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]

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.

I also stopped taking some other medication I had. I’m feeling better than ever. I had been suffering from IBS, colitis, etc. for over four years and the doctors did nothing to help me. They were actually the reason I kept getting sicker and also getting opportunistic infections. Debated whether or not I should tell the doctor the truth about how I feel about everything but I’m doing so well and I don’t need any negativity or stress in my life right now so I canceled the appointment. I will go to doctor if I have a major accident or life-threatening situation. That’s the only reason. It’s really evil with the medical profession has done to society.

By normal keto I mean 70/30 fat:protein ratio, and epilepsy is usually at least 85:15. I have bipolar and have heard that I should do epilepsy keto instead because our conditions are similar and may need more fat.

[@makaisenki]

​@@SparklySarahI mean really all you can do is just be on keto, aim for sufficient protein, and keep dialing up the fats until you are fine. Though I would recommend just adding a little bit of MCT to everything. Like goat and sheep dairy such as cheese, MCT oil. If you can get like MCT pills and take 1 every hour or 2 might help, and sardines and other really healthy fish should also help, but all you can do is experiment yourself, whether they respond to you or not.

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]

"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.

[@1wascallywabbit]

Thank you Dr Unwin, I have downloaded your materials. I have opened the zip file, and taken a look. The information, and time taken, to compile this information...then putting it into a visual graphic that is so easy to read and understand (to the average person/patient) is GREATLY appreciated! I plan to share this with my diabetic nurse, whom I think will find this extremely useful in sharing with her patients. (Unfortunately, I don't think my primary care APRN will give it much consideration...she is fairly newly graduated, definitely closed minded, opinionated, and has been thoroughly indoctrinated into big pharma and that way of belief....I have literally had to school her on a medication that she tried to push on me that was completely counter-intuitive, with known and documented side effects, that would have exacerbated one of my conditions and diagnosis....setting me up for not only adverse health issues, but virtually a dangerous and potentially deadly outcome

[@sharfalor4244]

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!

[@sarahcronshaw3088]

This pod cast really moved me! I love listening to Dr Westman but today it was so lovely to hear another caring Do for who not only listened to his patient and saw the amazing benefit also gave up his time with his amazing Wife to help others free of charge. It must have given you great gratitude to see for your self the importance of diet as in what you eat. I’ve struggled for years and found UTube had helped me considerably. I now question Doctirs who said my bloods are acceptable for this patient!! If I hadn’t I wouldn’t have known I have an under active thyroid and low Iron. I’m not under medication but managing my symptoms naturally and honestly diet works along with supplements. Lifting weights too. It’s so nice to hear you have bought land to nurture nature and look after the animals you have. Anyone listening to this remember you are not ALONE.

Great interview! I am very familiar with the medical profession and their closed mindedness. I worked in 4 different kinds of hospitals and worked with many doctors and nurses. Some have been close friends. When I started a low card diet in 2011 they were not impressed. And they do not want to know anything about it. I suspect that all the money they spent on their education in the medical standard of care, they don't want to know that maybe what they were taught just might be wrong. I am very impressed with this UK doc for foraging ahead with his new knowledge no matter how he was humiliated.

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.

[@Lucky-ws3hx]

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

[@jobrown8146]

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.

Now due to complications after rectal cancer surgery (low anterior resection syndrome) most days I am carnivore, or a bit ketovore, but no lettuce, hardly any veg. My husband infuriates me. 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. I get so frustrated, and it can be difficult to live with all this food I can't eat around me. My husband even goes through a pound of sugar in about a week and a half.

I had atrial fibrillation about two years ago. Luckily I managed to cure it even though it was non-proximal with intermittent fasting and a low carb, very low sugar diet. I now always do 17 to 19 hours a day fasting. It has improved everything, and I wish I discovered this many years back. I now have the energy of when I was in my 20's and although I am quite a slim build, I've managed to put on a moderate amount of muscle, which I think is due to growth hormone release when you are fasting for a longer fast. For me it dropped my inflammation like a stone, and took roughly 9 months to really see serious improvements.

She said I was eating too much protein via meat and not enough complex carbs like dairy, grains, some veggies which previously was told not to eat like potatoes, etc.

Very informative video. Shared the video and Dr Unwin's charts on my FB page

Thank you gentlemen. My soul is easier knowing you are doing what you're doing. I was getting really shook by all the drama and goofy "bro-science". I'm nobody, but I know dead soil when I see it and smell it.

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.

My Dr does not even want to hear anything I say… but he does not argue with my Results… Says what ever your doing keep doing it and walks out of the room.. I’m thinking about switching my Dr…

Daily Mail is doing a great service promoting the proper human diet.

Great show. I particularly like how Dr. Unwin tied in ethically grown meat that feeds back to healthier land. Talk about a virtuous circle. In the US we need to unlock the power of small farmers. To do that we need more USDA inspected processing facilities, which big food doesn't want.

Dr Westman you’re a great investigative reporter of sorts. Asking the Qs us out here have. I was hoping you’d ask if he ever all the way even consider looking into why treatment hasn’t been working the last 59 years.

And if Unwin would have opened the free after hours clinic if he saw the lite 20 years earlier
