“More than 40 years ago, my husband Dr. Robert Atkins, a respected cardiologist pioneered and championed the health and longevity benefits of a nutritional lifestyle grounded in good fats, protein, and moderate to lower carbohydrates. Dr. Fred Pescatore was a very valued and respected member of Dr. Atkins’ team, helping patients to feel and look great while improving their health.
