Join us for our monthly webinar or weekly local courses! Presented by Doug Stone and Justin Anderson, MD. Doug’s story is similar to that of many with Type 2 Diabetes. After 20 years of having the disease, he found himself with totally out of control blood sugars (hemoglobin A1c 11.3 and fasting blood sugars in the 490’s). And all this was DESPITE taking the MAXIMUM DOSE of 3 Diabetes Medications! Luckily, Doug decided to take control of his health, and he has had an AMAZING turnaround! With the help of a local functional medicine physician, he began improving his inflammation and blood sugars. Then, 9 months ago he started the Metabolic Coaching LCHF diet. And look at these numbers!!! DIABETES Hemoglobin A1c – from 11.3 to 6.0! Fasting Blood Sugars – from 490’s to 90-130 Diabetes Medications – from 3 (at max dose) to 0.5 (1/2 his metformin) C-Peptide – from 5.3 to 2.3 Fasting Insulin – 10 (normal) BLOOD PRESSURE Blood pressure Medications – from 3 to 1 FATTY LIVER DISEASE GGT (liver enzyme) – from 120 to 65 Triglycerides – from 490 to 112 INFLAMMATION CRP – from 4.5 to 1.6 CHOLESTEROL Total Cholesterol – from 196 to 169 HDL (GOOD) Cholesterol – from 35 to 48 Triglycerides – from 490 to 112 Weight Below 300 for the first time since he was 25 years old! Lost 46 pounds and counting! HOW HE IS REVERSING HIS DIABETES? OK, so how did Doug do it? How is he reversing his diabetes? 9 months ago he started the Metabolic Coaching program and began eating a Very Low Carbohydrate Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD). This is an LCHF (Low Carbohydrate, High Fat) diet. Doug keeps his daily net carbohydrate intake to LESS THAN 20 NET CARBS PER DAY. Why less than 20 net carbs per day? Because Doug is what I call a “very metabolically resistant” client. If he goes about 20 net carbs daily, he finds that his blood sugar control and weight control suffer above 20. There are some people that can handle a little more net carbs. However, I have found that people who have struggled with weight since early in life, and those with type 2 diabetes, often need to reduce carbs to less than 20 net carbs daily to really “move the needle” and make progress towards getting off their diabetes medications and losing weight. In addition to the health issues above, Doug suffered from HORRIBLE INFLAMMATION AND PAIN. “Before, I hurt all over. My joints hurt. I had pain in my body almost all the time. I was miserable. I couldn’t get up and down. It was just painful to do just ’normal’ stuff. And that improved with the (help of the local functional medicine doctor). But it’s even a lot better now!” HOW DOES HE FEEL ON LCHF? “The first thing that happened when I really got
