Dr. Louise Phillips - 'Helping GPs to prescribe low carb'

[@TomSmith-cv8hk]

"the good thing about this is that most patients know what carbs are because we've been telling them to eat them for decades" 😀

[@Rainb0wSeven]

I'm not so sure. I've talked to a lot of people about this topic and they think "carbs" = "refined sugar", then tell me about how great their diet is because they eat brown rice instead of white rice, and wholemeal bread instead of white bread...and they're still obese and diabetic.

[@RedPilled100]

Maybe just simply put ~ the Food pyramid upside down but with several omissions/substitutions

[@magsrankin6166]

😆 Sadly, yes!

[@wandayonder9772]

@@Rainb0wSeven I agree. Most carb aware people I know believe that complex carbs are fine to eat in large amounts because they digest more slowly. Dieticians spread this misinformation and it's still excessive carb/sugar eating. And they're adding high oxalate foods with the grain hulls which cause other health problems.

FINALLY! A GP/ETC who understands the no.1 issue is metabolic health. After being "frustrated " with the Health Care system, I decided to educate myself properly about insulin resistance and the benefits of low carb nutritional plan. In 7 months, I lost 23 pounds and got back my "energy" and lessened and sometimes eliminated numerous health problems. Certainly will keep this lecture and sincerely hope the Medical practitioners will take heed. Thank you for this video today 💜

While I recently received excellent post-operative care from the nurses in my local hospital I mentioned my low carb, no sugar, no grains, no processed foods (protein, salad /vegetables only) I was served Corn Flakes , Bread Roll & Jam for breakfast & Pasta Bake for dinner. I politely declined and responded that I would continue fasting. The hospital system has a loooong way to go before they catch up.

[@wandayonder9772]

Your records recorded by nurses probably showed that you had no appetite. They needed to show you were offered high carb junk food and refused it... and you were starving hungry for real food.

[@jennifermarlow.]

About 2 years ago, I told my doctor about intermittent fasting and low carb. I provided him with links to Drs. Jason Fung and Pradip Jamnadas. He and his family went low carb and IF, and he thanked me. He's a humble man. One BIG problem in Canada is protocols. If you want to keep your license, you MUST follow protocols established by the College of Physicians & Surgeons. A doctor can't just prescribe what s/he wants anymore. That all changed with "Emergency use" of the jab, and the things that must be suppressed so that allopathy can keep raking in the bucks with our sick care system.

Good to hear this as a Dietician from neighboring Fiji 🇫🇯🙂

[@CynCopeland-TheAnswerIsMeat]

Phenomenal presentation! The 'how to teach' section popped - as an educator/coach/trainer of adults, this is one of the most relevant aspects of communicating information which will be clearly understood and stands the best chance of helping the individual help themselves. I have recently joined the AMHS team and encourage other practitioners to do the same. Great references / sources cited. ❤❤❤❤

[@pedrolavigne9718]

In my neck of the woods, there are big screens in the GPs clinics waiting room showing in loop public health advice on the current low fat high carb food guide. It would be somewhat awkward to say the least for a GP to provide contradictory advice in an adjacent exam room.

[@gavinsymes-wizardot]

Pretty standard across the board. Always disappointing.

[@homomorphic]

I "have* a 5th grade understanding of health? Me, the patient? I have to explain to my doctor what stereoisomers are and that allulose is the enantiomer of fructose and that (like thalidomide) one of the stereoisomers of C6H12O6 is a toxin (fructose) and the other is harmless (allulose). If I am at a 5th grade level, the GP must have a kindergarten level understanding.

[@marilynroper5739]

It would be wonderful if this was a mandatory course in med schools!

[@cassieoz1702]

Excellent practical presentation for the real world. Tough to find supportive resources in rural areas, so apps, websites and books will be extremely helpful. I'd add endocrinologists to the 'derailed' list

[@juliestapleton589]

We would all love to have a GP like you. Sadly, arrogance, matched by ignorance is the norm.

