“Keto and intermittent fasting are so perfectly matched.”

“People can incorporate a protein sparing modified fast day into their week.”

“You are triggering muscle protein synthesis, which is very calorically intensive. So you’re burning more fat on a protein sparing modified fast.”

“There are some unicorns out there, who the more they eat the more they lose weight.”

“If you give someone with bi-polar medications for uni-polar bad things happen.”

“We put you in this box called bi-polar 2 because the things you are experiencing are very similar to all the other people in this box, so we are going to put you in this box and give you the label of bi-polar 2 and then we are going to start experimenting.”

“I became suicidally depressed.”

“Why is nobody asking the critical question?”

“Armed with those two things was what seriously turned my whole life around.” 

“Because I cannot methylate I had been seriously deficient in B vitamins my entire life”

“I do want everyone listening to know that it’s quite possible that you could eliminate or drastically reduce the symptoms of bi-polar and depression and other mental health issues. There is hope.” 

“You can do anything for two weeks.”

“Everything becomes hopeless then because you feel powerless and you feel like “I can’t change it” and so you just throw your hands up, what’s the point? I may as well eat whatever.”

 I am a 64 year old man from Bushey in Hertfordshire. I have been married to my best friend Melanie for 38 years. We have two sons Philip & Oliver and an amazing daughter in law called Kirsty, who is the mother of our beautiful granddaughter Chloe. 

I grew up in a typical North West London Jewish household where food was often used as a bargaining chip. Generally eat up and you’ll get a treat (when a young child) and then told to eat up as there are starving children who will be very happy to eat anything.

At 9 it was discovered I was overweight and was sent to the dietician at The Royal Free who put me on a 1,600 calorie a day diet and so started my YoYo life as a dieter. Until I was in my mid 40’s I would gain and then lose weight trying all types of diets including Slim Fast & Herbal Life, all worked well but the moment I stopped any weight I lost went back on, mind you, it didn’t help that I enjoyed cake and chocolates. I did enjoy playing badminton and cycling. Around this time I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, caused in part by the Slimfast/Herbal Life diets.

Eventually I knew things had to change as I was “eating” the so called healthy diet of 5 a day plus all the “required” wheat and rice etc. I was fortunate to be introduced to Professor Brostoff, a leading immunologist who recommended I stop following the recognised  “healthy” diet as it wasn’t healthy for me and introduced me to the Dukan diet, which was a revelation. I found by becoming gluten free and on a relatively low carb diet my weight improved as did my blood sugars and cholesterol. 

However, as with all lifestyle changes after a while I started to introduce other “Gluten Free” foods which meant my weight went up as I had no idea of the hidden carbs. 

Life continued until one magical day I was introduced to a keto lifestyle and it was like a light bulb went off in my head. These days I am able to keep up an intense level of exercise including running 10k’s, 10 milers, half marathons and in October a full marathon. I find that by following a keto lifestyle I never feel hungry and the selection of foods available is now first class. 

The fact that I can do the level of exercise means that I can be featured most days on/in our daily social media posts for The Move For Wellness.

 Michelle Hurn RD LD, Ultra Runner, Author of The Dietitian’s Dilemma

Michelle Hurn is a registered and licensed dietitian with eleven years of experience as a clinical, acute care dietitian, lead dietitian in psychiatric care, and outpatient dietitian. While practising inpatient and outpatient care in the hospital setting, Michelle discovered a disheartening connection between the high carbohydrate, low fat, “sugar in moderation,” nutrition guidelines she was required to teach, and the rapidly declining health of her patients. 

Michelle is an endurance athlete, and she has competed in 12 marathons. In 2019, Michelle decided to follow a LCHF, high animal protein diet to see if it would alleviate severe muscle pain she was experiencing. Not only was her muscle pain gone in a matter of weeks, her decades of anxiety began to fade. 

Michelle is the author of the book, “The Dietitian’s Dilemma,” detailing how the current nutrition guidelines came into existence and advocating a low carbohydrate, animal-based way of eating as an option for individuals struggling with diabetes, mental disorders, eating disorders, sarcopenia, and heart disease. Michelle won her first Ultra Marathon covering 44.63 miles in a 6-hour time frame. Michelle also won the Tunnel Hill 50 mile race clocking 7.03.01 in 2021.

The Dietitian’s Dilemma: What would you do if your health was restored by doing the opposite of everything you were taught? – Michelle Hurn

“I didn’t feel like I was really helping people.”

“It wasn’t about getting people better.”

