And she loves what she is doing with The Low Carb Universe! Bitte is married and has two daughters. She shares her time between her favorite island Mallorca (Spain) and Stocksund, a community north of Stockholm, Sweden. Hanna Boëthius has lived with Type 1 Diabetes as her constant companion for 35 years, and it was as if her whole life fell into place when she started eating real food in 2011. Since her wake up call, she has gained much of her health back, thanks to simply eating the right things and nutrients for her body.

After starting on her low carb eating journey in May 2017 and then moving to a ketogenic way of eating in January 2018, she has discovered a passion for everything low carb and keto.

Since late 2015, both Louise and Andrew have used low carb ketogenic way of living to address a number of health issues along with maintaining their respective weight losses. Louise met Jackie in 2019 when she was living in the UK when she was on her ‘gap year’ living, working and traveling and discovered a new found love of pork scratchings and clotted cream.

Dr Chris Barclay was brought up in Ipswich. He qualified as a doctor at Sheffield University in 1978 (the very same year he got married and Ipswich won the FA Cup - a rather good year). He worked for two years in Sierra Leone before before returning to Sheffield to starting speciality training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. He swapped over to General Practice in 1989. Chris Barclay is currently a GP and medical writer. His special interest in diet and health began with a chance encounter; a patient told him how he had lost weight by cutting out carbohydrate foods. Chris has researched the subject ever since. He was principal investigator for the ISAIAH-Project, a diet trial in pre-diabetic patients. His conclusion: processed carbs, starchy foods and sugar are the problem; they are driving our Diabesity epidemic. In his book, Beating Diabetes the low-carb way, Chris presents compelling and persuasive evidence and translated it into a practical and effective plan. Chris has written regularly for medical magazines, most recently The Practitioner magazine. He is the lead writer for MaPPs, a drug information website to help health care organisations (Hospital Trusts mainly) provide reliable, easy to read information on medicines that can be printed off for patients to take away (again, translational work). He worked for many years as GP in Sheffield before moving back to Suffolk. He has worked most recently as a GP in Aldeburgh, His new book Beating Diabetes the low-carb way collects the fruits of his research and enquiries in one place. Dr Chris' Book Beating Diabetes The Low Carb Way - Dr Chris Barclay https://amzn.to/2SR22Eu When the food guidelines came in during the 80s Chris just took them on board. He didn’t think about them. Assumed that the people who were overweight, it was because they ate too much and moved too little. Through a patient he discovered Dine Out and Lose Weight book (https://amzn.to/3jLmsKS) and found out and about the Glycemic Index. Chris was part of a team running a clinical trial called ISIAH. It was a pilot study to see if the programme could work but they couldn’t getting funding for a proper study because there was no money to be made. Dr Chris noticed that when the food guidelines came in the increase in obesity and Type 2 Diabetes took a lurch upwards. He talks about two diets: Thermogenic diets Insulin modulating diets Minnesota Starvation Diet - Ancel Keys During 1940’s test subjects’ calories were significantly reduced. Subjects’ metabolism slowed, hardly moved, they were cold. Problem with this dieting you have to keep cutting the calories. The body goes into starvation mode.

We got no nutritional training whatsoever." Dr Chris Barclay "Most of the healthcare professionals I have come across are completely unaware of the whole low carb principles and how effective it can be."

	29 Oct 2020	008: Fidel Gonzalez – Fasted long distance cycling	01:01:27
Fidel Gonzalez has been living a ketogenic lifestyle for the last 6 years which has improved his quality of life. Despite having been fairly active most of his life with running and going to the gym, he struggled with weight gain as he aged. At 40 years old he had his first hip replacement and was advised to not run due to it being a high impact activity and may affect the lifespan of the hip replacement. After completing his hip rehabilitation he then took up cycling with a vengeance which helped achieve some weight loss but only to a point. It wasn’t until he turned 46 years of age that he discovered LCHF/keto and haven’t looked back since. He was always very active but couldn’t understand how he kept putting on weight. At 39 he was diagnosed with early onset osteoarthritis. He had one operation that didn’t help and that was followed by a full hip replacement and then the other hip 18 months later. Fidel’s wife is low carb as well as his daughter and mum. He helps lots of people to change their way of eating. Fidel uses exogenous ketones, both ketone salts and ketone esters, before races and before exams. He uses them strategically because of the cost, it is not feasible to do this all the time. Unless Fidel is doing extremely long races of over 8 hours he fasts prior to and during a ride. He only drinks water and black coffee.

	05 Nov 2020	009: Lisa Bailey – From Vegetarian To Carnivore	01:07:11
Lisa Bailey is a 52 year old who hails originally from Bournemouth, in the south of England. She is a qualified Personal Trainer, with special certifications in Kettlebell training, HIIT training and Cardio Kickboxing, plus she is also a qualified Naturopathic Nutritionist and Primal Health Coach. Years of various illnesses relating to gut health led Lisa to investigate her dietary patterns and, after qualifying as a nutritionist, more research took her on a journey from vegetarian to carnivore with the result of alleviation of all her symptoms. After suffering an injury to her back many years ago, she turned to strength training to heal her own body, and believes that exercise is an important part of the overall lifestyle and achieving optimal health. Lisa got into low carb/keto for health reasons. She had been a vegetarian for 27 years, fortunately she ate eggs. She thought she was doing it for health reasons and environmental reasons. Lisa suffered with IBS symptoms. After training as a personal trainer and nutritionist, she read a lot, which led her to paleo, thinking she had an issue with gluten. She ate paleo as a vegetarian and was constantly tired. With more research she felt she had to add some meat and fish back into her diet. This wasn’t an easy decision having been a vegetarian for 27 years. Lisa lost her smell and taste. The doctors thought it was due to allergies and gave some steroids to take for the rest of her life. The steroids didn’t help and she learned to live without smell and taste for 20 years. She then looked into zero carbs but couldn’t imagine living without vegetables. Within 3 weeks her smell and taste came back. Lisa eats nose to tail and her health has never been as good. Lisa believes if you are going to kill an animal then you should make use of the whole animal, plus different parts of the animal have different nutrients. Lisa explains the difference between carnivore and keto carnivore. Exercise is not a weight loss tool but it does matter. There are so many benefits to exercise. It affects the health of your mitochondria, it affects muscle mass. If you do high intensity resistance training and high intensity cardio, they can be short, sharp workouts, which is so beneficial. Lisa talks about the SAID principle - The specific adaptation to imposed demands. Your body will adapt when you put demand on it greater than what it is used to. The body has to adapt. Many people are not eating enough protein, especially women. They are afraid of red meat, they’re afraid of protein, especially older people who really need it. Kettlebells are very versatile that can be done at home with little equipment. We need to build our core strength. Lisa's Top Tips Be patient and give it time Avoid substituting unhealthy foods with healthier versions - step away from substituting Embrace that it is a lifestyle change Resources Mentioned Amber O’Hearn https://www.mostly-fat.com/ Georgia Eade https://www.diagnosisdiet.com/blog The Fat of The Land - Vilhjalmur Stefansson https://amzn.to/2HZwHgQ Strong Medicine - Blake F.

	12 Nov 2020	010: Sam Feltham – The Public Health Collaboration (PHCUK)	01:00:36
Sam Feltham has been in the health and fitness industry for over a decade. Starting out as a party coordinator at a sports centre and working his way up to studying at the European Institute of Fitness and qualifying as a Master Personal Trainer. After 5 years of running a fitness boot camp business Sam decided to move away from that business in order to fully focus on improving public health by setting up and directing the Public Health Collaboration. Sam started as a personal trainer and then set fitness bootcamps called Smash The Fat. Sam used to have his own podcast for Smash The Fat. After reading Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes he started to recommend low carb, real food diets. In 2015 he felt he was in a philosophical quandary. He felt to continue the business would be an uphill battle against mainstream dietary advice, which Sam felt was bad advice. He felt the only way to tackle the issue was to get to the root cause. He decided not to continue with Smash The Fat and to set up a not for profit charity aimed at lobbying the government that the food guide lines need to be changed and suggesting that they might have got the guidelines wrong in the 80s. Sam proposed this to Dr Aseem Malhotra, Dr Trudi Deakin, Dr David Unwin, Dr Jen Unwin who thought it was a great idea and so the Public Health Collaboration (PHC) was started. Ambassadors Programme The Ambassadors are local representatives of the PHC, who liaise with healthcare professionals in NHS GP practices. They help set up free support groups and show the results the programme is achieving with patients improving metabolic health and saving money for the NHS. Andy Bishop is a PHC Ambassador who joined a patient participation group, then got the PHC on the agenda for a meeting. Eventually he was able to set up a group. It took 18 months to get the first group up and running but now has 4-5 groups in north Liverpool. Ambassadors are beginning to make breakthroughs by going through the patient participant groups. Sam's Top Tips Understand and creating your ‘Why’ by creating a statement of your personal purpose of why you want to become healthier Have the resources on hand which includes a variety in foods, recipe book or websites, and consider planning the first week of your transition Have an accountability person to help you with changing your lifestyle Resources Mentioned Sam’s old training Smash the Fat http://live.smashthefat.com/ Sam’s high fat experiment http://live.smashthefat.com/why-i-didnt-get-fat/ Smash the Fat YT https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCFMZHxKvSFn-wLjaV2hf1g?feature=emb_ch_name_ex Smash the Fat Podcast https://podtail.com/en/podcast/smash-the-fat/ PHCUK Resources https://phcuk.org/resources/ Dr David Unwin’s Sugar Infographics https://phcuk.org/sugar/
	19 Nov 2020	011: Bitten Jonsson – Sugar Addiction.	01:00:44
Bitten Jonsson is a Registered Nurse since 1973, worked with addiction medicine since 1987 and sugar addiction since 1993. Developed a Holistic Addiction Treatment model, worked with group treatment for many years. She has been teaching and training professionals since 2012. Bitten is a recovering alcoholic and her understanding of addiction has been a 26 year journey. She started to learn about addiction in the 70s when she commenced her recovery from alcohol addiction. She fell in love with addiction medicine. She learnt that those recovering from drug and alcohol addiction who also smoke and eat junk food have a higher risk of relapsing. After this ‘light bulb’ moment, she promptly quit smoking but would treat herself with chocolate and ice cream. She gained a lot of weight but she was also very tired. She was told she was a food addict and set out to learn more. She started a group in 1995 and helped those with food addiction deal with the addiction. The low carb movement started in 2005 in Sweden. Bitten was told she was mentioned in a book. The low carb sentiment is that if you stay low carb you can be healthy but it doesn’t take into consideration that some are “Food Addicts”, who can stop eating the problematic foods but can’t stay stopped. Drawing on her understanding of addiction, she was able to translate this to food and food addictions. Similarly to alcohol, social users of food can have a small piece of chocolate and then stop. Whereas harmful users of food are emotional eaters, comfort eaters. Food addicts have a different brain, they are biochemically unique. They don’t respond biochemically the same way as social users and harmful users. They are the most sensitive people. Bitten developed a tool to differentiate between a harmful user and an addict. How much you eat and how often is not a criteria for addiction. She teaches, trains and certifies them in the sugar instrument. Understanding that addiction is chronic, progressive re-lapsable and deadly illness if you don’t arrest it. You don’t have a chance if you don’t embrace that. First you have to understand the illness, then you have to rewire the brain. This is through eating the right types of food - such as the keto way of eating, with clean products, good foods, good fats and you have to figure out the fuel mix. Eating the right types of food minimises the chemical release in the brain. These brain chemicals, particularly those that release dopamine is important. Increasing tolerance to dopamine is built up over time with the types and amount of food that is eaten. You eat more and more even though you feel miserable. It gives an initial high then it makes you depressed, moody, sad, unpleasant, tired, nothing is fun and you lose all your energy. You are not clinically depressed, you have lost energy on a cellular level. Bitten says get the addiction under control first for at least two years before doing any therapy. Changing the way she eats, she has become less swollen and able to move more. She has increased her energy and feels better now she is 67 than in her fifties. Bitten is like a Ferrari, she has to fuel up. Food is her medicine and fuel. She makes sure she gets her nutritional needs met. Bitten's Book In Swedish Sockerbomben - i din hjärna : bli fri från ditt sockerberoende - Bitten Jonsson https://amzn.to/2IPsoVu She also has some cookbooks Bitten's Top Tip If you suspect you have an addiction you need to deal with the addiction first.

