Chronic migraines and bad sleep might share similar metabolic roots. Italian researchers followed 26 chronic migraine patients on a ketogenic diet or low glycemic index diet for six months. Both groups restricted carbs to about 30 grams daily. The results: sleep quality improved, daytime sleepiness dropped, and migraine frequency and intensity both came down. The most interesting part? Sleep improvements were independent of migraine improvements. This wasn't simply fewer headaches leading to better rest. The metabolic shift itself appeared to change sleep architecture. And the benefits showed up by only three months. Extending to six months didn't add further improvement, which led the researchers to question whether a three-month intervention might be enough. If you deal with chronic migraine and trouble sleeping, the metabolic connection is worth understanding. Want to learn about more studies like this?

Why cardiologist Dr. Jack Wolfson NEVER prescribes statins to his patients: "The need for statins is totally built on lies... The most egregious thing that's ever been committed on the worldwide populace is the idea of taking statin drugs as a health measure." He continues: "Because I would say that statin drugs, not only do they not work in the sense that we would think they work, because they work to lower numbers down, that's for sure. But they don't really reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and dying to meaningful levels." If I didn't make this clear in my original thread: Statins are effective at one thing: lowering cholesterol numbers on a lab report. And they do this extremely well. Despite some saying there are benefits to it as Dr. Wolfson says: "They do have anti-inflammatory properties and can stabilize arterial plaques — which is why mainstream medicine argues they reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and death. But according to a 2022 JAMA meta-analysis, that actual reduction is from 2% to 1.84% annually — a fraction of a point. And that marginal benefit comes at a real cost." That real cost is: 1) Your money 2) Side effects, for example: • Hormone disruption — since cholesterol is a precursor to all sex hormones, blocking its production disrupts hormone balance • Impaired vitamin D synthesis — sunlight converts cholesterol in the skin into vitamin D; less cholesterol means less vitamin D • Weakened bones — they interfere with vitamin K utilization, increasing osteoporosis risk Ultimately, it doesn't address the root cause for heart attacks and strokes which are inflammation, oxidative stress, toxic exposure, poor diet, and sedentary living which lifestyle can solve. Read my thread below to see solutions. (Disclaimer: do not get off your medications without consulting your doctor.)

Dr. Aseem Malhotra said: "If you take a statin for 5 years after a heart attack, it will add an extra 4 days to your life expectancy." A marginal benefit yet 1 billion people are on it or have been prescribed it largely to prevent heart attacks. The truth about statins:🧵

Solution #5: Practice breathwork and meditation daily A cardiologist in India reversed coronary artery disease using 40 minutes of Raj Yoga meditation daily. Results: 70% blockages became 50%, 50% became 30%. Some 100% occlusions completely opened up in 2 years.

I can't believe it took 2.5 years...but my paper on a new system for rating foods by nutritional value was finally accepted for publication! Nutrient-dense foods like fish, meat, and non-starchy vegetables top the list.

@LoCarbFreshwell @DrKimAndrews @PHCukorg @lowcarbGP @VivHamilton1 @WithnellSharon @Sharonjane12345 @Freshwell_HC @lowcarb_mark @ElizabethLePla @thelowcarb_rd Brilliant news Well done 👏

1/ Delighted to share that the Freshwell Low Carb Programme has just been re-accredited by QISMET for: • Weight Management • Pre-diabetes • Type 2 Diabetes This is a strong national endorsement of quality and governance. 🧵👇

Big Pharma wants you believe Alzheimer’s is incurable, but one brain surgeon is naming three substances that fight Alzheimer’s WITHOUT the side effects. #1 is Curcumin, which increases mitochondrial function and reduces the inflammatory chemicals that trigger Alzheimer’s. #2 is DHA (from omega-3 fats) - “DHA removes almost all the amyloid from brains.” #3 is EGCG (from green tea) - ECGC has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that counter neurodegenerative processes. Dr. Russel Blaylock says these substances are ignored by mainstream medicine—not because they don’t work, but because pharmaceutical companies “couldn’t make a profit off it.” So, research and promotion are abandoned. If effective treatments can be buried, what else aren’t we being told about Alzheimer’s disease?

