Dr. Zoë Harcombe - 'What about fiber?'
Dr. Zoë Harcombe - 'What about fiber?'
Zoë Harcombe was the first pupil from her school to graduate from Cambridge University. While studying maths and economics at this historic institution, Zoë set out to answer the million dollar question - "Why do you overeat? When all you want is to be slim?" This became the title of Zoë's first book - published in 2004.
"Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight" followed in 2008, with an accompanying recipe book and "The Obesity Epidemic: What caused it? How can we stop it?" which was published in October 2010. "The Harcombe Diet for Men" (2011) gave men the super quick read they were after and then two more books were published in 2013 - a collaboration with Hodder & Stoughton: "The 3-Step Plan" and a completely revised "Why do you overeat?"
Zoë has a PhD in public health nutrition. She struggles to find anything that is being taught in 'conventional' nutritional worlds that is true or evidence based. Hence why she spent 2008-10 writing The Obesity Epidemic - 135,000 words blowing apart: the misapplication of thermodynamics to dieting; the notion that 1lb = 3,500 calories, let alone that a deficit of 3,500 calories will lead to a weight loss of 1lb; the Seven Countries Study and the subsequent change in our diet advice, which has caused the obesity epidemic; the role of exercise in obesity and much more.

Marty Kendall is an civil engineer from Brisbane, Australia and the husband of a Type-1 Diabetic. He has a strong interest in improving the health of his family and others by analysing what determines optimal nutrition and he shares his findings via the blog https://optimisingnutrition.com
In this video, Marty discusses how quantifying satiety to guide food choices to manage hunger is the holy grail of effective and sustainable weight loss. In an effort to achieve this, Marty analysed more than half a million days of food logs to understand how various parameters of the food we eat (e.g. protein, carbohydrates, fibre, fat, sugar, starch and energy density) influence whether a food or meal will fill us up or leave us hungry and eating more than we need to.

Richard Morris - 'Protein? How much
Richard Morris - 'Protein? How much
Richard Morris began his journey to health in 2003 when he gave up smoking under his doctors' supervision (using drugs). He compensated by eating more and gaining weight. Doctors told Richard his triglycerides were getting high and so he should diet.
Richard started drinking SlimFast nutritionally complete meal replacements. At his next blood test he found out he was pre-diabetic and was referred to an internist who got him on metformin and statins. His glycemic control worsened. So, they upped the drugs. His blood pressure started marching north, so he reduced all salt in his diet.
Shortly after, Richard discovered the Atkins low carb high protein diet. This was in 2005, the height of the first low carb diet craze and after 3 months of Atkins, Richard's blood glucose was normal, his lipids were normal and his blood pressure had normalised. Considering himself cured, Richard returned to a traditional diet.
Fast forward 10 years. Richard now had a personal trainer working him ragged for 3 x 30 minutes every week. He was cycling 100km a week, and his diet had become full of hand made pastas, pizzas with homemade mozzarella and lot's of meals with whole grains and pulses.
But Richard had put on a lot of weight, almost as much as he had when he was sick in 2003. To make matters worse, he had developed a persistent toe infection. Eventually it was so bad that he took it to the ER, and they told him it was so badly infected that he may have to lose it, and by the way did he know he was a full on type 2 diabetic?
Defeated, he went back onto diabetes drugs (Metformin, Statins, BP meds), and saved the toe, but he slowly got sicker and sicker. Rather than getting depressed he studied everything he could about nutritional ketosis and the ketogenic diet.
After 5 months Richard was no longer diabetic by any measure known to modern pathology. He went from having a disease that is, according to medicine, only ever progressive and not curable - to being asymptomatic. His HbA1c was 5.2% and he now exercises less, and is healthier than ever.
In February, 2016 Carl Franklin approached Richard about doing a podcast called '2 Keto Dudes' to provide information, links to the studies supporting the ketogenic diet, and of course recipes. Their combined knowledge and sense of humour has made the podcasting duo extremely popular. For more information visit; http://2ketodudes.com/

