What an exciting episode we have so you today! Two GPs going head to head in a battle of Devil's Advocate. I read a statement and they have to buzz in with their opinion about that statement. This week I was joined by Dr Kim Andrews and Dr David Oliver both from the Freshwell Health Centre. Disclaimer: these GPs are not giving medical advice, just their own opinion. If you do have a need for medical advice then make sure you speak to your own GP who can advise you.

What a privilege this interview with Dr David Unwin was to record. The time flew by and after 2 hours talking we had to stop as other diary events were clashing. However I could have listened to Dr Unwin all day long! Dr David Unwin is a really special person. He is someone who first reflected on his own career and then changed his whole thinking on the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes. This has culminated in the remission of many peoples Type 2 Diabetes and saved the NHS £57,000 a year on drug budg...

This week I talk to the lovely Eleanor Ward. Eleanor has a really honest story to share about her life and how she has used low carb to keep herself as heathy as she can. She is also t...

Hello, and welcome to series two of UK low carb. I had to think long and hard about which episode to start this series with. And the choice was quite simple.

She has lost weight, she's lost the pain in her shoulder, and she's made her future a much more health one. This story is both inspirational and heartwarming. And Colleen is a wonderful person who I recommend c...