I don't like HbA1c as a clinical marker. I don't like how it's replaced almost every fasting marker, including fasting glucose. Of course, without fasting, you miss even better markers, such as fasting insulin, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol. I also don't like that too many clinicians think HbA1c is only a marker of glucose. They forget there's another feature of that marker--the red blood cell. The most common blood disorder worldwide is iron deficiency anemia (because of lack of red meat). Unfortunately, even this can confuse HbA1c. With less iron, comes reduced RBC turnover, which can lead to an artificially elevated HbA1c. In this case, it's not a reflection of glucose at all, but rather "zombie" red blood cells that aren't allowed to die on time. The sooner HbA1c stops being the darling of clinical markers, the better. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25994072/

1963: Dr. Robert Atkins is an overweight cardiologist in New York. He's tried standard low-calorie diets and failed like his patients fail. Weight comes off temporarily then returns. He discovers William Banting's 1863 pamphlet and Alfred Pennington's 1950s research. Both described weight loss eating meat and fat while avoiding carbohydrates. He tries it himself. Within months, loses significant weight without hunger. Energy improves, mental clarity increases. He starts prescribing the same approach to obese patients. The results match Banting and Pennington's findings. Patients lose weight eating unlimited meat and fat as long as they avoid carbohydrates. No hunger, sustainable long-term, health markers improve. 1972: Atkins publishes "Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution." The book becomes a massive bestseller despite immediate attack from the medical establishment. The American Medical Association calls it dangerous. Nutritionists say it will cause heart disease. Government dietary guidelines condemn it. But people try it and lose weight consistently. Atkins continues refining the approach over 30+ years. Publishes updated editions, opens clinics, trains physicians. By the 1990s, millions have used his diet successfully. 2002: Controlled studies finally test the Atkins diet against low-fat diets. The results show Atkins dieters lose more weight and show better health markers than low-fat dieters. Atkins dies in 2003 from head injury after falling on ice. His autopsy is leaked and misreported - the press claims he died obese and unhealthy. Later correction shows he had normal coronary health and his weight at death was from medical treatment, not obesity. He spent 40 years being attacked for recommending exactly what Banting, Pennington, Donaldson, and others had successfully used. The evidence supported him but the industry opposed him. Modern low-carb movements exist because Atkins refused to give up despite relentless criticism. He didn't discover anything new - he just popularized what older physicians had proven decades earlier.

High-Protein Diet Boosts Kidney Function at 87 Years Old An 87-year-old patient improved his kidney function and energy by doubling his protein intake with eggs, bacon, and other high-protein foods. Contrary to common myths, high-protein diets can support kidney health and overall vitality. Discover how protein-rich nutrition can enhance longevity and quality of life. #HighProteinDiet #KidneyHealth #Longevity #HealthyAging #NutritionTips #ProteinForLife

I can't help wondering whether there's ever been a study that finds LDL (or any single lipid marker?) is a better predictor for heart disease than markers of insulin resistance. The sooner we recognize insulin resistance as a key contributing factor of chronic disease, the earlier we detect the problem and the better we treat it. Of course, we'll also prevent it much more successfully.

Cortisol isn’t just a stress hormone. Chronically high cortisol drains energy, wrecks sleep, fuels belly fat, lowers testosterone, and even damages memory. The good news? You can bring it down naturally. Here are 9 proven ways 🧵

So our international food addiction conference in London was covered by The Express The Telegraph The Mail and today The i Thanks @ClareWilsonMed 👍 When ‘moderation’ is bound to fail try abstaining!

The Healthcare System wants you sick and dependent. A patient cured is a customer lost. Here are the top 12 mind-blowing things they don’t want you to know about the “sick-care” system: 1) Type 2 Diabetes is completely reversible naturally

Graph of the week! Doctors it’s odd we use insulin as a treatment for T2Diabetes IF the problem is INSULIN RESISTANCE! Perhaps reducing carbs instead could be more logical ? Here someone cuts both the carbs and insulin by 2/3 and diabetes so much better controlled Done with a CGM as cover @BenBikmanPhD

So why do I think Low carb works so well for T2D ? 1. Immediate improvements in blood glucose help motivate people to continue 2. LESS HUNGER this is key to longterm success 3.WEIGHT LOSS particularly fat loss from liver and pancreas improves insulin production and sensitivity Others might add more @DoctorTro @KenDBerryMD @KesarS2014 @drericwestman @drjenunwin

So looking forward to significant progress in dietary guidelines. So overdue.
