How To Use Food To Transform Your Health, Reverse Type 2 Diabetes & Improve Your Mood with Dr David Unwin #611

Only one in eight of the population is metabolically healthy. One in eight. So in our practice, of all the people with diabetes, we know that if they go low carb, fifty percent of them will achieve drug free type two diabetes remission at three years. A further forty eight percent have improved their blood sugar significantly, or maybe they're on less medication. It's amazing because the average improvements are better than drugs for diabetes. Hey, guys. How are you doing? Hope you're having a good week so far. My name is doctor Rangan Chatterjee, and this is my podcast, feel better, live more. If you have ever struggled with your weight, low energy, prediabetes, or even type two diabetes, this is a conversation that could change your life. My guest this week is doctor David Unwin, an NHS GP who not only puts his own type two diabetes into drug free remission, he's also helped over 150 patients do the same in a standard UK general practice with ordinary people on ordinary budgets using food and lifestyle. You see, right now, it's estimated that around seven eighths of the adult population are metabolically unhealthy, which means that only a tiny minority of us are truly metabolically well. And this is a serious issue because poor metabolic health is one of the root cause drivers of insulin resistance, type two diabetes, cardiovascular disease, strokes, Alzheimer's, and many forms of cancer. And as you may have heard me talk about recently in other podcast episodes and in my weekly newsletter, this is one of the main reasons why I cofounded Do Health, a personalized health companion powered by your individual biology and lifestyle as a way of helping people improve their metabolic health early well before they get sick in the future. In our conversation, David explains the early signs of poor metabolic health and why symptoms like fatigue, belly fats, and brain fog are often overlooked, why many issues we see as normal aging are actually signs of insulin resistance? How David himself reversed his own type two diabetes and at the same time improved his mood, energy, and cognition? How reducing starchy carbohydrates if you have metabolic dysregulation can dramatically improve your blood sugar control, why so many of us struggle with bread, pasta, and ultra processed foods, and how food addiction may be silently driving our behavior. The two women who helped David rethink everything he thought he knew about food, hope, and healing. And why it's never too late to work on your metabolic health, and why doing so can change every aspect of your life. One of the things I love most about David is his passion. He really is someone who genuinely wants to improve the health and lives of his patients. And our hope is that by the end of this conversation, you won't just understand type two diabetes differently, you'll also feel empowered to make small changes that improve your blood sugar, your …
