    207: Chris Hill - Rebellion For Kids

    Chris Hill  I’m a retired school teacher (Spanish) and Senior Leader from the state secondary sector with over 35 years teaching experience, often by choice in highly deprived areas, but I have also worked in more affluent areas too. Whilst working in schools I became more and more concerned during the latter years about how I was seeing young people eat – breakfast was often a 2 litre bottle of coke or cans of energy drink and a family size pack of Haribo or a whole packet of chocolate biscuits. This would then result in many students having massive sugar highs which they freely acknowledged. This brought poor attention span, disruptive behaviour, inability to focus on work or listen and often a massive crash in energy leading to sleepiness and lack of a willingness to do anything.  This was then compounded by poor sleep due to staying up late on computer games, social media or TV. Children are experiencing the worst health crisis we have ever come across and for the first time ever are likely to live a shorter lifespan than their parents.  Rates of childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, eating disorders and mental health problems are soaring in our children and yet no one seems to do anything about it. It’s time to put a halt to this and hence The Real Food Rebellion was born- a project that sits within the Public Health Collaboration charity.  This programme is taught within the school curriculum as timetabled lessons in both Primary and Secondary sectors. We give students the knowledge to understand the difference between real food and ultra-processed food, how to read food labels correctly, how to eat and cook well on a budget and how to fight back against the tyranny of the big food companies and a government in their thrall.  The pre-pilots for the first phase of the programme are currently running in a number of schools across the country and we are inviting schools to join us for the main Pilot Programme which will run in Summer 2025. I myself have struggled with an eating disorder from the age of 11 and now at age 61 am starting to feel the physical consequences of this. It stemmed from trauma, societal expectations and the incessant yoyo dieting treadmill. I wish I had known as a teen what the Real Food Rebellion is teaching children now – it could have meant a life free from food addiction and the ensuing misery it brings. If I can save just one child from a lifetime of unhealthy food and illness then that will mean more to me than all the thousands of children out there who have learnt Spanish from me at school!   Link to Show Notes on Website https://fabulouslyketo.com/podcast/207.   Chris’ Top Tips It is important for young people to feel loved and that they are ok as they are. Society and social media is not the be all and end all. Please eat real food and give your children real food. Do not ever go on that first diet.   Resources Mentioned Sugar Blues – William Dufty The Henry Project Bite Back   Connect with Chris Hill on social media YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PHCukorg   Website Details: https://phcuk.org https://phcuk.org/rfr/ The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week journal to support new habits – Jackie Fletcher If you have enjoyed listening to this episode – Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

    206: Dr Miguel Casali - The Spanish GP

    Dr Miguel Casali  I’m Miguel Casali. A Spanish doctor living in Ireland. I am a family doctor by vocation and looking for the best lifestyle to be happy. I came across family medicine which has brought me closer to understanding people and systems. I came across the ketogenic diet which has helped me to stay focused. I came across art which has helped me to express myself and bring out the best in me. I try to know who I am by knowing who I am not.  Now, I am a rural GP in Kerry, looking after my metabolic health and savouring medicine. Explorer in search of truth. Love healthcare. Connecting is my passion. Recruiting and training global healthcare staff. Personalised and precision medicine is the future.   Link to Show Notes on Website https://fabulouslyketo.com/podcast/206.   Dr Miguel’s Top Tips Don’t believe that the changes are as fast as taking medicines – metabolic changes are powerful but slow. Trust people you think are advising you right – don’t give up and continue believing. Never blame yourself and never feel guilty about anything you have done.   Resources Mentioned Salvador Talon Freshwell App Apple Freshwell App Play Store   Connect with Dr Miguel Casali on social media LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ miguel-casali   Website Details: https://www.cseconnect.ie The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week journal to support new habits – Jackie Fletcher If you have enjoyed listening to this episode – Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

    204: Ben Hunt - The Keto Philosopher

    Ben Hunt  Ben Hunt has always been fascinated with the question of how humans can live healthy, happy, and rewarding lives on Earth. That curiosity, combined with a healthy distrust of anything mainstream has led him to explore a wide range of subjects spanning everything from biohacking to food and farming to ethics and spirituality.  Ben is an author and ghost writer, diet and lifestyle coach, public speaker, marketing consultant, didgeridoo maker, bushcraft instructor and chess teacher.   Link to Show Notes on Website https://fabulouslyketo.com/podcast/204 Ben’s Book The Red Pill Food Revolution   Ben’s Top Tips Food doesn’t heal you – your body knows how to heal. Give your body the foods your body needs and leave out the toxic foods and your body will do the rest. Try on the idea that you are biologically a carnivore – it is your natural design. When you strip away the sugar, wheat, coffee, tea, alcohol and the other foods that we are scared to give up you can find out who you really are as a person rather than being anaesthetised by our herbivore lifestyle.   Resources Mentioned Paleo Medicina GAPS Diet The Omnivore’s Dilemma: The Search for a Perfect Meal in a Fast-Food World – Michael Pollan   Connect with Ben Hunt on social media Facebook Profile:https://www.facebook.com/benhuntltd   Website Details: https://benhunt.com https://wayofthecarnivore.substack.com/ https://thebigfatchallenge.com The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week journal to support new habits – Jackie Fletcher If you have enjoyed listening to this episode – Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

