Resources Mentioned Dr Jason Fung https://www.thefastingmethod.com/   Quotes by Natalie Coghlan “I was a trained nutritionist and had been trained in the typical UK dietary guidelines and then had the realisation that this isn’t working.” “I was totally undernourished.” “Every client is low in fat and low in calories and they are trying so hard to lose weight and feel healthy.” “Are you giving your eggs the environment for it to develop?” “We know we’ve got all the eggs we will have, but we don’t know we can actually influence the quality of eggs and quality of sperm.” “I am such a believer in we are what we eat.” “It’s not about eating for two.” “Predominantly it is insulin resistance that has gone undiagnosed.” “99% of women will be following the low fat, low calorie way of eating, even subconsciously.” “Within the area of infertility, often women have tried everything.” “Leftovers are such a fantastic and convenient lunch.” “Typically those feelings towards fatty cuts of meat are just habit, learnt as a child, learnt from someone else’s reaction.”   Connect with Natalie Coghlan on social media Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NCNutritionConsultancy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natalie_coghlan LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalie-coghlan/   Website Details: https://www.nataliecoghlan.com   The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week journal to support new habits – Jackie Fletcher If you have enjoyed listening to this episode – Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

Laura Rupsis As a working mother of 4 children, Laura understands the demands of today’s busy lifestyle and the detrimental impact that the dietary and lifestyle choices so many of us make in the interest of convenience can have. After spending over 20 years in the financial industry and about 5 years of hard work and planning, Laura was able to leave that world behind to pursue her passion for ancestral health and fitness. Laura earned her first nutrition/health coach certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2012 after suffering severe health issues that were only alleviated through diet and lifestyle changes, rather than conventional medical interventions. She then aligned herself with the Primal Health Coach Institute in 2013 to coach others through long term lifestyle change using the ancestral health model that has helped her maintain her health and optimal weight effortlessly. Laura also became a CrossFit affiliate owner and trainer in 2013 and has been using Primal Health Coaching since the gym opened as a way to add more value, differentiate her box from all the others and to add additional sources of revenue. She is committed to coaching others into a healthy, real food, holistic lifestyle that best suits the unique metabolic and lifestyle needs of each individual. Laura joined the Primal Health Coach Institute as a team member in 2016 as The Director of Admissions. She is also a faculty member and coach supporting, guiding and educating new Primal Health Coaches. In 2020 Laura and her family moved to Florida where she continues to coach and is rebuilding her private practice while also supporting others who want to build a career out of their passion for health and fitness with the Primal Health Coach Institute. Laura’s Certifications Include: CF Level 1, MovNat Level 1, Certified Primal Health Coach, IIN Certified Holistic Health Coach, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and NASM Women’s Fitness Specialist.   Laura’s Top Tips Be very clear as to what you want but also why you want it – dig deep. Satiety first – build a meal that keeps you full for as long as possible. Exercise – ideally prioritise strength training but more important is something you will do consistently.

They might seem common but that’s not normal.” “I kept asking my doctors “Why does this keep happening?” – Nobody could answer why it was happening.” “At this point, I was willing to resort to human sacrifice.” “That’s the biggest scam going is this whole – kids have to eat something different.” “Women were told that eating meat was bad for you.” “Let’s eat for nutrients, let’s learn how to eat rather than diet, let’s learn how to train to be fit for the life you want to live.” “More broccoli and plant based protein shakes is not going to do it.” “Muscle is the longevity organ.” “Unless you are already dead, it is literally never too late.” “Snacks is

Julia Tulipan Mag. Julia Tulipan is a biologist and nutritional scientist, blogger, author, speaker, entrepreneur and science nerd. During her late 20s she experienced severe health issues like back pain, depression, weight gain and sleep problems, despite doing everything by the book. When Julia turned 30, she had reached a new low. That was the turning point in her health journey. This time she decided to dig deeper into the original science. This led her to question the general dietary guidelines and, on the path, to reclaim her health. During the last eight years Julia fought her way back and says about herself, that she is now the healthiest she has ever been. As a coach, she now helps others on their path to health and wellbeing. She supports high performing individuals in reaching their potential. She built one of the most popular German blogs about the low-carb and keto lifestyle.

