Fabulously Keto

 Nicola Lock was a medical secretary in the NHS for 15 years, primarily in Mental Health Services, and after having her children set up as a freelance medical transcriptionist which she has been doing for the last 20 years, mainly in private healthcare.

Her interest in low carb began about 9 years ago after discovering Michael Mosley’s 8 week blood sugar diet. Over the years she had made several attempts at losing weight by following the recommended low fat, eat less/move more model, which either failed or, if she succeeded initially, she then put the weight back on and was back to square one.

In the New Year of 2019 she decided to try a low carb/real food lifestyle in an attempt to lose the weight that she had once again put on over the Christmas period, and six months later had effortlessly lost about 2 stone (28 lb / 12.5 kg), which she has pretty much maintained since that time.  Although she had no health issues that she was aware of, after becoming low carb she has noticed improvement in her skin as well as improved energy and mental wellbeing.

Nicola has discovered an enthusiasm for learning more about this way of life and has been a member of Nutrition Network since July 2020.  She has completed several of their courses including Nutrition Network Advisor, Obesity: Risks & Reversal, Ethics, Neurology and LCHF for Nurses.  She is currently studying Metabolism and the Mind. 

Nicola has been an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration since October 2020 and since June 2023 has been a health coach for The Lifestyle Club, which is an online programme providing education to empower people diagnosed with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes to potentially put their condition into remission through a real food lifestyle approach.  And recently Nicola has become involved with another PHC project, Liberate, which is a programme designed to help people who feel addicted to ultra processed foods.

 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.

Having suffered multiple concussions (traumatic brain injuries) and PTSD over a 20 year period, as well as living with Ehlers Danlos syndrome, Heather Foley discovered the ketogenic diet in 2010. It had massive benefits on both her mental and physical health, delivering a new level of emotional stability as well as relief from chronic pain.

As a professional physiotherapist and holistic practitioner, Heather now spends her time studying and researching the ketogenic diet for mental health, in order to both empathise and support others on their journeys.

 I’m a retired school teacher (Spanish) and Senior Leader from the state secondary sector with over 35 years teaching experience, often by choice in highly deprived areas, but I have also worked in more affluent areas too.

Whilst working in schools I became more and more concerned during the latter years about how I was seeing young people eat – breakfast was often a 2 litre bottle of coke or cans of energy drink and a family size pack of Haribo or a whole packet of chocolate biscuits. This would then result in many students having massive sugar highs which they freely acknowledged. This brought poor attention span, disruptive behaviour, inability to focus on work or listen and often a massive crash in energy leading to sleepiness and lack of a willingness to do anything. 

This was then compounded by poor sleep due to staying up late on computer games, social media or TV. Children are experiencing the worst health crisis we have ever come across and for the first time ever are likely to live a shorter lifespan than their parents. 

Rates of childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, eating disorders and mental health problems are soaring in our children and yet no one seems to do anything about it. It’s time to put a halt to this and hence The Real Food Rebellion was born- a project that sits within the Public Health Collaboration charity. 

This programme is taught within the school curriculum as timetabled lessons in both Primary and Secondary sectors. We give students the knowledge to understand the difference between real food and ultra-processed food, how to read food labels correctly, how to eat and cook well on a budget and how to fight back against the tyranny of the big food companies and a government in their thrall. 

The pre-pilots for the first phase of the programme are currently running in a number of schools across the country and we are inviting schools to join us for the main Pilot Programme which will run in Summer 2025.

I myself have struggled with an eating disorder from the age of 11 and now at age 61 am starting to feel the physical consequences of this. It stemmed from trauma, societal expectations and the incessant yoyo dieting treadmill. I wish I had known as a teen what the Real Food Rebellion is teaching children now – it could have meant a life free from food addiction and the ensuing misery it brings. If I can save just one child from a lifetime of unhealthy food and illness then that will mean more to me than all the thousands of children out there who have learnt Spanish from me at school!