Dr Ian Lake is a GP in Gloucestershire. He has had a long term interest in preventive medicine. Having Type 1 Diabetes himself, he eventually discovered and was strongly influenced by the book ‘Richard Bernstein's Diabetes Solution’. He went on a very low carb diet five years ago which he feels has positively transformed his daily diabetes control to near non diabetes levels. He is planning to launch a website to provide information and education about keto diets in type 1 diabetes. He is also a founder member of the Public Health Collaboration, which is a charity dedicated to promoting a real food lifestyle. Dr Ian explains how Type 1 Diabetes is managed in the UK and how he thinks that there should be alternative options.

	24 Dec 2020	016: Siobhan Huggins – Citizen Scientist Helping to Crack the Cholesterol Code (part 1)	01:06:18
Siobhan Huggins is an independent researcher focused on the science of keto, carnivory, inflammation, insulin resistance and how they all interact with each other. Over the past four years she has lost 80 lbs (36kg or 5.5stone), put chronic depression into remission, and made numerous health improvements - all from going on a ketogenic (and eventually carnivorous) diet. She hopes to continue learning the science so she can share it with others, in the hopes of better understanding why ketogenic and carnivorous diets appear to work for improving so many conditions, and why people sometimes struggle even when implementing these dietary strategies and doing everything "right". She is on the board of The Citizen Science Foundation, and is a frequent contributor to CholesterolCode.com where she posts on topics like lipids and immunity, heart disease, and inflammation, as well as the results of her self experiments with diet. In this episode Siobhan explains how she improved her depression with a ketogenic diet. She tells us how she learned about lipids and got involved with Dave Feldman of CholesterolCode.com after meeting him at the 2018 KetoFest in New London, Connecticut. We learn about some of her self-experiments, the results of medical tests and the importance of establishing a baseline. She talks about her relationship with her doctor and how she builds that trusting and respectful relationship. Siobhan explains the lipid triangle. We have a couple of corrections from Siobhan: *Two corrections on my part, though.* Apparently Dr Attia only recommends Therapeutic Lipidology – looking over old blog posts on CholesterolCode, I do mention starting with this and then went on to read Clinical Lipidology right after, so that is correct. With that said, I’m not sure where I saw Clinical Lipidology recommended, but it wasn’t from Attia. Additionally, the correct quote of what he says is “Anyone aspiring to be a lipid savant […] probably ought to get a copy.” From Part III of the straight dope on cholesterol series. Not “citizen lipidologist” as I stated.

Lou Walker Lou is a health coach. She helps clients change those sticky habits that get in the way of health and living life to the fullest. She has a particular interest in the benefits of eating ‘real food’, weight management, and workplace health and wellbeing. As well as working one-to-one with individual clients, she works within organisations, coaching people, running workshops and helping employers make it as easy as possible for people to be healthy at work. For 16 years Lou was a leadership development consultant, specialising in behavioural diagnostics and personal development. But a longstanding interest in the relationship between health and performance led her to a Masters degree in Obesity & Weight Management and a postgraduate certificate in Human Nutrition, and then a career change towards health coaching. Her Masters research was the first academic study into workplace cake culture. Its findings have implications for workplace health and Lou is campaigning to help organisations rethink workplace snacking and food-based reward culture to reduce workplace sugar consumption. Outside of work she is an athletics coach and sports massage therapist, an ambassador for the UK Public Health Collaboration and on the Steering Group for the Real Food Campaign. In this episode, athlete and researcher, Lou Walker started her low carb journey to find out what was the optimal for her Ironman performances. Lou didn’t have any ailments and wasn’t over weight but she edged her family towards low carb by cutting out potatoes, rice and pasta. She then signed up for The Real Meal Revolution and went fully keto. Lou recognises that stress and boredom make her want to eat carby foods but she doesn’t give in to the urges. Lou has swam in open water and accessed the fat on her body to keep her energy going. This helped her not have to take in nutrition whilst she was swimming. Bread is a treat for Lou on Christmas Day and her birthday. Lou did a Masters in obesity and weight management. Her original research was on cake in office culture. She interviewed 1000 UK office workers to understand what office cake looks like. Listen to all the different areas she looked into.

Graham Phillips Graham Phillips BPharm FRPharmS is a second generation community pharmacist. He describes himself as “The Pharmacist who Gave Up Drugs! “ Having played a very senior leadership role in the pharmacy profession he became disillusioned with the NHS one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare with its emphasis on waiting for symptoms to arise before treating (suppressing?) them with drugs. He pioneered a new approach using his scientific knowledge, clinical expertise and new technology which resulted in the ProLongevity service. The ProLongevity programme helps people who want to lose weight, improve wellbeing and avoid/reverse diabetes, by using new technology to monitor real-time blood sugar levels. We provide personalised advice based on your data to help you make changes to your diet and lifestyle. We avoid traditional approaches that treat symptoms after the damage has been done. Prevention is better than cure. Graham has two sons, one is also a pharmacist and the other a corporate lawyer. He lives with his partner, Karen (a GP also passionate about lifestyle medicine) in North London. Like Jackie Fletcher, Graham is also an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration. He believes that the world has become dominated by Big Food on the one hand (makes you sick) and Big Pharma on the other (makes you 10% better). In the end the science must prevail. Community pharmacies are part of the Public Health network and they see 1,600,000 people per day for health related reasons, which is more contacts than the rest of the NHS put together. As a pharmacist he had the fundamental scientific knowledge to go back and look at the science. Graham calls it the “Tyranny of Food” he would be starving at breakfast, as he finished breakfast he would be thinking “What's for lunch?”. He would be ravenous at lunch and at the end of lunch he would be thinking “What’s for supper?”. He was hungry the whole time. Now he isn’t hungry. Having won many awards in the pharmaceutical industry Graham ended up frustrated because he felt they were locking the door after the horse has bolted. If you stop taking your hypertensive medication or diabetes medication you are still hypertensive or diabetic. Medication isn’t curing people it is suppressing the symptoms. People are ending up with more and more medication. Graham understood the hormonal response to food and energy balance and the importance of the gut microbiome combined with a Freestyle Libre constant glucose monitor (CGM) he started to help people change diet and lifestyle to make lasting changes. He was having great results which was more exciting than spooning tablets into people. Graham thinks pharmacies should be remunerated for not dispensing medication. He talks about a prevention program would ensure we would be in a better place to avoid getting COVID-19 or getting less symptoms in addition to the other benefit of being that the vaccine would work better. Graham believes we have to debate the science because that’s how things change. Sleep is also very important. Did you you know if you have 2-3 nights of bad sleep and then have a flu jab it halves the effectiveness? We go on to talk about seed oils and its history, as well as the history of Corn Flakes. We are very fortunate to be able to have Graham back on the show to follow up with other topics. Graham's Top Tip Look up the PHC (Public Health Collaboration) https://phcuk.org - a great place to start especially for their resources or being able to access one of their Ambassadors.