Nina Teicholz Nina Teicholz, a science journalist, is author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. Nina is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that nutrition policies are transparent, evidence-based—work for which she’s been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate. Nina is a graduate of Stanford and Oxford Universities and previously served as associate director of the Center for Globalization and Sustainable Development at Columbia University. Nina lives in New York City with her husband and two sons. Nina&#8217;s Books The Big Fat Surprise &#8211; Nina Teicholz &nbsp; Nina&#8217;s Top Tips If you are looking at a study and it says “linked to” or “maybe connected to” that is a headline or study to just turn the page and move on. There is a lot of discussion from doctors about higher protein, in a low carb diet with combined with high intensity interval training (HIIT) and/or weight lifting. Wearing a constant glucose monitor (CGM) is one of the most illuminating ways to understand how your body responds to carbohydrates. Resources Mentioned Nina’s Substack &nbsp; Quotes by Nina Teicholz “I found myself inexplicably losing weight.” “How we could have lived so long with this giant mass of misinformation.” “How did they become so settled, how can it be that they are wrong or mostly wrong because there are so many checks in place in science. How is it that nobody stood up and stopped this massive flood of misinformation along the way.” “I had to be convinced by the evidence first and that took me a while.” “It is not easy to be a questioner, somebody who is challenging the quite conventional wisdom all around them, all the time. That is not a comfortable place to be.” “How is it possible that I could be right and all these experts be wrong?” “The guidelines are their vehicle for ensuring their products are sold and consumed and they truly own this space.” “So many people are sick and suffering. They are not getting good advice. Then they are being blamed for failing at the bad advice.” “It is the role of science to have respectful disagreement.” “In the US, $800 billion in feeding programs all depend on the guidelines.” “I don’t seen any nutrition journalist who is doing what journalists in every other area of enquiry do which is to follow the money.” &nbsp; Connect with Nina Teicholz on social media Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigfatsurprise Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NinaTeicholz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninateicholz/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninateicholz/ &nbsp; Website Details: https://ninateicholz.com https://unsettledscience.substack.com https://www.nutritioncoaliti

Dr Jen Unwin and Heidi Giaever Dr Jen Unwin Dr Jen Unwin is a chartered clinical and health psychologist. She worked for over 30 years in the NHS and now spends her time researching, campaigning and writing about sugar addiction. She is a founding member of the Public Health Collaboration, a UK charity campaigning for better public health advice. Her and her husband Dr David Unwin, a GP have been helping the patients in his practice adopt low carb diets to reverse their diabetes. This work has resulted in several published papers and numerous conference and media appearances. She has recently published a book called &#8216;Fork in the Road&#8217; which is a guide for people with sugar/carb addiction. All profits are for the PHC. &nbsp; Heidi Giaever Heidi comes from Norway and spent part of my childhood in East Africa. With her original degree (Salford University, UK) in Chemical Engineering she spent most of her career in international business development. She retrained in Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine following a personal health scare in her early 40s. She underwent extensive tests for early onset dementia, following a prolonged period of increasing memory and concentration problems with a direct impact on her work capacity and performance resulting in plummeting self-confidence. Years later, she met Dr Jen Unwin and Food Addiction Specialist Bitten Jonsson. She and Jen trained with Bitten. She then understood that her problem was food addiction. It wasn’t from poor nutrition as a child, but from an unchecked desire and exposure to sugar. She learnt to bake as a child, learnt to love the whipped sugar and butter bases for cakes and biscuits. This exposed her brain and body to ever increasing amounts of sugar without visible effects on her weight. Now she is a food addict in remission, focusing on “Life With and Beyond the Food”. She and her husband moved to the UK almost 9 years ago and she started voluntary work in the most deprived areas of Crawley, West Sussex. She worked with nutrition in community centres and preschools focusing on building awareness of the dangers of hidden sugars and the value of feeding children real foods. Since then, most of her work has been with mature adults, running diabetes reversal programmes for GP surgeries in Sussex and with private clients wanting help with weight, metabolic challenges and Food Addiction. Heidi now works closely with Jen on initiatives to bring formal recognition of this disorder and to contribute to the lack of clinical evidence of recovery and support programmes that can help sufferers. One such initiative is their Food Addiction Recovery Clinical Study, FARCS, where, together with Dr Jen Unwin and other colleagues in Sweden and North America, they offer group-consultation based programmes and they hope to achieve statistical significance so that that they can contribute valuable data to the current lack of clinical evidence in this field. Another main focus for her nutrition and lifestyle work has resulted in the Collaboration for Kids (CFK) project, which she leads under the umbrella of the Public Health Collaboration. Dr Jen&#8217;s Top Tips If you are a food addict the treatment is abstinence. You have work out which are your drug foods and exclude them. Not just what you eat but how you eat, what are the addictive behaviours? Eat foods that nourish your body and brain without being restrictive. Heidi&#8217;s Top Tips Analyse &#8211; take the time to look and analyse what is going on with you. Beyond the food &#8211; you need to fill your life with living not just food. Act &#8211; get active in this field. Dr Jen&#8217;s Books Fork In the Road &#8211; Dr Jen Unwin Fork in the Road &#8211; A 10

