Orthopaedic Surgery: Another Form of Chronic Disease Management? | Drs Shawn Baker & Carlos Moreyra
Dr Carlos Moreyra is a orthopaedic surgeon with subspecialty training in sports medicine. He obtained his medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. After years as a Navy flight surgeon and a civilian clinical research consultant, he completed his residency in orthopaedic surgery at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia and a sports medicine fellowship at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After fellowship, he voluntarily returned to active duty in the Navy for an additional 4 years, including a 7-month deployment to the US Navy-operated Role 3 Combat Hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Since transitioning back to the Navy Reserve, he has worked as a general orthopaedic surgeon in various areas around the country. He is now a Retired Reservist in the US Navy and is currently working long-term travel orthopaedic assignments in Lewisburg, West Virginia. Dr Moreyra has worked for three of the last five years in areas in the US with critical need of orthopaedic surgery services. During that time he realized that the vast majority of conditions he treats are preventible. He often discusses dietary and lifestyle changes in order to address chronic health issues that are not orthopedic in nature but that have orthopedic implications. Although individual dietary recommendations may be tailored for each patient, he generally recommends a wholesome animal-centered diet withe the elimination of sugar, refined carbohydrates, and vegetable seed oils. Where necessary, he would advocate for a carnivore elimination diet for the patient to learn what dietary aspect may be causing inflammation or pain. His treatment goals are to improve the musculoskeletal and overall health and longevity of his patients by advocating for wholesome food changes to patients diets as well as encouraging a more active lifestyle.

Can't Outrun a Bad Diet | Dr Shawn Baker & Mark Hancock
In 2005, Mark left his job at a bank to become a self-employed financial adviser. He feels that the stress of the job combined with his already unhealthy lifestyle, contributed to the diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes in 2010 when he was just 39. At that time, he weighed 102kg (224 pounds). He says “I felt sluggish, overweight, tired and just felt run down. I had symptoms of diabetes such as repeated thrush and a tingly foot. I didn’t realise how bad I felt though until I got better.” When he was diagnosed, he was advised to follow the Eatwell guide and lost weight probably because he cut out all the unhealthy takeaways. He also threw himself into long distance running, joining the local Parkrun and doing The Great South Run, a 10-mile road race in Portsmouth, every year. The running, together with medication appeared to keep his weight and blood sugar under control until 2016, when they both started to increase again. He was told that his condition was progressing, and he would need to increase his medication. All changed, however, when he happened to hear Dr Michael Mosley being interviewed on the radio. He explained that people with diabetes have been advised to eat the wrong foods, and that it was these foods that were leading to the condition being chronic and progressive. “As I’d been threatened with more drugs, I felt I had nothing to lose. I bought The 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet and gave it a go. I cut out all bread, pasta, rice and sugar. No more breakfast cereals and no potatoes with my dinner. I started cooking too which was a first for me. I realised that preparing meals isn’t as difficult as I thought and I enjoyed the reward of eating what I’d cooked rather than putting a ready-meal in the oven for 20 minutes. The changes in my weight and blood sugar levels were very quick. I didn’t find it too hard. I can be tempted to eat the wrong things and if out with friends I wouldn’t get too anxious over what I ate, but I wouldn’t let that allow me to “fall off the wagon” for days on end. I’m lucky like that but I think you need to know yourself and whether you can have the odd thing without undoing all your good work.” He lost nearly 20kb (44 pounds) in weight and his diabetes is now in remission. He feels much better, both mentally as well as physically. “In 2018, I was invited to parliament to speak alongside Professor Roy Taylor and Dr David Unwin and others who had found evidence for diet reversing diabetes. If you had asked me previously to stand up in front of audiences or push myself forward like that, I would have avoided it and thought of any reason to get out of it. My confidence just wasn’t there. I feel like a fog lifted from my head in 2016 and I now find myself doing all manner of things and I absolutely love it. I put this down to how I now feed not only my body but my brain too.” Mark also became an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration and this has opened many doors to help others put their type 2 diabetes into remission. For the past 2 years he has been working with his local Primary Care Network to put on a low carb programme for patients which, combined with movement, combatting stress and prioritising a good night’s sleep, has led to some wonderful outcomes. “So far we have run 13 groups with an average of around a dozen participants in each group. The first 20 patients alone lost an average of 9 kg (20 pounds) in weight and reduced their HbA1c by 19 mmol/mol (1.8%). It is truly heart-warming to see how happy people are, now they have a plan that works. I’m now a Health and Wellbeing Coach and employee of the NHS. I never would have believed it!” Timestamps: 00:00 Ambassador for Public Health Collaboration 06:17 Obesity: familial vs lifestyle 09:00 Diabetic retinopathy, tingling feet 15:07 Coming off medications 20:15 Feeling better 22:32 Hemoglobin A1C and weight loss 28:26 More eggs than steak 33:22 Shouting off the rooftops 36:47 Support from doctor 40:49 Improvement in productivity 42:24 Sustainability of low-carb diets 45:35 Normalizing vs pathologizing 48:31 Changing behavior Join the Community: https://carnivore.diet/join/ Book a Carnivore Coach: https://carnivore.diet/book-a-coach/ Carnivore Shirts: https://merch.carnivore.diet Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://carnivore.diet/subscribe/ . #revero #shawnbaker #Carnivorediet #MeatHeals #HealthCreation #humanfood #AnimalBased #ZeroCarb #DietCoach #FatAdapted #Carnivore #sugarfree

