Cancer has been a leading cause of death in the Western world for some time now, but what is the best nutritional regime to address it? Andrew Scarborough was faced with massive seizures and migraines, followed by a belated diagnosis of Grade III Anaplastic Astrocytoma. This is a most serious form of brain cancer, invariably

Health Unplugged 2015 in London: three excellent docs answer a range of questions on popular topics: Parkinson’s, Crohn’s Disease, Gout, ME, Morning High Blood Sugars, Adrenal Fatigue, Cholesterol & Statins, Blood Testing, Gut Health, etc. Listen and learn from: Dr. Jeff Gerber http://denversdietdoctor.com/ Dr. Rangan Chatterjee http://www.drchatterjee.co.uk/ …and Dr. Tommy Wood http://drragnar.weebly.com/ Darryl Edwards of

A great chat in the lovely surroundings of Ponti’s Restaurant in Oxford Circle, London. We cover the dietary guidelines confusion, the power of ‘food as medicine’, and Aseem’s upcoming movie with Cereal Killer Donal O’Neill:   https://vimeo.com/141154618 Hope you enjoy the conversation as we did; here is a recent example of his ongoing crusade to protect the peeps

Great and personal talk from Jimmy here at Heath Unplugged 2015 last weekend in London – Paleo and LCHF/KETO have more in common than in conflict….! As well as having the pleasure of meeting him in London, he then promptly travelled to auld Oirland, where himself and Patricia Daly organised a great evening’s entertainment at

I was lucky to capture Sam Feltham’s rousing talk at the Health Unplugged event in London last weekend, where he covered some interesting data around meat-eating. Entitled ‘Environmental and Ethical Issues Surrounding Meat’, it will perhaps be provocative to vegetarian types – the reality may not be what you guys currently think! In any case, this mind-opening

The Fat Emperor and Dr. Jeff Gerber catch Damon in London to discuss his recent release, following a great lunch with a seriously low-carb crew, organised by Zoe Harcombe (pic below).‘That Sugar Film’ is making waves indeed in the past few months, educating the public in one of the world’s primary health issues – rent

Had the opportunity to meet up with Verner in August and discuss some of the bad science that informs our health ‘experts’, and in turn trickles down to the population at large. Verner runs an excellent website/blog that translates much of this science andevidence into an accurate form that the average person can benefit from: 

Great delivery by Atkins here – by God he had it worked out…more fat and easier on the protein perhaps, otherwise perfect.   Full debate here – thanks Charles for link 🙂  :

In early August I had the pleasure of being welcomed by Richard at his home in Brooklyn, NY. This second and final part of our conversation covers Sugar, Statistical Shenanigans, and the Low-Fat Lunacy. It concludes with checking in on the progress of the Second Low Carbohydrate Revolution. I hope you enjoy it nearly as

Important inferences from this 2015 paper. Smoking used to drive a lot of hyperinsulinemia and cardiovascular disease, but smoking reduced in the 80’s which resulted in a reduction of the sub-clinical atherosclerosis as measured in random autopsy. But not for long – because we racked up the artery-burning hyperinsulinemia with more carbohydrate; pity that. Thus the

See below slide from a recent seminar I did ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaAowBkbdwU ). They took 4004 people with established coronary heart disease from ages 18 to 80 from across 24 European countries. BUT ONLY AFTER THEY SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED ANYONE WITH DIABETES. Then they checked their blood sugars, and hey presto 29% were frankly diabetic – and 66%

In early August I had the pleasure of being welcomed by Richard at his home in Brooklyn, NY. He was a most gracious host, and I felt privileged to enjoy a discussion with one of the technical leaders in the movement.  Our conversation centred on something huge and inexorable that will stem the epidemic of ‘diabesity’

Calling all diabetics – ‪#‎insulin‬ is needed to suppress ‪#‎glucagon‬, to control blood sugar. The vast majority of endocrinologists and diabetologists don’t understand the important ‘glucagon’ intermediary step. This lecture, and the learnings within it, are breathtaking in their importance:

Note: Video Interview with Kraft here and also my interview with Dr. Kenneth Brookler on Kraft’s work and hypeinsulinemia drivers for tinnitus, Migraine and Meniere’s Disease etc.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-5gohctcJE You all must get hold of Dr. Kraft’s excellent book: ‘Diabetes Epidemic & You’ – (Kindle version)thanks to George Henderson and Grant Schofield for switching me on to

Let’s hear it for Catherine who is near completing her PhD, which is based on the work of Dr. Joseph R. Kraft. What’s more, her supervisor is none other than the esteemed Professor Grant Schofield of NZ. Here she summarizes the phenomenal linkages between elevated Insulin and a dizzying range of chronic diseases. Here she explains

Where do you want to get the Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) message out? Well, the UK’s primary television channel would be super; and how would you ensure that it was articulated clearly for the masses? Well have the eloquent Aseem Malhotra deliver the goods !

I haven’t bothered much with the recent controversial study, because a short run-through showed that it was contrived and grossly misleading for real-life inference. So maybe there are some metabolic mechanistic gems to be mined from the coalface, but life’s too short for this – need focus on the big issues… http://metabolismandmedicine.blogspot.ie/2015/08/did-low-fat-oust-low-carb-for-fat-loss.html That said Ted

Fat Emperor Special: A delightful conversation with Dr. Brookler on tinnitus, inner ear disorders, hyperinsulinemia and the pivotal work of Dr. Joseph Kraft. We also cover some of the many issues around modern research bias, and knowledge gaps in the medical community with respect to chronic disease root cause.  Enjoy, and subscribe for free to

Came across a nice paper from Bill Lagakos’ recent post (thanks Bill!); it is quite interesting in separating out the quasi-independent properties of Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) versus Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) folks:   http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/26/3/868.full.pdf+html   These people are in different places on their dysfunctional journey, but many end up at the same sorry destination. They also include a Combined Glucose

What if you could meet with two excellent low-carb doctors who understand the crucial importance of insulin and glucose metrics for chronic disease avoidance? What if they had just met and interviewed Dr. Kraft, the father of the insulin assay? And what if you recorded the discussion on HD media in a rather pleasant Chicago

Hyperinsulinaemia and Atherosclerosis / Coronary Disease Primary Root Cause. The insights of Dr. Kraft – read these 5 pages of profundity – ‪#‎cholesterol‬ is a dangerous distraction from the core. Also of interest is an Oirish doctor who worked the big stuff out decades ago: Dr. Stout and hyperinsulinaemia-driven Atherosclerosis ‘Those with cardiovascular disease not

(Thanks to engineer-turned-superdoc Ted Naiman @tednaiman for reminding me of the auld Helsinki Insulin-Fest!) Did you ever hear of this classic study? It was a zinger, where they measured the copper’s insulin following a glucose load and tracked them over 22 years for heart disease death. But they made a huge mistake: they only measured the

Great but short interview, shocking implications – enjoy!

I recently had a fascinating conversation with the inimitable Professor Joseph R Kraft  (Bio here). He connected me to many individuals but the first I have had the pleasure to meet was the Insulin-sensitive Otolaryngologist Dr. Kenneth Brookler. I met Dr. Brookler in Manhattan last week and recorded our conversation – he is a treasure-trove of information on the

This is another fantastic and brief session from the great doctor, 81 years old and healthy with type 1 Diabetes since youth. Because he understands how insulin and glucose metrics underpin most disease in our times. This session covers CAC from CT Scanning – short and superb, highly informative and accurate. God bless ‘im !

Recently acquired Dr. Kraft’s excellent book: ‘Diabetes Epidemic & You’ – (Kindle version)thanks to George Henderson and Grant Schofield for switching me on to this. What a guy – see his pedigree here. Essentially he has decoded the hyperinsulinemia mess in society, unveiling the true extent. As we know, Fasting Glucose, Fasting Insulin and general measures of

What a lady – super communicator !!! The reality of Type 2 Diabetes, understandable by the masses; a truthful, scientifically correct story told with admirable passion and conviction – bravo Sarah! My slightly more detailed version, leveraged from Jason Fung’s super talks :