She currently works in long term care with a focus on nursing homes and gerontology. Her private health coach practice, The Cancer Doula, promotes a low-carb, whole-foods-based approach to disease prevention and cancer symptom management. When diagnosed with Stage 1 ovarian cancer, Martha began exploring the research of the disease and discovered the science of cancer metabolism. This led her to develop and use a protocol of ketogenic diet with targeted therapeutic fasting to significantly impact her response to chemotherapy. Inspired by her own journey, Martha wants to help others see cancer differently – as an experience that will give you strength, wisdom, and more love for your body and life than ever before. Her experience, strategies and resources, plus the science behind them, are outlined in her book Hacking Chemo: Using Ketogenic Diet, Therapeutic Fasting and a Kickass Attitude to Power Through Cancer. A featured speaker at the Low Carb Long Weekend Summit and on numerous podcasts, Martha shares her knowledge as a dietitian and experience as a cancer patient to inform others about the power of metabolic interventions to support conventional cancer treatment. Martha also instructs courses teaching the ketogenic approach to cancer treatment for the Nutrition Network and Udemy. A cancer survivor since 2018, Martha is an avid hiker, cyclist, live theatre backstage crew member and a wannabe world adventurer.

They&#8217;re marginalised.

Maia Sutherland Maia Sutherland has treated people’s health through acupuncture and massage for nearly thirty years. A child of ‘hippy’ parents from a ‘hippy’ town, she grew up firmly entrenched in the belief system that fruits and vegetables are superfoods and animal products are bad. After enough of a lifetime getting sicker and fatter, she discovered the transformative world of ketosis. This journey over the last three years, has changed much of her ‘belief’ replacing it with a quantifiable understanding of what helps a human animal to be more optimised. So enthused by these revelations, she is in the process of writing a book, hoping to inspire others, anywhere in the world on any budget and education, to simply and enjoyably reverse their own disease process, using the power of low carbohydrate feasting and fasting. Who was THE ONE Dr. Jason Fung Maia&#8217;s Top Tips Get as Informed as you possibly can. Start by changing one meal for example make your breakfast high fat and low carb. When you start be clever with yourself and have snacks at hand so you are not reliant on carb laden foods. &nbsp; Resources Mentioned Dr Jason Fung Andrew Huberman Huberman Lab Dan Greef’s Deliciously Guilt Free &nbsp; Quotes by Maia Sutherland “I used to think that being vegetarian was the healthiest thing in the whole world whilst I slowly fell apart.” “At the end of that month my short term memory came back.” “I just felt beyond amazing” “Fasting is a superpower, keto is self medicine, low carb is for when life is stressful.” “I am not one who thinks you should add pain, when you are in pain.” “We basically spent a month just looking each other in shock.” “One of the things I notice is that people are very unkind to themselves.” “I want to encourage people that all the changes that you make, accumulate into who you are.” “I do think that it&#8217;s important to point out that nothing you eat is keto. You are in ketosis.” “Everything is better when I&#8217;m keto or fasting. Everything is worse when I&#8217;m low carb, except I feel a bit more emotionally comforted me by my choices.” Connect with Maia Sutherland on social media Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/Contactmaia Or you can submit a message via our contact page and we will forward it to Maia &nbsp; If you have enjoyed listening to this episode &#8211; Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