Ivor Cummins - 'An Engineering View of Modern Chronic Disease Prevention'
Ivor Cummins - 'An Engineering View of Modern Chronic Disease Prevention'
Ivor Cummins originally completed a Chemical Engineering degree in 1990 (Biochemical Stream, BE(Chem) CEng MIEI), followed by over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions. Ivor’s particular specialty was leading teams in complex problem-solving scenarios.
Following less-than-ideal blood test results, he was unable to get solutions from the doctors he consulted. He thus embarked on an intense period of biochemical research into the science of human metabolism. Ivor intensively studied the mechanisms and primary drivers of elevated GGT and Serum Ferritin. This quickly led to an investigation of general causes of inflammation and dyslipidemia.
Within eight weeks Ivor had resolved and optimised all of his blood test metrics. Also, he had shed nearly 15kg of body fat with relative ease. As the journey became a fixation he went on to analyse over 200 related papers and studies carried out over the past 5 decades and before.
Ivor found that the value of the technical expertise gained during his career to be of paramount importance in this odyssey. Through this investigation Ivor has realised that to be successful in determining root cause and solution in the health arena requires far more than a general medical background.
In the following years Ivor has continued his research on the many “root causes” of modern disease, from “cholesterol” through to insulin resistance. He has also given many public talks and chaired interviews with various health experts.

Antonio Martinez - 'The Legal, Political and Public Health Policy Challenges of Low Carb'
Antonio Martinez is an Attorney at Law and businessman who worked for the late Dr Robert C. Atkins MD in government relations and appeared on his radio show in the 1990s. Antonio was one of the principal lobbyists and strategists involved in the passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) and has been involved in health care issues in law and policy throughout his career.
Back in the 90s Antonio adopted a low carb approach to lose weight for a time but says he then resumed a more moderate diet. It wasn’t until Antonio started to have his own health issues, including Type 2 diabetes and a heart attack, that he realised he needed to intensify his efforts.
Frustrated, he re-read a number of health and medical materials and told his doctors he would not be taking medications for the rest of his life. He also watched the documentary “Cereal Killers” which was a light bulb moment for him.
In July 2014, Antonio told his doctor and cardiologist that he was going on a high fat low carbohydrate diet. While his doctors did not advise against it, they were skeptical and warned him that he would have to have labs done frequently to monitor the impact of the diet. Antonio's health has now vastly improved and he is using his legal and political expertise to create change in public health policy.

Dr. Mark Berger - 'Low Carb Radiology: Enhancing Your Image'
Dr. Mark Berger is a radiologist from Saint Paul, Minnesota. After receiving his MD degree from the University of Minnesota he spent four years in the US Navy taking care of a battalion of Marines, including six months in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm.
Upon completion of his military service he spent the next four years studying diagnostic radiology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, followed by a fellowship in body imaging at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina. He has spent the last 20 years practicing as a diagnostic radiologist in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Dr. Berger experienced a life changing moment after years of seeing people’s health deteriorate in the images he was interpreting. He realised that conventional medicine was simply broken. Individuals were becoming sicker and sicker while trying to follow conventional medical wisdom and nutritional recommendations.
After transforming his own diet and lifestyle, he became interested in discovering both conventional and alternative forms of therapy that would allow individuals the greatest opportunity to maintain their health and prevent illness. This lead to the completion of a two year fellowship in Integrative Medicine through the University of Arizona in Tucson, followed by certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
Dr. Berger is now committed to using these techniques to enhance the health and wellness of my family, friends and clients. By using imaging as an educational tool, Dr. Berger is able to let people know what is really happening with their health through his practice, Vitality Visions.

Dr. Gary Fettke is an Orthopaedic Surgeon and Senior Lecturer at the University of Tasmania practising in Launceston, Australia. Along with his wife Belinda, Gary has also opened the 'Nutrition for Life – Diabetes and Health Research Centre' based in Launceston which provides nutritional care around Tasmania and Australia.
Gary has a longstanding interest in the preventative aspects of health outcomes, particularly before operating on his patients. Recently an AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) investigation into Gary’s qualifications to give nutritional advice has concluded. This investigation (which lasted for more than two years) has resulted in Gary being issued a ‘caution’.
The Medical Board of Tasmania, under the umbrella of the Australian Health Practitioners Regulatory Authority, have advised him; ”In particular, that he does not provide specific advice or recommendations on the subject of nutrition and how it relates to the management of diabetes or the treatment and/or prevention of cancer.”

