- Medications have their place and can be beneficial for many health conditions. But for the chronic diseases that have become endemic in our society, they didn’t have the effect pharmacist Graham Phillips had hoped for. That’s why he transformed his career to get away from drugs. Instead, his company helps heal people through low-carb lifestyle changes.

My story is parallel to him, a pharmacist myself for 30 years, now retired ...had to stop as a pharmacist when discovering the truth about treating my type 2 diabetes ...a keto low carb lifestyle...reversed mine after 19 years
Yes indeed. Once you've seen the results of successful lifestyle interventions you simply cant "unsee" them
Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your health!
I’m 80 and thriving on strictly carnivore diet. Been at it going on my third year. Got totally fed up with doctors always giving me the wrong advice and lecturing me about my occasional jaunts into ketovore eating., yet never thinking twice about giving me yet one more medication. Breaking loose from the intimidation, I chose my own way and completely killed my diabetes 2 in only a month. Let’s hear it for getting better informed and confident enough to stand on my on my hind legs . I’ve never felt better 👍
I’m a retired hospital pharmacist, and I totally agree with Graham Phillips. Modern pharmaceuticals mostly deal with symptoms but not underlying diseases, and cause numerous undesirable side effects.
Yes exactly. I'm not anti drug but I'm certain against excessive overuse
F hi do
I see the aftermath almost daily. For over a decade I’ve been doing removals for funeral homes. It’s one of the most common sights, If someone dies in bed, to see all the meds on night stands. One time I swear I counted 36 vials. I recently visited a hospital with a Walgreens IN IT. How is that not conflict of interest..
These pioneers deserve an applause 👍
I am clinical pharmacist (based in Hospital in Bosnia and Herzegovina) and de-prescribing or "medication debridement" is one of my favorite "pharmacist's intervention" in preventing or resolving Drug Related Problems (DRPs) in pharmacotherapy. I.e. "No indication for drug" is one of the most common causes of DRPs in my clinical practice. I am also a big fan of Diet Doctor :) Thank you for the amazing interview and wish you a very good luck. Kind regards, Gordana
I read a book on Diabetes written in 1877 and it described the 2 types of as temporary diabetes, and type 1 as true diabetes. They treated with low carb diet.
Since then capitalism has intervened and created an environment where cheating is rewarded. Big food & Pharma have over run science.
I asked an obese person about his weight and he said as soon as he was put on insulin for type two diabetes his weight gain accelerated and he put on 150 pounds.
I love the message from Graham phillips what a wonderful future we have If he succeeds.
The two big takeaways from this video, for me, are:
"Bad night's sleep: hypoglycemia the next day", and
"Poison with calories in it" (referring to ultra-processed foods)
I had to figure-out the first one, by myself. Medical professionals would not acknowledge the sleep/hypoglycemia connection. But I learned that after a night with inadequate sleep, in order to avoid the otherwise-inevitable hypoglycemic meltdowns, I had to refrain from eating, and when I did eat, to only have boiled eggs with olive oil, or a poached chicken breast drenched in olive oil - and nothing else. I consider that discovery to be the result of Divine Intervention. Hopefully, others plagued with dysglycemia, will be similarly led, via this video, to ketogenic/fasting strategies.
So well put! I could not agree more
His comments about how to help individuals think about their goals are wonderful. I talk to so many people and struggle with this so that was very helpful. Thank you
N=1 means a lot to the 1.
I went from 113 kg with HbA1C = 12.9 to 81 kg with A1C = 5.55 in 5 months with low carb, no meds. N=1.
We are thousands and hopefully millions of N=1 !!
Another N=1 here 120lbs gone arthritis gone psoriasis gone.
Great discussion!
Testing is not enough when people have been bombarded with "healthy fruit & vege, whole grain, low fat, reduce sat fat, low salt, no eggs, no bacon, more seed oils, no butter, etc" during the past 50 yrs - this info is deeply rooted in our memory-genes.
Btw the gut microbiom is established from early age, thus the food provided by parents during childhood maybe have a bigger impact on health outcome than our own genes?
Another thing kids learn early on from their parents is the eating & cooking habits.
