NEW STUDY

The ADA (@AmDiabetesAssn) says to focus on weight loss, lowering calorie intake & to not worry about macronutrients & meal timing

In our study we show that IGNORING their advice results in an a1c drop of:
🚨 5.2 🚨

From a1c 11.9➡️6.7

frontiersin.org/article/10.338…
How did we achieve an a1c reduction of 5.2, WHILE discontinuing metformin, GLP1a, and insulin?

We focused on lowering carbohydrates & intermittent fasting.
Why is this case series important?

Because unfortunately, many scientists, academics, and clinicians falsely believe weight loss is necessary to improve diabetes.

THIS IS FALSE!

You can improve your blood sugar right now in days as you tackle weight loss over months to years
Weight loss is not an instantaneous process, it requires behavior change, psychological support and is often tangled with emotions, guilt, and shame.

Keto + IF has an instantaneous, durable and PROFOUD impact on diabetes WITHOUT weight loss

If you look at CGMs in the supplemental, they were eating carbohydrates

She measured non adherence and just forgot to take ketone measurement.

Nowhere in the limitations was it listed, “oh these massive glycemic excursions are likely carb intake”

In fact she says the opposite
But you wouldn’t know this because you are too lazy to read the supplemental and you aren’t qualified to read CGMs.

Sorry not sorry @BioLayne

I started my weight loss journey at 350lbs. I focused on diet & since my body was in constant pain all I did was walk on a treadmill or an elliptical, slow pace until my body felt good

It took a year to drop 70lbs

As my body felt better, I ramped up the weights, speed, movement
This was the transition point. About 1.5 years in and my body felt good and I stared moving. I had dropped like 70-80 and started ramping up lifting, sprinting, kickboxing
As my body felt good I gravitated to heavier lifting… but again I went from being fat and hungry to NEVER hungry through dietary insight. That was key

Idiot interpreting fMRI results showing reward center activation from carby foods:
“They just liked it more”

Actually they have literally done euglycemic/hypoglycemic clamps w/fMRI, showing the same exact thing

LITERALLY the brain “likes more” insulin & glycemic variability
This is why it’s important to actually read papers not hot takes with affiliate codes

THREAD 🚨 vaccines, medicine & my thoughts

I have such dichotomous thoughts when it comes to what’s happened over the past year in medicine.

First, I marvel at industry’s ability to mobilize & put together a truly novel/brilliant vaccine program in minimal time
... What an amazing feat to have the body create the antigen

This could truly pave the way for years of amazing therapeutics if properly tested.

But on the other hand I see the sketchiness & the malice
Mysterious organization like surgisphere literally propping up and disappearing, journals publishing outright fraud, sketchy trials purposefully over-dosing patients with therapeutics for unclear purposes, PCR thresholds...

We came under heat for having @biolayne on @LCMDPodcast
We were offered money to NOT give him air time
Colleagues were upset b/c of his childish rants, calling MDs & PhDs cowards/clowns, etc

1/5
What I learned from the interview of him, his health coach and a client success story is that his scope is limited.

All he can do is provide education and psychological support.

2/5
Our practice NOT only provides psychological support and education, we also deal with medical issues, lab work, medications, imaging, testing

We truly provide a holistic apprach. We actually SEE lab work results

These are things dietitans and gurus will never be able to do

The UK is limiting the AZN vaccine in under 30 due to blood clots

THIS IS INLINE w/ other countries such as Germany, Spain, Denmark which have restricted in under 50

All those doctors who said “safe & effective” lied

I warned about the 1976 flu vaccine

history repeats itself
This is what happens when doctors blindly believe they HAVE to promote vaccines

Zostavax was a terrible vaccine
Influenza has a 10-60% efficacy

Prevnar and shingrix are EXCELLENT new vaccines IMVHO.

Your doctor shouldn’t BLINDLY say anything, they should REVIEW THE DATA
If you have reviewed the data for vaccine efficacy, side effects, etc.

Any sensible doctor would have admitted the possibility of side effects for a 2 month vaccine.

And should have cautioned use in those with lowest personal benefit.

But that didn’t happen.