    203: Bruce Schnaak - Keto Carnivore and Cancer Tour

    Bruce Schnaak Bruce Schnaak says: After 4 years of being on the carnivore diet, I found myself discussing the subject of my “high” blood lipids with my new PCP. Out of that meeting, I managed to get an order for a Coronary Calcium Scan (C AC) to settle the “dispute”. The scan came back and I scored a 65…which isn’t a zero, but respectable for someone of the same age as the score.   That news got overshadowed by the radiologist noting in the report about a “possible lytic lesion” on a vertebrae. Several different scans over the months (including a vague PET scan) led to an eventual needle biopsy of my T11 vertebrae where a diagnosis of Metastatic Melanoma was pronounced. I got a referral to an oncologist and treatment plans were soon discussed. Fortunately, I also am a patient of Dr. Robert Cywes and he recommended reaching out to MD Anderson Cancer Center and I was able to line up an appointment with them and elected to make monthly trips there for treatment.   In the ensuing months I tightened up my eating by ensuring I maintained myself in a level of therapeutic ketosis…this was achieved by increasing fat and periodically using exogenous ketones. Extended fasts were also implemented around my infusions to drive my ketones even higher. After 3 months of treatment, my lesion was officially stable…although my radiology oncologist noted some shrinking. Another 3 months later I was declared NED (no evidence of disease).   I completed my year of treatments 3 months ago and will continue to have monitoring scans quarterly. Now, things are getting back to normal. I’m confident my way of eating was likely the reason my cancer hadn’t spread to many areas as is common with others with this diagnosis…in fact it was likely shrinking when discovered. That and the fact my “metabolic house” was in order enabled me to escape most of the negative side effects of treatment..   My goal now is to share my story with others and hope it inspires and emboldens. Link to Show Notes on Website https://fabulouslyketo.com/podcast/203   Bruce’s Top Tips Consume like your life depends on it – because it does. Have an advocat and someone to support you.

    202: Dr Lily Johnston - The Other 59,000 Miles

    Dr Lily Johnston  Dr. Lily Johnston, MD, MPH, is the associate medical director for Nexus Healthspan, and is board-certified in both vascular and general surgery. Dr. Johnston received her MD from the University of California, San Diego; she completed her residency in general surgery at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, and then completed a fellowship in vascular surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Dr. Johnston also has a Masters in Public Health from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, MD. She has authored over 25 peer-reviewed studies in cardiovascular disease, and has given numerous talks on topics ranging from vascular and metabolic health to cognitive biases in physicians. After several years of practising vascular surgery full-time, she witnessed too many people losing their lives and limbs to preventable and reversible diseases. She has now dedicated her career to addressing the root cause of cardiovascular disease, and is passionate about bringing the principles of functional medicine and metabolic health to her patients. Dr. Johnston is an expert in complex cardiometabolic therapy including lipid management, therapeutic nutrition protocols, bioidentical hormone therapy, functional testing, and imaging. Dr. Johnston is the founder of the Vascular Health Institute, and is a member of the Society for Vascular Surgery. She is an accredited metabolic health practitioner with both the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners and the Nutrition Network, and she is currently pursuing advanced certification in functional medicine.   Link to Show Notes on Website https://fabulouslyketo.com/podcast/202.   Dr Lily’s Top Tips This is your body and your journeyn – no-one else can do this for you. It is your responsibility for moving forward. Everyone is a snowflake and the best evidence is your N=1 experiment. Seek out people in the scientific community, the online space and the medical profession who say “I don’t know” – don’t give up on people who have changed their perspective or their ideas – see it as a huge asset, a sign of humility, curiosity, growth, and compassion, not  weakness, confusion or lack of knowledge.   Resources Mentioned For the varicose vein supplements, the best studied options are ruscus extract, micronised purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF), and horse chestnut extract. The evidence for these and the European Vascular Society’s recommendation to consider their use for symptomatic relief can be viewed here (section 3.3): https://www.ejves.com/article/S1078-5884(21)00979-5/fulltext#secsectitle0225 096: Jeff Kotterman – Low Carb Sports Nutrition 042: Dr Brian Lenzkes – Low Carb MD 104: Dr Tro Kalayjian – The Other Low Carb MD Low Carb MD Podcast Peak Human SMHP Low Carb USA The Nutrition Network Connect with Dr Lily Johnston on social media LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ljohnstonmd/   Website Details: https://www.vascularhealthinstitute.org https://www.nexushealthspan.com/medical-providers/lily-johnston     The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week journal to support new habits – Jackie Fletcher If you have enjoyed listening to this episode – Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.
