Enjoy this interview I recorded with Sarah for the 2021 Low Carb Lifestyle Long Weekend Summit.

Sarah has recently completed her PhD in public health nutrition at AUT, entitled: "Healthy mouth, healthy body: towards integrated dietary approaches".  

Several papers for publication were generated from this body of work. She lives in Taupo, where she is an advocate for dietary lifestyles incorporating low-carbohydrate healthy fat eating approaches for the prevention of chronic disease.  

She is currently pursuing research opportunities in community-based child health research. This thesis has contributed to the body of knowledge in nutrition and dental caries.  Disease burdens in New Zealand children, and separate dietary factors associated with harm, and benefit for oral and general health were investigated.  

A high and frequent intake of refined, processed carbohydrates is implicated in poor oral and general health through the life course. There is a paucity of interventions that addressed the simultaneous prevention of both dental caries and poor general health using dietary behaviour change.  

In addition, preventive efforts are undermined by government-endorsed advice to reduce consumption of foods associated with health benefits, and the simultaneous endorsement of foods associated with harm.   

Novel strategies were designed to compare the health and nutrition knowledge of children, parents, and health professionals for oral and general health.  Nutrition knowledge was aligned with recommendations in government-endorsed health promotion initiatives.  

Oral hygiene practices were regarded as more important than dietary factors for caries prevention.  Barriers experienced by children and adults for healthy eating included the ubiquity of ultra-processed food products.  

Strategies that address the public health challenge of chronic disease through the life course should encompass evidence regarding dietary factors, knowledge, barriers, and consideration of the food environments within communities.

Here are two papers Sarah has had published associated with the thesis; several more are in submission:

If you have followed me for a while, you will know that I am passionate about showing that health is not just about nutrition. There are many pieces to the puzzle, and what Brett shares today may be one of them for you!

Learn about Brett:

A chance meeting allowed Brett to leave his career as an electrician and embark on his passion for bodywork, treating the broken-down and injured bodies of high profile athletes. Little did Brett know that this work would one day be the training ground he needed to overcome his greatest challenge yet - rebuilding his own body after an horrific accident that left him with paralysis down the right leg.

Flat on his back and knowing the mechanics of the body, combined with the awareness of rhythmic breathing & the nervous system (from his days as an electrician), Brett went to work.

Utilising the power of the mind to reconnect his neutral pathways, Brett optimised the alternate breathing rhythms to mentally stitch his back up like a zipper. Unable to physically move, his mind & breath were very active rebuilding broken neural connections!

Within 18 months after that devastating injury, Brett was running again (with NO emphasis on running fast or far) using the breath and visualisation to regenerate and repair his body. TriBreath officially became a reality. Since then, Brett has gone on to teach thousands of people the art of TriBreath, and has made it his mission to teach others how to reverse the collapse of the body from aging and from past and present injuries. Including facilitating workshops for The Australian Lung Foundation with Gold Coast City Council, where Brett provided lung and respiratory health techniques as part of a statewide health initiative to reverse the statistics of the 1600 lung related deaths in Queensland alone.

He has been featured on ABC Gold Coast radio 91.7FM and more recently, ABC Compass - A Pilgrimage to Tibet, where Brett assisted everyday Australians embarking on a sacred pilgrimage to Tibet on their breathing techniques, in preparation for the high altitudes.

Brett is running an online class on Monday 23/8 on his wall work! Join here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/regenerative-wall-work-session-tickets-165238519861

Join Amber and I in this pre recorded chat we had all around her carnivore experience. Amber, Lone Star Keto Girl, has had a true transformation going from the SAD diet to Low Carb, Keto and now Carnivore. She helps others do the same, and also has a hugely successful podcast, Lone Star Keto. She's a lot of fun and has so much knowledge to share.

Howdy y'all! My name is Amber. I'm 54, married and have 2 adult kids and a 2 year old granddaughter. I'm a nutritionist, carnivore & IF coach, podcast host, a raw dog food specialist, and a huge keto and carnivore enthusiast. I've battled with weight issues since I was 10 years old. That's over 40 years, y'all!

Not to mention dealing with multiple eating/exercise disorders. I've tried pretty much every diet out there at some point. I've lost 80 - 100lbs 4 times. 3 were via Weight Watchers with the same exact results--gaining all or most of it back, sometimes more. Gotta love the low fat, high carb, processed food filled Standard American Diet.

At my heaviest I was over 240 lbs and wore a size 26. That's pretty major considering I'm only 5'2". My health suffered horribly as well. I became hypertensive (210/110) & pre-diabetic. At one point, I was taking 4 medications for my high BP. I had major acid reflux and took Nexium every day for 8 years. My rosacea was severe and a great embarrassment. I developed Reynaud's syndrome which was very uncomfortable when I got too cold.

My fingers and toes would turn white and sting like a body part that has fallen asleep. But even worse than the physical pain was the emotional and psychological pain I endured. I was depressed and spent a good 20 years of my life hiding from the world. I became a spectator of my own life. Watching on the sidelines instead of living.

All that changed when I stumbled across keto. I started my keto journey July of 2017. To say it was a life-changer is a huge understatement. I knew the first week that I had found a gold mine Along the keto journey, I was able to get off Nexium and 3 of my BP meds. My stomach issues and rosacea greatly improved, I lost 65 lbs in 8 months, and my depression was gone.

I was no longer pre-diabetic. I was also able to maintain my weight loss longer than I ever had without any worry I wouldn't be able to sustain it. The Reynaud's disappeared as well. Since I still had a little healing to do and a friend kept pestering me to give carnivore a try, I transitioned into it March 2019. I'm now off all medications. I only take a Mg and collagen supplement.

I have zero stomach issues and the rosacea is almost gone! I've never felt better. I used to think back on the past and feel great sadness for all I missed out on. But now I think of it as preparing me to be able to relate and help others. And if I can inspire just one person to make positive health changes and not have to suffer like I did, then everything I do is worth it!

Dr Chaffee is an American medical doctor, specializing in Neurosurgery, who over a span of 20 years has researched the optimal nutritional habits for athletic performance and health, and it is his assertion that most of the so called chronic diseases we treat as doctors these days are actually caused by the food we eat, or don't eat, and can be reversed easily with dietary changes.

He began his University education studying Molecular & Cellular Biology with a Minor in Chemistry at the University of Washington in Seattle at the age of 15, which culminated in attaining his MD from the Royal College of Surgeons in 2013. He is an All-American rugby player and a former professional player in England and America; having taken several years off from his education for sports between his undergraduate and medical degrees.

He also has a background in MMA, training with the world renowned Matt Hume at AMC Kickboxing in Kirkland, Washington from the age of 14. Though he gave this up at 18 to more seriously pursue rugby, the skills and lessons he learned there served as the basis of his springboard to professional rugby, not least of which was being able to defend himself on the field when violence wasn't as well regulated in the game as it is today. Throughout his athletic career, he saw first hand the massive difference that diet made to performance and recovery, and almost accidentally came across and practiced a fully carnivorous diet from age 20 to 25, having first learned of the toxic nature of all plants at the University of Washington.

Since then he has rediscovered this truth and more, and has dedicated many years and a large part of his professional practice to the study and education of diet and nutrition, and personally practices a fully carnivorous diet again today, with amazing results. He currently resides in Perth, Australia where he specializes in Neurosurgery and does private consultations and clinics in functional medicine and nutrition.