David Baum I am a 64 year old man from Bushey in Hertfordshire. I have been married to my best friend Melanie for 38 years. We have two sons Philip &amp; Oliver and an amazing daughter in law called Kirsty, who is the mother of our beautiful granddaughter Chloe. I grew up in a typical North West London Jewish household where food was often used as a bargaining chip. Generally eat up and you&#8217;ll get a treat (when a young child) and then told to eat up as there are starving children who will be very happy to eat anything. At 9 it was discovered I was overweight and was sent to the dietician at The Royal Free who put me on a 1,600 calorie a day diet and so started my YoYo life as a dieter. Until I was in my mid 40&#8217;s I would gain and then lose weight trying all types of diets including Slim Fast &amp; Herbal Life, all worked well but the moment I stopped any weight I lost went back on, mind you, it didn&#8217;t help that I enjoyed cake and chocolates. I did enjoy playing badminton and cycling. Around this time I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, caused in part by the Slimfast/Herbal Life diets. Eventually I knew things had to change as I was &#8220;eating&#8221; the so called healthy diet of 5 a day plus all the &#8220;required&#8221; wheat and rice etc. I was fortunate to be introduced to Professor Brostoff, a leading immunologist who recommended I stop following the recognised &#8220;healthy&#8221; diet as it wasn&#8217;t healthy for me and introduced me to the Dukan diet, which was a revelation. I found by becoming gluten free and on a relatively low carb diet my weight improved as did my blood sugars and cholesterol. However, as with all lifestyle changes after a while I started to introduce other &#8220;Gluten Free&#8221; foods which meant my weight went up as I had no idea of the hidden carbs. Life continued until one magical day I was introduced to a keto lifestyle and it was like a light bulb went off in my head. These days I am able to keep up an intense level of exercise including running 10k&#8217;s, 10 milers, half marathons and in October a full marathon. I find that by following a keto lifestyle I never feel hungry and the selection of foods available is now first class. The fact that I can do the level of exercise means that I can be featured most days on/in our daily social media posts for The Move For Wellness. &nbsp; David&#8217;s Top Tips Avoid Processed Food Enjoy a low carb/keto lifestyle Laugh &#8211; every day find a reason to laugh Go for a walk in nature Resources Mentioned Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Quotes by David Baum “Sixty is one of these magic ages where you can suddenly switch into Type 2 Diabetes.” “I don’t want to be 85 and a burden or worry to my grandaughter.” “The envelope I am in is borrowed but when I get evicted, I get evicted.” “I am now know as The Man in a Tutu.” “We can only control, what we can control.” Connect with David Baum on social media Twitter: https://twitter.com/MoveWellness21 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/847640769414093 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moveforwellness21/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbaummfw/ YouTube: https://www.youtu

