David Ludwig

Dr. David Ludwig is an endocrinologist and researcher at Boston Children's Hospital, known for his work on obesity and metabolism. He has contributed significantly to the understanding of how dietary factors, particularly carbohydrate consumption, influence insulin response and weight management. Ludwig's recent insights into the process of retrogradation—where cooling cooked starches can alter their digestibility—have sparked discussions on healthier eating practices, particularly for those managing diabetes. His research emphasizes the importance of stable blood sugar levels in preventing overeating and improving metabolic health.
