  1. So a pediatrician is a doctor who specializes in the diseases of children, people under sixteen years old. And the international problem is that children everywhere are now suffering from type 2 diabetes. Okay But the pediatricians have had no training because it's a new disease So a large group of pediatricians sent for me and said please do a keynote Unteach us what to do because they, although they're specialists, they haven't experienced in type 2 diabetes. This is a new disease of children. What we're doing what we're doing Leave it at that. We didn't show the foie gras, but I'll eat some of that later

  3. So, what that is, that's somebody with type 2 diabetes, but look, your blood sugar is absolutely level. That's good You want it, but look how level it is, and that is because I don't eat stuff that puts up my blood sugar. If I was to have some of those, you'd get us by. But that's feedback. It also means if I get very stressed, it puts up my blood sugar. And you've been so kind, I haven't been stressed. So other podcasters are not as gentle and kind as you, and I get a horrible spite. So I was going to open.

  5. Which, by the way, On Amazon or a web. Yeah, I would think, you know what? If you loved your dad or you had somebody and it's Christmas and you could buy useless ornament or something, they don't need it anyway. But would they be interested to find out about their blood sugar? You could maybe consider, you'd ask them first, but if they've got a mobile phone, they could try a continuous glucose monitor and find out. Have you tried?

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  6. And one thing I think that gives me hope is continuous glucose monitors because you're getting, you know, individualizing right there how is my blood sugar, I can check mine in a minute and see how I'm doing. I think continuous glucose monitors.

  7. Well, at Locarb GP on Twitter please follow me on Xarb GP. The other thing that would help very much is to support the British charity that I set up, the public health collaboration. It's held 10-year anniversary. We set up, these were clinicians who got together. 16 clinicians said how we're doing rubbish. Can we do better? Can we give clearer public health advice? So it's called the public health collaboration. So please, please support our charity. Go online, find out about it, come to our conferences. I'd also say notice. Each of us is on a journey, be clear about your goals. Notice what works for you because that's what you're doing. And each of us see yourself as an experiment. Don't be frightened of experimenting, but if you're going to experiment, notice, measure something. Measure something, and then you'll see how you're doing.

  11. Part of what I do is proof of concept because if you can achieve this in the north of England near Liverpool, and if other people can replicate it in Australia, New Zealand, North America, maybe it's true.

  12. What's difficult though is not to become confused. Because you have the newspaper saying eggs are good, eggs are bad. And then you have this expert who's saying this and another expert saying the other. I think what I've tried to do He's base what I say on real world data and that's different, so I'm I'm very careful to take baseline data from my patients and then update it all the time. So the publications I've done are based On the real world, the health service in the north of the UK, I can't cherry pick my patients. I'm allocated my patients by the state. So I can't just pick wealthy people or people that will live longer. I'm allocated people and that's that.

  15. Because that for you, you know, if I can, I might be able to tell you accurately you're going to die aged whatever of whatever, but if you can't do anything about it, you don't want to know. What you do want to know is what can I take action on? It's about optimizing, isn't it?

  16. I think one of just that makes me think of something when you're screening, I think the important point is that you don't just scare people. That it has to be linked to what can you do about it. I've had a lot of experience. Of scared patients So, GPs, we worry about screening because what happens is people do that and then people get scared and use up loads of appointments in the health service trying to sort out. What's good is if you do screening that relates to actionable points and then you help the people understand what they can do and Avoid leaving them as just worried.

  17. I mean, that sounds okay, really. Yeah. I mean, one of the worries that one of the clinical things I find is honestly, if you ask people how many supplements they're taking, there's a carrier bag comes in and there's a blue one and a yellow one. And it is possible to oversupplement. Quite easily. Particularly maybe vitamin D. You can know various vitamins. You handed this as well. Oh, that's vitamin D. Fine. Fine. So I think that's I would agree with you basically.

  18. Well, that combined, but everybody, and particularly in the, most people just don't get enough sunshine. It'd be better if you could do it with sun. But yeah, vitamin D is very, very important.

  19. So your blood magnesium, the serum magnesium doesn't reflect what's going on because magnesium is mainly inside your cells. So you have to get the intracellular magnesium level. But do you know what? It's just easier to try magnesium supplement and see how you feel. So do you take magnesium?

  20. But it's better than that. At the same time, I had a patient that I couldn't work out why he was fitting. I was really fond of this guy and I kept being called out and admitting him to intensive care fitting. And we couldn't work out it wasn't a brain tumour. Why was he fitting? And I expect you've joined the dots it was magnesium deficiency because of medication he was on. And that's the first time I ever seriously thought about magnesium, so most interesting, subject very important. And modern diet is most people of magnesium deficient. And the problem is you can't measure it.

