Dr. Ryan L. Cooley is a board-certified cardiac electrophysiologist with over 20 years of experience treating heart rhythm disorders. After adopting a low-carb lifestyle himself, he reversed his pre-diabetes—an experience that reshaped his approach to patient care. Now, he’s a dedicated advocate for low-carb and ketogenic diets, often pairing them with intermittent fasting to help patients take control of their cardiometabolic health. Driven by both science and personal success, Dr. Cooley empowers others to make lasting, life-changing dietary choices.