Excellent discussion. Refreshing to hear such a balanced, eye-opening, and helpful viewpoint.
Graham Phillips highlights the “man-made” nature of modern diseases, and promotes the understanding of how lifestyle can change things (tethering the horse) in a powerful preventative way that pharma cannot compete with (shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted).
We as individuals have the power and the time to change and manage our own lives and lifestyle for the better. I was heartened to hear that where patients are given a meaningful choice between medication and lifestyle, where each is explained to the individual (including matters of sleep hygiene), there is an appetite for lifestyle change in preference to medication. Music to my ears. So pleased that Graham mentioned the work of Dr David Unwin too, he has been giving patients choice and hope to excellent effect over a number of years.
👍
I’ve been saying for the past year or two that I believe We are pioneers in the carb-choice lifestyle generation. One of the most spectacular groups are those of us who are 60 & above! From time to time we are following you guys and gals on one of these UA-cam podcasts and a conversation among us over-sixties takes off and we all have the same experiences! I’m 80 and usually alone at the top of the age group, yet I’m right in the mix with everyone else. We seem to be angry because we’ve been blamed for our D2, knowing full well we are coming from former vegetarian and vegan and otherwise responsible dietary lives backgrounds. We feel we’ve been deceived by lazy and fearful doctors.
Pioneers for sure. We always either suspected or knew that it was the foods we were offered.
Exactly!! Especially the part ‘being blamed’ by every doctor in the country. This constant humiliation takes a toll on self esteem and PROMOTES anger-eating. I’m also seeing the vegetarian crowd as being very cultish and mean spirited.
There is too much invested in selling drugs and meds. Big pharma and businessman who make fortunes on selling meds will never do the right thing.
Thank goodness for( let food be thy medicine kinda guys).And diet Doctor.
You are awesome and I love your passion to help people. God bless you
I really like Graham's enthusiasm for change and indeed it could be possible. We seem to be coming up on an inflection point. The body of research is strongly supporting the reduction of carbs in the diet. And the current state of medical practice is at a point of epic failure. Medical practice has been grinding the wheels and gears with little forward progress with the main excuse being that there is no better alternative. Many many stakeholders have been shielding themselves with that argument and the question is who will start walking-back from their stated positions first.
The way it's going leaving drugs is the first step for me, I might have to give up all the people who have been fooled by the lies and live in an isolated world. How gullible we have become or how blindingly saturated are the lies of the ''system''. Either way, it's thought provoking.
Dr. Brett. I can tell you that many pharmacists in the US practice and support low carb diet. I think it is the way of payment structure that we won't get paid for what we do until we get a provider status. Sadly we got pushed back which preventing us to do that. That's the difference we have compared to UK. There are many pharmacists who practicing right now. Check out Dr. Jodi Nishida, low-carb practitioner. She has been practicing and help many patients in Hawaii for so many years.
Dr. Nishida is one of the professionals listed on our Find a Doctor page!

Wow this is so inspiring!!! I'm so proud of this being in the uk
It would be wonderful if doctors would prescribe a low-carb diet. But I remember back when I was overweight my doctor encouraged me to lose weight (with tired old advice), but I was kind of offended that I was paying to have someone tell me what was obvious--I needed to lose weight. If he had told me to eat a keto diet I probably wouldn't have believed him. I found keto by chance listening to Dr.Ken Berry on YT.
We health professionals have no training in diet/exercise/nutrition/sleep. We're simply not equipped to advise.. which also explains why health professionals are just as sick and fat as everyone else!
Don't forget intermittent fasting I do 16/8 eating breakfast and dinner eating balanced meals then start fasting until next morning it has helped lower my insulin levels and I have fantastic night sleep 😄
Yes we discuss various options from time restricted eating to 5 day fast. Horses for courses!
Being a pharmacist same perspective and love helping patients by giving a different perspective about medicine, treating diabetes first with help or diet and lifestyle Is my main goal and and so many positive effects too
Indeed and this needs to become the norm, not the exception..
