      The pressures on medical professionals to just dole out pills (and more and more these days, syringes) are enormous. I’m sure it takes a great deal of conviction and conscience to swim against that extremely strong tide. Simply, not all are cut out for it. It’s much easier (and safer for their careers) to just parrot back what they’ve been taught, like “being in ketosis damages your kidneys.” It’s not true; has never been actually observed, but it gives them an out to not buck the system, so they tend to embrace it to just get rid of the “problem” of their conscience telling them they’re not doing right by their patients.

      I have bipolar and have heard that I should do epilepsy keto instead because our conditions are similar and may need more fat.

      ​@@carnivoroussarahI mean really all you can do is just be on keto, aim for sufficient protein, and keep dialing up the fats until you are fine.
      Though I would recommend just adding a little bit of MCT to everything. Like goat and sheep dairy such as cheese, MCT oil.
      If you can get like MCT pills and take 1 every hour or 2 might help, and sardines and other really healthy fish should also help, but all you can do is experiment yourself, whether they respond to you or not.
      Hope this helps.

      I actually cancelled my last appt. with my primary care doctor, because I did not follow his orders and see the G.I. doctor or the infectious disease doctor. I also stopped taking some other medication I had. I’m feeling better than ever. I had been suffering from IBS, colitis, etc. for over four years and the doctors did nothing to help me. They were actually the reason I kept getting sicker and also getting opportunistic infections. Debated whether or not I should tell the doctor the truth about how I feel about everything but I’m doing so well and I don’t need any negativity or stress in my life right now so I canceled the appointment. I will go to doctor if I have a major accident or life-threatening situation. That’s the only reason. It’s really evil with the medical profession has done to society.

They need to sustain chronically ill patients. It starts with the processed industry, clinical/hospital care, therapy and pharmaceuticals. Everyone of these entities makes out good financially.

    I cured my NAFLD with NASH and F3-F4 fibrosis by adopting a low carb, then keto diet. I was also diagnosed with heart failure with an ejection fraction of 35%. For the last two years I have been almost entirely carnivore and have added resistance training to my daily routine, and my ejection fraction was up to 60% last month. Normal. Tell me, did I reverse both liver disease and heart failure by simply changing my diet and exercising? My cardiologist's notes state that I have no clinical signs of congestive heart failure. I am 76 years old and take no prescription meds. I am healthier and stronger than I have been in decades. Carbs kill. It's as simple as that.

    Great interview! I am very familiar with the medical profession and their closed mindedness. I worked in 4 different kinds of hospitals and worked with many doctors and nurses. Some have been close friends. When I started a low card diet in 2011 they were not impressed. And they do not want to know anything about it. I suspect that all the money they spent on their education in the medical standard of care, they don't want to know that maybe what they were taught just might be wrong. I am very impressed with this UK doc for foraging ahead with his new knowledge no matter how he was humiliated.

    Overall I think the Internet has benefited patients. It allows leaders like Dr. Unwin and Dr. Westman to explain their views. BTW I was diagnosed with essential hypertension decades ago. When I decided to try a low-carb diet I did not expect to be freed from the medications because I had the idea that only obese patients would get that benefit although I was overweight as the diagnosis of essential hypertension clouded the issue. I am now medication-free. Despite this, my physician continues to urge me to avoid salt. I am ignoring that advice as it is an essential electrolyte. Low carb (keto) is wonderful. So are physicians like you who listen to patients.

When I was diagnosed with diabetes in Oct 2021 I started researching diets for diabetes and up popped things about low carb. After watching some videos and reading comments I decided to try it and it worked. I'm now down to my mid 1980s weight before children, and am metabolically healthy, and off BP drug too. Dr Unwin was one of the first videos I found.

      Even if they did mention that we are overweight they don't have a solution that is doable; ie without making us miserable and hungry and having to be very disciplined. I went low carb to remit my diabetes and in the process went from 80kg down to 60kg without even trying. I now weigh what I did mid 1980s before having children. Low carb helps a huge amount with the cravings and the protein and fat keep me full for a long time.

    First, thank you to both of you. My first foray into Keto was for weight loss and it worked. Wasn't even a good keto plan! Now due to complications after rectal cancer surgery (low anterior resection syndrome) most days I am carnivore, or a bit ketovore, but no lettuce, hardly any veg. My husband infuriates me. Post stroke, heart attack, has high blood pressure, diabetes and who knows what else, on metformin, statins, ozympic, and many other meds. He refuses to listen to me, is content to take the meds so he can eat what he likes. I stopped going to the doctor with him. Same with my daughter, horrible bowel issues, probably IBS, serrated polyp syndrome with 28 polyps removed last time, on and on. Change her diet? No way. I get so frustrated, and it can be difficult to live with all this food I can't eat around me. My husband even goes through a pound of sugar in about a week and a half. I do fault their doctors as well.

