Dr. Nicholas Norwitz is an atypical guest. He’s only 25-years old but already holds a PhD from Oxford University in ketogenics and brain metabolism, works as keto coach and a metabolic health practitioner, conducts clinical research, writes papers, and lectures on the international stage, and is now pursuing his MD at Harvard Medical School. But Nick’s academic credentials are only a small part of what makes him interesting. He has his own incredible story of struggling with metabolic diseases. We discuss his personal history in this podcast along with Nick’s thoughts on medicine, healthcare, education, nutrition.

“They said you're a young healthy guy, normal BMI, normal testosterone, weight bearing activities, no family history of osteoporosis.  There's no way you have low bone density. But at that point, we did get a dexa scan and it revealed I did have osteoporosis.”

“You start realising the incentive plan is skewed in a way because the sicker you get, the more I get paid.”

“The reason that doctors think that diet doesn’t make a difference is because they were putting them [their patients] on the wrong diet and it wasn’t working.”

“I realised 80% of the people probably didn’t care what I was saying because they are not going to give up their junk food and what they are doing.”

“We have to change the standard of care.“

“Enjoying the journey, you can’t just wait until the summit to look down and enjoy, you have to take a breath and look around and go WOW I have come a long way.” 

“In 6 months I had 11 people come off insulin.”

“I've seen these, these miracle drugs coming out, they're touted and everyone says “This is gonna change the world” and they come out and kill people and you go, this isn't a good thing.”

"The number one thing they tell me is ‘I'm not hungry all the time and I feel free from food for the first time in my life’. I hear that every day in my career right now."

"It's like when you have success, then they're going to come to you and go ‘what are you doing now?’ They may have thought you were crazy three months ago, but now you have to weather the storm and do what you believe in."

 Jennifer is a principal and founder of Wide Eye Productions, a Northwest digital production company that's been creating successful films since 2000. Jennifer has ushered dozens of projects from concept, through production, to completion- from Emmy Award-winning documentaries, to educational children's programs, to branded entertainment. She knows how to weave images, sound and message into memorable films. 

Most recently, Jennifer directed and wrote "Fat Fiction", a film about the history of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines and the miserable failure of a so-called "low fat heart healthy diet." The film is narrated by 10-Times New York Times best selling author and physician, Mark Hyman and features interviews with world class nutrition experts and science journalists. "Fat Fiction" is available to watch on Amazon Prime where more than 500 five-star reviews rank the film as one of the top nutrition documentaries on the site.

As a child, Jen always thought she had an issue with sugar.  This was especially true when she would crave sweet foods and then have hypoglycemic events. As an adult, she attended a “Quit Sugar” class where she learnt the effects of sugar on health and wellbeing. Now following a low carb way of eating, her digestion is better, no longer getting tired after meals, which she puts down to eliminating sugar and grains from her diet. 

As a film producer and journalist, Jen was motivated to learn more about nutrition, dietary guidelines and their impact on poor health outcomes. She found that we didn’t get the truth about fats, in particular saturated fats and seed oils due to flawed research, corporate and personal interests.  ‘Fat Fiction’ documentary sets the record straight and is told in a clear and accessible way, something a film can do rather than another nutrition book.  The documentary shows first hand how people respond to both high and low carb diets, particularly for those living with Type 2 Diabetes.

We find out how an act of a friend completely changed the health of Charlie’s family, especially for his sick daughter. What started out as joining his friend in eliminating gluten in his diet, led to further investigation and a steep learning curve on nutrition, health and wellbeing. Through his learning he stumbled on Dr Cate Shanahan and the importance of collagen. Charlie is now the founder and partner of CB Supplements which produces the only NSF approved multi-collagen supplement.

 Sheila Docker from The Primal Zone is a certified online primal health and wellness coach.  

For 30 years Sheila suffered with inflammation of the gut that caused constant headaches, bloating, joint and skin issues, together with exhaustion and depression, impacting her ability to work, care for her family and live a vibrant life. However, 10 years ago Sheila turned her life around by healing these challenges, lost 20lbs and transformed her energy and mindset all whilst running a business and raising a family.  

Since 2012, she has been living a primal/paleo/low carb lifestyle, which not only focuses on nutrition, but also mindset, movement and stress triggers.  A complete overhaul, specifically what she was putting in her body and how she was moving it.