Michelle Hurn Michelle Hurn RD LD, Ultra Runner, Author of The Dietitian’s Dilemma Michelle Hurn is a registered and licensed dietitian with eleven years of experience as a clinical, acute care dietitian, lead dietitian in psychiatric care, and outpatient dietitian. While practising inpatient and outpatient care in the hospital setting, Michelle discovered a disheartening connection between the high carbohydrate, low fat, “sugar in moderation,” nutrition guidelines she was required to teach, and the rapidly declining health of her patients. Michelle is an endurance athlete, and she has competed in 12 marathons. In 2019, Michelle decided to follow a LCHF, high animal protein diet to see if it would alleviate severe muscle pain she was experiencing. Not only was her muscle pain gone in a matter of weeks, her decades of anxiety began to fade. Michelle is the author of the book, “The Dietitian’s Dilemma,” detailing how the current nutrition guidelines came into existence and advocating a low carbohydrate, animal-based way of eating as an option for individuals struggling with diabetes, mental disorders, eating disorders, sarcopenia, and heart disease. Michelle won her first Ultra Marathon covering 44.63 miles in a 6-hour time frame. Michelle also won the Tunnel Hill 50 mile race clocking 7.03.01 in 2021.

Graham Phillips Graham Phillips BPharm FRPharmS is a second generation community pharmacist. He describes himself as &#8220;The Pharmacist who Gave Up Drugs!&#8221; Having played a very senior leadership role in the pharmacy profession he became disillusioned with the NHS one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare with its emphasis on waiting for symptoms to arise before treating (suppressing?) them with drugs. He pioneered a new approach using his scientific knowledge, clinical expertise and new technology which resulted in the ProLongevity service. The ProLongevity programme helps people who want to lose weight, improve wellbeing and avoid/reverse diabetes, by using new technology to monitor real-time blood sugar levels. We provide personalised advice based on your data to help you make changes to your diet and lifestyle. We avoid traditional approaches that treat symptoms after the damage has been done. Prevention is better than cure. Graham has two sons, one is also a pharmacist and the other a corporate lawyer. He lives with his partner, Karen (a GP also passionate about lifestyle medicine) in North London. Like Jackie, Graham is also an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration. He believes that the world has become dominated by Big Food on the one hand (makes you sick) and Big Pharma on the other (makes you 10% better). In the end science must prevail. &nbsp; The One The Fast Diet &#8211; Dr Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer (5-2) diet Graham&#8217;s Top Tips Eat less and eat less often Make sleep a priority and get decent sleep Do some high intensity exercise Resources Mentioned Public Health England The Fast Diet &#8211; Dr Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer (5-2) diet The Father &#8211; Movie Still Alice &#8211; Movie UK BioBank Oura Ring Peter Attia MD Peter Attia Podcast with Patricia Corby Mouth Microbiome Peter Attia Podcast about Alzheimer’s The End of Alzheimer&#8217;s Programme: The Practical Plan to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline at Any Age &#8211; Dr Dale Bredesen Dale Bredesen Website 23 And Me &#8211; Genetic Testing Promethease MPI Cognition David Sinclair Podcast &nbsp; Quotes by Graham Phillips “You can&#8217;t really symptomatically make a really good diagnosis of dementia, you can get a sense of it.” “Either evolution is completely stupid or we&#8217;re looking at the wrong thing.” “What we need is a pyramid with lots of nutrition and not many calories.

Dr Ian Lake Dr. Ian Lake is a GP in Gloucestershire. He has had a long term interest in preventive medicine. Having Type 1 Diabetes himself, he eventually discovered and was strongly influenced by the book ‘Richard Bernstein&#8217;s Diabetes Solution’. He went on a very low carb diet five years ago which he feels has positively transformed his daily diabetes control to near non diabetes levels. He is planning to launch a website to provide information and education about keto diets in type 1 diabetes. He is also a founder member of the Public Health Collaboration, which is a charity dedicated to promoting a real food lifestyle. Dr Ian explains how Type 1 Diabetes is managed in the UK and how he thinks that there should be alternative options. He recognises that keto doesn&#8217;t suit everyone but feels it should be an option for everyone. We find out how he discovered keto and his long journey to start. Listen to how it has improved his quality of life, given him less worries and more control over his blood sugar. &nbsp; Dr Ian&#8217;s Top Tips You’ve got to want to do it (what is your why) Prepare to do it, read around it Plan for it do it for three weeks Resources Mentioned Dr Bernstein&#8217;s Diabetes Solution: A Complete Guide To Achieving Normal Blood Sugars &#8211; Dr Richard Bernstein NICE guidelines for Type 1 Continuous Glucose Monitoring Ian’s presentations at Public Health Collaboration PHCUK conferences @ PHCUK 2019 @ PHCUK 2018 @ PHCUK 2016 Other T1D’s who use low carb Link to Australian T1D Troy Stapleton (cyclist) Low Carb Downunder Link to Australian T1D Bec Johnson (swimmer) Hanna Böethius And listen to her podcast with us: http://fabulouslyketo.com/podcast/003 Jessica Turton Systematic Literature Review Turton, J.

