Did you know the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for obesity and metabolic disease recommend that a 13 year old child get bariatric surgery or an injection hormone to lose weight and reverse disease, but that a Low Carb Diet requires intense medical supervision?

Given…

A high protein diet is NOT “hard on the kidneys”. Let me explain:

1. Protein is metabolized in the liver, not the kidneys.

2. Waste products from protein metabolism (urea, creatinine and uric acid) are very small molecules that easily go through the kidney filters and end up in…

Do conventional doctors or dietitians tell patients to eat more meat and less carbs for better metabolic health? All I hear is eat less fat, less red meat and more whole grains.

My patients are curing their metabolic diseases doing the exact opposite. They can’t be both right.

What are you doing to reduce your medications or avoid medications?

Do you know that simple dietary changes can fix many of your chronic health problems?

Is your doctor supporting you on this journey or just wants to add more pills and injections?

You can activate your satiety hormones by injecting experimental drugs like GLP-1 agonists and suffer side effects and unknown long term consequences OR you can do it by eating more protein and healthy fats.

Why is it still controversial that food that spikes blood glucose level (i.e. carbohydrates) should NOT be consumed by someone with type 2 diabetes? You don’t need a randomized controlled trial for that. Anyone with a glucometer and common sense would come to the same conclusion.

If diabetes medications did not exist, would the advice remain to avoid fat and eat whole grains?

If blood pressure medications did not exist, would the advice remain to avoid salt?

One thing will become obvious immediately is that the advice above doesn’t work.

When you don't feel well and your first thought is, 'What 💊 can I take to...?' you're buying into society's delusion that there's 'a pill for every ill.' This mentality makes pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies very happy and wealthy 💰, but it won't make you healthy.

This is not an ad hominem attack, defined as “directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.”

The positions he maintains are consistently and demonstrably false. Here are clear…

Patient with type 2 diabetes and hypertension stops eating sugar and carbs:

Glucose ⬇️
Weight ⬇️
Visceral fat ⬇️
Blood pressure ⬇️
TG ⬇️
HDL ⬆️
A1C normal
💊 💊 stopped
Patient feels amazing

But… LDL ⬆️

PCP/cardiologist:
🗣 Stop what you’re doing and start Statin 💊

Me: 🤦🏻‍♂️🤯

Instead of being quick at prescribing medications, doctors need to think: “how I can avoid prescribing medications?” or “how can I discontinue medications?”

This simple shift will force them to discuss diet and lifestyle. It will make them think of fixing the root cause.

🚨 Seed oils are the debate du jour.

People who say they’re bad provide evidence that they’re associated with increased inflammation and risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

People who say they’re NOT bad provide evidence as well showing that they’re NOT associated…

We need more “non-compliant” patients: patients that challenge the status quo, who want to fix the root of their health problems and refuse to be chronically sick and medicated.

Started working with guy for type 2 diabetes and hypertension. He’s on 10 medications and feels miserable. I stopped 3 unnecessary pills right off the bat. Many more will follow in the coming weeks as he cleans up his diet.

The state of our healthcare system is embarrassing.

If you have high abdominal visceral fat (large belly circumference), you are NOT metabolically healthy. You’re more likely to have insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, which put you at risk for all types of diseases: metabolic, cardiovascular, and cancer.

The goal for type 2 diabetes management is drug-free REVERSAL through dietary changes. Anything short of that is suboptimal at best.

A patient with type 2 diabetes maintaining HbA1C “at goal” is NOT a success and if it’s taking several drugs to do it, that’s an utter failure.

Ever since I got on social media almost 4 years ago, I see the same arguments and debates about the same things from the same people. I’m yet to see one person jump ships. Patients tell me they’re confused because of all the conflicting information they read.

All I know is that…
