161 Overcoming PCOS: Finding Hope and Healing

In today’s thought provoking episode, Dr Mary explores the current debate ignited by Taryn Brumfitt, 2023 Australian of the Year, around whether doctors should reconsider discussing weight during routine consultations with their patients. Dr Mary shares her unique perspective as a weight loss doctor focussed on metabolic healing rather than reducing the number on the scales. In a society plagued by a cultural obsession with thinness but ensnared in an insidious food environment fueling insulin resistance and obesity, Dr Mary weaves a compelling case for shifting our focus away from aesthetics and prioritising metabolic health. She recounts her own struggles with the dark cloud of body hatred as it followed her from childhood to recent years and how she has finally learned to love and appreciate her body, jiggly bits and all. You’ll love listening to the impassioned Dr Mary changing the conversation around health and weight, as she navigates this complex topic with nuance and compassion. Learn how it’s possible to embrace the body positivity movement while also advocating for metabolic health, with weight loss being a happy side effect, rather than the goal. This engaging episode invites you to join the dialogue around whether the topic of weight when visiting your doctor for other reasons is necessary or taboo.

160 What This Doctor Has to Say About Weight Loss

In today’s passionate conversation, Dr Mary is joined by self-proclaimed “crazy eyes” low carb zealot, Dr Penny Figtree, to discuss how the pharmaceutical industry and the food products industry have infiltrated and corrupted our health in their relentless pursuit of profits. Listen as Dr Penny eloquently pulls back the curtain to expose the stronghold the pharmaceutical industry has over the medical profession, and how unwitting doctors have become sales people for these corporations. Discover the detrimental health consequences stemming from the pervasive and powerful food industry, intent on pushing non-nutritive manufactured products while demonising the real food staples that have provided sustenance and nourishment to humanity for countless millennia. Dr Penny makes it easy to understand why so many of us are on a seemingly inevitable path of declining health. You’ll hear how stumbling across the carbohydrate insulin model of obesity led Dr Penny to see the profound effect of nutrition on her patients’ health, and how she now embraces her role as a low carb enthusiast, unapologetically driving positive change. You’ll be inspired to reject the role of ‘consumerism unit’ for these powerful industries as Dr Penny gives us permission to step away from the cereals and orange juice, and nourish ourselves with lamb chops for breakfast instead! This is a brilliant episode with a fiery Dr Mary and a passionate Dr Penny inviting you to challenge the status quo, get reacquainted with the deli meats at your supermarket, rekindle your love for traditional meat and veg, ditch the bird seed, and discover the empowering alternatives that lie in embracing real food and a low carb lifestyle.

155 When to Slow and When to Go

Welcome to the Real Health and Weight Loss Podcast where you get Real advice from Real Doctors to help you lose weight and revolutionise your health not just now but permanently. You can change your future, starting now.  Imagine if everything you had been told about weight loss was wrong.  We are here to bust through some myths and give you actionable advice. Real health and weight loss is a journey and we, your hosts Dr Mary Barson and Dr Lucy Burns from Real Life Medicine, are here with you every step of the way. 

Join Dr Lucy Burns and guest, Nikki Simpson, for a captivating conversation around the world of lipoedema, diet culture, and the power of real food in healing both the body and mind. Lipoedema, a condition affecting the adipose (fatty) tissue of the body, remains widely undiagnosed, silently affecting countless women. Nikki courageously shares her personal journey of self diagnosing lipoedema after many years of believing that her growing lower body was due to overeating. This misguided belief led to a long deep plunge into diet culture, where she embarked on a relentless cycle of restriction, low fat eating, and excessive exercise. Dismissed by many healthcare practitioners, Nikki used her expertise as a medical scientist to research why adhering to the prevailing advice around calories and exercise was not working. This scientific exploration led her to the life changing benefits of a keto diet, which in turn led to a profound healing of the chronic fatigue and debilitating pain that Nikki had endured for years.  Tune in to this compelling episode to discover how Nikki's journey towards healing unfolded, the book that launched both Dr Lucy and Nikki on their paths to real health, and the health levers Dr Lucy prescribes for taking control of your own health, ditching the diets for good!

You are going love today’s empowering episode as Dr Mary and Dr Lucy delve into the topic of embracing being a "Hoti" - Healthy On The Inside! In a world obsessed with thinness, ripped abs, and the pursuit of being a "hottie" at any cost, the doctors explore the profound benefits of prioritising internal wellbeing over external aesthetics. You’ll  learn about the transformative and achievable steps of simplifying your diet and nourishing your cells, creating metabolic health that goes far beyond mere physical appearance. Dr Mary debunks the notion that health can be defined by external beauty standards, unravelling the food politics, fat politics and environment politics behind our epidemic of metabolic disease and our cultural obsession with thinness. Dr Lucy dives into how the food industry prioritises profits over our health, exposing the unsettling truth about the marketing tactics that trap us in a cycle of craving and consumption, as we unwittingly compromise our health for perceived bargains. You’ll love the doctors’ valuable insights into how to reject your role as an individual consumerism unit to big business, and reclaim your health and future as an actual human being. So brace yourself for a revealing discussion about the true definition of health, how our incredibly complex cells need simple actions to thrive, why staying out of hospital is one of the best ways you can help the environment, and why being a hoti is so much hotter than being a hottie!

