“A misconception is that migraine is a pulsating, throbbing headache, it’s not..”

“Your body wants to heal and if you remove the symptoms then the symptoms will become stronger.”

“There is only one reason for a migraine for everyone. It is always going to be associated with what is potentially causing an electrolyte imbalance.”

“Migraineurs still have these heightened sensory organs. We simply haven’t adapted the same way as the people who don’t have migraines.”

“You are a migraineur because you live in an environment that is not appropriately prepared for your adaptation.”

“If you are able to avert the early morning migraine, which is when the majority of the migraines start, then you have averted more than 50% of migraines.”

“Migraineurs excrete 50% more sodium than non migraineurs.”

We would love to know if you have a favourite guest you would like us to interview. Let us know who you would like to hear of if you have a particular topic you would like us to cover.

 Peter Ballerstedt (also known as Don Pedro, the Sodfather of the Ruminati) earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Georgia and his doctorate at the University of Kentucky. He was the forage extension specialist at Oregon State University from 1986 to 1992. He currently works in the forage seed industry.

Peter’s personal experience has led him to re-examine human diet and health. What he has learned doesn’t agree with the advice given for the past several decades. Peter is an advocate for ruminant animal agriculture and the essential role of animal source foods in the human diet. 

He strives to build bridges between producers, consumers, and researchers across a wide variety of scientific disciplines – increasing awareness of metabolic health and ruminant animal agriculture’s essential role in social, economic and ecological sustainability. Peter has spoken at many different events in the US and internationally. Many of his presentations are available on YouTube.

“I saw a bad future ahead  of me.”

“Nothing that I have learned since says this isn’t an appropriate way for me to be eating.”

“The vast majority of their feed is not human utilisable.”

“Cereals are an important food stuff in the current landscape but I would argue that it’s poor quality nutrition compared to the meat and milk we can get by feeding that small amount to ruminant animals.”

“It’s critical for people to understand that the protein we get from plants is of lesser quality, almost universally than the protein that we get from animal sourced foods.”

“You can’t replace food production with food processing.”

“When people say “Our diet should be plant based”, my response is “It already is!””

“It’s remarkable how little land we have that can support the production of crops that we can eat directly.”

“It’s not well appreciated just how poor a source of essential nutrients, most of what comes under the plant sourced food is.”

“Sick is now the new normal.”

“Be sure to take your daily MEDS – meat, eggs, dairy, seafood.”

“If you are going to exclude all animal sourced foods, now you are in some very tricky and complicated territory.”

 Dr. Ian Lake is a GP in the UK. Having Type 1 Diabetes himself, he adopted a ketogenic lifestyle 7 years ago, which he feels positively transformed his daily diabetes control to near non-diabetes levels. He runs a website dedicated to providing information about ketogenic lifestyles in Type 1 diabetes and this month is launching a comprehensive course for healthcare professionals.

He self-experiments on ketogenic diets in type 1 diabetes and in 2019 he completed a 5-week solo and unsupported run covering over 700 miles on just 9% carbohydrate. In 2020 he took it to a whole new level by organising the zerofive100 project, a 100-mile team run over five days fully fasted with zero calories.

“I always thought I could outrun it”

“I have absolutely nothing to lose.”

“It’s downhill all the way from here.”

“The realisation that you can manage your type 1 diabetes very, very well indeed with something simple like a diet has sustained me through the past 7 years.”

“People who are on a keto diet have 6 times fewer hypos.”

“Getting it wrong on a high insulin regimen is much more serious than getting it wrong on a low insulin regimen which is keto.”

“93% of people go into a clinic and the general advice is for high carb diets.”

“19% of doctors said they don’t recommend a keto diet because it is unsustainable or bland, where’s the science in that?”

“You can eat anything but whether you should be eating anything or everything is a different matter.”

“60% of people have done this alone with any help from any clinician at all.”

“Diabetic Ketoacidosis can happen in any person with diabetes if you get ill enough but as a result of the diet itself.”

The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week journal to support new habits – Jackie

 I recently featured in a book written in the UK by Dr David Cavan. This was the piece which covered quite a bit of my background.

In 2005, Mark left his job at a bank to become a self-employed financial adviser. He feels that the stress of the job combined with his already unhealthy lifestyle, contributed to the diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes in 2010 when he was just 39. At that time, he weighed 102kg (224 pounds). He says “I felt sluggish, overweight, tired and just felt run down. I had symptoms of diabetes such as repeated thrush and a tingly foot. I didn’t realise how bad I felt though until I got better.”

When he was diagnosed, he was advised to follow the Eatwell guide and lost weight probably because he cut out all the unhealthy takeaways. He also threw himself into long distance running, joining the local parkrun and completing The Great South Run, a 10-mile road race in Portsmouth, every year. The running, together with medication appeared to keep his weight and blood sugar under control until 2016, when they both started to increase again. He was told that his condition was progressing, and he would need to increase his medication.

All changed, however, when he happened to hear Dr Michael Mosley being interviewed on the radio. He explained that people with diabetes have been advised to eat the wrong foods, and that it was these foods that were leading to the condition being chronic and progressive. “As I’d been threatened with more drugs, I felt I had nothing to lose. I bought “The 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet” and gave it a go. I cut out all bread, pasta, rice and sugar. No more breakfast cereals and no potatoes with my dinner. I started cooking too which was a first for me. I realised that preparing meals isn’t as difficult as I thought, and I enjoyed the reward of eating what I’d cooked rather than putting a ready-meal in the oven for 20 minutes. The changes in my weight and blood sugar levels were very quick. I didn’t find it too hard. I can be tempted to eat the wrong things and if out with friends I won’t get too anxious over what I eat, but I don’t let that allow me to “fall off the wagon” for days on end. I’m lucky like that but I think you need to know yourself and whether you can have the odd thing without undoing all your good work.”

He lost nearly 20kb (44 pounds) in weight and his diabetes is now in remission. He feels much better, both mentally as well as physically. “In 2018, I was invited to parliament to speak alongside Professor Roy Taylor and Dr David Unwin and others who had found evidence for diet reversing diabetes. If you had asked me previously to stand up in front of audiences or push myself forward like that, I would have avoided it and thought of any reason to get out of it. My confidence just wasn’t there. I feel like a fog lifted from my head in 2016 and I now find myself doing all manner of things and I absolutely love it. I put this down to how I now feed not only my body but my brain too.”

Mark also became an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration, and this has opened many doors to help others put their type 2 diabetes into remission. For the past 3 years he has been working with his local Primary Care Network to put on a low carb programme for patients which, combined with movement, combatting stress and prioritising a good night’s sleep, has led to some wonderful outcomes. “So far, we have run 16 groups with an average of around a dozen participants in each group. The first 20 patients alone lost an average of 9 kg (20 pounds) in weight and reduced their HbA1c by 19 mmol/mol (1.8%). It is truly heart-warming to see how happy people are, now they have a plan that works. I’m now a Health and Wellbeing Coach and employee of the NHS. I never would have believed it!”

Recently I’ve been working on a project through the Public Health Collaboration to create a new running group for the real food eate

 Dave Feldman is an Senior Software Engineer turned Citizen Scientist. After seeing his cholesterol skyrocket on keto, he began obsessively researching lipidology and through a series of experiments have demonstrated unprecedented data which is now building toward the larger Lipid Energy Model. This concept is now being explored with collaborating researchers and may potentially help explain much of the phenomenon around high cholesterol on a low carb, ketogenic diet.

“I identify the triad, which is the combination of three markers: the high LDL cholesterol; high HDL cholesterol and low triglycerides”

“Even proposing the possibility that there’s a context in which this may not be the case is already hugely controversial.”

“I just thought it was only a matter of getting it to the right person and they would just take it from there.”

“I am cautiously optimistic with regard to the risk as it associates with high LDL resulting from metabolic fat adaptation.”

“Typically high HDL and low triglycerides associates with good metabolic health whatever diet you are on.”

“I am thinking like an engineer, I am thinking about it from a systemic standpoint I am saying “Look forget about whether triglyceride rich lipoproteins are atherogenic. I think the state of existence where you are having trouble parking your triglycerides in your adipocytes is a systemic state of atherogenicity.”

“If I had to pick a marker that I would probably look at in succession it would probably be insulin.”

“I am glad that there is more and more of a focus on metabolism in general.”

“I am still shocked that insulin isn’t a part of every major blood test or even basic blood test.”

“Why weren’t we testing for insulin.”

“I’ve got a bright light to throw on this, which is the low carb movement itself. The low carb movement is, in my opinion, maybe one of the biggest grassroots scientific movements of it’s time, maybe in human history.”

“Part of metabolic health is understanding your metabolism. It is not trying to find these exact guidelines and getting focused on that. In fact that’s part of what got us into this mess.”

 The current decline in our nation’s health makes me frustrated, furious and fired up to create change!

I am driven by a feeling of duty, to pass on the knowledge I have gained in turning my own health around (I was obese for over 25 years) to others. To do this, I spend most of my working days on several different approaches to health education.

I am passionate about preventing and reversing, diabetes type 2, obesity and metabolic syndrome across the UK. Therefore, I spend my working days on several different approaches. I created an organisation called Health Results to help people explore, measure, and improve their metabolic health and I am a benefactor to two charities the Public Health Collaboration (PHC) and the Colourful Life Foundation.

I am a dad to 7 wonderful children, 2 adorable grandchildren and husband to a great wife. My day job after the morning school run is following my passion to educate our country about metabolic health and I also executively chair several companies that I previously founded. I love adventures too, and have trekked to the North Pole, sailed across the Atlantic, undertook some mammoth Strive Challenges and more recently, along with several members of the PHC cycled 500 miles in five days with Zero calories! See “Zero five 500” on YouTube.

* I have wrote several health books, Primal Cure, Britain is Sick, Primal Gourmet and more recently Fat & Furious.

