Dr David Unwin never hurries. He invites patients to imagine better health and how it might improve other parts of their lives. "You said you want to lose weight. Describe how that might make your life different in a day to day kind of way." He offers calm, patient, support for patients to achieve things that matter to them, that make their lives better. He gives them meaningful, constructive feedback in the form of simple graphs, always emphasizing the opportunities that the latest results offer - regardless of whether the graph goes in the desired direction because even "failure" teaches both the physician and the patient something valuable about the connections between what a patient has been doing and how the results change over time. The ups and downs on the graphs also teach the practitioner things,. "Has my messaging been effective? Am I confusing or frustrating the patient? Have I helped this patient feel as though I am genuinely interested in their success and that they can truly reach their own goals?" Critically, he sees his patients successes and failures as a reflection of his own efforts. What seems to be working? What might I do better? What a great teacher.
Dear Doctor Unwin, Thank you for your video. I have been looking for information from a british doctor for months now. I have begun a Low Carb lifestyle after putting on weight, post redundancy (and early retirement). The main benefit for me, apart from the 20lb weight loss has been the fact that I didn't get hayfever this year. I also no longer have an alergy to next door's cat. I have been watching Dr Eric Berg and Dr Berry and have been trying to get friends and family to watch these vids. However, the american accent seems to put them off and I am delighted that a northern doctor is now shining light on the health benefits of taking sugar and carbs out of the diet. For me it has been a "lightbulb moment" but I can't seem to influence the other folks in my life of the benefits; they think I'm on a fad-diet and that I'm becoming a fad diet bore. I will now try to get them to watch you; they will trust your word as a medically trained doctor and my brother is a pharmacist who worked for a time in Kirkby. Thanks again!
We understand your frustration Wendy! It's not always an easy task to explain to people the benefits of changing up their eating habits and lifestyles. We highly recommend you subscribe to our new podcast series which features some of the foremost health professionals explaining the benefits of dietary changes. This may be a great way to get your resistant family members and friends to understand the science more clearly: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_8kz8-7BJnk.html
Wendy, It might be an idea to start talking about it as a way of life instead of a diet because that's what it is. The longer you live this way the more you will love it. Your friend and family will see the diference in you. Just give it the chance.
Great Interview with Dr David Unwin, he is refreshingly open and honest, not afraid to admit he was wrong in his earlier years but has seen the light! You definitely deserve more subscribers!! Anyway I have subscribed and am going through some of your library of videos...Thanks
He really does. We invited Dr Unwin back to join us for our new podcast series, highly recommended: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YWB-RmYYHoE.html
You know, I live in Australia and I haven't even seen anyone smoking in nearly twenty years. It's simply not done here. It's not allowed anywhere in public so no one smokes.
An amazing interview however, I can’t remember the last time I saw my Gp, we have a nurse practitioner front line run surgery and they don’t even read medical records. I was diagnosed, given a booklet and sent on my way.
Wonderful session covering everything our patients need to know, and in simple terms. Would just like the track to be remixed with the music, if it has to be used, cut back by at least half. Thank you!
Dr David Unwin is a wealth of knowledge. Make sure you subscribe to our new podcast series Fat and Furious as David Unwin will be featuring on episode 5 which premieres Sunday February 16th: ru-vid.com/group/PLVZd8-XtL-NDllldfYXWp6bL0mDm27Ohz
Stability usually comes with less speed, how is your observation. I don't have stability issues with my v2, so not going to upgrade when v3 comes with less speed