    I was happy to have an appointment with Dr Unwin a few weeks ago. I had TWO GP'S from his same practice write off my concerns about the fact that I potentially had an insulin problem because my a1c wasn't quite at pre diabetic level. They weren't interested in the 2yrs of BGM readings I had tracked with my weight loss, one actively told me my BGM wasn't calibrated so wouldn't be correct anyway. When I saw Dr Unwin to discuss my last bloods my 3mthly BGM readings matched exactly the hba1c test. 😂
    The problem, when I dug down, is that primary care GP's in the UK dont even have access to fasting insulin tests (I had requested that). So, you have to reach pre diabetes or worse prior to taking action, unless you accidentally come across this information and take action yourself. What a messed up system!

    I am so happy for all the information about ketogenic diet from you, from the real doctors!!! 👍
    I am totaly disappointed because in my own language (slovak) I cannot share any video from real doctor on this topic. 😢 Such a shame for my country.

    I gave up on trying to tell my Dr anything when I wanted a natural birth. It was a fight every step of the way, but I (mostly) got the birth I wanted.
    I've been on the low carb diet for about a month now, with varying degrees of success each day. I have probably cut out about 70% of my carbs. I'm already down 5 lbs and my stiffness in my joints is noticeably less.

      Almost 32 years ago, I broke the L&D intake protocols though nurses were insistent of "this is the protocol ".
      I've learned that if it's "a I protocol", don't fall for it.

    thank you Dr. Westminster and Dr. Unwin for this insightful conversation. it is sad that medical experts like you are called out by dietitians who think they know what is the best nutrition for patients. they just abide by the 'eat badly plate' as Dr. Zoe Harcombe calls it. guiding their clients straight onto a path of ill health! please carry on the good work you do, Dr. Unwin and Dr. Westman. thank you. miss Reimara, a grateful member of the public health collaboration

    What a wonderful interview, you are both a blessing. I would love to have doctors like these two! I have three doctors and none have suggested minimal carb to address my “bird shot” syndrome.
    I went carnivore in January and seeing (no pun intended) phenomenal changes. After two years of treatment with moderate success, I decided to ignore them all (when I asked if I changed my diet would it help and they all said no) and take control of my own well being.

    I learned the hard way at 23 I was diagnosed with A.S. in my thirties I was on 16 medications a day. I lost two careers by the time I was 40 and on permanent disability. Not from the disease but from the medications. I weaned myself off meds followed a supplement, herbal, and exercise regimen a few years later A. S. was in remission.

    Doctors today are told what to do and how to do it. 95% or more rarely think in any logical way. Thus it is up to yhe individual to educate themselves, beat their addiction, and heal themselves before it is too late for them. Complaining does not heal you.

    Your doctor should be pushing - Exercise, Sleep, getting Happy in life (change jobs, change spouse, change living location,...), and correct diet. These are first and foremost. Then medications as required. Unfortunately most people Refuse to change their diet. Most will Refuse to exercise and get happy.

    I could never remember what ketovore was. Then i realized one day "oh that's my theoretical diet in college when i was calling it Nomadic Eating. Mostly meat with occasional vegg"
    My theory was if you were following animals around large areas the chances of you finding veggies consistently 1,000 years ago every day is probably not realistic.

    I had atrial fibrillation about two years ago. Luckily I managed to cure it even though it was non-proximal with intermittent fasting and a low carb, very low sugar diet. I now always do 17 to 19 hours a day fasting. It has improved everything, and I wish I discovered this many years back. I now have the energy of when I was in my 20's and although I am quite a slim build, I've managed to put on a moderate amount of muscle, which I think is due to growth hormone release when you are fasting for a longer fast. For me it dropped my inflammation like a stone, and took roughly 9 months to really see serious improvements.

    IDK, I'm almost 70 & I've been under the impression that most people gravitate to 'give me a pill' (The Rolling Stones "Mother's Little Helper" comes to mind) rather than 'working' on a significant life change. We get used to eating carbage over our lifetime & it's chemically fixed to be addictive (on purpose). Then we get sick and discover Keto & try to fix our long sustaining problems.

    At the dr now, just had a consult with dietitian who said I should have complex carbs to add weight. Been on a ketovore diet for pre diabetes and ckd 3a and have lost weight fast, too fast. She said I was eating too much protein via meat and not enough complex carbs like dairy, grains, some veggies which previously was told not to eat like potatoes, etc.

Not sure what it will take to convince her. She is worried about my triglycerides which are 130, and i have no other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

    I thought i was having a heart attack and the doctor concluded that even after my ecg came back fine. He gave me blood thinners clopidogrel and statins coz am the heavier side but didnt take then. Later had the same symptoms but went to emergency after a thorough test of scans,chest imaging i was told i have gall stones which has the same symptoms as a heart attack. I can not shake the fact i was misdiagnosed and give medication that could possibly worsen my situation

    Dr. Westman, you simply must make a couple of short videos for TH-cam and reels for Instagram perhaps of the good doctor Unwin from the UK explaining his bird reserves and regenerative farming. He’s so succinctly described the thriving ecosystem of a regenerative farm. You simply have to capture that in a 60 second Short.
