Two years ago I was a morbidly obese Type 2 Diabetic. In July '22 I came across a podcast of a presentation from Gary Fettke. For the first time I learnt that T2D could be reversed by eating a Low Carb High Fat diet! I began following it immediately. In three months my HbA1c dropped from 9.0 to 6.2. My last reading was 5.2 & I'm down 45kg!
Gary Fettke is one of my heroes. Congratulations on the brilliant job of getting the nutritional guidelines for diabetics amended. His wife is brilliant too.
Grateful thanks from a newly converted and very grateful grateful LCHF eater who only a year ago been told by a well respected and influential dietician that I must keep up the carbs for every meal and eat 6 times a day!! I knew that the diet and statins were hurting me but didn't know who to trust. Please know your message is being heard, your work is life-changing
I cannot express how pleased I am that you two dignified, brave, and learned physicians have revealed the greedy and bizarre TRUTH about the history of “healthcare”. 💪🧠
Thank you for addressing how crap the Australian Guidelines are! I realised this when I was gestational but everyone around me kept telling me I should eat what I'm told to. I ended up with type 2 5 years later. I've had to do an elimination diet to prove to people these foods were going to eventually kill me. It makes me sad watching my family egnore me and try to enable me to eat food I shouldn't! These videos are helping me hang in there with the keto and helping me get those 5 years of my life back.
I very much appreciate Dr. Westman's calm and serious approach to educating the masses. I am a rather hyper person and I find listening to Dr. Westman's TH-cam videos to be very calming. I should listen before I have my blood pressure measured during my doctor's appointments. I am certain that it would be less, even if I had to race to the clinic from the bus stop.
@@denisea.9033 i wish that Dr. Westman would use a teleprompter to reduce the inarticulate bits in his delivery. However, Dr. Westman is a very busy man conducting research, supervising medical and possibly graduate students (my assumption), and treating patients. He also has a family. so the time he takes in his busy schedule to explain the low-carbohydrate diet to new viewers is valuable. You may also be someone who is used to listening to relatively complex material. Remember that many of the people who most need to improve their heath are not necessarily well educated on health topics. Speaking slower allows these people to assimilate the information the first time Dr. Westman articulates his thoughts.
Oddly enough, Dr.Westman is the primary video I send to my friends with "health Challenges" in regards to Metabolic Health/Syndrome X. His calm demeanor usually helps with getting the point across to my friends. Cheers!
Always a treat to listen to Dr Fettke He is so informative and passionate about the history of the Food Guidelines. I learn something new after each video
Dr Fettke, thank you for advocating for better hospital food and thank you for inspiring me to look up Harry Willis Miller and his contribution to the development of soy-based infant formula. Please give my regards to your favourite Sunday School teacher, ok? And Dr Westman, who knew you could sing…? Thank you so much for the time and effort required to bring your top-quality content directly into my living room, week after week. 🙏
This was one of the best guests that you’ve had on channel. Must arrange to have him back on again soon. Loved the clear and messaging evidence based medicine at its best.
A synchrostic meeting of Dr Fettke changed my life! Helped big time to restore my health 🥩 Thank God I happened to be house-sitting a celebrity chefs retreat 🤔😃🎉 This is one of Dr Fettke’s excellent interviews with even more generous life experience detail. What a privilege it is to listen to such courageous, authentic, humanity loving doctors . Thank you Dr Westman ⭐️🙏🏽💖 🥩🙌🏽
Thankyou Gentlemen for all your work. I've been struggling with weight issues and Hoshimotos for a decade. Recently also with hypertension. Despite taking medication my blood pressure remained high 160/105 Also taking up to 3 Nexium a day for reflux. Two weeks on a low carb diet eating eggs, cheese meat and low carbon veggies and good oils. Blood pressure 125/85 Very little reflux down to 1 nexium every 3 days. My energy is up and my mood is much better. Amazing is all I can say, and the added bonus is no cravings.
As painful as the educational process is concerning the state of medicine in our world, the information these doctors are giving us can make the difference in a healthier life, if we can listen and act. Thank you doctors.
💚Wow, what an amazing interview/discussion! To hear the the dietary guidelines in Australia have been modified to inckude a low-carb option is Excellent, encouraging and Inspiring! Very interesting look at the history..it explains SO much about how we got to where we are today! Thank you both so much. 💚
