Carnivore Community Meeting with Dr Elie Jarrouge

Elie is a Hospitalist at a leading hospital in Houston’s Texas Medical Center and is a board-certified physician in internal medicine and nephrology. His practice focuses on caring for acutely ill patients admitted for a myriad of medical conditions. Like most of us, Elie has wrestled with a host of health issues including back pain, high blood pressure, insulin resistance and full on Dad Bod. After being frustrated with conventional approaches, Elie took a radical departure from mainstream medicine and used lifestyle to completely alter his health. This first-hand experience shifted his professional interests to include nutrition as his primary tool to combat chronic metabolic and autoimmune diseases. While he'd already been using his personal time to help patients harness the power of food to reverse their chronic conditions for years, treating more than 100 COVID patients over the last 6 months was a game changer. Almost without fail, the main predictor of poor outcomes for the patients was Metabolic syndrome! As a result, Elie’s focus, passion, and commitment is to improving patient health today, as well as avoiding issues down the road with Lifestyle Medicine. When not at the hospital, Elie likes to unwind outdoors by hiking, skiing, and studying Stoic philosophy.