Peter is the founding partner of Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre in Melbourne and Professor of Sports Medicine at LaTrobe University. A founding Executive Member of the Australasian College of Sports Physicians, he served two terms as President and played a key role in establishing sports medicine as a medical specialty in Australia. Peter is the co-author of the widely used text book Clinical Sports Medicine and has been team physician for professional football clubs as well as national athletics, swimming, soccer and men’s hockey teams including Olympic and Commonwealth Games. Peter was the Socceroos Team Doctor at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and subsequently became Head of Sports Medicine and Sports Science at Liverpool Football Club. He is the co-founder of the public health campaign SugarByHalf and is committed to the challenge of improving the nation’s health with improved diet and increased physical activity. His most recent book A Fat Lot of Good was published in May 2018. Living and working in Liverpool, UK in 2012, Dr Peter says that he has a strong family history of Type 2 diabetes. Despite being borderline obese with a BMI of 30, blood tests showing he had a fatty liver, he still considered himself to be in good health, doing the right thing with eating low fat foods and exercising. It was through his long standing academic friendship with Prof Tim Noakes, that he read Gary Taube’s ‘Good Calories Bad Calories’ that challenged the idea of the low fat diet. Embarking on his own journey, reading and self experimentation, Dr Brukner was able to see first hand the impact of eating real food. He lost weight, more energy, mentally sharper as went from eating three meals and three snacks to two meals and a small snack of a handful of nuts. Blood tests showed that his fatty liver had resolved and was completely normal. Frustrated by the mixed messages in the public space, he wanted a platform to campaign for dietary change. He founded the not-for-profit organisation ‘Sugar By Half’ as a public health campaign to promote and advocate for healthier eating by reducing sugar consumption. He authored ‘A Fat Lot of Good’, a best seller book which provides an engaging and easily accessible approach to eating real food.

Nikola Howard Nikola says that she started to gain weight when she entered puberty. She put this down to good too much ice-cream and a decreasing desire to exercise. In 1999, aged 29, weighing 19st 2lbs, an Evans size 26 she was concerned about the arthritis in her right knee, both wrists and left shoulder. Having lost 3 and half stone with low fat diets, and then gaining it back again, along with the extra 4 stones, what hindsight now as a very hypoglycaemic person, the periods of being hungry and ratty on those low fat attempts were increasingly wearing. She would reach for the raisins, as a fast sugar fix, which became her saviour food. What we now know as a typical “High and crash” insulin reaction. It was a work colleague that introduced her to the “Dr Atkins’ New Diet Revolution” which he had used to lose weight and lent her the book. The principles of low-carbing changed her life. She discovered freedom from Hunger. As a confirmed carnivore, low-carbing is a way of eating (WOE) where she can eat the foods that she loves. She believes that there is no sense of deprivation, as you can still eat Curry, Chinese, Steak, and (with preparation) the ice-cream and the biscuits, finding that life is just better without the Sugar and Starch. As we will hear, her journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing, with some obstacles getting in the way and interrupting her low carb living. She has endured prolonged stalls, managing various health issues, side effects of treatments yet she found her way back to low carb and is now coaching. She now works with clients who struggle with being overweight, tired, who may feel that they suffer with shame, guilt and anxiety in order to get some space, clarity and reclaim their health. She seeks to free people from Diet Prison and wishes for the UK to stop eating itself sick by being able to disrupt the diet industry paradigm, moving away from that shame and guilt that comes with sense of victimhood associated with food and bodies.

AMA - Christmas, Social Drinking, NAFLD and more This week’s episode is ‘ask me anything’ (AMA) which we wanted to answer questions from our listeners. Questions for our next episode can be submitted through http://fabulouslyketo.com/ama/ The following questions were asked by our listeners. If you “come off the Keto wagon” for some treats at Christmas, how do you kick start it again and will you have to go through the “keto flu” again?! Mel It will depend on how long you have been eating low carb keto for, which means depending on how fat adapted you have become, you will likely not expect to experience ‘keto flu’ if you have a higher carbohydrate meal. Secondly, it will depend on how long you consume carbohydrate heavy food, whether it is one meal or one week. The weight gained then will be water retention associated with glycogen storage. What I would encourage is reflecting on the idea of being ‘going off’ plan as this needs to be a lifestyle choice which you can plan ahead to social events. Before heading out, why not have a meal of bacon and eggs, which means you feel fuller. If you are served carbohydrate options on your plate, eat fatty protein first, vegetables leaving the potato (for example) last. Does fat cause fatty liver disease? Charlotte No, Robert Lustig’s Bitter Truth about sugar explains that it is fructose which is attributed to fatty liver. You can watch his video at this link: https://robertlustig.com/sugar-the-bitter-truth/ Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is where the excess consumption of carbohydrate is deposited in the liver as fat. This deposits create inflammation and then becomes fibrosised causing scarring which is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The scar tissue is the same as that of an alcoholic. What to drink when socialising? Donna There is a great infographic produced by Diet Doctor which you can check here: https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/alcohol Another great resource is the website and app produced by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO). What is good about this resource is that you can search for the brand or variety of drink, and it lists the carb content. What butter is best? Amy Typically any butter which does not contain any blend of vegetable oil is best. That is, pure butter, and not the ones labeled as spreadable. When looking for pure butter, consider that those which are produced by grass fed cows have a better fatty acid profile than grain fed. In Australia and the UK, most dairy products are from grass fed cows. Just starting out, it has been 2 days, and feels like my body is craving sugar. &

Danielle Coonerty and Erika Burt Dan and Erika are a keto couple who have been together for 14 years, living in Newcastle, Australia with their 2 rescue cats. They both have struggled with losing weight in the past and tried many different options. Keto is what has worked for them and between them have lost over 90kg (14 stone or nearly 200lb). They have now been living a keto life for four years and are still amazed with how long they have been able to maintain this new life. They love to travel and wanted to find a way to continue to enjoy traveling whilst living a ketogenic lifestyle. They began our keto travel and food blog, Have Butter will travel in December 2017 and share their keto experiences with others. Like many others, 2020 has brought them some struggles for their health and wellbeing which has been negatively impacted from the stress. Through their group they have developed a 28 day clean and simple reset to help others and get their health back on track.

Dan - Focus on the things you can have and not on the things you can’t have. Resources Mentioned Diet Doctor https://www.dietdoctor.com Quotes by Dan & Erika “Eating low carb and keto is the new normal, eating carbs is the unusual part and we always come back to the normal. When you are dieting it is the opposite.” “[Shake diets] it is so hard, how do you adapt to any social situation, you can’t? How do you come back, you haven’t learnt anything, you haven’t made any sustainable changes apart from how to make a shake?” “It kind of just stuck, all the timing seemed right, you’re eating delicious food and you don’t feel deprived.” “Oh my gosh, I am feeling better and then obviously once you start losing weight as well, there is a lot of momentum to keep going, and this time we found something that worked for us.” “I like to say it is our ‘new normal’, eating low carb and eating keto is the normal. We are not perfectionists by any stretch of the imagination, but keto is ‘the normal’. So if we eat the occasional carb, that is the unusual, which you always come back to ‘the normal’.”				28 Jan 2021	021: Terri Lance – Being Mindful of your Emotions and Behaviours with Food Choices	01:15:02
Terri Lance Terri Lance comes to this LCHF/Keto arena as part of her own personal and now professional journey. She battled obesity all of her life since childhood and was diagnosed with type II diabetes in her early 30s. It wasn’t until the age of 45 that she learned that she could actually manage her weight and reverse her diabetes through her dietary approach and also fasting. Professionally, she started as a middle school teacher before attending graduate school to earn her PhD as a psychologist. She then spent about 14 years as a therapist in private practice. During her health transformation, Terri began working as a coach at The Fasting Method. She now enjoys coaching others to achieve their weight loss and health goals. Terri is still often surprised about how her life is because in her 30s her life was on a different trajectory. She was getting sick and whilst initially she thought she had time to wait until her 70s to do something about it, she soon realised that she didn’t have that luxury. The success of changing your diet is influenced by your mindset. There is a great power in understanding your behaviours and triggers. Fasting played an important role in Terri’s health and she still uses it today.

Simone's Top Tip Keep your journey to yourself, role model good choices and behaviours Plan your meals to ensure that you have the right foods available to you Keep a symptom tracker whether that be a paper diary or some electronic record Quotes by Simone Cohn “I just know, deep down in my heart that there isn't anything else really that I want to do. I've only ever really wanted to help people in some form of a health journey. And, so I thought that I could be something that I'd like to help people.” “It just pains me to think that people could go through life, feeling unwell, or believing that they just need to wait for some disease to happen before you know it, they kickstart the change in their health. And so I just thought I'll keep learning, keep trying and build my practice around that.”				04 Mar 2021	026 AMA on stalls, strict keto vs low carb, ketones, blood glucose monitoring and loose skin.	00:46:56
AMA on stalls, strict keto vs low carb, ketones, blood glucose monitoring and loose skin. This week’s episode is ‘ask me anything’ (AMA) which we wanted to answer questions from our listeners. Questions for our next episode can be submitted through http://fabulouslyketo.com/ama/ The following questions were asked by our listeners. Why have I stopped losing weight? I lost 30 pounds over about a year. Now I’m stuck. Still very low carb - less than 20g Homeostasis is a state whereby the body reaches a steady-state Mix things up and keep tricking your body into giving up / losing fat This can be done by tracking - that you’re not over or under eating Carb creep from too much dairy and/or nuts Mixing things up like fasting for longer / shorter periods of time, different patterns. Watch out for the usual suspects such as stress, sleep or over-exercising. You may not be losing weight on the scale, but changing shape, so make sure you take pictures and measurements. Do you have any opinion on whether a strict keto diet is more beneficial than low carb, high-fat diet for autoimmune disease? An autoimmune disorder is one whereby the body’s immune system mounts a response to a particular type of tissue in the body Conditions such as Hashimoto’s, arthritis, lupus or MS What are the symptoms - such as inflammation, pain, energy and then you need to find your personal threshold for symptom relief Depending on the severity of the symptoms As a suggestion starting with strict keto would be a good place to start and then reintroduce carbs to your threshold symptoms using a symptom diary to see the effects/results. Conversely, the other way is equally as fine for compliance Do higher Ketones mean better weight loss? Ketones are a by-product of fat oxidation. The Phinney and Volek range is between 0.5 - 3.0 mmol/L There is no correlation between the amount of ketones and rate of fat loss Can I have more information about blood sugar and monitoring For blood glucose can use a machine like the KetoMojo or CGM Ketones can be measured in urine (dip strips), blood (monitor) and breath (Ketonix) Consider the cost of the strips into how and why you need to monitor your progress I’m worried about loose skin, can I do anything to help? A really good resource to explain what and why there is loose skin is Ken Berry’s YouTube Are ground almonds the same as almond flour? No, they are different Almond meal coarser and darker as it is made from raw and unpeeled nuts Almond flour is finer as it is ground from peeled, blanched nuts which are softer If needing larger quantities for baking, consider buying your nuts wholesale and mill yourself Resources Mentioned Dr Boz YouTube on GKI ratio https://www.youtube.com/watch?
	11 Mar 2021	027: Dr Michael Bazlinton – Functional lifestyle medicine	01:32:54
Dr. Michael Bazlinton Dr. Michael Bazlinton is a UK based Family Doctor (GP). He completed his GP training in 2006. Dr Michael has been practising as GP for the last 13 years. He saw in the surgery many diabetic patients which was concerning. In 2017 he started the Bodymapping Clinic. The aim of the clinic is to provide a service for individuals who want to apply science and technology to better understand and manage their health. Dr. Michael Bazlinton attended and completed the AFMCPUK training (Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice) in London in 2018. He now divides his time between being a local GP and working privately in the Bodymapping Clinic. While growing up in Stebbing Essex, with a dentist father and midwife mother, he had an appreciation for real food’s impact on health and wellbeing. At university, however, the demands of medical school meant that his food choices were less than optimal. This started to show up in his health. In 2014, his brother gave him a copy of Christopher MacDougall’s Born to Run which started him on his journey to health and wellbeing. Not only did he turn his health around he started helping his patients make changes to their nutrition. His GP practice took low carb on board and are now working out ways that they can help more people without burning out. Dr Michael Bazlinton shares how his low carb keto journey has informed his GP practice to actively help patients take control of their own health. He also recognises the limitations of the NHS and standard dietary advice which motivated him to set up a functional medicine private practice. Bodymapping Clinic allows him to support those as a low carb friendly doctor with a desire to holistically regain their health and wellbeing.