The Catholic nuns that worked in my elementary school did not work with fear. The message was that the main things that humans had to do to be saved was to treat other humans well. You were expected to accept God and Jesus as a God, but far more time was spent on how taking care of the poor and suffering was how God would judge Catholics.
Imagine in the US there approx 350 m people and you get the majority to eat your product for breakfast and you make $2 profit from each person a week. 350 x $2 = $ 700 million a week!
It sounds as if the Seventh Adventist Church thinks that masturbation is worse than rape! Why are so many “religious” people so hung up on masturbation?
I've been a religious person for half of my life and I've never met. Another single religious person who was hung up on masturbation. I have however met A 7th day Adventist family who were very weird and overtly worried about this type of thing. I really think it's just the seventh day adventists.
@@louisacapell You are likely correct. I have problems understanding why anyone would be so focused on this unless it is part of a larger personality disorder. I would much prefer teenagers to masturbate rather than for the couple to discover that they are now facing a pregnancy or contracting a STD. Kids are pushed to be adults too soon in America.
It is really depressing to think I've been so sucked in by a bunch of strange ideas promoting the eating of poor foods. I can accept the money making insidious influence but that the crazy people have had so much influence is frustrating. My father turned out to be right, the food pyramid was nonsense. Unfortunately, mum controlled the meals, and read the magazines etc. The difference in my health after switching to Keto is fantastic. Wife also. Experimenting with carnivore but think will settle on Keto. Friends think we are crazy, yet we can see how Keto would help their illnesses (including diabetics). I think the truth will out due to the fact Keto works. It will be harder and harder for the food industry to dismiss the evidence. You can already see them attempting to disparage Keto with real crap studies - they just want the headlines to continue the myths.
Warnings against False Teachers 1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
If the SDA actually believed the Bible, they'd be eating meat! Whether you believe in it or not, the Bible actually commands eating meat in both the old and new testaments. As a Christian and a nutrition consultant, I find it ridiculous to restrict eating meat. I see it clearly as part of God's good design for us. All vegetarian cultures come from man-made ideas about religion. SDA, Hindu, or Earth Worship, it's all the same. The need for control and/or appeasing deities.
The issues are far more nuanced than most of the doctors and scientists present. Only a couple of TH-cam doctors explain the important nuances about meat and plants and glyphosate and pesticides and animal feed and heavy antibiotics , nutrients and growth hormones: Dr. Steven Gundry & Dr. Mark Harmon.
You do understand that everyone has a different level of understanding of these complex issues, right? Someone new to these idea could get lost in the nuances you think are so important. Don’t criticize people just because they aren’t giving you exactly what you want. Spend your time with channels that can provide you with the level of understanding that works for you.
I have heard Dr Westman discussing some of Dr Gundys ideas and I have to agree with Dr Westman that he is fear mongering with his information. Concerning.
I am not a 7th day adventist,at all. I am opposed to veganism i'm in every way. I'm opposed to seventh day adventism because it's a cult. Ellen g white was a verified charlatan. But I wonder if he realizes how off putting he is to Christianity at large by lumping all of Christianity in with 7th day Adventism and talking about the silly People trying to prove the jesus was the son of god. I was a little bit surprised by that comment . I'm used to people I'm used to people crafting on Christians because I am one.Crapping on Christianity as a whole. And I love this channel so I was just Surprised.
I guess Dr Westman doesn’t see it as his job to edit out the opinions of his guest. Which I applaud. It might make you uncomfortable but it isn’t anyone’s job to protect you and your belief systems.
@theskyehiker Well obviously I wasn't asking him to edit anything out, As others have in this thread, And I don't expect him to protect my feelings. Lol I was just surprised by the overt nature of how they both expressed their opinions on the topic. I just didn't expect it on this channel. And it's okay for me to say that.
On the value of Christianity, my once-devout mother used to console me (when I objected that so many church attendees were also members of the KKK), “Well honey, just think what they’d be like if they WEREN’T Christians.” 😅
You edit out the last 20 min or so, superfluous to the cause, so to speak; sorry your friend has so many health issues of his own, but it doesn’t add credibility to the no carb message really and actually distracts from the poignant menages brought forth earlier in the interview.