* In 2020 I founded Health Results to help the nation get healthier.

www.healthresults.com

*I am a patron and main benefactor to the charity PHC (Public Health Collaboration), which aims to put prevention at the heart of the nation’s healthcare system.

In a Previous life….

* Owner & CEO of the UK’s fastest growing company 1996 “Sunday Times”

* Created jungle.com in 2000, built to £100 million in annual sales, then sold to Argos

* Created Gempoia, which floated in 2006

* Started Colourful Life Charity in 2011 and over the past 11 years have built 14 schools in India, 4 in Tanzania and 1 in South Africa. Our charity has Sir Richard Branson as its sole patron and we currently have over 13,800 children studying at our schools.

* 2011 E&Y Turnaround Entrepreneur of the year

*Owner & CEO of the UK’s fastest growing company 2012 “Sunday Times”

* Walked to the North Pole 2014

*Owner & CEO of PCW International Business of the Year 2014

* Stepped down as CEO 2018 to focus on studying health (especially my own)

* Bought back Gemporia, built it to £100m turnover and in 2019 so as to concentrate on getting the nation healthy, transferred 75% of ownership to employees.

 Graham Phillips BPharm FRPharmS is a second generation community pharmacist. He describes himself as “The Pharmacist who Gave Up Drugs! “

Having played a very senior leadership role in the pharmacy profession he became disillusioned with the NHS one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare with its emphasis on waiting for symptoms to arise before treating (suppressing?) them with drugs. He pioneered a new approach using his scientific knowledge, clinical expertise and new technology which resulted in the ProLongevity service. 

The ProLongevity programme helps people who want to lose weight, improve wellbeing and avoid/reverse diabetes, by using new technology to monitor real-time blood sugar  levels.  We provide personalised advice based on your data to help you make changes to your diet and lifestyle. We avoid traditional approaches that treat symptoms after the damage has been done.  Prevention is better than cure.

Graham has two sons, one is also a pharmacist and the other a corporate lawyer. He lives with his partner, Karen (a GP also passionate about lifestyle medicine) in North London.

Like Jackie,  Graham is also an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration. He believes that the world has become dominated by Big Food on the one hand (makes you sick) and  Big Pharma on the other (makes you 10% better). In the end science must prevail.

The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week jour

 Seven years ago, Ede Fox turned her life around with a ketogenic/carnivore diet. Decades of compulsive consumption of refined carbs and junk food led to obesity, joint pain, rising blood pressure & blood sugar, plus out of control asthma, allergies and eczema. 

Now at 50, she has reversed all those conditions, has tons of energy, lost 80 pounds and most importantly has a healthy way of eating that is sustainable for a lifetime! Ede is now on a mission to help others lose weight, end chronic pain and inflammation, reverse disease and get off medications. 

Ede runs an online carnivore community, hosts a Podcast, a weekly livestream on Youtube and you can find her on Instagram @blackcarnivore.

“I care very much for human customs and rituals.”

“I feel that I was told that I would have high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease and diabetes because I am black.”

“I said to myself I have got to figure out something, what I am doing is not working.”

“There could be a significant difference between being almost carnivore and actually.”

“On day 2, I suddenly felt like I could breathe, I felt amazing.”

“You have to match what you are eating to your goals.”

“It’s like a cup, many of us come to carnivore very ill and so our cups are filled almost to the brim and you pour any little thing in and you are going to have overflow.”

“If you listen to carnivore stuff everyone is always talking about beef.”

“The reason we talk about beef is because it literally makes you feel better.”

“Don’t let a day go by without the beef.”

“Variety doesn’t have to be eating different kinds of animals, variety can be eating different parts of the same animal.”

“I do encourage people to really listen to your body and the signs and signals that your body is giving you.”

“We live in a world where we are being constantly pushed and queued to eat sugar.”

 Dr Kim Andrews has been a GP at the Freshwell Health Centre in Essex since 2003. She has also previously worked as a GP with a special interest in Diabetes alongside diabetes consultants in Mid Essex.

She has been promoting low carb dietary advice to her patients for the last 4 years since her own father lost over 4 stone using low carb after a lifetime of obesity. She now enjoys watching her patients transform their lives using this method. She particularly enjoys deprescribing of diabetes and blood pressure medications and has seen 58 Freshwell patients in Type 2 remission.

She co-founded the “Freshwell Low Carb Project” in 2019 and has written two recipe books/meal planners to help support her patients to make positive lifestyle changes.

Dr David Oliver has been GP partner at the Freshwell Health Centre in Essex since 2004. He has been promoting low carb dietary advice to his patients for the last four years. Not only have the benefits for patients been transformative and spectacular, it’s also been an uplifting and exhilarating experience for him professionally.

He co-founded the “Freshwell Low Carb Project” in 2019. He developed the Freshwell low carb website and the Freshwell low carb app as tools to help patients on their low carb journey.

He is chair of his local Primary Care Network, an organisation involving 6 local practices, who have employed two health and wellbeing coaches who help deliver structured low carb education programme to their patients.