	18 Mar 2021	028: Richard Morris – The Influencer Dude	01:31:32
Richard Morris Richard is a 55 year old software developer and biochemist who once built financial systems to expose risk on Wall Street and has worked on systems from industrial robots to payroll. At 38, he was the public-facing chief executive of a major US software component company when he discovered he had type 2 diabetes. At 40 he retired and returned to Australia to devote his time to learn about type 2 diabetes. He reversed his type 2 diabetes with the ketogenic diet six years ago. With Carl Franklin, he founded the 2 Keto Dudes podcast (over 250,000 monthly downloads), and the international Ketofest event to help popularize the intervention as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. At 52 Richard went back to school to study Biochemistry. He graduated in 2020 and is now working as a student researcher in a computational Chemistry lab working towards a PhD. 2KetoDude Richard Morris set out on a journey to reverse his Type 2 diabetes which included co-hosting a podcast, holding international festivals, conferences and research. We explore his journey as one-half of the 2KetoDudes, to turning an entire town ketogenic and his plans for computational chemisty research. Richard's Top Tips You can keto anywhere Teach your boys (and girls) how to cook Enjoy 16-year-old scotch Lagavulin (in moderation!) Resources Mentioned Stephen Phinney https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYXYfxmQV2A Quotes by Richard Morris “I was diagnosed with diabetes and at least with pre-diabetes. I had one bad result. So, I decided, well, let's have a look at this, Atkins. I went on Atkins induction for three months. And at the end of that, I had a non-diabetic blood glucose diagnosis. So essentially, the doctor said, ‘Well, it was a blip. We're not sure why but you know, it looks like you're fine. So whatever you're doing, keep doing it.’ Now, that sort of didn't make any sense to me, why would I have a blip? Why would I suddenly become diabetic and then change my diet and then all of a sudden not become diabetic?” “I semi-retired at age 40, in 2006, and came back to Australia. I was intending just to live cheaply on the beach in Australia, learn to cook, get myself fit, do some exercise, and work on myself. I had no other big plans other than that. I'd been burning the candle at both ends for 20 years in my career. And so I thought, you know, let's have time to focus on myself a little bit.” “So gradually over time, I stopped eating Atkins induction. I was adding more carbs to my diet but I was eating healthy vegetables and fruit, you know, eating, quote-unquote ‘healthy’.” “I went to the doctor in the emergency room with an ingrown toenail that had gotten quite nasty. The doctor said, ‘Well, that's really awful. It's going septic and you know, if you can't control your blood glucose, and I don't think you can, then that toe may have to come off’. That was like that’s the kind of moment that will set you back on the bottom. I thought, what a minute, I thought I'd cured myself of diabetes by eating Atkins? Well, I wasn't eating Atkins at that point.” “Everyone starts out just on Metformin, and we slowly increase the drugs that we're going to give you and try and hold off diabetes for as long as we can.”
	25 Mar 2021	029: Graham Phillips – Seed Oils and Why They Are Bad For Us	01:06:26
Graham Phillips Graham Phillips BPharm FRPharmS is a second generation community pharmacist. He describes himself as “The Pharmacist who Gave Up Drugs! “ Having played a very senior leadership role in the pharmacy profession he became disillusioned with the NHS one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare with its emphasis on waiting for symptoms to arise before treating (suppressing?) them with drugs. He pioneered a new approach using his scientific knowledge, clinical expertise and new technology which resulted in the ProLongevity service. The ProLongevity programme helps people who want to lose weight, improve wellbeing and avoid/reverse diabetes, by using new technology to monitor real-time blood sugar levels. We provide personalised advice based on your data to help you make changes to your diet and lifestyle. We avoid traditional approaches that treat symptoms after the damage has been done. Prevention is better than cure. Graham has two sons, one is also a pharmacist and the other a corporate lawyer. He lives with his partner, Karen (a GP also passionate about lifestyle medicine) in North London. Like Jackie, Graham is also an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration. He believes that the world has become dominated by Big Food on the one hand (makes you sick) and Big Pharma on the other (makes you 10% better). In the end science must prevail. Following on from Episode 19, community pharmacist, Graham Phillips, the Pharmacist that Gave Up Drugs comes back to take a deep dive into the topic of seed oils and how damaging they are to our bodies.

	31 Mar 2021	030: Emma Soul – Don’t tell me what to do: Perseverance and resilience to wellbeing	01:17:27
Emma Soul Emma is a nearly 50 year old lady who is on a mission to rid herself from continuous ill health and a few to many previous chocolates, crisps and cakes, now stored as pesky fat cells! She has come to realise that carbs are not necessary at all, and if the cravings get too much she imagines her fat cells exploding and her previous dietary misdeeds being consumed! She has battled to lose 80lbs and is on a mission to lose another 80lbs. Born six weeks early Emma suffered continuous respiratory infections from birth until 2017. In 2011 she suffered a bizarre group of symptoms which meant she was unable to walk properly, speak coherently or process thoughts and actions. After the symptoms abated she was left with myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome. The neurological glandular fever has left Emma partially disabled. Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2016, a bowel tumour in 2018 and hypertension in 2019 she battles on the path to good health whilst fighting food addiction, walking and balance problems. Every day she gets incrementally better, and she is so thankful that this lifestyle has given her hope and an immune system that can now fight! Emma knew if she would listen to the doctors she would be in a wheelchair or motability scooter for the rest of her life. Emma did have a funny incident with the mobility scooter when she got stuck in a lift. She tells us how she got to her doctors surgery through sheer will power. Emma’s keto journey has not been a straight line and she talks about some of the challenges. Emma knew she had no-one to help her so she could only rely on herself. She would talk to herself and coach herself to get through. Emma counted 33 conditions she was suffering with now she only has four that remain and she describes them as being half of what they were. It is fascinating to hear how certain foods cause certain symptoms for Emma. Sometimes take days to appear. Despite years of medical training the doctors didn’t know what to do or how to help Emma. Emma's Top Tip Never give up, never believe you’re a failure because you’ve eaten something you think you shouldn’t have. Always believe you can do it no matter what others say. The one person you should please is you. You’re the person living inside your head which you answer too Try it for 30 days, don’t cheat, even if it is low carb rather than keto. Join a group for support, have the confidence to try it.

	07 Apr 2021	031: Sharon Betts – Making Choices Easy	01:10:48
Sharon Betts Sharon is a qualified Diet and Nutrition advisor and holder of the Ketogenic Diet Diploma (both with distinction). A serial entrepreneur, Sharon has built and evolved a series of food-based businesses starting from her first market stall in 1992, progressing to a retail shop in 2001, a food service offering “healthy” buffet lunches and vending services to local businesses in 2004, though to her current nutrition-based business both advising and cooking for people following a low carb high fat diet, which launched in 2015. This business continues to have huge success supporting its clients’ weight loss and fitness goals, including improved management of diabetes to reduce or eliminate their medication. Her business evolution has been guided by her own personal journey. In 2013 she discovered the low carb lifestyle and became one of DietDoctor.com’s first success stories for women over 40. This led her to study nutrition and then ketogenic diets, as she found that the standard nutritional advice was almost the complete opposite to what had worked for herself and many of her clients. In parallel, and building on her own experience of running meetings to share the benefits of the low carb lifestyle with friends and family, she became the moderator of the Keto UK community group on Facebook in 2016, and set up a sister low carb group. Between them, there are over 70,000 members. Together with her husband, she built a website www.low-carbs.co.uk/ to compliment the groups with extensive content on every aspect of Keto and low carb, and a section to support moderators running the groups. Entrepreneur Sharon Betts discovered the low carb lifestyle in 2013, becoming one of the Diet Doctor’s showcase stories for women over 40. She is the moderator of two large Facebook groups with over 70,000 members. As an entrepreneur she wanted to ensure that busy people have access to low carb, paleo, keto and clean keto ingredients in ready meals to stay compliant with their lifestyle.