How little I knew then.” “The recommendation for carbohydrates is 300 gms of carbohydrates a day roughly for everyone in our country and that is actually based on no science whatsoever.” “It is so lucky that carbohydrate is the only nutrient that is non-essential, every other nutrient the fat and protein are essential. We have to have certain fats and certain proteins to exist healthily but if we never ate another carbohydrate for the rest of our lives it wouldn’t materially affect our health.” “We really need to rethink T1 Diabetes management if 9 out of 10 people not achieving targets is acceptable.” “Life is so much more pleasurable, my blood glucose level goes from alpine to flatline. It used to be up down, up down, now it is pretty flat all day. I don’t have to think too much about my diabetes.” “It’s remarkable how freeing a low ca

Lisa Bailey Lisa is a 52 year old who hails originally from Bournemouth, in the south of England. She is a qualified Personal Trainer, with special certifications in Kettlebell training, HIIT training and Cardio Kickboxing, plus she is also a qualified Naturopathic Nutritionist and Primal Health Coach. Years of various illnesses relating to gut health led Lisa to investigate her dietary patterns and, after qualifying as a nutritionist, more research took her on a journey from vegetarian to carnivore with the result of alleviation of all her symptoms. After suffering an injury to her back many years ago, she turned to strength training to heal her own body, and believes that exercise is an important part of the overall lifestyle and achieving optimal health. Lisa got into low carb/keto for health reasons. She had been a vegetarian for 27 years, fortunately she ate eggs. She thought she was doing it for health reasons and environmental reasons. Lisa suffered with IBS symptoms. After training as a personal trainer and nutritionist, she read a lot, which led her to paleo, thinking she had an issue with gluten. She ate paleo as a vegetarian and was constantly tired. With more research she felt she had to add some meat and fish back into her diet. This wasn’t an easy decision having been a vegetarian for 27 years. Within 3 weeks her smell and taste came back. Lisa eats nose to tail and her health has never been better. Lisa believes if you are going to kill an animal then you should make use of the whole animal, plus different parts of the animal have different nutrients. &nbsp; Lisa&#8217;s Books Kettlebell courses &#8211; online courses Nutrition programs Health and wellness programs Lisa&#8217;s Top Tips Be patient and give it time Avoid substituting unhealthy foods with healthier versions &#8211; step away from substituting Embrace that it is a lifestyle change Resources Mentioned Amber O’Hearn Georgia Eade The Fat of The Land &#8211; Vilhjalmur Stefansson Strong Medicine &#8211; Blake F.

Mark Felstead My Name is Mark Felstead, 59 Years Old and until 3 years ago I was a very fit triathlete, often taking part in competitions and thinking I was doing everything right for my body and my health. For most of my adult life I have exercised and trained regularly, I ate what I thought was a healthy diet, I watched my weight, and I did not smoke… Things were all to change very suddenly on a Wednesday Evening in August 2018… I left my home with my racing bike to compete in a local duathlon. I kissed my wife and my daughter goodbye, not knowing it was very nearly the last time I would see them… 2hrs later, as I was nearing the finish line, I collapsed…. Sudden Cardiac Arrest, a so-called Widow Maker. Clinically dead on the spot. Luckily (oh so luckily!!) two of my fellow competitors were very quick to act and kept me alive (CPR) until the emergency services arrived (they were also Doctors who helped!!). I woke up 10 days later out of an induced coma… but that is a story for another time. Who was THE ONE?

