Sugar is Insidious | Dr Shawn Baker & Dr Jen Unwin

Dr Jen Unwin BSc, MSc, DPsy, C Psychol, FBPsS (consultant clinical health psychologist; past chair, UK Association for Solution Focused Practice; winner of the British Psychological Society Karen Ehlert Lifetime achievement award in clinical health psychology) has spent her professional life interested in the role of hope in chronic disease and how it can be used to bring about behaviour change and improve quality of life. Her insights teamed up perfectly with Dr David Unwin’s interests in bringing about drug-free type 2 diabetes remission. For nine years they have been running group sessions in primary care to achieve just that, so far for over 100 patients, saving considerable amounts on de-prescribed drugs. Both doctors were featured in a BBC TV documentary ‘The truth about carbs’ that was seen by 3.7 million viewers.   Since retiring from the NHS, she has devoted her time to learning about, researching and helping others with sugar addiction.  She has published a book called ‘Fork in the Road: A hopeful guide to food freedom’, the proceeds of which are for The Public Health Collaboration.  Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 08:06 Is sugar required? 10:42 Sugar addiction defined 17:30 Not being able to stop 18:48 Bliss point 19:40 Moderating foods 21:14 Society and carbs 23:46 Familial addiction 25:10 Addictive interaction 27:53 Recovering from food addiction 33:10 Prevalence of food addiction 35:17 Addiction by sex 36:24 Success rates 38:21 Co-morbid addictions 42:02 Coffee addictions 44:24  46:16 Sugar addiction assessments 50:19 For In The Road 54:40 Plant-based diets and food addictions Join the Community: https://carnivore.diet/join/ Book a Carnivore Coach: https://carnivore.diet/book-a-coach/ Carnivore Shirts: https://merch.carnivore.diet Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://carnivore.diet/subscribe/ . ‪#revero #shawnbaker #Carnivorediet #MeatHeals #HealthCreation   #humanfood #AnimalBased #ZeroCarb #DietCoach  #FatAdapted #Carnivore #sugarfree  ‪