@@grahamphillips945 thanks it was a great topic to discuss
Great talk. Informative & enthusiastic! I think things are slowly starting to change but health professionals need to know about nutrition & sleep etc, rather than just handing out pills like sweets. I’m 60+ & on no meds. I was put on statins 3 years ago but couldn’t tolerate them so stopped after 6 months. With all I’ve learnt over the last year from people like Dr Aseem Malhotra (consultant cardiologist in UK) I would never accept statins in the future. Big Pharma & Big Food have no interest in health as there’s no money in it. The one feeds the other. Something has to change because health systems around the world are buckling under the strain of treating sick people, just basically putting a sticking plaster on problems instead of trying to find out the root cause.
Brilliant! Times are changing for sure. Would be great to see a world of healthy people all over the world. It is possible.
Can you imagine if Dr. Malcolm Kendrick was also a guest on Diet Doctor? I think it would dovetail nicely with Mr. Phillip's take on things, especially regarding statins.
Funny you should say that!

Truth bombs dropping like crazy here!
I love his accent and pronunciation... and enthusiasm
Actually I follow a diet that limits carbs to 30gm day except for once a week at night I have 200-300gm. I believe this periodic elevation of insulin is healthy.
Do you not go continuously in and out of ketosis though?
@@dcbrit2003 isn’t that the definition of metabolic flexibility?
Love his enthusiasm!
Love this. Sharing. 👍🏻
Such a great interview great to see a pharmacist so close to Hons (Ireland) being more about health 9f the ppl than pushing MEDS 😀 👍 😉
Thanks Cearilin we do have some Irish clients both in England and from Ireland! And then there's the might Ivor Cummins (Fat Emperor) watch this space!
@@grahamXphillips I've just contacted your FB account to set up a consultation...much appreciated Graham
Love your podcasts Dr Scher
fascinating talk
I love his upper middle class british accent ☺💗
Where to get the self gluco monitor that is not so expensive. Insurance does not cover it for type 2 DM in the USA. i think it is a great tool for management. Thank you. Does anybody knows? References?
Sugar spikes are not bad if they ALWAYS come down. The area under the curve. There has also been people who base line sugar goes up on carnivore for example when blood sugar levels have remained low. Is this bad? I dont know, just find it interesting. My diet my carbs are about 10-20% of my calorie intakr
It depends how high, for how long, and how low the overshoot. I've NEVER seen baseline sugar rise on a carnivore diet.. Yes for non-diabetics a certain amount of carb is fine... but then many people aren't fine until they find our the hard way!
I hate to think of it, but most of Our Medical technology here in The USA and probably in other Countries as well, treat symptoms not causes of illness and disease. Thank GOD for the internet as it has allowed many People to educate themselves to more Healthy lives. Sadly though not enough People are as educated about Good Health, Many more People need to learn how to Live better.
I would like to purchase an aura ring. Can you recommend one for me? I want to track sleep and begin a healthier lifestyle after retirement from 44 years as an RN.
There’s only one Oura ring. They’re great, I have one 👍
👍🏼
Dr. Bret Sher...again you provide the health podcasts of all health podcasts. I'm not quite sure why you wouldn't have a billion subscribers by now...! But I am always grateful...!!
+1 !!
He suggests that Pharma can be a massive force for good? I've got to prevent myself from laughing to death.
Insulin? Penicillin? Need I go on?
@@grahamXphillips Chantix? Thalidomide? Need I go on?
@@elizabethblane201 yes that’s why he said CAN BE. Let’s not pretend that pharmaceuticals do not have an important role in healthcare. We do live in a world of extremes, without any regards for a middle position, so your attitude does not surprise me
@@Grk149 Pharmaceuticals per se are neutral; it's the greed which drives those in the industry to produce and market aggressively, without proper testing, the drugs which kill and cripple so many.
The Dr. never fixes you or takes you off 🙄
Very true - that's where programmes like ProLongevity and DietDoctor make all the difference!
Junk
Junk? Forgive me but what and why is it junk?
@@grahamXphillips started the talk with how good the UK socialistic pharmacy system is in a disparaging tone towards the US system. That itself was enough for me that this could be “Junk”.
@@richiprosadmistry414 I said no such thing. Maybe listen to the entire podcast before reaching conclusions