Dr Gary Fettke Dr Gary Fettke M.B.,B.S.(University NSW), F.R.A.C.S.(Orthopaedic Surgery), F.A.Orth.A. Dr Gary Fettke is an Orthopaedic Surgeon and vocal proponent of nutrition being a major component of prevention and management of modern disease. In 2014, he became targeted by the processed food industry for his opinion on the perils of excessive sugar consumption, culminating in a ‘silencing’ by the Medical Board. 2018 saw a clearance of those charges with an apology from the board. In the process of that investigation, it became apparent that the issues were not just that of sugar reduction but that of the recommendation of animal-based protein and healthy fats in a balanced diet.

Kev Mason Kev Mason, or KetoKev as he has become more known as, is a Ketogenic Health and Fitness Coach. After serving 13 years in the British Army and reaching a massive 131kg, he realised after leaving that something needed to be done. He discovered the Paleo Diet and from then he dropped 10kg without effort or going to the gym. Once he started losing the weight he decided to look further into health and fitness, and discovered the ketogenic diet. At first he was slightly apprehensive about high amounts of fat but decided to go for it. Nothing happened apart from gaining weight. Confused about this newfound &#8220;wonder diet&#8221; he looked deeper and deeper into how to optimize keto for the best result. Trying and failing a few times he finally nailed the right path of a higher protein and med to high fat ratio then things started to happen but Kev still had a skeleton in his closet. He still consumed alcohol and in March 2019 after being threatened with divorce he sunk to the lowest point of his life, he took charge of his life, quit drinking and applied all the knowledge he had into building a Keto group to help himself and others. He gained qualifications and diplomas in The Ketogenic Diet &amp; Diabetes recognition and treatment, began courses in Red Light Therapy, Cold exposure, personal training and the gut brain connection. He began coaching clients and started turning lives around including his own. With a facebook group of over 15,000 people and private coaching groups he now creates content and information to help as many people as he can. Although not a qualified Chef, Kev has had formal training with Jeremy Ravenshaw-Fowler and would rather be known as a Cuisinier rather than a Chef. &#8220;We help educate people on real health&#8221; &#8211; KetoKev Who was THE ONE?

Nicola Lock Nicola Lock was a medical secretary in the NHS for 15 years and then set up as a freelance/self employed medical transcriptionist which she has been doing for the last 17 years, mainly in the private sector. Her interest in low carb began about 6 years ago after discovering Michael Mosley&#8217;s 8 week blood sugar diet. Over the years she has made several attempts at losing weight which either failed or if she succeeded initially she then put the weight back and was back to square one. In the New Year of 2019 she threw herself into low carb in an attempt to lose weight and six months later had lost 23lbs, which she has kept off (give or take a few pounds). Although she had no initial health issues after being low carb she has noticed improvement in her skin as well as improved energy and wellbeing. Nicola has been a member of the Nutrition Network since July 2020 and has completed several of their courses including Nutrition Network Advisor, Obesity: Risks &amp; Reversal, Ethics and Neurology. Nicola has been a PHC ambassador since October 2020 and has become involved in the Unwins low carb group. Who was THE ONE?

Renee Jones After 40 years on a diet, yo-yoing up and down the scale, Renée Jones had learned every diet – and every cheat – before finally stopping the comfort and stress eating to shed “those last 30 pounds” yet AGAIN in 2012 but this time, she has maintained at her goal weight. Now she helps others overcome their emotional eating to shed their weight AND keep it off.