152 KISS the carbs goodbye: simple steps to improve your health

Are you stuck in an endless cycle, unable to escape old habits? Does the fear of failure or the fear of missing out hold you back from living a healthy and fulfilling life? In today’s powerful episode, you’ll hear Dr Mary beautifully explain how fear is a master storyteller weaving stories that can become ingrained in our minds, convincing us that we are destined for perpetual disappointment. Dr Lucy discusses FOMO (fear of missing out), and FOSO - a Dr Lucyism for “fear of standing out,” sharing how these fears can be dismantled with the right tools, the right mentors, and the right tribe. You’ll hear how the doctors’ signature 12 Week Mind Body Rebalance program prioritises these three pillars of change, focussing on nourishing your mind and your cells, rather than fixating on the numbers on the scales. Dr Lucy explains why weight loss is chemistry not maths, and how traditional dieting methods ignore the intricate chemistry in our cells, inevitably leading to nutrient deficiencies and weight re-gain. Learn how the empowering 12 Week Mind Body Rebalance program encourages nourishment rather than punishment and abundance rather than deprivation, as well as offering a supportive community and live mentorship from both Dr Lucy and Dr Mary to help you reach your health and weight loss goals. Join the passionate Dr Lucy and compassionate Dr Mary on this transformative path, where fear loses its grip, and a balanced, healthy life awaits.

151 Is fear stopping you from achieving your weight loss goals?

In today’s informative episode, Dr Lucy is joined by Carla Veith-Carter, a psychologist and nutritionist, whose own health journey dealing with chronic metabolic dysfunction and fibromyalgia led her to a low carb, and eventually ketogenic, lifestyle. Carla shares how the anti-inflammatory effects of the ketogenic diet dramatically changed her health, and how she went from having so little energy that she was barely functioning, to running a business, caring for her family, sleeping well and thriving in her body, her career and her life. Dr Lucy highlights the medical community's tendency to dismiss patients with complex conditions, such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, as being too difficult to treat. She also explains how she educates medical students on the importance of avoiding unhelpful questions that may cause shame or embarrassment for overweight patients. You’ll hear why one biscuit is a blip and a whole packet is a big hole, and how to reframe the self sabotaging stories in your mind so your blips don’t become big holes.  Carla explains why the most important part of nutrition is in your mind, and why using smaller plates is not the answer to losing weight. This episode is a powerful testament to why a low carb and ketogenic lifestyle is far more than just a weight loss tool, and why you shouldn’t fill your garage to the brim the day before you plan to empty it!Episode, show notes and transcript:https://www.rlmedicine.com/150  Tickets are now on sale for The Low Carb Road Show: https://www.rlmedicine.com/the-low-carb-road-show  To hear Carla Veith-Carter speak at Low Carb Road Show Hobart:https://www.rlmedicine.com/the-low-carb-road-show-hobart  Carla’s website: https://ketobydesign.com.au/  Carla’s Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/keto_by_design/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

148 A Low Carb Unicorn

In today’s motivating episode, Dr Lucy is joined by outspoken low carb legend Dr Peter Brukner for an eye opening and entertaining discussion. Dr Brukner recaps his personal journey from being a metabolically unwell sports physician to a reluctant but determined advocate for low carb real food. He shares his concerns about the lack of attention given to type 2 diabetes, despite it being the biggest single health issue in Australia, and sheds light on the sneaky ways sugar is added to our food, with most processed food products containing far more sugar than people realise. You’ll hear how the marketing juggernaut that is the processed food industry has propagated myths to persuade us to choose taste and convenience over nutrition and health, and why Dr Lucy sees ‘Up and Go’ as the shining example of this practice! This inspirational discussion between two knowledgeable and passionate doctors is filled with a wealth of information for anyone interested in reclaiming their health, including the answer to the burning question, can you reverse type 2 diabetes?

146 Navigating the confusing world of feeding your family

In this informative episode, Dr Lucy and Dr Mary explore the fascinating world of mindset and its impact on weight loss and overall health. Dr Mary shares valuable insights into the importance of examining the stories our brains tell us, and understanding where these stories come from so we can work towards overcoming limiting, and untrue, beliefs. Hear how the unhelpful thoughts triggered by the words “no sugar” have led to the rebranding of the doctors' 7 day program, No Sugar Challenge, to the Low Carb Real Food Challenge, and how the name change more accurately reflects Real Life Medicine's philosophy of abundance and choice, rather than a restrictive, deprivation based approach to weight loss. This episode is a great listen for anyone wanting to learn why mindset is not discipline, how to create and cultivate confidence (tip: it is not from drinking a magical elixir), how to become an overnight success in 10 years' time...and much more!  Episodes, show notes and transcript:www.rlmedicine.com/145  Low Carb Real Food Challenge:www.rlmedicine.com/realfood See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