Well done 👍
Gary Fettke is one of my heroes.

His wife is brilliant too.
How I wish I’d had a Sunday School teacher like Belinda Fettke!
I could have listened to Dr. Fettke another hour - and I think he could have spoken for another hour, too :)
Grateful thanks from a newly converted and very grateful grateful LCHF eater who only a year ago been told by a well respected and influential dietician that I must keep up the carbs for every meal and eat 6 times a day!!

holy-cow; these doctors are true pioneers....they've experienced so much - they're a wealth of information. with great respect: thank you!

😅 that’s funny, I’m a very calm person and I have to listen to his videos at 1.5 or 1.75 speed. I like his calm and professional approach too.
Plus Dr Westman can SING… who knew? 🎤

Thank you, both! Thank you for you integrity and bravery!
I love when you hear a doctor use the phrase “Root Cause” when discussing diabetes…
So sorry for the painful journey you have had, Dr Fettke. May the good karma you are creating come back to you a thousand fold.
That doc is awesome 👏 😊 we need more of him
Thank you Drs for getting the message out! There are indeed more voices joining every day.

Best interview EVER! Thank you.
Personally, you both are my heroes.
Good stuff! Thank you both 😊
Brilliant interview, thanks for putting it on !!

Thank you Dr Fettke for this information.
Fantastic!
Great podcast thank you
Great information.
Great chat, learned so very much, I cheering you both on❤️🎶❤️🎹
"He ate too many cornflakes!". That made me laugh out loud.

Excellent thank you
Absolutely stunning info here. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent conversation! Thank you 😊
Great video! 👍
Thank you both for this brilliant discussion! Much love and respect to you both ❤️ 🩺 🥩 🥚
Great discussion. Thank you.
Loved listening to the two of you. God bless you both and thank you
Seventh Day Adventists are noted in The Vegetarian Myth & The Big Plant-Based Con.
Look at the bible the first case of Adam and Eve....they ate an apple then were kicked out of the garden lol
@@85birko Actually, it wasn't an apple, but it was a fruit, so it still shows how it ain't all that great to eat. 😆
The garden also has the tree of eternal life. 😉
I wish Dr Westman would sit back and just listen and stop injecting his 2 cents all the time. Dr Fettke has this!❤
Control your diet , with it your wt , with it , your health ! 💝🚴♀️
Belinda Fette: A true Angel 😇😇😇😇😇😇 💯💯
Question: Has Belinda Fettke written a book on her research on the role of religion & how it influences our dietary guidelines?
I used to live in an old farm house in Otsego, Michigan. Ellen White supposedly had her vision about vegetarian diet in that house.
Medicare will cover CGM if you test hypoglycemic on an OGTT. I always do the 6 hour OGTT and that is where you find the hypoglycemia.
Dr Fettke said an Australian slang term “Up yours”
we really need to get RFK to approve low carb as an official approved diet to treat diabetes
It must be interesting to be the keto guy at an academic medical center. Hopefully they still invite you to Christmas parties.
You might be invited but what would eat or drink at that party?😮
Wonder what’s happening to our physicians that really do care go to about 17 or 18 and listen
My doctor actually recommended a low-carb diet, which I was already on, but still, what a shock!
The Catholic nuns that worked in my elementary school did not work with fear. The message was that the main things that humans had to do to be saved was to treat other humans well. You were expected to accept God and Jesus as a God, but far more time was spent on how taking care of the poor and suffering was how God would judge Catholics.
Since this video was made it has become possible to buy a continuous blood glucose monitor without a prescription in the United States.
Imagine in the US there approx 350 m people and you get the majority to eat your product for breakfast and you make $2 profit from each person a week. 350 x $2 = $ 700 million a week!

"The Jesus people..." Nice jab Westman...
John Harvey Kellogg lived to be 91 years old.
It is really depressing to think I've been so sucked in by a bunch of strange ideas promoting the eating of poor foods.

The food industry already knows the truth.
Simple we have choices, you can look after your body and mind..or you can choose to abuse your gift of life.
Next challenge the pharma financial motive.
They don't even have to pay anything to promote all this. The food industry sends them millions of customers every year.
Every time I see cornflake I’ll of you. Thanks
When doctors have to prescribe an egg you can be sure that we are living in a dietary dystopia.

The Rich and Kings eat meat, the poor and peasants eat carbs. Just go down to your local food bank
Since we are on a fixed income now, living in Europe’s most expensive country, we just bring eggs to our local food bank. Go, chickens!
qood work and service .....veqanism is deficient and danqerous for most...especially diabetics
Not so. Read Mayor Adams' book. Dr. Westman tells us keto is possible as a vegetarian.
If the SDA actually believed the Bible, they'd be eating meat! Whether you believe in it or not, the Bible actually commands eating meat in both the old and new testaments.

There is no excuse for Kellogg, he was completely mental.
There is scientific proof that Jesus existed in the flesh on this earth.
The actual truth of Christianity not this seventh-day weirdness going on, meat was the primary source of food back in Jesus day.
I am not a 7th day adventist,at all. I am opposed to veganism i'm in every way.
I'm opposed to seventh day adventism because it's a cult. Ellen g white was a verified charlatan.

It could have had something to do with time. It was getting a little lengthy.