  21. And she drove me into Lancashire, and there was a field of cows, and she said, I have bought you any one of those cows, because I'd always wanted a cow, and we had a field. And what a woman is this. She knew I wanted, she went to the farmer in advance and prepaid for any cow and said, this field, I bought a cow. You just pick which one you like and he'll transport it home. How does this relate to magnesium you're wondering? Well, it does because the farmer said you can have whichever cow you like, but I've lost fifteen cows to a thing called the staggers this year and you cannot have the cow unless you promise me you'll buy magnesium supplements because the grass is now so short of magnesium that cows die fitting if you don't give them a magnesium. supplementation

  22. And it's relevant to magnesium. Go ahead. Right. So my wife and I, my wife Chen, we have this idea that if you love somebody, Then gifts are you should try and think what would that person like Don't buy somebody a present you would like It was Jen trying to get me to grow up. This is how she did it. So she said to me one day, right, get a coat and a pair of Wellingtons, I'm going to take you out.

  23. Have you got fast or slow bowels? You don't need to tell me. If you tend to be a bit constipated, magnesium citrate is very good. It helps, it's more laxative. You absorb some of it anyway. If your bowels are not a problem, and particularly if you're wanting better sleep or mood, magnesium glycinate or thrionate is actually crosses the blood brain barrier but won't help with constipation. So that's a very quick thing on a magnesium. Have we got time for me to tell you about the first cow I ever bought?

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  24. The tragedy is that although my aim would be to have you healthy with a real food diet, there are some things you cannot get in the diet now that your grandparents could, and one of them is magnesium. It's very, very difficult to get enough magnesium. Your diet without supplementation. And as you get older, you absorb the magnesium. Less and less. Also, a lot of medication interferes with magnesium absorption, particularly drugs for acidity. So magnesium supplementation for most people. In myself, it was magic at getting rid of muscle cramps. I sleep a lot better. I think we also need to talk about magnesium which magnesium because it varies a hell of a lot. This bit's embarrassing. Depends on your bowels.

  25. Right, so my point of view is if you can My gut reaction is to try and use diet. Give you what you need if you can A real food lowish carbohydrate diet is my preferred thing with plenty of protein in there and healthy fats. I'm very interested in farming and regenerative agriculture and all that kind of thing, and what I know is that the nutrient profile of crops grown today is not nearly as good as it was a hundred years ago. So we have some problems, and it's to do with the soil. If you keep just adding nitrogen and harvesting crops, those crops do not contain as much zinc or magnesium particularly. And so

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  26. Yeah. I mean, there's lots of other things you can do, but as is as... Simple way because you wait alone. As I said, it's where the fat is distributed. It's fat on your belly is more worrying than fat on your legs or on your arms, really.

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  27. But that is a very interesting thing for you. And as I say, it's insulin resistance tends to put weight on your belly. But you may have a very muscular abdomen. Let's pretend it's that, you know. But you're just about there. You're just about there. But it's a really simple test for everybody at home. Piece of string.

  28. The fattest part. Yeah, so be honest about the fat part. Can I You did it. Are you squeezing in? No, I'm not. Are you cheating? Let me see.

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  29. I think it's bigger than that. I'm interested in low cost ways for people to find out, well, how are you doing? How are you doing? And so one recognized way looking at metabolic health is Your waist should be less than half your height, so if we have a piece of string which we have there, I believe you're six foot one, let me go. And you've marked halfway. So half of that string should go around the fattest bit of your belly.

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  30. That's exactly the point. and it relates to another thing I like to tell you about as well this is Government figures. Every taxpayer in England pays an extra seven thousand pounds tax per year for the consequences of ultra processed food. Everybody's paying tax extra tax seven thousand pounds a year, and this is because it's not just the cost of the drugs. The bigger cost is the people not paying tax themselves and not able to work because they're ill. And that's two thirds of the cost is the lack of revenue because so much of our population isn't well enough to work and that's very, and a lot of it's young people too, it's very serious.

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  31. Yes They're looking at that. Now lifespan is hanging out there as sort of. Stuttering along, but health span is going down in the UK, and it's worth thinking why that is.

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  32. Also added to this equation people still Health And that's the idea of health span is very important because we know in the UK it's going down.

  33. Just I also think that's a very good strategy for dealing with problems like You know, your life must be so complicated. I can't begin to imagine how many problems you're solving and the complications and the people you deal with. And yet all of them are as nothing against a cancer diagnosis, aren't they? So that you would look at the problems you have right now and you'd laugh. Yesterday I was worried about the traffic or whatever. And I think it's a leveller mortality is a leveller. All my life I've been obsessed with death, and it worries me. I can't sort out in my head What does death mean or you know it really scared me when I was a child the idea of death but what it's given me is a drive to not waste time and to think about what's the best use of today and you seem to have that kind of energy as well

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  34. Diet is the next commonest cause of cancer. No, how serious does it have to get when you just gave all those references then? And I know that The junk food is linked to all cause mortality is linked to so many things. What are we prepared to sacrifice for enjoying treats and snacks? It's kind of, when you look at it like that, it's really bonkers, really bonkers.

  35. So, what I'd like to this is that is so interesting and it brings to mind a really important point. We talk so much round the world about treating cancer What about prevention? Because for your friend, that's a life sentence and she's living with uncertainty and fear. And when I tell patients they have cancer, you know, you feel it right here because you just took away so much. And it's interesting Do we try hard enough if we know that? Are we trying hard enough to prevent cancer? Because that's what we should be doing because we know a lot that I think after smoking we

So it's Fork in the Road with the idea in your journey which one are you going to pick? You see, so it's fork in the road, and She doesn't make any money from this, every penny goes to her charity that she's set up helping people with food addiction.

  38. Things I was eating. Jen did that with me. She knew that I was monitoring, so she starts hiding the wrappers, or then I'd find them in the car. But then we have a situation that we can no longer talk about it. So if somebody, if you're forcing somebody to become deceitful, you have to back off a little bit. Because that deceit then affects self esteem, and that can make them worse, and you didn't want to make them worse.

And another thing is sometimes the It helpful, you know, the people around you that love you. Maybe share with them. That That is important and that I might need some help. Please be tolerant with me, light cigarettes. Please be tolerant if I'm short tempered. I'm going to try and do this thing because it's important. The difficulty it depends whether the person that loves you can be gentle or if they're heavy handed. If you confess this and then they police your

  41. I should have done. Jen's a great believer in cold turkey. Like, what is the thing? Sop it. I wasn't man enough for that, and it took me a whole year. So the first thing is be honest, truth, be honest with yourself, even if you can't tell other people. Be honest with yourself. Is there an addictive potential there? Could that be, does that fit? Number two specifically which foods is your problem and be honest Because if you're not honest, then number three is have a plan for abstinence. Because if there is got an addictive potential, It won't be one biscuit. And we all who, you know, how many of us have said, I'm going to give up ice cream or biscuits or pizza or whatever it is.

  43. So the first thing is honesty and that's very hard for people. All of us have made excuses. You know, me and my biscuits, I believed that it was easier for me to think that that was stress and a reasonable reaction to the stress of running a practice than it was to say, I've got, you know, biscuits for me, it took me a year to give them up. A year. How pathetic is that I was so driven it took me a whole year. How did you give money?

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  44. Great, right? So step one, we just did it. I think step one is acknowledging that is your problem. Because if you're not honest about your problem, how are you ever going to sort it out? Honesty.

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  46. I mean, that's a very extreme example. But many people with overweight and some who are not overweight are struggling with very, very significant carb cravings and they really, really struggle to control them.

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  47. Then he vanished for a while and came back with two dead toes and he had to have the amputated. Dead toes. Yeah. They started rotting because diabetes takes the blood supply, particularly from your toes, so we had to have surgery to have part of his foot removed. And so you call it Cob Creep, and he ended up with half his foot taken off. That's not carb creep, something far more sinister. But I never give up and unfortunately the wounds took a long time to heal because he was sugary, so we do it all over again. I got him back into remission. Because this time he and his wife are really determined, but it's a struggle, and he needs help and support to achieve that. He's not a foolish man. He's an intelligent man, and yet various foods call to him. Eat me, eat me, and it's very difficult for him to not. And that

    2026-05-18 · The Diary of a CEO · Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  48. And bread is a common one, and if you're not addicted to bread you can't imagine it. If you are addicted to bread, they say this sounds so stupid. I'm so embarrassed to tell you I can't control how I eat bread. So it's not great for your self esteem, is it People might be addicted to many things. And my wife's published many papers on this and written a book and this, that and the other. And she would say about 14% of the population. As some aspects of ultra processed food addiction. It kind of explained so much why are intelligent people eating foods they know do them harm? I've got another example one of my patients with type two diabetes we got drug free remission Hooray I've done that now one hundred fifty seven times so every one of them I'm cheering when it happens so this guy we did it drug free remission

  49. One of those. And the three together. He managed to not he couldn't moderate but he could abstain, and then he could do it. The Azempic helped reduce the noise, the cravings in his head, the feedback from the CGM helped him know how he was doing, and the support he got from me and the low carb pulled together and all three and he's had his operation now so it's a happy story but he's got maintenance. All his life he's going to have to sort that out and it's a wonderful example because I think we trivialize this we call it carb creep like it doesn't matter but there are many people listening to us right now and they know they know they're addicted to various foods they know because when you ask them they often burst into tears. Often somebody will say I've never told anybody in my entire life