Sugar is Insidious | Dr Shawn Baker & Dr Jen Unwin
Dr Jen Unwin BSc, MSc, DPsy, C Psychol, FBPsS (consultant clinical health psychologist; past chair, UK Association for Solution Focused Practice; winner of the British Psychological Society Karen Ehlert Lifetime achievement award in clinical health psychology) has spent her professional life interested in the role of hope in chronic disease and how it can be used to bring about behaviour change and improve quality of life. Her insights teamed up perfectly with Dr David Unwin’s interests in bringing about drug-free type 2 diabetes remission. For nine years they have been running group sessions in primary care to achieve just that, so far for over 100 patients, saving considerable amounts on de-prescribed drugs. Both doctors were featured in a BBC TV documentary ‘The truth about carbs’ that was seen by 3.7 million viewers. Since retiring from the NHS, she has devoted her time to learning about, researching and helping others with sugar addiction. She has published a book called ‘Fork in the Road: A hopeful guide to food freedom’, the proceeds of which are for The Public Health Collaboration.

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher | Dr Shawn Baker & Guillermo Rodriguez Navarrete
Guillermo Rodriguez Navarrete is a Spanish PhD in Human Nutrition, entrepreneur, and one of the most influential Nutrition experts worldwide, with over 1 million followers in his social media community. He is Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, the highest academic achievement in the field, and has created a modern approach based on the importance of quitting sugar addiction, and recovering ancestral habits to achieve health and longevity. He’s also a CNS, and a Licensed Nutritionist-Dietitian in the state of Florida For over a decade, Guillermo have been demonstrating the link between sugar and modern diseases, and guiding people globally to overcome hidden food addictions with online challenges and from his clinics in Miami and Mexico City. In 2020, he partnered with Jean Fontaine, another fellow A360 member and leading animal nutrition expert, to create the first ever multivitamin supplement based in the P. I.N. technology (Precision Intestinal Nutrition) which is expected to be released in late 2022. I last year he founded the non profit “Weight Transfer”. For every pound one of his patients loses, 1 pound of food is donated, so a person with malnutrition at the other side of the world can gain one pound of weight almost at the same time. Guillermo created a 22 day No sugar challenge that he and his team lead twice a year. It’s usually followed by over 100.000 people at the same time with the purpose of learning how to live without sugar addiction. This challenge was featured in the Toby Robbins last book “Life Force” as one of the mayor contributors to Peter Diamandis health. This year 2022, both challenge editions will have a carnivore meal plan to follow. Finally, he created an advanced inner circle group called “Sharks”, with the purpose of getting them to a 100 years of life.
