  • This one focuses on hypertension and low carb diets:
    • https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/16/15/2680
• Eating low carb has changed his life for the better since 2012.
  • It's not only helped his physical health, but his mental health as well.
    • He is less anxious, and many of his patients have felt the same.
      • Some of his patients have come off of antidepressants. 
• He puts many of his diabetic and overweight patients on low carb diets to lower their weight and reverse their Type 2 diabetes.
• Dr. Unwin is a runner! He now understands you don't need carbs to be an athlete. 
• He thinks motivation is important -- don't threaten your patients, motivate them in a positive way to get healthier!
  • Don't say "it may well get worse." Say "it can get better and you can feel great! Are you interested?"

THE OBESITY AND DIABETES EPIDEMICS

• When he first started, about 56 people of his 500 patients had diabetes.
  • Now, they have NINE TIMES that.
• During his training, he never saw a Type 2 diabetic below his 50s.
  • Now, they have 20 year olds with serious diabetes.
• Diabetes is an epidemic all over the world.
  • Obesity is another.
    • He's watched it increase in front of his eyes.
    • It's utterly knew to see so many individuals so heavy and unhealthy.
• Obesity and diabetes can't be genetic; we've seen this uptick happen over the past few decades.
  • Then, it must be environmental.
• When he approaches he's patients about their weight, he doesn't take the offensive. 
  • He asks "Is now a good time? I have some information for you."
• He thinks many overweight people have addict-like tendencies.
  • They know this is bad for them, but do not stop.
  • In this way, Dr. Unwin is more sympathetic.
    • People aren't doing this intentionally! 
• A lot of chronic illness, including metabolic syndromes, is changing behavior.
  • This behavior change is key.
• Dr. Unwin thinks diet can change the way you see the world.
