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.

 Dr Gary Fettke

M.B.,B.S.(University NSW), F.R.A.C.S.(Orthopaedic Surgery), F.A.Orth.A. 

Dr Gary Fettke is an Orthopaedic Surgeon and vocal proponent of nutrition being a major component of prevention and management of modern disease.

In 2014, he became targeted by the processed food industry for his opinion on the perils of excessive sugar consumption, culminating in a ‘silencing’ by the Medical Board. 2018 saw a clearance of those charges with an apology from the board. In the process of that investigation, it became apparent that the issues were not just that of sugar reduction but that of the recommendation of animal-based protein and healthy fats in a balanced diet.  

He has a broad understanding of the vested interests shaping dietary guidelines.

“This is the biochemistry. I am not making this stuff up. What’s written on a packet, that’s called advertising, that’s made up. The food guidelines are just made up.”

“We are poisoning our patients”

“This is so flamin’ obvious even an orthopedic surgeon can put this together”

“I admit I got it wrong, I got it wrong big time. I’ve apologised to my patients, I’ve apologised to my children”

“Eat fresh, local, seasonal whole food based on your culture and environment avoiding added sugar and processed food”

“I got reported to the medical board on three occasions for advising my patients to not eat sugar and considering low carb. One of those times I got reported was for inappropriately reversing someone’s type two diabetes.”

“Hospital food is crap and it is killing my patients”

“You can track osteoarthritis by the migration of the potato”

“Whoever controls the protein, controls the people”

“Science evolves by being challenged not by being followed”

 Kev Mason, or KetoKev as he has become more known as, is a Ketogenic Health and Fitness Coach. After serving 13 years in the British Army and reaching a massive 131kg, he realised after leaving that something needed to be done. He discovered the Paleo Diet and from then he dropped 10kg without effort or going to the gym.  

Once he started losing the weight he decided to look further into health and fitness, and discovered the ketogenic diet. At first he was slightly apprehensive about high amounts of fat but decided to go for it. Nothing happened apart from gaining weight. Confused about this newfound “wonder diet” he looked deeper and deeper into how to optimize keto for the best result.  

Trying and failing a few times he finally nailed the right path of a higher protein and med to high fat ratio then things started to happen but Kev still had a skeleton in his closet. 

He still consumed alcohol and in March 2019 after being threatened with divorce he sunk to the lowest point of his life, he took charge of his life, quit drinking and applied all the knowledge he had into building a Keto group to help himself and others. 

He gained qualifications and diplomas in The Ketogenic Diet & Diabetes recognition and treatment, began courses in Red Light Therapy, Cold exposure, personal training and the gut brain connection. He began coaching clients and started turning lives around including his own. 

With a facebook group of over 15,000 people and private coaching groups he now creates content and information to help as many people as he can. Although not a qualified Chef, Kev has had formal training with Jeremy Ravenshaw-Fowler and would rather be known as a Cuisinier rather than a Chef.

 Nicola Lock was a medical secretary in the NHS for 15 years and then set up as a freelance/self employed medical transcriptionist which she has been doing for the last 17 years, mainly in the private sector.

Her interest in low carb began about 6 years ago after discovering Michael Mosley’s 8 week blood sugar diet. Over the years she has made several attempts at losing weight which either failed or if she succeeded initially she then put the weight back and was back to square one.

In the New Year of 2019 she threw herself into low carb in an attempt to lose weight and six months later had lost 23lbs, which she has kept off (give or take a few pounds). Although she had no initial health issues after being low carb she has noticed improvement in her skin as well as improved energy and wellbeing.

Nicola has been a member of the Nutrition Network since July 2020 and has completed several of their courses including Nutrition Network Advisor, Obesity: Risks & Reversal, Ethics and Neurology. Nicola has been a PHC ambassador since October 2020 and has become involved in the Unwins low carb group.

 After 40 years on a diet, yo-yoing up and down the scale, Renée Jones had learned every diet – and every cheat – before finally stopping the comfort and stress eating to shed “those last 30 pounds” yet AGAIN in 2012 but this time, she has maintained at her goal weight.   Now she helps others overcome their emotional eating to shed their weight AND keep it off.

Renée has a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Clinical Residency in pastoral care to guide her international coaching practice of traditional and contemporary models as well as relaxation and horse-assisted methods.  Her book, What’s Really Eating You: Overcome the Triggers of Comfort Eating, is an Amazon bestseller, and her TEDx talk helps her reach people around the world.

“There are many other things that can bring us comfort or stress relief. It’s not always food. It’s just easy. It’s available. It’s legal.”

“When you face your stuff, you no longer have to stuff your face for comfort or stress relief.”

“I can put whatever I want in my mouth, I get to control that. So we work on, ‘okay, is this the outcome you want?”

“One of my favourite questions that helps me as well as them is: is that who you want to be?”

“My goal is always to help them heal their heart, so they can do it on their own.”

“When I was about 10 years old, I looked around at all the other little girls, and I was a redhead. So I was already different to everyone else. And I was also chunky. And all the other blonde and brunette girls were thin. And I thought I don’t want to be chunky.”

“I did that for 40 stinking years”

“I ran across some really good advice, which was: only eat when you’re hungry. I thought if I could do that, I wouldn’t have a problem.”

“I think that we have a global pandemic beyond COVID, and that is low self-esteem.”

“It’s a culturally approved sin [eating].”

“This is what my grandmother told me back in the 70s, to just watch your sugars and starches and you’ll be fine.”

“I haven’t been depressed and I have a brighter outlook. This is weird. I don’t understand it. But I’ve basically stayed keto since then. I’ll have an occasional time when I have a few more carbs here and there. But I always come back to keto because it makes me feel so good.”

“Anytime we get an opportunity to look at it differently, we have an opportunity to grow.”

“Emotional baggage is a thing. If you don’t want it to control you,