But you’re not looking at that one day, you're looking over the course of a whole week.” “I do feel that is part of what keto does for you, it brings you to a weight that will work for you.” “I think it is about accepting yourself, and keto helps you do that in so many ways because it is not just physical, the mental improvements to my mood, to my overall wellbeing is just phenomenal.”				14 Apr 2021	032: Amber O’Hearn – Meaty Matters	01:19:47

Ally Houston Ally Houston helps people to be healthy while enjoying great food. He fixed his health by changing how he ate, and was so amazed with the results that he combined his dual background in science and fine dining to found Paleo Canteen in 2017. He's the co-author of cookbook Low Carb On A Budget, which has a foreword by Dr. David Unwin, and he is the director of Scoundrel Foods, which sells luxury sugar free ice cream and chocolate. Ally started paleo in 2015 after struggling with auto-immune conditions. While studying for his PhD, a physics professor introduced him to paleo which he treated with suspicion but made sense scientifically. After doing all that reading and the research Ally felt it was hard not to conclude that eating low carb is extremely healthy and if you have metabolic and auto-immune conditions it is a great way to prevent them from reoccurring and to heal them. Ally noticed the difference straight away, within a week his chronic heartburn had gone and the extra weight that he had melted away and stayed off. He was so amazed that he started his own company in 2017 called Paleo Canteen. He started in a nightclub serving food. Plus he would do events on the high street and at Real Food Rocks Festival. In 2019 Ally brought out a low sugar ice cream Scoundrel which is currently only available in Glasgow. In addition, he is an author and podcaster, having co-authored a cookbook Low Carb on a Budget and hosts the Paleo Canteen podcast. More recently he has created a Scoundrel low carb chocolate which helps chocoholics transition to low carb.

Nikola Howard Nikola is an award winning coach, author, speaker, human physiology mentor, educator, woman in technology, orchid obsessive, and has been low carb since 1999. She is on a mission to free people from Diet Prison, remove the linguistically horrific words “weight loss” from common usage and her mission statement is to ‘assist the UK to eat itself healthy.” Nikola also wants to disrupt the diet industry paradigm and move us away from guilt and shame when it comes to food and our bodies. She is one of the only people working within the diet industry to work on the mental/mindset side of body composition management, to break people away from “victim mentality” and so ensure long term success. This week’s episode, we catch up with Nikola Howard. She recently earned an award as Nutrition Coach Mentor of the Year and is on a mission to ‘assist the UK to eat itself healthy’ by disrupting the diet industry. When Nikola chose her mission at the beginning of 2020 to be to empower the UK to eat itself healthy, she didn’t realise how vital that statement would be. Sars Covid 2 affects people more if they have underlying health issues. Nikola explains that eating a low carb, real food way of eating helps heal some of the health issues we face. Nikola’s aim is for people to have long term success not just short term weight loss. Her model is you get healthy, you get your optimal body back and you get an empowered mindset so that you don’t need to fail and keep coming back. She helps people to succeed.

Her and her husband Dr David Unwin, a GP have been helping the patients in his practice adopt low carb diets to reverse their diabetes. This work has resulted in several published papers and numerous conference and media appearances. She has recently published a book called 'Fork in the Road' which is a guide for people with sugar/carb addiction. All profits are for the PHC. Dr Jen Unwin is a Clinical Psychologist and lifelong carbohydrate addict. She noticed that if she came off plan it was hard to get back to it. She knew about addiction in her work as a psychologist but hadn’t linked it to food. Once Dr Jen became aware that sugars and carbohydrates can truly be addictive, she looked into more. Dr Jen trained with Bitten Jonsson a holistic addiction specialist. They recognised that the same problems a person has with alcohol or drugs can also happen with sugars and carbs. Dr Jen explains that some sugar and carb addicts have to be careful with sweeteners, nuts, dairy and alcohol as they too can influence the brain pathways.

So I did the whole cold turkey thing, straight onto low carb. Had about eight days of feeling pretty grim. But then the lights came on, the colour came on. And I felt amazing.” “It’s essentially the sugars that are the most addictive thing.” “What's addiction? It's about this kind of compulsion and a difficulty resisting carrying out those behaviours even when you don't want to. You know, you're doing something that you know is harming your mental and physical health but still you do it.” “Find your tribe. Most of us haven't got people in our family, necessarily, who understand this struggle.” “Hope is possible.

Sheila Docker Sheila Docker from The Primal Zone is a certified online primal health and wellness coach. For 30 years Sheila suffered with inflammation of the gut that caused constant headaches, bloating, joint and skin issues, together with exhaustion and depression, impacting her ability to work, care for her family and live a vibrant life. However, 10 years ago Sheila turned her life around by healing these challenges, lost 20lbs and transformed her energy and mindset all whilst running a business and raising a family. Since 2012, she has been living a primal/paleo/low carb lifestyle, which not only focuses on nutrition, but also mindset, movement and stress triggers. A complete overhaul, specifically what she was putting in her body and how she was moving it. She has loved this way of living and the understanding of what choices influence mind, body and soul. So much so that, Sheila is now an accredited Primal Health Coach, helping others with similar health challenges that are a result of the global epidemic of today's highly sedentary and processed lifestyle. After a 30-year struggle with inflammatory issues which impacted her mental and physical health, Sheila was frustrated that she could not seem to fix her health problems. She came across Mark Sisson’s ‘Primal Blueprint’ and changed her way of eating to gluten free where her energy, mental clarity and mindset changed. Her inflammatory issues which had been a lifelong problem were resolved and she is living her best life. Sheila's Top Tips Don’t punish yourself - if you’ve eaten something that goes against what you’ve thought is your lifestyle, then enjoy it for what it is, make it the best quality. Be mindful - how that makes you feel. Be gentle on yourself, stop beating yourself up and don’t self sabotage.

Jen Isenhart Jennifer is a principal and founder of Wide Eye Productions, a Northwest digital production company that's been creating successful films since 2000. Jennifer has ushered dozens of projects from concept, through production, to completion- from Emmy Award-winning documentaries, to educational children's programs, to branded entertainment. She knows how to weave images, sound and message into memorable films. Most recently, Jennifer directed and wrote "Fat Fiction", a film about the history of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines and the miserable failure of a so-called "low fat heart healthy diet." The film is narrated by 10-Times New York Times best selling author and physician, Mark Hyman and features interviews with world class nutrition experts and science journalists. "Fat Fiction" is available to watch on Amazon Prime where more than 500 five-star reviews rank the film as one of the top nutrition documentaries on the site. As a child, Jen always thought she had an issue with sugar. This was especially true when she would crave sweet foods and then have hypoglycemic events. As an adult, she attended a “Quit Sugar” class where she learnt the effects of sugar on health and wellbeing. Now following a low carb way of eating, her digestion is better, no longer getting tired after meals, which she puts down to eliminating sugar and grains from her diet. As a film producer and journalist, Jen was motivated to learn more about nutrition, dietary guidelines and their impact on poor health outcomes. She found that we didn’t get the truth about fats, in particular saturated fats and seed oils due to flawed research, corporate and personal interests. ‘Fat Fiction’ documentary sets the record straight and is told in a clear and accessible way, something a film can do rather than another nutrition book. The documentary shows first hand how people respond to both high and low carb diets, particularly for those living with Type 2 Diabetes.

Liz LePla Liz was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 4 years ago, and although she had been overweight her whole life, she felt she was eating healthily, in line with national guidelines. Plenty of fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, low fat or fat free yogurts and margarines etc. Her GP prescribed medication for her diabetes, but she had read that it was possible to put Type 2 diabetes in remission without medication, and after a little bit of research, she decided to follow Michael Mosely's 8 week Blood Sugar Diet. Within three months she had put her diabetes in remission, and lost three stone (42 lbs or nearly 20 kg)! She subsequently joined the Public Health Collaboration, a National Charity dedicated to informing and implementing healthy decisions for better public health, and two years ago started to run low carb courses for several local GP surgeries. She has maintained her own remission from Type 2 diabetes AND the weight loss for almost four years by following a low carb lifestyle, and continues to help others do the same. Liz LePla was prediabetic and decided to follow the NHS and diabetes guidelines. She ended up with Type 2 Diabetes, despite following the advice. She was in her 60s when she was diagnosed. She put her diabetes in remission, lost 4 stone in weight and has managed to keep it off. As well as running her own business she is also an ambassador for the PHC UK (Public Health Collaboration) Charity.

Finally, she would describe herself as a “lover of learning and teaching”, a comedian and a keto expert! In this episode we talk to Christine from Black People Keto. Christine was fed up with the cycle of gaining and losing weight as her old ways of losing weight weren’t working for her. Having tried keto twice before, Christine knew that it worked but it wasn’t sustainable for her because the foods she was eating didn’t fit into her African-Carribean culture. She then set about to keto’fy Afro-Carribean foods as she knew it would mean greater success, sustainability and stop the gain-loss cycle.

I would usually lose weight from exercise.” “But my thing about this time around was that I always had enough of being in that cycle of gaining-losing-gaining-losing. I wanted this to be the permanent time, where it's gone forever. It's not coming back.“ “I thought to myself, okay, let me just do keto, because I've done it before, but let me try and make it in a way that I can keep it consistent and keep it forever ultimately.” “I started looking at different keto pages and the keto diet, and I couldn't necessarily find one that fits into the diet that I'm used to.” “

Netta Gorman Netta Gorman is the person behind Life After Sugar... because real life carries on even when you're sugar free. Netta has been living happily free from sugar, flour and sweeteners since July 2015 (6 years now!). She spent most of her thirties and early forties struggling with chronic constipation and digestion issues but she never thought that her love for chocolate and desserts had anything to do with it. Doctors kept telling her to eat more fibre, but this was making things worse, not better. In July 2015, she got to a breaking point where her pain and suffering was so bad that she decided to do something she'd never tried before: cut out sugar, flour and sweeteners for a temporary period of just 2 weeks. And to her complete amazement, she felt so much better that she just carried on and never looked back! One thing that still amazes her is that her tastes changed, and now she doesn't even like sweet tastes any more (whereas before, she was the world's #1 sweet tooth). And most of all, the one word that sums up her life after sugar is "freedom" - freedom from cravings, from energy crashes, from that love-hate relationship with sugar, from all the health issues she had. And this is why she decided to help other people to get to this place of freedom and peace with food and with themselves, with the Life After Sugar Program. Netta Gorman wasn’t overweight. She considered herself slim even if she did have a muffin top and was carrying a few extra pounds but she suffered with depression and terrible chronic constipation. She didn’t want to believe that sugar was the culprit and didn’t want to give up sugar until her pain got so bad. Her two week trial made such a huge difference that she just kept going. Netta has incorporated fermented foods into her everyday life which helps with her gut issues. Netta's Top Tips Go with me and see how wonderful life is after sugar Be aware that your tastes can change Give it a try and don’t wait until Monday Resources Mentioned Villi Yoghurt Starter Culture Mesophillic Starter Culture Quotes by Netta “She [nutritional therapist] suggested to me to see whether my digestive issues were due to what I was eating, so just for a period of two weeks to cut out sugar, grains, and sweetness, and even berries.” “The way that I was dealing with my issues, or my pain, or my anxiety, whatever was to eat chocolate. I wasn't going to cut out the only thing that made me feel better. So I resisted that for the longest time.” “I went to the supermarket and just sort of wandered around aimlessly, picking things up on the shelves and putting them back again. Because I was looking at the ingredients, and they all had some form of sugar or flour.” “I finally cottoned on to the fact that real food or whole food doesn't have added sugars or grains, then I sort of had this epiphany in the grocery store. Oh, well, I'll just have fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, seafood, you know, and nuts. And I'll be fine with that.“ “I don’t identify myself with how I eat.”				25 Aug 2021	051: Hanna Boëthius – Low Carb Universe	01:18:42

You can't make insulin because you're Type One diabetic. So if I were you, I'd really think twice about what I put in my mouth.’ And that was really my a-ha moment.” “I never really reached any sort of standards that I was supposed to.

Dr Ruth Tapsell Ruth is a GP in North Devon in the southwest of England. Three years ago she came across Dr David Unwin who was using lower carbohydrate diets to achieve outstanding outcomes in his patients with Type 2 Diabetes. So having tried unsuccessfully over many years to help her patients using the mainstream approach, Ruth and her team decided to offer the lower carb approach instead. Since then, they have been seeing some remarkable outcomes with many patients putting their Type 2 Diabetes into remission, losing excess weight, coming off many of their medications and benefiting from a host of additional benefits, including resolution of sleep apnoea and IBS. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought into focus the alarmingly high prevalence of poor metabolic health. The tragic collision of these 2 pandemics motivated Ruth to spread the word to other health professionals that metabolic health can improve significantly within weeks, and that this may help to improve an individual's outcome from Covid-19. To reach out to health professionals across the UK and beyond, Ruth has been delivering a series of free, unsponsored educational webinars, with her co-host, Midlands-based practice nurse Gayle Gerry. Ruth and Gayle have welcomed a terrific selection of speakers from a range of medical specialities who feel similarly passionate about sharing this good practice with other health professionals. Hopefully, as the community of low carb practitioners continues to grow, this will lead to many more patients being offered this highly effective approach and becoming empowered to regain control of their metabolic health. Dr Ruth Tapsell acknowledges that her medical school education did not cover nutrition or sleep. Even with Diabetes and Endocrinology training, it didn’t make sense that her patients were eating carbohydrate-laden food and covering it with insulin. She thought that if eating a certain way causes diabetes then by changing the way we eat it, it might be possible to reverse Type 2 Diabetes or prevent it. She didn’t discover using therapeutic carbohydrate restriction as a way to manage type 2 diabetes until three years ago. It was her husband, also a GP, who came across an article from Dr David Unwin in a medical magazine. They have started using this approach in their general practice. Dr Ruth now runs local groups for patients and webinars for health care professionals to get the word out and educate others on the use of low carb / real food way to manage their health and wellbeing. Dr Ruth featured in an article in the Daily Mail highlighting the work she is doing in helping her patients halt and reverse Type 2 Diabetes. She talks about her general practice in being a low prescribing practice and the challenges of getting others within the NHS to get on board with these life changing practices. One of Dr Ruth’s dreams is that Hartland in Devon becomes a Blue Zone, where everyone lives to 120. We talk about raising teenagers and how difficult it is in school with the food on offer and with their peers.

Megan Pfeffer Megan Pfeffer is a Clinical Nutritionist and the founder of ‘I Choose Health’, providing international education & support via online webinars, workshops, one-on-one consults and group online courses. Megan also researches and presents at international conferences to raise awareness of the loose connective tissue disease lipoedema and also for breast cancer. Megan co-authored the 2020 research paper titled ‘Ketogenic diet as a potential solution for lipedema’, published in the peer-reviewed medical journal ‘Medical Hypotheses’. In 2019 Megan discovered she had lipoedema while researching the condition for one of her patients. In 2020 she was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer and underwent a life-saving bilateral mastectomy, and is now cancer-free. Megan lives a keto lifestyle to manage her own health and loves helping women around the world to take back control of their health. Megan Pfeffer didn’t know she had lipoedema until she had a client who needed help with her condition. Lipoedema is often misdiagnosed or confused with lymphoedema. Lipoedema is a loose connective condition, that is resistive to standard diets, so can be very frustrating. It also presents with pain which is also not believed by health and medical professionals. In this episode, we talk about her journey and navigating cancer as well as how she helps others regain health.

	13 Oct 2021	058: Belinda Fettke – Uncovering the Vegetarian Agenda	01:51:51
Belinda Fettke For more than half a century we’ve been told to eat a diet high in grains and low in saturated fat and instead of improving health outcomes the incidence of non-communicable disease has escalated. Discovering Belinda's husband, Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr Gary Fettke, had been targeted for 'active defence' by the cereal industry in 2014 and subsequently became the only medical doctor in the world - 'silenced' - from providing nutrition advice to his patients; people with metabolic disease and the complications of Type 2 diabetes, requiring debridement and even amputation of their lower limbs, was unbelievable... Belinda began her research into the vested interests and ideology shaping our dietary and health guidelines to clear Gary's name. She began asking why 'plant-based' dietary and health guidelines had become strict rule books, who was writing them and who was defending them! Incredibly she discovered... the answers were buried in the pages of history. Belinda Fettke was the voice during the time when her husband, orthopedic surgeon, Dr Gary Fettke was being silenced by the cereal industry. She uncovered deep in the history books, that our dietary guidelines, research and medical curriculum was being rewritten to remove animal protein and fat, replacing them with fruit, grains, nuts, seeds and plants as ‘God’s appointed diet for man’. This is clearly not evidence-based but ideological and religious. Now our doctors, nurses and dietician education is being influenced by the food industry and religious sects. Who Was Belinda's One?

If you have a food that when you eat it, you feel guilty afterwards, guilt debate, remorse, regret, then it's a trigger food." "Or if you have romance, it's kind of more like anticipation, longing,

Dr Rob Cywes Robert Cywes M.D., PhD is a clinically practicing doctor and surgeon in Florida and Idaho. His mission is educating the public about a carbohydrate addiction approach to treating obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Understanding the importance of replacing carbs in your diet with real food while simultaneously replacing carbs as a toxic, harmful response to emotional tension with a more effective diverse healthy set of emotion management tools for lifelong sustainability of mental and physical health, happiness and well-being. Converting people from toxic sugar burners to healthy fat (keto) burners while addressing the cause of addiction to carbs from an emotion management perspective. Sometimes using obesity surgery and devices as tools along the way, and helping people who have had bariatric surgery stay healthy and not relapse Dr Rob Cywes is the ‘Carb Addiction Doc’ whose medical practice focuses on the psychology and physiology of carbohydrate addiction. He was not overweight until he moved to the USA and started to eat SAD (Standard American Diet) when the weight piled: he gained 100 pounds. He realised that his weight struggle wasn’t a problem with calories, but a dysfunctional relationship with a drug called sugar. When he treated sugar like a drug and himself as a drug addict, he was able to lose the weight and has remained stable for 22 years. He now recognises that there is a physiological component and a psychological component and for many, they have two jobs: firstly, deal with the psychological component in order to be successful in managing the emotional tensions which lead to secondly, dealing with physiological dependence of those instant gratification foods leading to carbohydrate addiction. Dr Rob's Top Tips Take ownership of your dependency on sugar and starch as a form of emotional management Eat the elephant in small pieces Be the tortoise, not the rabbit. Think of change as a habit. Resources Mentioned Glycaemic Index - David Jenkins Down Dog App Quotes by Dr Robert Cywes "When I moved to the US, I gained a tonne of weight, well over 100 pounds. I struggled with that, and eventually found that the problem wasn't so much a calorie problem, as it was a dysfunctional relationship with a drug called sugar" "There are two aspects to carbohydrate addiction is that there's a physiologic and psychological component, and you can look at them separately or together." "The commonest cause of death is human behaviour" "So the challenge is that we have diminished self-care, and maximised productivity, almost like when machines. Then, it's much easier to look at an instant gratification system that gives us instant relief." "It's about the relationship and we'll look at why people overdo alcohol, carbohydrates, nicotine, whatever it may be." "Addiction management is about empowerment and enrichment of your life." "Deprivation is the dietary module and that is why 98% of diets fail." "A snack is always, always, always an emotional event." "All human beings, every day, need to manage anxiety, stress, depression, anger, fear, frustration, sadness, boredom, and pleasure. I call that emotional tension." "Those M&M’s t

Enter your text here... Dr Suzie Edge Dr Suzie Edge trained as a molecular biologist before moving to medicine where she became interested in trauma and orthopaedic surgery, and pre-hospital emergency care (something I have in common with Louise). After becoming somewhat disillusioned with medicine and the NHS she did a masters degree in modern history and during lockdown started to make medical and human body history content on social media, particularly on TikTok where she has gained 197,000 interested followers. She has recently signed a publishing deal for her first non-fiction book and writes fiction in her spare time. Suzie became interested in low carb and keto after years of not understanding how diet and exercise were not helping her achieve sporting goals. She is especially interested in how online communities can help each other with their goals, and fight off the dangerous onslaught of pharma-backed government policies. Suzie is a keen martial artist (something I have in common with Jackie) and has a senior brown belt in her current disciple Sooyang Do, a derivative of Taekwondo. Suzie lives in Scotland with her husband and two teenage girls and their spaniel, Scout. Initially trained in molecular biology, Suzie Edge completed her medical degree specialising in trauma and orthopedics. During her time working in the UK NHS, she became increasingly disillusioned with medicine and embarked on a career change, this time as a history focussed writer. Her focus on health, not only in her medical practice, but also for herself and how she can best achieve her health and physical activity goals lead her to low carb keto. But it wasn’t without some challenges which we discuss how reaching out for help and connecting with community has helped her overcome and fully commit to positive lifestyle changes. Suzie shares some of her morning routines, including cold water showers. Dr Suzie's Top Tips Remember to try new things - just give it a go Community - find your tribe When you get up - have a cold shower! Resources Mentioned Diet Delusion by Gary Taubes AKA Good Calories, Bad Calories - Gary Taubes https://amzn.to/37fPKhp Quotes by Dr Suzie Edge "I think that what I've done over the years, which has been the worst thing that I could have done was to say to myself, every weekend look Monday, I'm going to start again, going to go low carb, I'm going to cut out the seed oils, everything is going to be wonderful. And by Wednesday, Thursday, it's all gone a bit wrong, because well, for a lot of reasons I could probably guess. And I've raided the bread bin." "I think doing that half hearted kind of keto is probably the worst thing you can do." "I came at the end of that thinking I got to do something about this." "I reached out to an online community UK low carb and said, Look, guys, I need some help here. I'm struggling." "I can honestly say for nearly 10 years, I did that half assed start Monday, fall away by the Wednesday Thursday." "I didn't even recognise in myself that I was getting bigger, you

Dr Lucy, along with practice partner Dr Mary Barson run Real LIfe Medicine. This was the inspiration to create an online learning platform to share this information far and wide. Lucy has muscular dystrophy which impairs her mobility. In her 20’s she managed her weight with exercise. Alas, this is no longer possible. She became overweight/obese and was insulin resistant. Two years ago, she lost 20 kgs by adopting a low carb lifestyle and more importantly has maintained this. Dr Lucy is known for her positive can-do nature and is an eternal optimist. Despite this, she has experienced depression for many years, which is now in remission thanks to her lifestyle changes. She practices meditation daily (well at least second daily). Dr Lucy also speaks at conferences for doctors on weight management, as well as events for the general public, and is now considered an expert in this field. Dr Lucy is a mum to two teenage girls - say no more. Initially trained in molecular biology, Suzie Edge completed her medical degree specialising in trauma and orthopedics. During her time working in the UK NHS, she became increasingly disillusioned with medicine and embarked on a career change, this time as a history focussed writer.

Resources Mentioned Real Life Medicine Katrina Ubell https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/weight-loss-for-busy-physicians/id1199570390 Quotes by Dr Lucy Burns "I feel like my ‘Fluffy’ is asleep when I don't have sweet food, whether it's sugar or alternate sugars" "It is all about progress, not perfection." "You can’t hate yourself thin, you can’t guilt yourself into being well and you can’t shame yourself into losing weight." "It is very hard to intuitively eat processed food but if you are doing real food then it is easy." "People often think that women in bigger bodies are lazy or something and they're often the opposite. They're the most driven, organised perfectionistic people who are high achieving in every aspect of their life, except their food. And it's common."

	02 Dec 2021	065: Amy Eiges – Living Proof of Hope	01:37:46
Amy Eiges Amy Eiges is a health coach and reformed chronic dieter who is passionate about helping others recover from the diet-binge-gain-shame cycle she struggled with for years. Since discovering a ketogenic and low-carb lifestyle, she has lost 225 pounds and has both reversed pre-diabetes and resolved lifelong depression. “When I was just starting out, facing over 200 pounds to lose seemed insurmountable, and the idea I would ever be where I am now was unfathomable. Know this: I am not extraordinary. I just finally got the right advice, put one foot in front of the other and didn't look back. I know now that it can be done, but after battling this war for 40 years I had lost hope that it was really, truly possible. I am living proof that it is.” Amy considered bariatric surgery when she weighed 400lbs but felt that it wouldn’t be right for her as she was concerned she would replace her food addiction with another addiction. When she found keto it was at the right time when some of life stressors had been overcome and she could focus on herself and her health. She is sad that she got such bad advice from experts but recognises that she might not have been in the right place earlier in her life and at the same time regrets the time wasted. She is now a health coach who can give to others a chance she didn’t get so that they don’t have so much wasted time, like she did. Amy's Top Tips Hope - it is possible Are you hungry? Be aware of foods that keep you full and those foods that light up your brain Not every food experience has to be a party in your mouth Slip up? Get right back to it without judgement and shame Resources Mentioned Diet Doctor https://dietdoctor.com Dr Tro https://doctortro.com Nutrition Coalition https://www.nutritioncoalition.us Down Dog https://www.downdogapp.com Quotes by Amy Eiges "I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting I was maybe five or six, I remember tagging along with my mom. I remember the weigh in person looking at me and then looking at my mom and spelling something that started with an O. I knew even at that really young age that she was calling me fat." "It was just a lifetime of just not being able to figure it out. Constantly starting a new diet, having that kind of sort of false hope that comes with a new diet and a new plan." "The best experts and all the doctors and nutritionists and dietitians and diet programmes, just all that false hope, never really worked and it wasn’t for the lack of trying.

Dr David Unwin Dr David Unwin FRCGP works at the Norwood NHS Surgery in Southport near Liverpool, UK where he has cared for the same population since 1986 as a family doctor. To date 102 out of 201 of his patients with Type 2 diabetes have achieved drug-free remission. This gives a remission rate of 50% at 30 months duration of a lower carb diet, one of the best results for any clinic in the world. For the past few years, he has been a UK Royal College of General Practitioners expert clinical advisor on diabetes. Dr Unwin’s work has been covered by both BBC, C4 & C5 television, The New Scientist, The Times, The Daily Mail and The British Medical Journal. As @lowcarbGP he has over 62,000 followers on Twitter Southport (UK) GP, Dr David Unwin has seen a lot of changes to the health of his community over the years. The surgery has over 9500 patients, which since 1986, has seen an 8 fold increase in Type 2 Diabetes. As his patients were becoming sicker, he became increasingly frustrated that he couldn’t help them other than prescribing more medication. That was until 2013 when one of his patients decided not to follow his advice. Instead, she challenged him to look at how eating carbohydrates actually was making her sicker. Now, as the ‘Low Carb GP’ Dr Unwin advocates for the use of low carbohydrate diets for not only Type 2 Diabetes but other health conditions such as high blood pressure and fatty liver.

So to be able to just learn more about health and ancestral living and from a kind of an evolutionary perspective on creating health for us was fantastic.” “I do more of a flex keto diet, which I think is more natural because it represents how we would have evolved, sometimes being in ketosis, sometimes running on carbs.” “He hasn’t had a seizure for over 2 years” “I found a more low carb paleo approach suits me best and with lots of intermittent fasting. I’ll often be in ketosis, but I wouldn’t say I do a strict ketogenic diet, it’s more of a flex keto diet, which I think is more natural as well, because it represents how we would have evolved, sometimes being in ketosis, sometimes running on carbs.” “I think they [exogenous ketones] support the transition to a ketogenic diet when you’re first starting.” “Personally I use them maybe once a week, maybe once every two weeks.

Nicola Lock Nicola Lock was a medical secretary in the NHS for 15 years and then set up as a freelance/self employed medical transcriptionist which she has been doing for the last 17 years, mainly in the private sector. Her interest in low carb began about 6 years ago after discovering Michael Mosley’s 8 week blood sugar diet. Over the years she has made several attempts at losing weight which either failed or if she succeeded initially she then put the weight back and was back to square one. In the New Year of 2019 she threw herself into low carb in an attempt to lose weight and six months later had lost 23lbs, which she has kept off (give or take a few pounds). Although she had no initial health issues after being low carb she has noticed improvement in her skin as well as improved energy and wellbeing. Nicola has been a member of the Nutrition Network since July 2020 and has completed several of their courses including Nutrition Network Advisor, Obesity: Risks & Reversal, Ethics and Neurology.

Kev Mason Kev Mason, or KetoKev as he has become more known as, is a Ketogenic Health and Fitness Coach. After serving 13 years in the British Army and reaching a massive 131kg, he realised after leaving that something needed to be done. He discovered the Paleo Diet and from then he dropped 10kg without effort or going to the gym. Once he started losing the weight he decided to look further into health and fitness, and discovered the ketogenic diet. At first he was slightly apprehensive about high amounts of fat but decided to go for it. Nothing happened apart from gaining weight. Confused about this newfound “wonder diet” he looked deeper and deeper into how to optimize keto for the best result. Trying and failing a few times he finally nailed the right path of a higher protein and med to high fat ratio then things started to happen but Kev still had a skeleton in his closet. He still consumed alcohol and in March 2019 after being threatened with divorce he sunk to the lowest point of his life, he took charge of his life, quit drinking and applied all the knowledge he had into building a Keto group to help himself and others. He gained qualifications and diplomas in The Ketogenic Diet & Diabetes recognition and treatment, began courses in Red Light Therapy, Cold exposure, personal training and the gut brain connection. He began coaching clients and started turning lives around including his own. With a facebook group of over 15,000 people and private coaching groups he now creates content and information to help as many people as he can. Although not a qualified Chef, Kev has had formal training with Jeremy Ravenshaw-Fowler and would rather be known as a Cuisinier rather than a Chef. “We help educate people on real health” – KetoKev Who was THE ONE?

	03 Feb 2022	074: Dr Gary Fettke – Adding Diabetes Remission to Medical Vocabulary	01:32:15
Dr Gary Fettke Dr Gary Fettke M.B.,B.S.(University NSW), F.R.A.C.S.(Orthopaedic Surgery), F.A.Orth.A. Dr Gary Fettke is an Orthopaedic Surgeon and vocal proponent of nutrition being a major component of prevention and management of modern disease. In 2014, he became targeted by the processed food industry for his opinion on the perils of excessive sugar consumption, culminating in a ‘silencing’ by the Medical Board. 2018 saw a clearance of those charges with an apology from the board. In the process of that investigation, it became apparent that the issues were not just that of sugar reduction but that of the recommendation of animal-based protein and healthy fats in a balanced diet. He has a broad understanding of the vested interests shaping dietary guidelines. Who was THE ONE?

