    This week on the podcast I speak to Dr David Unwin about his phenomenal work in the medical space with reversing type 2 diabetes. He works at the Norwood NHS Surgery in Southport near Liverpool, UK where he has cared for the same population since 1986 as a family doctor. Along the way he has received both criticism for his approach and accolades for it, being the winner of prestigious awards for his effectiveness. Mikki and Dr Unwin chat about his approach and its success on today’s podcast.

    Dr David Unwin is an internationally renowned family doctor at the Norwood NHS Surgery in Southport near Liverpool, UK, for using a carbohydrate-reduction approach with his patients with prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.
    For the past few years, David has been a UK Royal College of General Practitioners expert clinical advisor on diabetes. As a result of his interests in both better communication with patients and Type 2 diabetes he was made Royal College of General Practice National Champion for Collaborative Care and Support Planning in Obesity & Diabetes in 2015. In 2016 he was the proud UK National winner of the NHS Innovator of The Year Award for published research into lifestyle changes; working with patients’ personal health goals as an alternative to drug therapy in type 2 diabetes –so that his GP practice spends £68,000 per year less than expected on drugs for diabetes.

    Mini Mikkipedia - on my mind this week
    Jul 7 2024
    People say that age is just a number. And I agree - it's how you live your life that determines how young or old you are. Part of that is of course what you eat. How you eat. How much you eat. And how you feel. On that note, in celebration of my 47th birthday, I'm giving you 47% OFF my subscription plans until end of play Monday.Use the code MIKKI47 for this awesome deal on my FLOW (fat loss plan for women), my Man Plan (fat loss plan for, you guessed it, men), my real food plan and my athlete plan. Find these options here and use the code MIKKI47 (it IS case sensitive)Also - because I like to share what's on my mind... here's 47 things I've been thinking about.Eating: is always ‘opportunity cost’ Most people need to eat more proteinSome women are afraid to eat meat for fear of gaining weightThere are good and bad foods, and eating them doesn’t make you a good or bad personIt’s not enough to eat one of those steam locked bags of vegetables at dinner and call it ‘good’Weetbix shouldn’t be a meal. Neither should toastSometimes ‘good enough’ isn’t actually good enough - to reach your goals you have to do betterYou can’t get everything you need from foodThe people that take notice of the ‘eat less red meat’ messages are those that need to eat it the mostMost people could do with eating less carbs20g of protein in a meal is not a high protein mealMost people under-report the amount of alcohol they drinkFor most people, they don’t need to be perfect, they just need to be consistentDon’t rely on one source of truth for your nutrition adviceGetting your nutrition advice from someone whose course was a week long is fine, until something goes wrong.Why call it a ‘cheat meal’ if you’re only ‘cheating’ yourselfIf you have toast for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch, you need to rethink your nutrition strategyThose small tins of tuna/salmon are not a high protein optionMost people have an opinion on nutrition because they eat. You can’t be healthy at any size if you don’t exerciseThose snack choices on a short haul flight are unnecessary and you don’t need to be eating a cookieIf you care about your cholesterol, cut down on your carbohydrate intakeNot everyone needs to lower their saturated fat intakeIn nutrition, there are people and organisations who have an agenda that isn’t related to your healthRed meat isn’t high in saturated fat, actuallyMost processed food doesn’t contain saturated fat as it’s quite expensiveIf you don’t exercise, you aren’t healthy, even if you are leanYou don’t need to be entertained by every single mealFamily history is a big predictor in a lot of disease-states, however your genes are not your destinyIt’s never too late to changeBe wary of anyone who speaks in black and white, and won’t change their opinion in the face of new informationCardio is really important for your heart and long term health and it’s wise to do that alongside your resistance trainingMuesli bars/granola bars aren’t a good snack choiceIf you live in NZ you need to take a vitamin D supplement and you need more than the dose that we are allowed to sellMost people don’t need to snack, but athletes could do with that fourth eating opportunityThe iron supplement you get from your doctor is not the only choice for ironWhy are there ‘kids menus’ at restaurants?Your high blood pressure is as likely linked to a high carbohydrate load as it is your salt intakeSome women train just fine fastedFor some people, intermittent fasting is the best approach, even if they are womenFruit isn’t a health food for some peopleButter trumps margarineYour cholesterol level is less important than what your doctor thinks it isMost people need a magnesium supplement Keto for fat loss is not a high fat dietYou can’t get fit by eating differently. You have to exercise‘Everything in moderation’ isn’t true for everyone Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

They discuss the primary benefits of muscle, why it aids in building a more resilient metabolism, how the diet should be adjusted to support muscle mass building, how hormones affect this and much more.

    This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Dr Marcus Hawkins, general practitioner and collaborator in using low carbohydrate diets to improve health amongst his patients. They discuss his approach, and his patient’s willingness, and the success that he has seen. They discuss his introduction to the approach, his research in the field and why he thinks the NZ guidelines are slow to move in the face of emerging research that clearly shows a benefit. They also discuss Marcus’ thoughts on the ancestral diet for Maori in New Zealand and how the modern diet played a detrimental role in the overall health outcomes.

    Dr Marcus Hawkins is a GP in Botany Downs who has spent over 30 years practising medicine, the first 15 as a hospital-based doctor and the next 15 years as a family physician in both the UK & New Zealand. He discovered the low-carb, keto diet in 2017 first through the movie The Magic Pill and then through his own extensive reading and research. I have become a passionate advocate for low-carb and keto eating. I am convinced it is the best way of eating for humankind and is based on good scientific evidence
