Practices in Chicago Became interested in diabetes more enthusiastically when his wife was diagnosed Easier to care more when it is in your home "Breakfast as the most important meal" was a campaign by Quaker NOT eating breakfast is actually healthier Particularly serves African American clients Help as many people as possible not have a bad outcome while still allowing them to maintain their culture People only seek things that justify their approach THAT'S a huge issue with health People aren't willing to hear that they're wrong LOOK for alternate opinions and delve into them Dr. Hampton is a straight shooter - These are the facts, here is the evidence. Here's what to do with that. DIET AND DIABETES When Dr. Hampton really started looking into all of this, he found the works of Jason Fung, and others like him He realized the diabetes meds only treat the syptoms People still have heart attacks and strokes while on meds He wanted to treat the cause, not the symptoms Realized insulin resistance was the problem Took YouTube, not med school, to learn this Dr. Hampton had some diabetes patients that tried intermittent fasting with incredible results IF saves money and time Wrote a fantastic book - Fix Your Diet, Fix Your Diabetes INTERMITTENT FASTING IF allows your body to heal more You need to rest to heal Even if you're lean, your body has enough fat (especially when the meals you do eat are fatty) to make energy Went from 5% to 40-50% engagement once he pressed a big meat diet! Previously recommended vegetarian diet Show people how to eat, keep it simple ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS How you eat, and your health depends on your environment For example, in stressful environments, your hormones will be messed up and easier to eat crap Socio-economic status has a large effect Poorer communities tend to eat worse Some of it is culture! Ex: not eating chili with corn bread is blasphemous in some communities Have to thing of it in terms of choices: ex: if I don't eat the pasta, I can keep my eyesight Also, don't put your life in the hands of others Use your choices to educate others in your environment
