Lowering your carbohydrates or even going carnivore have immense benefits. Major mental health conditions can improve or even be healed. There is hope for many conditions with ketosis.

🚨 Big Kidney Health News — and it’s not coming from a pill bottle. 🚨

For years, we were told that low-carb or higher-protein diets were dangerous for the kidneys. That eating meat would somehow push people with type 2 diabetes closer to renal decline.
But what happens when we actually look at the data instead of repeating old fears?

That’s exactly what Dr. David Unwin, MD and colleagues did.
📊 Seven years of real-world clinical data.
📉 Patients with type 2 diabetes following a low-carb approach.
💡 The result? Kidney function didn’t decline — it IMPROVED.

Their peer-reviewed analysis found no evidence of harm, and instead noted improvements in weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, medication use, and yes… renal markers. It turns out that stabilizing glucose and insulin (instead of flooding the kidneys with chronic high sugars) is one of the most kidney-protective things you can do.

Citation:
Unwin, D., Unwin, J., Crocombe, D., Delon, C., Guess, N., & Wong, C. (2021). Renal function in patients following a low carbohydrate diet for type 2 diabetes: a review of the literature and analysis of routine clinical data from a primary care service over 7 years. Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Obesity, 28(5), 469–479.

And Dr. Thomas Weimbs illustrated the contrast perfectly at ASN Kidney Week 👇

On the left: “Drug X slows kidney disease”
👏 Big applause.
On the right: “Keto diet reverses kidney disease”
đź‘€ Crickets.
Because nobody profits when food works.
But real people do.
Real patients do.
Real families do.

Low-carb medicine is challenging decades of assumptions — not by theory, but by outcomes.
Metabolic health is kidney health.
And improving both starts with stabilizing blood sugar, lowering insulin load, and nourishing the body with real food — not fear.
If you want peace, clarity, and better health… the data keeps pointing in the same direction.
Strong • Nourished • Real. 💪🥩

Over the last few months I've been tweaking my diet to try and heal a long standing health issue. I got some advice for this. And so I began eliminating a few things from my diet. One of those things was fruit, apart from the occasional strawberry from my garden. Over this period of time I have experienced a few detox symptoms. Detoxing or dumping of oxalates when you reduce the oxalate content of food is common. I don't think it's a coincidence that I have had a stye, conjunctivitis and crusty eyes with hayfever over this period of time. Oxalates love to pick on the eyes and 'detox' in this way. And a side benefit of no fruit is weight loss.

I always have charcoal in the cupboard as a first aid type remedy. It goes on holiday with me too just in case of tummy bugs, food poisoning etc.

Are you guilty of sleeping next to your cell phone?

These devices put out invisible electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that interact with your body’s electrical fields in the brain, heart, and deep in the cells.

In addition to disrupting sleep, EMF exposure may play a role in:
-High blood pressure
-High pulse rate
-Decreased cognitive function (memory, focus, and concentration)
-Increased inflammation
-Mood changes
-Increased risk of stroke
-Increased risk of heart attack
-DNA damage

For this reason, it’s important to keep your cell phone and other devices away from your body whenever possible, especially while sleeping.

Implementing the diet and lifestyle this book recommends truly changed my life. I came upon the GAPS diet when my youngest two children were around 8. Persistent eczema, hospitalisations, depression and anxiety in me, erratic behaviour in my children at times, hayfever, asthma. Did my children have labels of autism or adhd? No. I never sought help medically for all that. But my observations of my children showed that there were definitely some symptoms of them. I distinctly remember one of my children after being to a birthday party coming home and lying on the floor kicking and screaming. Far too much sugar and crap food. This was far away from two year old tantrums and really not cool. I eliminated all forms of sugar and peace began to reign. All of these things and more was what I was dealing with as a mother. The GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) diet turned that around. A few years ago I trained as a GAPS coach. It has been my absolute privilege to help individuals and families in implementing a gut healing protocol and see the changes that occur. I am available now to help coach you through this protocol and achieve success. With many years experience with my own family and with clients I can show you the shortcuts, the practical skills and share with you my knowledge. It's amazing what can happen when you change what you eat. Are you up for the challenge? PM me. I would love to work with your family.
