I’m looking forward to sharing information about kidney health. If you have muscles Dr Shawn Baker 🥩, your creatinine based eGFR is falsely low 🥺! What’s the evidence for a low protein diet slowing decline in kidney function??? 🫘Low carb + SGLT2i in CKD? A powerfulcombination? 🥩😃

🚨 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 had the highest LDL and lowest VLDL, had the best survival rates

If we are looking at assisted suicide as a “solution” for anorexia, we MUST agree that the current treatment options are not working for most people.

What if we treated anorexia as a metabolic-psychiatric disorder?

Thank you Benjamin Bikman. This is what I finally understood after listening to your lectures. Mario Kratz also gets this! Even one low carb meal affects the next meal as there is less insulin “ready to go” sitting in the beta cells.

'In our cohort, the risk for T2D was not associated with intake of meat in the adjusted analyses . . . a recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials did not support a mechanistic link between red meat intake and T2D risk factors.'

Metabolic disorders sometimes co-exist with brain processing problems, which may need a different kind of treatment. If you know someone with a functional neurological disorder, this may be helpful.

Hanna filed her lawsuit against the ADA in New Jersey in November. Her lawsuit paints a picture of an organization more beholden to its corporate benefactors than the 127 million Americans with diabetes or pre-diabetes – echoing the kinds of criticisms that you can read in online…

Meanwhile, the ADA, diabetes peak bodies and majority of dietitians still tell people with diabetes that oats with banana & dates is OK.
The ADA comes out smelling of 💩🍰.
Time to change un-evidence-based dietary Guidelines!

If people with diabetes were told clearly &unambiguously that if they stopped eating carbohydrate-rich foods they could probably arrest or reverse their diabetes, thousands of lives & billions of dollars could be saved? ⁦Diabetes UK⁩ ⁦⁦ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is an exciting opportunity! Plus what a great idea to focus on Chronic kidney disease! Dr Gupta a low carb nephrologist and also Prof Thomas Weimbs Thomas Weimbs, PhD also coming. Low carb reverses type 2 diabetes. Physiology mimics the SGLT2 Inhibitors!
