How sad that we patients must educate our doctors, most of whom are uninterested

Dr. Kenneth Berry has started the new American Diabetes Society to rival the corporate funded medical industry ADA. The low carb dietary approach is working and surpassing the medicine standard that is killing us.

@pauletteschiowitz8989 4 месяца назад

Just told a first time dietitian about the Ada and how they’re owned by the food companies, she rolled her eyes. She showed me their food chart and I Almost laughed out loud. Tomatoes, potatoes, rice, grains , basically everything bad that we’ve been told not to eat. I am way too underweight but feel pretty good. I definitely don’t want to lose more but want to gain.

@eclexian 4 месяца назад

The pressures on medical professionals to just dole out pills (and more and more these days, syringes) are enormous. I’m sure it takes a great deal of conviction and conscience to swim against that extremely strong tide. Simply, not all are cut out for it. It’s much easier (and safer for their careers) to just parrot back what they’ve been taught, like “being in ketosis damages your kidneys.” It’s not true; has never been actually observed, but it gives them an out to not buck the system, so they tend to embrace it to just get rid of the “problem” of their conscience telling them they’re not doing right by their patients.

Overall I think the Internet has benefited patients. It allows leaders like Dr. Unwin and Dr. Westman to explain their views. BTW I was diagnosed with essential hypertension decades ago. When I decided to try a low-carb diet I did not expect to be freed from the medications because I had the idea that only obese patients would get that benefit although I was overweight as the diagnosis of essential hypertension clouded the issue. I am now medication-free. Despite this, my physician continues to urge me to avoid salt. I am ignoring that advice as it is an essential electrolyte. Low carb (keto) is wonderful. So are physicians like you who listen to patients.

@jobrown8146 4 месяца назад

"Overall I think the Internet has benefited patients." I'm very thankful for the information available online. When I was diagnosed with diabetes in Oct 2021 I started researching diets for diabetes and up popped things about low carb. After watching some videos and reading comments I decided to try it and it worked. I'm now down to my mid 1980s weight before children, and am metabolically healthy, and off BP drug too. Dr Unwin was one of the first videos I found.

@sharfalor4244 4 месяца назад

I was happy to have an appointment with Dr Unwin a few weeks ago. I had TWO GP'S from his same practice write off my concerns about the fact that I potentially had an insulin problem because my a1c wasn't quite at pre diabetic level. They weren't interested in the 2yrs of BGM readings I had tracked with my weight loss, one actively told me my BGM wasn't calibrated so wouldn't be correct anyway. When I saw Dr Unwin to discuss my last bloods my 3mthly BGM readings matched exactly the hba1c test. 😂 The problem, when I dug down, is that primary care GP's in the UK dont even have access to fasting insulin tests (I had requested that). So, you have to reach pre diabetes or worse prior to taking action, unless you accidentally come across this information and take action yourself. What a messed up system!

Since really getting serious, lost 12 lbs, my BP is now ~~ 105 over 55-60. Is that too low of BP?

He also told me being in ketosis is not healthy. 😳 my GP has obviously not seen the module of Dr Unwins. I must ask this as no one seems to be able to answer. Being in ketosis has increased my A1c from 36 to 37. I have a theory that because I eat lots of red meat my haemoglobin has risen considerably and is able to affect the A1c reading. Thoughts anyone?

I keep hearing that the human circulation has about one teaspoon of "SUGAR" in it for a healthy person. Since a teaspoon of table sugar (i.e. 4 grams of sucrose) is 50% glucose and 50% fructose, then does that mean that the usual human blood volume has about 2 GRAMS (i.e. HALF a teaspoon, NOT a full teaspoon) of glucose floating around in it for a healthy person?

@ekondigg6751 4 месяца назад

@@JMK-vo8pv You would be correct if we're talking simply about physical teaspoons. But the teaspoon equivalents in Dr Unwin's charts are based on the glycaemic load of different foods (if you're not familiar with the concept of glycaemic load, I suggest looking it up). Fructose does not contribute to the glycaemic load, only the glucose component in sugar does.

Post stroke, heart attack, has high blood pressure, diabetes and who knows what else, on metformin, statins, ozympic, and many other meds. He refuses to listen to me, is content to take the meds so he can eat what he likes. I stopped going to the doctor with him. Same with my daughter, horrible bowel issues, probably IBS, serrated polyp syndrome with 28 polyps removed last time, on and on. Change her diet? No way.

Went through a similar experience with my doctor. Liver enzymes, A1C and blood pressure were high. Doctor suggested meds to resolve problems. Did not discuss I was at least 100 pounds overweight. That was 13 months ago and now I weigh 187 pounds using a simple low carb diet. All blood test results are normal and the only comment from the doctor was my A1C was responsive to diet.

They don't like it when they can't treat us with their meds

Even if they did mention that we are overweight they don't have a solution that is doable; ie without making us miserable and hungry and having to be very disciplined. I went low carb to remit my diabetes and in the process went from 80kg down to 60kg without even trying. I now weigh what I did mid 1980s before having children. Low carb helps a huge amount with the cravings and the protein and fat keep me full for a long time.

The interview was fascinating and features two remarkable doctors. I am so grateful for Dr. Westman and his fellow doctors showing us the way back to good health.

Thank you, Dr Westman and Dr Unwin! Always a pleasure (and an education) to hear from Dr Unwin. And shout out to his missus, Dr Jen Unwin, Clinical Psychologist and author of *Fork in the Road* which is about carb addiction.

Omg, is Dr. W a Trekkie? ❤ And 64? Holy cow! I’m 11 years younger and look older than him. Uggh… if I stay low carb/keto long enough, will I look as young as Dr. Westman in 11 years? 😮 I love and admire a doctor who can admit that he/she is wrong and actually listen to their patients. Influencing a doctor…wow! Great guest! ❤

Your doctor should be pushing - Exercise, Sleep, getting Happy in life (change jobs, change spouse, change living location,...), and correct diet. These are first and foremost. Then medications as required. Unfortunately most people Refuse to change their diet. Most will Refuse to exercise and get happy.

Doctors today are told what to do and how to do it. 95% or more rarely think in any logical way. Thus it is up to yhe individual to educate themselves, beat their addiction, and heal themselves before it is too late for them. Complaining does not heal you.

Thank you, Dr Westman, for sharing with us the privilege of being in a conversation with this wonderful human being. It was especially good that, in your interview, you encouraged Dr Unwin to tell us about his superb work beyond reversing innumerable peoples' diabetes through low carb diet. This was new information for me, despite having read/heard many mentions and much praise of Dr Unwin's work in the relevant literature and Internet media.

Unfortunately its the rare doctor who can swallow his/her ego and view the patient as an equal. I had a student doctor tell me once "we see these fad diets come and go all the time". I asked her who is this 'we' seeing as she had only just graduated?? Plus a lot of the information i was trying to share with her was also given credence by other medical specialists with a lot more experience than my condescending GP at the time. Doctors dont like being educated by their patients and it is very true that big pharma give GP's commission for prescribing their medicines and big pharm have a huge influence on what student doctors are taught at university. I used to hold doctors in high regard but these days i view them as close minded arrogant idiots with many putting their bank balance in front of genuine care for their patients. System is corrupt and arrogant.

I could never remember what ketovore was. Then i realized one day "oh that's my theoretical diet in college when i was calling it Nomadic Eating. Mostly meat with occasional vegg" My theory was if you were following animals around large areas the chances of you finding veggies consistently 1,000 years ago every day is probably not realistic.
