM) & LowCarbUSA—will feature keynotes and presentations from some of the field’s leading experts and medical professionals. 

Other speakers will include Tro Kalayjian, Brian Lenzkes, Megan Ramos, Nadia Pateguana, Ben Bickman, Nina Teicholz, Nadir Ali, Christian Assad,, Evelyne Bourdua-Roy, and Terri Lance. Additional prominent experts are likely to be confirmed as speakers in the coming weeks.

“When you look at the data, the diets that are lowest in processed carbohydrates, and lowest in sugars are the diets that help people lose weight and fix their diabetes,” said Kalayjian, who opened Dr. Tro’s Medical Weight & Direct Primary Care in Tappan, NY earlier this year.

“Earlier in my career I looked at metabolic diseases in the same way the medical establishment has viewed these diseases for decades. Diseases like Type 2 diabetes are thought of as progressive, and most doctors typically hope to merely slow that progression. In my practice, using low carb, keto and intermittent fasting, I regularly take patients off medications, and help them restore their health.”

Kalayjian, who co-hosts the popular Low Carb MD podcast, decided to organize Low Carb New York in response to the exploding interest he’s seen in low carb, keto, and intermittent fasting in recent months.  

“We’ve already had more than 950,000 podcast downloads in just 11 months, and our audience continues to grow,” said Kalayjian. “I am frequently asked to speak at events in the local community, which I do as my schedule permits, but it has become clear there is demand for a full-fledged conference, and that is what we are providing.”

The conference is open to all, including the general public, health, nutrition and fitness enthusiasts, the scientific community, policymakers and healthcare professionals. Continuing Medical Education (CME) up to 14 hours is available for healthcare professionals.

 “We’ve seen the benefits of therapeutic fasting and low carbohydrate diets in our work with more than 10,000 people worldwide,” said Megan Ramos, who co-founded Intensive Dietary Management and The Fasting Method along with Dr. Jason Fung, MD. 

Ramos was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) at age 12, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) at age 14, and Type 2 diabetes at age 27. She reversed these metabolic conditions and achieved an 86-pound weight loss by combining intermittent fasting with a low carb diet, and is now passionate about helping others do the same.

“I’ve been extremely fortunate to be able to help educate thousands of people online,” said Ramos. “At IDM/TFM we help people worldwide lose weight and eliminate unnecessary medications with the assistance of their doctors. In some cases, I have even helped women, who have been told they are infertile due to PCOS complications, have babies with the education provided through video chat.

“As rewarding as it is to help people online, I am always enthusiastic when I have the opportunity to speak to people face to face at conferences such as this one. We know there is a large demand for education on these topics in the New York area, and we’re hoping this will be the first of many conferences we hold there.”

Doug Reynolds, the founder and CEO of LowCarbUSA, also has firsthand knowledge of the power of the ketogenic lifestyle. “I started gaining weight as I approached 40,” said Reynolds who had run nearly a hundred marathons and ultras. “I was gaining weight each year, regardless of how hard I trained. Ultimately, I was getting injured, and I began to hate running.”

Soon after adopting a keto lifestyle, Reynolds dropped the weight and his injuries resolved. “I am back down to the weight I was when I was 30,” Reynolds said, “and my recovery after training is better than it has ever been. I am now committed to helping to reverse the current consensus on diet here in the US and around the world. Low Carb New York 2020 will help us move closer to that objective.”
