Calculating carbon footprint as a non-diabetic physician on an LCHF diet

Calculating carbon footprint as a non-diabetic physician on an LCHF diet

People who eat animal-sourced foods to maintain their metabolic health are equicapable and equiresponsible for mitigating climate change. Calculating carbon footprint It’s very difficult, if not impossible, to accurately calculate one’s carbon footprint, because of the different assumptions made about lifestyle in each model. I’ve purchased offsets through the United Nations so I’m using their …

The most important part of this week’s published nutritional guideline recommendations – personal preferences and values are respected. …other guidelines have paid little or no attention to the reasons people eat meat, and the extent to which they would choose to reduce meat consumption given small and uncertain health benefits.

Slide update: This food, served by and to health professionals, is supported by current dietary guidelines & Insulin is now the 7th most expensive liquid on 🌎 behind Chanel No. 5. This is how we make sure more people need it.

Slide update: This food, served by and to health professionals, is supported by current dietary guidelines & Insulin is now the 7th most expensive liquid on 🌎 behind Chanel No. 5. This is how we make sure more people need it.

I call this an example of a “Meat: No, Diabetes: Yes” policy. It’s colorful, refined, plant-based, insulinogenic, and supported by current dietary guidelines. Insulin is now the 7th most expensive liquid on earth ($13,100/gallon), behind Chanel No. 5 ($23,300/gallon). Unfortunately, this scene is still very common in meetings catered for and by health professionals. It’s …

Just Read: Understanding Global Methane Emissions as a Family Physician without Diabetes (and hoping to keep it that way)

“Methane” is said to me as a statement a lot. When I probe if there’s more information behind the statement, I don’t hear very much. The overwhelming majority of physicians do not have a good understanding of climate science. It’s okay, we’re all on a learning journey 🙂 . We should understand: Climate change is …

The Spoonfuls don't carry the American Heart Association seal; The Squarefuls do. 2nd Ingredient: Cane Sugar

The American Heart Association operates a “Heart-Check Certification” program that evaluates foods for their heart healthiness, yet a walk through a grocery store today shows that the certification program includes ultra-processed foods with a high sugar content. Pictured: “Barbara’s Multigrain Squarefuls,” #2 ingredient whole cane sugar, 47 grams of carbohydrate per serving. Confirmed that this …

We’re now in the era of diabetes reversal. Why don’t more doctors know? Tip for fellow physicians: Question the statement “low carbohydrate diets work only in the short term.” Many of the often-quoted studies about diet and health are surprisingly short term. Perhaps most notably, the widely cited DASH diet [25] to lower blood pressure, …

Slide Update: Few Americans are Vegetarian or Vegan, Explicit Weight Bias in Medicine Now Greater than LGBTQ, Recognition of the Authentic Human is the Best Success

Slide Update: Few Americans are Vegetarian or Vegan, Explicit Weight Bias in Medicine Now Greater than LGBTQ, Recognition of the Authentic Human is the Best Success

I am in the 94 %. I have spent time in the 3 % or 5 % for short spans.

Metabolically healthy eating patterns can exist across 100% of the spectrum – with real food performing best and adjustments made for insulin resistance, as well as supplementation, in all categories, which can be done with medical supervision. Anything is better than the standard american diet (SAD), we know how that’s performing.

Slide Update: If you're tied to dogma, what's your interest in data?

Time for another slide update….

I have always been fascinated by the topic of conflict of interest, maybe because my generation of physicians was trained in an environment that was chock-a-block full of conflict, with no balance.

We now live in an era where there is more disclosure, however, it still happens in the background of discourse that is clearly influenced by it (the conflict).

These are some examples, along with some sage advice from Salim Yusuf, OC FRSC, Distinguished University Professor of Medicine, McMaster University, lead investigator of the PURE study.
