In today’s passionate conversation, Dr Mary is joined by self-proclaimed “crazy eyes” low carb zealot, Dr Penny Figtree, to discuss how the pharmaceutical industry and the food products industry have infiltrated and corrupted our health in their relentless pursuit of profits. Listen as Dr Penny eloquently pulls back the curtain to expose the stronghold the pharmaceutical industry has over the medical profession, and how unwitting doctors have become sales people for these corporations. Discover the detrimental health consequences stemming from the pervasive and powerful food industry, intent on pushing non-nutritive manufactured products while demonising the real food staples that have provided sustenance and nourishment to humanity for countless millennia. Dr Penny makes it easy to understand why so many of us are on a seemingly inevitable path of declining health. You’ll hear how stumbling across the carbohydrate insulin model of obesity led Dr Penny to see the profound effect of nutrition on her patients’ health, and how she now embraces her role as a low carb enthusiast, unapologetically driving positive change. You’ll be inspired to reject the role of ‘consumerism unit’ for these powerful industries as Dr Penny gives us permission to step away from the cereals and orange juice, and nourish ourselves with lamb chops for breakfast instead! This is a brilliant episode with a fiery Dr Mary and a passionate Dr Penny inviting you to challenge the status quo, get reacquainted with the deli meats at your supermarket, rekindle your love for traditional meat and veg, ditch the bird seed, and discover the empowering alternatives that lie in embracing real food and a low carb lifestyle.