[@gavinsymes-wizardot]

🙁

[@Terrierized]

Gees Louise! Rocking the boat now. Thanks for caring about people, not pharma

[@thedailyremedy968]

Great presentation-love the priority being to simplify the information, engage the patient with questions and the effectiveness of retraining Doctors because for many people the Doctor is perceived as knowing what is best. How 4 minutes of engagement can change someone’s life trajectory if they follow through taking care of themselves. I imagine it must be interesting navigating standard guidelines, recommendations versus information backed by science that may go against the accepted guidelines! What a challenge when Doctors have only minutes to assist with diet. I was thinking how important protein/fat uptake is and that is a journey in itself because we have been taught to eat lean meat and in general that red meat is bad for you. The real world affect of remaining low animal protein (because of high carb, and plant based recommendations) and in particular low animal fat to the degree we have taught (less essential nutrients) is then a necessary proclivity to increase, crave for more sugar and carbs. This could be in play and even stimulated if a person decrease their carbs without sufficiently also increasing their protein and animal fat intake.

[@lana1065]

Now... how do we break big pharma's stronghold on medical schools' curricula so that doctors are actually taught these fundamentals as an integral part of their education? If doctors themselves still believe carbs are essential and it's necessary to eat multiple times a day, than there's hardly a point in teaching them how to educate patients. Educate the doctors FIRST, and do so at med school

[@gavinsymes-wizardot]

Amen!

[@24bellers20]

Excellent lecture. I’ve tried to get my GP involved but I was told it’s not healthy. He asked about exercise and I told him I hike 25 miles once a week and walk 5 miles most days. He said that’s ridiculous and only migrating animals should walk that far. What he should have said was that it’s excellent for someone who is almost 70 and that he should look into how that works. I pointed him to Dr Unwin and Ben Bikman. That was 25 months ago. I did try.

[@k9rescuer934]

Love your videos….thank you ❤

[@absolootely2571]

My spouse & I live in Sydney. We need to find a GP who is sympathetic to a keto/carny regime. Where can I go to find a list of friendly GPs?

[@nicktheodorou3474]

GP’s have been pushing whole foods for forever and in general this by default ends up being low carb in many cases. I don’t know a single GP that hasn’t advise patients to prioritise vegetables, meat and fruit. The issue is patients don’t want to change they want a magic pill.

[@matslindfors2969]

I'm sorry, I'm from Sweden, but what does GP means?

[@YakoobYasseen]

All over the world 🌍🌍 the good doctors are now just as wine matures the good doctors learn and matures from the patients and now the good doctors and patients are now on the same level everyone is equal no one is better than the other meaning that they are human resource.

[@LynHannan]

Great presentation!!! NOW DO ONE AIMED AT HOSPITALS INCLUDING THEIR KITCHEN STAFF/MENU ALONG WITH THE NURSES, DIETITIANS, ETC. I LITERALLY STARVE IN HOSPITAL. MY HUSBAND HAS BROUGHT ME IN FOOD ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. I AM MORE LIKELY TO REFUSE TO GO TO HOSPITAL FOR THIS REASON AND PUT UP WITH INCREASED PAIN. IT'S DEHUMANISING.

[@bplusAgain]

For sure if patients on the way or has IR!

[@bplusAgain]

Just anything processed including supplements is a step forward!

[@bplusAgain]

I meant for elimination from diet!!! :)

[@wandayonder9772]

Dieticians are terrible. An obese elderly friend has been instructed by a dietician to eat 6-8 small snacks a day to keep blood sugar level and improve her digestive health. Needless to say, she's lost no weight but is happy snacking through the day on "professional" advice. These people need sacking.

[@michelefinizio6520]

Good carbs are good some people don't but I need it

[@jimw6659]

Hi. There is no such thing as a good carb. Carbs are strings of sugar molecules that metabolise as glucose. Carbs are non-essential for life. You only have 1 teaspoon of sugar in your bloodstream and it’s the liver’s job to make that, which it does by converting a small amount of fat. You say you need carbs so, like most people, you are sugar-addicted. I hope you consider some form of keto diet. Good luck!
