Could this be the saturated fat turning point in history? Let’s hope these implications become reality, and the guidelines change, causing a worldwide ripple effect. @bigfatsurprise @zoeharcombe 🙌🏻
The new Dietary Guidelines will drop the caps on saturated fat!! That's what FDA Commissioner @DrMakaryFDA implied yesterday 👏👏👏👏 (My head is spinning--he's citing research directly from my book!) youtube.com/watch?v=qym5dA… "Since Ancel Keys in the 1960s decided to demonize…

I usually bomb the morning @nzherald quiz, but today I finally knew one and still got it wrong 😩 #diabetes #quizfail #type2truth
Presented at the Osteoarthritis Summit today on OA wt management: Whole food ↓carb, focused on anti-inflam benefits, and place of GLP-1s. Such a great, open-minded crowd, receptive to solid #Metabolichealth evidence. Felt like a win! @OA_AoNZ @ArthritisNZ @PhysioNZ @ALARA_AUT
Still talking What the Fat! 10 years later. Brilliant. Why? Cos it’s not a fad diet and still as relevant now as it was then. #lchf #metabolichealth
More than. decade after our best selling low carb book series "What the fat?' came out, and hundreds of thousands of copies later, its still the topic on talkback in NZ when the topic turns to weight loss and what we should do with weight loss drugs. @CarynZinn my co-author…
Wt loss drug, Wegovy just hit NZ shelves at $500/month, unfunded. Meanwhile, cutting sugar and carbs, and moving your body is free with no side effects. Just saying! Jabs are sexier than lifestyle change but are needed forever to sustain changes! #metabolichealth @AMHSorg
Join us this evening for the AMHS Grand Round, open to everyone, not just AMHS members! A fantastic chance to hear from @GeorgiaEdeMD on this important topic in #metabolichealth
Calling all athletes and active folks-here’s your chance to contribute to cutting-edge research on sleep and sport by @HannahTiedt
Calling Endurance Athletes - I'm Hannah Tiedt, PhD Candidate at AUT University, NZ. My research team and I are diving deep into the world of sports physiology and sleep, and we need YOUR help to answer my survey! @AutSprinz @CarynZinn @maunder_ed Link: aut.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9X…
How archaic and counter-productive. A warning about carb reduction for T2D reversal- Ludicrous! Somehow though I don’t think a warning will deter those that truely understand physiology, insulin resistance and chronic disease!
TED just put a warning on Dr. Sarah Hallberg's viral TEDx talk on reversing type 2 diabetes (nearly 12M views!)😒😒 The establishment seems terrified of people learning that type 2 diabetes IS reversible with a ketogenic diet alone, often in a matter of just weeks.…
Fantastic to see @CaseyMeansMD appointed as the US surgeon general - "nation’s doctor". A win for metabolic health👍. bbc.com/news/articles/… @CaseyMeansMD
RIP Dr Richard Bernstein (1934–2025) A true pioneer in low carb & type 1 diabetes care. He proved that tight blood sugar control = long, healthy life—and changed thousands of lives doing it. "Diabetics deserve normal blood sugars." Thank you, Dr B. 💙 #DrBernstein #T1D #LowCarb
Gotto keep pushing that #metabolichealth message, even at ridiculously early morning hours!
Check out this awesome clip of faculty member and Professor @CarynZinn talking on Breakfast this morning about the power of Health Coaching ! Let us know what you think about it below.
A much-needed addition to the field- finally a tailored food pyramid for a population group with metabolic disease. Great work team!
First ever peer-reviewed low-carb/keto food pyramid!! 🔥New paper addresses the many myths that are often alleged about low-carb diets, i.e., that they are nutritionally deficient, cause heart disease, increase mortality and have harmful side effects etc. Many thanks to my…