Mark Felstead My Name is Mark Felstead, 59 Years Old and until 3 years ago I was a very fit triathlete, often taking part in competitions and thinking I was doing everything right for my body and my health. For most of my adult life I have exercised and trained regularly, I ate what I thought was a healthy diet, I watched my weight, and I did not smoke… Things were all to change very suddenly on a Wednesday Evening in August 2018… I left my home with my racing bike to compete in a local duathlon. I kissed my wife and my daughter goodbye, not knowing it was very nearly the last time I would see them… 2hrs later, as I was nearing the finish line, I collapsed…. Sudden Cardiac Arrest, a so-called Widow Maker. Clinically dead on the spot. Luckily (oh so luckily!!) two of my fellow competitors were very quick to act and kept me alive (CPR) until the emergency services arrived (they were also Doctors who helped!!). I woke up 10 days later out of an induced coma… but that is a story for another time. Who was THE ONE?

	17 Mar 2022	080: Lisa Bailey – [Replay] From Vegetarian To Carnivore	01:12:16
Lisa Bailey Lisa is a 52 year old who hails originally from Bournemouth, in the south of England. She is a qualified Personal Trainer, with special certifications in Kettlebell training, HIIT training and Cardio Kickboxing, plus she is also a qualified Naturopathic Nutritionist and Primal Health Coach. Years of various illnesses relating to gut health led Lisa to investigate her dietary patterns and, after qualifying as a nutritionist, more research took her on a journey from vegetarian to carnivore with the result of alleviation of all her symptoms. After suffering an injury to her back many years ago, she turned to strength training to heal her own body, and believes that exercise is an important part of the overall lifestyle and achieving optimal health. Lisa got into low carb/keto for health reasons. She had been a vegetarian for 27 years, fortunately she ate eggs. She thought she was doing it for health reasons and environmental reasons. Lisa suffered with IBS symptoms. After training as a personal trainer and nutritionist, she read a lot, which led her to paleo, thinking she had an issue with gluten. She ate paleo as a vegetarian and was constantly tired. With more research she felt she had to add some meat and fish back into her diet. This wasn’t an easy decision having been a vegetarian for 27 years. Within 3 weeks her smell and taste came back. Lisa eats nose to tail and her health has never been better. Lisa believes if you are going to kill an animal then you should make use of the whole animal, plus different parts of the animal have different nutrients.

Dr Ian Lake Dr. Ian Lake is a GP in Gloucestershire. He has had a long term interest in preventive medicine. Having Type 1 Diabetes himself, he eventually discovered and was strongly influenced by the book ‘Richard Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution’. He went on a very low carb diet five years ago which he feels has positively transformed his daily diabetes control to near non diabetes levels. He is planning to launch a website to provide information and education about keto diets in type 1 diabetes. He is also a founder member of the Public Health Collaboration, which is a charity dedicated to promoting a real food lifestyle. Dr Ian explains how Type 1 Diabetes is managed in the UK and how he thinks that there should be alternative options. He recognises that keto doesn’t suit everyone but feels it should be an option for everyone. We find out how he discovered keto and his long journey to start. Listen to how it has improved his quality of life, given him less worries and more control over his blood sugar.

How little I knew then.” “The recommendation for carbohydrates is 300 gms of carbohydrates a day roughly for everyone in our country and that is actually based on no science whatsoever.” “It is so lucky that carbohydrate is the only nutrient that is non-essential, every other nutrient the fat and protein are essential. We have to have certain fats and certain proteins to exist healthily but if we never ate another carbohydrate for the rest of our lives it wouldn’t materially affect our health.” “We really need to rethink T1 Diabetes management if 9 out of 10 people not achieving targets is acceptable.” “Life is so much more pleasurable, my blood glucose level goes from alpine to flatline. It used to be up down, up down, now it is pretty flat all day. I don’t have to think too much about my diabetes.” “It’s remarkable how freeing a low ca

Graham Phillips Graham Phillips BPharm FRPharmS is a second generation community pharmacist. He describes himself as “The Pharmacist who Gave Up Drugs!” Having played a very senior leadership role in the pharmacy profession he became disillusioned with the NHS one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare with its emphasis on waiting for symptoms to arise before treating (suppressing?) them with drugs. He pioneered a new approach using his scientific knowledge, clinical expertise and new technology which resulted in the ProLongevity service. The ProLongevity programme helps people who want to lose weight, improve wellbeing and avoid/reverse diabetes, by using new technology to monitor real-time blood sugar levels. We provide personalised advice based on your data to help you make changes to your diet and lifestyle. We avoid traditional approaches that treat symptoms after the damage has been done. Prevention is better than cure. Graham has two sons, one is also a pharmacist and the other a corporate lawyer. He lives with his partner, Karen (a GP also passionate about lifestyle medicine) in North London. Like Jackie, Graham is also an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration. He believes that the world has become dominated by Big Food on the one hand (makes you sick) and Big Pharma on the other (makes you 10% better). In the end science must prevail.

Michelle Hurn Michelle Hurn RD LD, Ultra Runner, Author of The Dietitian’s Dilemma Michelle Hurn is a registered and licensed dietitian with eleven years of experience as a clinical, acute care dietitian, lead dietitian in psychiatric care, and outpatient dietitian. While practising inpatient and outpatient care in the hospital setting, Michelle discovered a disheartening connection between the high carbohydrate, low fat, “sugar in moderation,” nutrition guidelines she was required to teach, and the rapidly declining health of her patients. Michelle is an endurance athlete, and she has competed in 12 marathons. In 2019, Michelle decided to follow a LCHF, high animal protein diet to see if it would alleviate severe muscle pain she was experiencing. Not only was her muscle pain gone in a matter of weeks, her decades of anxiety began to fade. Michelle is the author of the book, “The Dietitian’s Dilemma,” detailing how the current nutrition guidelines came into existence and advocating a low carbohydrate, animal-based way of eating as an option for individuals struggling with diabetes, mental disorders, eating disorders, sarcopenia, and heart disease. Michelle won her first Ultra Marathon covering 44.63 miles in a 6-hour time frame. Michelle also won the Tunnel Hill 50 mile race clocking 7.03.01 in 2021.

	27 Apr 2022	085: David Baum – Man in a Tutu	01:13:57
David Baum I am a 64 year old man from Bushey in Hertfordshire. I have been married to my best friend Melanie for 38 years. We have two sons Philip & Oliver and an amazing daughter in law called Kirsty, who is the mother of our beautiful granddaughter Chloe. I grew up in a typical North West London Jewish household where food was often used as a bargaining chip. Generally eat up and you’ll get a treat (when a young child) and then told to eat up as there are starving children who will be very happy to eat anything. At 9 it was discovered I was overweight and was sent to the dietician at The Royal Free who put me on a 1,600 calorie a day diet and so started my YoYo life as a dieter. Until I was in my mid 40’s I would gain and then lose weight trying all types of diets including Slim Fast & Herbal Life, all worked well but the moment I stopped any weight I lost went back on, mind you, it didn’t help that I enjoyed cake and chocolates. I did enjoy playing badminton and cycling. Around this time I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, caused in part by the Slimfast/Herbal Life diets. Eventually I knew things had to change as I was “eating” the so called healthy diet of 5 a day plus all the “required” wheat and rice etc. I was fortunate to be introduced to Professor Brostoff, a leading immunologist who recommended I stop following the recognised “healthy” diet as it wasn’t healthy for me and introduced me to the Dukan diet, which was a revelation. I found by becoming gluten free and on a relatively low carb diet my weight improved as did my blood sugars and cholesterol. However, as with all lifestyle changes after a while I started to introduce other “Gluten Free” foods which meant my weight went up as I had no idea of the hidden carbs. Life continued until one magical day I was introduced to a keto lifestyle and it was like a light bulb went off in my head. These days I am able to keep up an intense level of exercise including running 10k’s, 10 milers, half marathons and in October a full marathon. I find that by following a keto lifestyle I never feel hungry and the selection of foods available is now first class. The fact that I can do the level of exercise means that I can be featured most days on/in our daily social media posts for The Move For Wellness. David’s Top Tips Avoid Processed Food Enjoy a low carb/keto lifestyle Laugh – every day find a reason to laugh Go for a walk in nature Resources Mentioned Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Quotes by David Baum “Sixty is one of these magic ages where you can suddenly switch into Type 2 Diabetes.” “I don’t want to be 85 and a burden or worry to my grandaughter.” “The envelope I am in is borrowed but when I get evicted, I get evicted.” “I am now know as The Man in a Tutu.” “We can only control, what we can control.” Connect with David Baum on social media Twitter: https://twitter.com/MoveWellness21 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/847640769414093 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moveforwellness21/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbaummfw/ YouTube: https://www.youtu

Maia Sutherland Maia Sutherland has treated people’s health through acupuncture and massage for nearly thirty years. A child of ‘hippy’ parents from a ‘hippy’ town, she grew up firmly entrenched in the belief system that fruits and vegetables are superfoods and animal products are bad. After enough of a lifetime getting sicker and fatter, she discovered the transformative world of ketosis. This journey over the last three years, has changed much of her ‘belief’ replacing it with a quantifiable understanding of what helps a human animal to be more optimised. So enthused by these revelations, she is in the process of writing a book, hoping to inspire others, anywhere in the world on any budget and education, to simply and enjoyably reverse their own disease process, using the power of low carbohydrate feasting and fasting.

You are in ketosis.” “Everything is better when I’m keto or fasting. Everything is worse when I’m low carb, except I feel a bit more emotionally comforted me by my choices.” Connect with Maia Sutherland on social media Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/Contactmaia Or you can submit a message via our contact page and we will forward it to Maia If you have enjoyed listening to this episode – Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.
