This week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr Glen Davies, one of New Zealand’s most vocal champions for reversing type 2 diabetes through therapeutic carbohydrate reduction.
From rural general practice to a mission hospital in Papua New Guinea, Glen’s clinical journey has been anything but conventional—but it was discovering the power of low-carb and fasting that made him “feel like a healer” again. Since then, he’s helped over 115 patients in Taupō put type 2 diabetes into remission—an achievement that’s not only reshaped his practice, but challenged the conventional approach to chronic disease management. He was named General Practitioner of the Year in 2021.
In this conversation, we explore what "remission" really means in clinical terms, the systems that help sustain it, and the biomarkers that shift most consistently. Glen also shares insights on the psychology of behaviour change, the risks and rewards of keto, and the real-world barriers to scaling this model across New Zealand. They also have a frank conversation of the level of knowledge that GPs have to prevent and treat the modern day health crisis that NZ (like most countries) is facing.