She has loved this way of living and the understanding of what choices influence mind, body and soul.  So much so that, Sheila is now an accredited Primal Health Coach, helping others with similar health challenges that are a result of the global epidemic of today's highly sedentary and processed lifestyle.

After a 30-year struggle with inflammatory issues which impacted her mental and physical health, Sheila was frustrated that she could not seem to fix her health problems.  She came across Mark Sisson’s ‘Primal Blueprint’ and changed her way of eating to gluten free where her energy, mental clarity and mindset changed. Her inflammatory issues which had been a lifelong problem were resolved and she is living her best life.

1. Don’t punish yourself - if you’ve eaten something that goes against what you’ve thought is your lifestyle, then enjoy it for what it is, make it the best quality.
2. Be mindful - how that makes you feel.
3. Be gentle on yourself, stop beating yourself up and don’t self sabotage.

Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway: How to Turn Your Fear and Indecision into Confidence and Action - Susan Jeffers

“I wasn’t present at times.”

“I may have missed out on things I could have done with my children that I just wasn't well enough to do.”

“I've been to nutritionists and doctors and to health clinics. I tried everything. What they were actually saying to me to do actually it's completely the opposite to what I'm doing now.”

“Cutting those out - it was tough because we become addicted to those foods.  They are just everywhere. But cutting those out made a huge difference.”

“Junk is the problem, real food is the answer.”

“When you go to a doctor, they don't have time to really dig deep into what your issues may be and what may be causing them. It’s like putting a sticking pla

 Dr Jen Unwin is a chartered clinical and health psychologist. She worked for over 30 years in the NHS and now spends her time researching, campaigning and writing about sugar addiction. She is a founding member of the Public Health Collaboration, a UK charity campaigning for better public health advice. Her and her husband Dr David Unwin, a GP have been helping the patients in his practice adopt low carb diets to reverse their diabetes. This work has resulted in several published papers and numerous conference and media appearances. She has recently published a book called 'Fork in the Road' which is a guide for people with sugar/carb addiction. All profits are for the PHC. 

Dr Jen Unwin is a Clinical Psychologist and lifelong carbohydrate addict. She noticed that if she came off plan it was hard to get back to it. She knew about addiction in her work as a psychologist but hadn’t linked it to food. Once Dr Jen became aware that sugars and carbohydrates can truly be addictive, she looked into more. Dr Jen trained with Bitten Jonsson a holistic addiction specialist. They recognised that the same problems a person has with alcohol or drugs can also happen with sugars and carbs.

Dr Jen explains that some sugar and carb addicts have to be careful with sweeteners, nuts, dairy and alcohol as they too can influence the brain pathways.

“So I'm a bit of an all or nothing person. So I did the whole cold turkey thing, straight onto low carb. Had about eight days of feeling pretty grim. But then the lights came on, the colour came on. And I felt amazing.”

“It’s essentially the sugars that are the most addictive thing.”

“What's addiction?  It's about this kind of compulsion and a difficulty resisting carrying out those behaviours even when you don't want to.  You know, you're doing something that you know is harming your mental and physical health but still you do it.”

Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution: The No-hunger, Luxurious Weight Loss Pla

 Nikola is an award winning coach, author, speaker, human physiology mentor, educator, woman in technology, orchid obsessive, and has been low carb since 1999. She is on a mission to free people from Diet Prison, remove the linguistically horrific words “weight loss” from common usage and her mission statement is to ‘assist the UK to eat itself healthy.”

Nikola also wants to disrupt the diet industry paradigm and move us away from guilt and shame when it comes to food and our bodies. She is one of the only people working within the diet industry to work on the mental/mindset side of body composition management, to break people away from “victim mentality” and so ensure long term success.

This week’s episode, we catch up with Nikola Howard.  She recently earned an award as  Nutrition Coach Mentor of the Year and is on a mission to ‘assist the UK to eat itself healthy’ by disrupting the diet industry. 

When Nikola chose her mission at the beginning of 2020 to be to empower the UK to eat itself healthy, she didn’t realise how vital that statement would be. Sars Covid 2 affects people more if they have underlying health issues. Nikola explains that eating a low carb, real food way of eating helps heal some of the health issues we face.

Nikola’s aim is for people to have long term success not just short term weight loss. Her model is you get healthy, you get your optimal body back and you get an empowered mindset so that you don’t need to fail and keep coming back. She helps people to succeed.

Nikola has some e-books here:
