Dr. David Unwin & Dr. Jen Unwin - 'Behaviour Change 'In a nutshell' & Picking our low carb battles'

[@H00P0N0P0N0]

How can someone give a thumbs down! 😱 Here's a doctor who turned the lives around of many many of his patients because he has an open mind, is willing to learn and is able to openly admit he was wrong. That is quite rare these days. And all that is accompanied with a lot of creativity in bringing his message across to his patients in a comprehensive way. And he does it with respect and empathy for everyone involved. And not only that but he also makes a great effort to enlighten other doctors and healthcare workers so they can do the same. I have só much respect for David Unwin! I think he's the bee's knees. Thanks Doc

As a nurse who works with diabetic and depressed patients, this was a wonderful presentation! I took notes! Thank you!

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

Is "diadepression" a thing?

[@jennifernapier1976]

This is not new news, this is something Dr's and nurses should've been promoting for years, Dr atkins spring to mind? Our Dr's and nurses are years behind on their knowledge of nutrition.

[@annfraley7083]

I was hoping they would do a demonstration.

[@annfraley7083]

Back in the 70s, my mom went to an osteopath who put her on low carb even though there was no name for it. He was a grouchy old guy and he explained the science and gave her a food list and told her that it wasn’t going to affect him whether she followed it or not. If she wanted to get better, she would do it for herself. She was a rare patient who only needed a plan, and off she went. She did great until a busy body in-law who told her that all that protein would give her cancer. So, of course she put it all back on. Why do we do this to ourselves?

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

Their relationship is beautiful, admiration and humility ❤️ 🥼

[@dkearsley]

This is excellent and a sign that things are changing for the better under the NHS. I am over 3 years in since my diagnosis as T2 diabetic when my HbA1C result went from 49 to 44 using 'healthy Mediterranean diet'. Then I got a glucose meter and found out what actually raised my blood sugars - starches as David points out are a definite no - also there are worse things out there for a diabetic than 'sugar'. I will never again eat products with glucose/ fructose syrup even small amounts - sends my blood sugars soaring. So did 'real ale', now replaced with red wine. Then I went LCHF and for the last 3 years my HbA1C results has been a consistent 37/38. I have been on and off high blood pressure medication for 10 years previous - no longer required! My trigs are now excellent. No drugs for any of the problems I had - even the anxiety I had is no longer significant. My doctor just tells me to keep up the good work. Regarding my weight - I have lost and kept off 3 stone!

[@carolashlee8002]

25 years ago I was diagnosed with insulin resistance, but doctors pretty much fobbed me off. It was then cholesterol then fatty liver Along with auto immune & inflammatory Bowel disease, I have become my own dr by listening to these talks by open minded doctors & people like myself. Keto and now carnivore style is my way of eating. Fats & proteins is what I eat = Liver improved Cholesterol lowered Asthma gone Ulcer colitis improved

[@shereemoon]

This does bring me such hope. Appreciate the humility, courage, vision of this couple!

[@gaylalor5880]

My husband WAS Type 2 but following the LCHF diet, he is no longer diabtetic. He has been free of it for over 4 years now. His GP is impressed with what we have done to turn it around. Also off BP meds. There are over 50 types of 'sugars' and we have none of them EVER. I cook everything we eat !!!!

[@samuelreiter6412]

You’re a great wife.

[@MrsTabby1963]

Carb addiction is real. Those who deny this, do not understand or have an agenda. I gave up all sugar, starches, grains almost 4 years ago and have had nothing but a return to great health, physical, mental and dental too. In fact I have had no need to visit my GP since starting keto as such good health now. My six monthly dental check ups have ALL been perfect, no work needed at all. Amazing. Is eating cake, sweets, bread or rice worth it? No chance. I chose life and health.

[@WH-hi5ew]

Did you get Keto-flu? I tried lowering carbs and felt terrible pas a certain point... I think it hits some people worse than others.

[@jimbeaver27]

@@WH-hi5ew I never had keto flu, you just need to have lots of electrolytes and minerals. If you do get it, hang in because it is worth it to get to the other side where your liver starts to heal, etc.

[@DoctorJammer]

@@WH-hi5ew There are ways to ameliorate and prevent keto flu. It mostly comes down to electrolytes and vitamins.

[@ActivateMission2ThisTimeline]

@@WH-hi5ew You are addicted. You have to move slow! First cut out sugar sodas, then bread, then pasta, starchy vegetables, seed oils, while increasing low carb veggies, meats, animal fats. You have to eat high protein so your kidneys will hold onto the electrolytes. This should happen over many weeks or even months. Good luck with your addiction, I kicked my sugar and carbs to the curb!

Thank you, Dr. Unwin! You have been a true pioneer in medicine and the results you are getting say it all. We need more Dr. Unwins!

[@alireid5874]

What a lovely talk! Best wishes to the Unwin's. I sent this to my dad to help his pediatric patients and families!

[@theenthuzed1]

This is amazingly helpful for even us (non-certified in any way) folks who have benefited on a LCHF diet in ways we can prove to others AND NOW wish to be equipped to help our family, friends, etc. Perhaps with great info you provide and thoughtful ways to communicate, some could even start a support group in our communities. So this is a message for all. THANK YOU!! So appreciate your hearts and passion to be a teacher, model and wonderful doctor to your most fortunate patients. A physician’s physician you are! Thanks again and keep up the fantastic work!

[@alexakalennon]

1 year into keto, and yes carb addiction it is. But I m learning. Great presentation

[@Paul-010]

A recent visit to see my diabetes nurse I mentioned HFLC to her, she just gave me a blank stare, I really wasn’t sure if she knew what talking about or did not approve of it. However, I’ve just started on a ketogenic diet and have been on it for 5 days, and intend to continue with it.

[@begraced3339]

What a wonderful talk! Thank you so much, Dr. and Dr. Unwin!

[@belindabradbury4475]

The wisdom garnered from years of practice shines out and inspires. Thank you.

[@naturescaresshandmadesoaps4723]

Thank you soo much for your amazing dedication to this cause. Hopefully more GP’s in Australia will catch on. Low carb. has normalised my LFT’s and reversed my Hypertension, but had to do it without GP support. Diabetes Australia still promoting the starch laden diet. Debbie from Oz.

[@Ko1234567890S]

I love that they ask the patient for a weight where they felt good rather than going by the BMI - for lots of us who have been overweight or obese for a long time, we have no frame of reference for "normal" on the BMI

[@pn5721]

Starting at 10:48, the Unwins describe how they are going to demonstrate (role play) bad v. good patient interaction. *They first role play the typical consult* (i.e. THE *BAD APPROACH* WHICH DR. UNWIN USED TO USE) Starts at 11:34, ends at 14:18 ("That's Mrs. Jones, 'sorted out.' Thoroughly depressed.") "Let's do Mrs. Jones again." *GOOD APPROACH* Starts at 14:26

[@philipkim580]

Bob Brigs made a video called "Remembering the future ." where he talked to himself as if he was remembering , looking back to when he used to be over weight and how he lost the weight, and can now move about easily. Then his life went on to fulfill those hopes. He listened to that recording frequently to encourage himself.

I thought I was a carb addict but I can have a half a piece of toast with breakfast to wipe the egg off my plate. I do not eat any other carbs. I used to be a sugar addict, sure I liked bread, potatoes, and pasta but not like I loved sugar. I am almost at my weight goal and I do hope to include some of my favorite foods from time to time, like spaghetti, although I will likely have a small amount of noodles from now on.