Ivor Cummins - 'The Pathways of Insulin Resistance: Exposure and Implications'
Ivor Cummins - 'The Pathways of Insulin Resistance: Exposure and Implications'
Ivor Cummins originally completed a Chemical Engineering degree in 1990 (Biochemical Stream, BE(Chem) CEng MIEI), followed by over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions. Ivor’s particular specialty was leading teams in complex problem-solving scenarios.
Following less-than-ideal blood test results, he was unable to get solutions from the doctors he consulted. He thus embarked on an intense period of biochemical research into the science of human metabolism. Ivor intensively studied the mechanisms and primary drivers of elevated GGT and Serum Ferritin. This quickly led to an investigation of general causes of inflammation and dyslipidemia.
Within eight weeks Ivor had resolved and optimised all of his blood test metrics. Also, he had shed nearly 15kg of body fat with relative ease. As the journey became a fixation he went on to analyse over 200 related papers and studies carried out over the past 5 decades and before.
Ivor found that the value of the technical expertise gained during his career to be of paramount importance in this odyssey. Through this investigation Ivor has realised that to be successful in determining root cause and solution in the health arena requires far more than a general medical background.
In the following years Ivor has continued his research on the many “root causes” of modern disease, from “cholesterol” through to insulin resistance. He has also given many public talks and chaired interviews with various health experts.

Zoë Harcombe was the first pupil from her school to graduate from Cambridge University. While studying maths and economics at this historic institution, Zoë set out to answer the million dollar question - "Why do you overeat? When all you want is to be slim?" This became the title of Zoë's first book - published in 2004.
"Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight" followed in 2008, with an accompanying recipe book and "The Obesity Epidemic: What caused it? How can we stop it?" which was published in October 2010. "The Harcombe Diet for Men" (2011) gave men the super quick read they were after and then two more books were published in 2013 - a collaboration with Hodder & Stoughton: "The 3-Step Plan" and a completely revised "Why do you overeat?"
Zoë has a PhD in public health nutrition. She struggles to find anything that is being taught in 'conventional' nutritional worlds that is true or evidence based. Hence why she spent 2008-10 writing The Obesity Epidemic - 135,000 words blowing apart: the misapplication of thermodynamics to dieting; the notion that 1lb = 3,500 calories, let alone that a deficit of 3,500 calories will lead to a weight loss of 1lb; the Seven Countries Study and the subsequent change in our diet advice, which has caused the obesity epidemic; the role of exercise in obesity and much more.

The goal was to make it simple for anyone to learn about low carb, high fat nutrition and discuss their results. It rapidly became the most popular health blog in Sweden and one of the most popular blogs in all categories.
In the spring of 2011 the English version of the Diet Doctor blog was launched. It was not immediately popular and for several years it mostly contained translated articles from the Swedish site. Slowly, things started to gather momentum. Income from book sales and frequent lecturing allowed Dr. Eenfeldt to gather a small team of co-workers and the website began to grow in popularity worldwide.
DietDoctor.com now has over 2 million visits per month and still receives no money from industry, offers no products for sale and contains no ads. It is funded entirely by paid subscribers with the goal of spreading the word about outdated nutritional information and to push for a food revolution.

Carolyn Rogers is a Brisbane-based Psychologist who works in private practice. She has a special interest and extensive experience in weight management and eating disorders. Before becoming a Psychologist, Carolyn was a Registered Nurse and she has a passion for health and science.
In this presentation Carolyn describes a number of studies done by Psychologists using animal models, and later human models, to show the addictive properties of sugar. Sugar and highly-palatable processed foods can produce the same brain responses as substances of abuse. These processed foods pose a problem for anyone trying to control their weight because they hijack the appetite leading to a vicious cycle of overconsumption, withdrawal symptoms when access is denied and cravings, leading to further overconsumption.

Franziska Spritzler, RD, CDE, is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator who favours a low-carbohydrate approach for diabetes and weight management. For several years she consumed the same low-fat, high-carbohydrate eating plan she recommended for the patients she counselled as an outpatient dietitian in a large teaching hospital.
Once she discovered in early 2011 that her own blood sugar levels were increasing to unhealthy levels after eating, Franziska began researching the beneficial effects of carbohydrate restriction and adopted it as her way of eating. She now recommends low-carbohydrate diets for people with all types of diabetes, as well as for individuals insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and those who have difficulty losing weight with low-fat diets.
She is the author of "A Low-Carbohydrate, Whole-Foods Approach to Managing Diabetes and Prediabetes," featured in the Winter 2013 edition of the American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Spectrum journal.