It&#8217;s not always food. It&#8217;s just easy. It&#8217;s available. It&#8217;s legal.&#8221; &#8220;When you face your stuff, you no longer have to stuff your face for comfort or stress relief.&#8221; &#8220;I can put whatever I want in my mouth, I get to control that. So we work on, ‘okay, is this the outcome you want?&#8221; &#8220;One of my favourite questions that helps me as well as them is: is that who you want to be?&#8221; &#8220;My goal is always to help them heal their heart, so they can do it on their own.&#8221; &#8220;When I was about 10 years old, I looked around at all the other little girls, and I was a redhead. So I was already different to everyone else. And I was also chunky. And all the other blonde and brunette girls were thin. And I thought I don&#8217;t want to be chunky.&#8221; &#8220;I did that for 40 stinking years&#8221; &#8220;I ran across some really good advice, which was: only eat when you&#8217;re hungry. I thought if I could do that, I wouldn&#8217;t have a problem.&#8221; &#8220;I think that we have a global pandemic beyond COVID, and that is low self-esteem.&#8221; &#8220;It’s a culturally approved sin [eating].&#8221; &#8220;This is what my grandmother told me back in the 70s, to just watch your sugars and starches and you&#8217;ll be fine.&#8221; &#8220;I haven’t been depressed and I have a brighter outlook. This is weird. I don&#8217;t understand it. But I&#8217;ve basically stayed keto since then. I&#8217;ll have an occasional time when I have a few more carbs here and there. But I always come back to keto because it makes me feel so good.&#8221; &#8220;Anytime we get an opportunity to look at it differently, we have an opportunity to grow.&#8221; &#8220;Emotional baggage is a thing.

If I&#8217;m really tired, or if I&#8217;m doing a longer fast, because they really help with fasting.

Amy Eiges &nbsp;Amy Eiges is a health coach and reformed chronic dieter who is passionate about helping others recover from the diet-binge-gain-shame cycle she struggled with for years. Since discovering a ketogenic and low-carb lifestyle, she has lost 225 pounds and has both reversed pre-diabetes and resolved lifelong depression.&nbsp;“When I was just starting out, facing over 200 pounds to lose seemed insurmountable, and the idea I would ever be where I am now was unfathomable. Know this: I am not extraordinary. I just finally got the right advice, put one foot in front of the other and didn't look back. I know now that it can be done, but after battling this war for 40 years I had lost hope that it was really, truly possible. I am living proof that it is.”Amy considered bariatric surgery when she weighed 400lbs but felt that it wouldn’t be right for her as she was concerned she would replace her food addiction with another addiction. When she found keto it was at the right time when some of life stressors had been overcome and she could focus on herself and her health. She is sad that she got such bad advice from experts but recognises that she might not have been in the right place earlier in her life and at the same time regrets the time wasted. She is now a health coach who can give to others a chance she didn’t get so that they don’t have so much wasted time, like she did. Amy's Top TipsHope - it is possibleAre you hungry?

Dr Lucy, along with practice partner Dr Mary Barson run Real LIfe Medicine. This was the inspiration to create an online learning platform to share this information far and wide.&nbsp;Lucy has muscular dystrophy which impairs her mobility. In her 20’s she managed her weight with exercise. Alas, this is no longer possible. She became overweight/obese and was insulin resistant. Two years ago, she lost 20 kgs by adopting a low carb lifestyle and more importantly has maintained this.&nbsp;Dr Lucy is known for her positive can-do nature and is an eternal optimist. Despite this, she has experienced depression for many years, which is now in remission thanks to her lifestyle changes.&nbsp;She practices meditation daily (well at least second daily). Dr Lucy also speaks at conferences for doctors on weight management, as well as events for the general public, and is now considered an expert in this field. Dr Lucy is a mum to two teenage girls - say no more.Initially trained in molecular biology, Suzie Edge completed her medical degree specialising in trauma and orthopedics. &nbsp;During her time working in the UK NHS, she became increasingly disillusioned with medicine and embarked on a career change, this time as a history focussed writer. &nbsp;Her focus on health, not only in her medical practice, but also for herself and how she can best achieve her health and physical activity goals lead her to low carb keto. &nbsp;But it wasn’t without some challenges which we discuss how reaching out for help and connecting with community has helped her overcome and fully commit to positive lifestyle changes.
