154: Wendy Armstrong – Carnivore Nurse

Wendy Armstrong  Wendy Armstrong says: I have been qualified as a nurse for 26 years. The last 16 of those years has been as a practice nurse in the same practice specialising in the management of Type 2 diabetes. I had always questioned why we treat a disease of insulin resistance with drugs that increase insulin secretion or with insulin itself.  In 2015 I read the 8 week blood sugar diet book and it all clicked. I started eating low carb myself having gone gluten-free after seeing a naturopath in 2017 to help reverse post viral fatigue then gradually I have transitioned to keto then 16 months ago to a more carnivore way of eating.   Wendy’s Top Tips If you are carnivore, you have to eat the fats – particularly animal fats. Electrolytes are your friend and your saviour. Circadian rhythms and the sun are important – perhaps more important than diet – Get early morning, midday and late afternoon sun every day.   Resources Mentioned The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet: Lose weight fast and reprogramme your body: Lose weight and reprogramme your body – Dr Michael Mosley Elizbeth Bright The Iodine Crisis: What You Don’t Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life – Lynne Farrow Freshwell Play Store App Freshwell Apple App Store Jack Kruse Connect with Wendy Armstrong on social media Twitter: https://twitter.com/lowcarblass Facebook Page: Low Carb Carlisle   The Fabulously Keto Diet & Lifestyle Journal: A 12-week journal to support new habits – Jackie Fletcher If you have enjoyed listening to this episode – Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.