“I was mentally broken, physically broken.”

“I am too old to be this naive but I was told “Oh no you can not teach this”.”

“I had the dietician’s dilemma, what do you do? my health was restored, I had information.” 

“I wonder if some of the problems I had, injuries and illnesses and other things, could have been prevented.”

“I’ll never put limits on the human body.”

“Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder.”

“I could never fully participate in my life.”

“The Academy of Nutrition is heavily sponsored by processed food.”

“Every species has a species specific diet.”

“It’s ok to be different – 88% of people have metabolic disease – be weird, be different.”

 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.

 Dr. Ian Lake is a GP in Gloucestershire. He has had a long term interest in preventive medicine. Having Type 1 Diabetes himself, he eventually discovered and was strongly influenced by the book ‘Richard Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution’. He went on a very low carb diet five years ago which he feels has positively transformed his daily diabetes control to near non diabetes levels. He is planning to launch a website to provide information and education about keto diets in type 1 diabetes. He is also a founder member of the Public Health Collaboration, which is a charity dedicated to promoting a real food lifestyle.

Dr Ian explains how Type 1 Diabetes is managed in the UK and how he thinks that there should be alternative options. He recognises that keto doesn’t suit everyone but feels it should be an option for everyone. 

We find out how he discovered keto and his long journey to start. Listen to how it has improved his quality of life, given him less worries and more control over his blood sugar.

“I put the book down for a year, as I felt all of that fat wasn’t healthy.  How little I knew then.”

“The recommendation for carbohydrates is 300 gms of carbohydrates a day roughly for everyone in our country and that is actually based on no science whatsoever.”

“It is so lucky that carbohydrate is the only nutrient that is non-essential, every other nutrient the fat and protein are essential. We have to have certain fats and certain proteins to exist healthily but if we never ate another carbohydrate for the rest of our lives it wouldn’t materially affect our health.”

“We really need to rethink T1 Diabetes management if 9 out of 10 people not achieving targets is acceptable.”

“Life is so much more pleasurable, my blood glucose level goes from alpine to flatline.  It used to be up down, up down, now it is pretty flat all day.  I don’t have to think too much about my diabetes.”

 Lisa is a 52 year old who hails originally from Bournemouth, in the south of England. She is a qualified Personal Trainer, with special certifications in Kettlebell training, HIIT training and Cardio Kickboxing, plus she is also a qualified Naturopathic Nutritionist and Primal Health Coach. 

Years of various illnesses relating to gut health led Lisa to investigate her dietary patterns and, after qualifying as a nutritionist, more research took her on a journey from vegetarian to carnivore with the result of alleviation of all her symptoms.

After suffering an injury to her back many years ago, she turned to strength training to heal her own body, and believes that exercise is an important part of the overall lifestyle and achieving optimal health. 

Lisa got into low carb/keto for health reasons. She had been a vegetarian for 27 years, fortunately she ate eggs. She thought she was doing it for health reasons and environmental reasons. Lisa suffered with IBS symptoms. After training as a personal trainer and nutritionist, she read a lot, which led her to paleo, thinking she had an issue with gluten. She ate paleo as a vegetarian and was constantly tired.

With more research she felt she had to add some meat and fish back into her diet. This wasn’t an easy decision having been a vegetarian for 27 years.  Within 3 weeks her smell and taste came back.

Lisa eats nose to tail and her health has never been better. Lisa believes if you are going to kill an animal then you should make use of the whole animal, plus different parts of the animal have different nutrients.

“The more I researched, the more I thought I am going to have to put some meat and fish back into my diet. It wasn’t an easy decision because 27 years as a vegetarian is a long time.“

 My Name is Mark Felstead, 59 Years Old and until 3 years ago I was a very fit triathlete, often taking part in competitions and thinking I was doing everything right for my body and my health.

For most of my adult life I have exercised and trained regularly, I ate what I thought was a healthy diet, I watched my weight, and I did not smoke…

Things were all to change very suddenly on a Wednesday Evening in August 2018…

I left my home with my racing bike to compete in a local duathlon. I kissed my wife and my daughter goodbye, not knowing it was very nearly the last time I would see them…

2hrs later, as I was nearing the finish line, I collapsed…. Sudden Cardiac Arrest, a so-called Widow Maker. Clinically dead on the spot. 

Luckily (oh so luckily!!) two of my fellow competitors were very quick to act and kept me alive (CPR) until the emergency services arrived (they were also Doctors who helped!!).

I woke up 10 days later out of an induced coma… but that is a story for another time.
