How This Doctor Put Over 150 Patients into Diabetes Remission
About this episode
Can type 2 diabetes be reversed, eliminating the need for medications with completely normal blood sugar levels?
For decades, type 2 diabetes has been considered a chronic, progressive conditions and the standard approach has been to just manage it to slow it down. But what if remission was possible?
Dr. David Unwin, a UK-based NHS physician, has demonstrated how low-carb and ketogenic interventions can lead to drug-free diabetes remission. His work has transformed patient outcomes and challenged conventional medical guidelines.
In this interview, Dr. Unwin shares how he has helped over 150 patients achieve drug-free remission using a low-carb ketogenic approach. We also cover:
🔹 The science behind reversing type 2 diabetes
🔹 How his NHS clinic has achieved one of the highest diabetes remission rates in the world
🔹 The role of real-world data in changing medical practice
🔹 The resistance from traditional healthcare and how to overcome it
🔹 Why media coverage and patient success stories are crucial for spreading awareness
🔹 Practical tips for patients and doctors interested in metabolic health
Dr. Unwin's research-backed approach challenges conventional wisdom and offers a hopeful alternative for those struggling with metabolic conditions.
Join Dr. Bret Scher as he and Dr. Unwin dive into the science, data, and real-world applications of ketogenic therapy not just for diabetes, but for metabolic and mental health as well.
