Dr. Saemann is a Professor for nephrology at the Sigmund-Freud University, and the Director of the 6th Med Dept, Nephrology & Dialysis, Wilhelminenhospital Vienna, Austria. He has more than 20 years of experience in all branches of nephrology including the whole spectrum of clinical nephrology, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney diseases, kidney transplantation, kidney-pancreas transplantation, intensive care nephrology, all extracorporal strategies such as hemodialysis, hemofiltration, peritoneal dialysis, along with plasmapheresis including immunoadsorption. Further clinical focus is the treatment of both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus especially with chronic kidney disease (diabetic kidney disease).
Dr. Saemann, who has type-1 diabetes, discovered the benefits of ketogenic metabolic therapy (KMT) for his own condition. He discusses with Dr. Weimbs how he is very successfully using KMT with his patients with chronic kidney disease. Using KMT, in conjunction with classical pharmacological interventions has been a game-changer in clinical practice for Dr. Saemann and his team.
Dr. Saladino is the leading authority on the science and application of the carnivore diet. He has used this diet to reverse autoimmunity, chronic inflammation and mental health issues in hundreds of patients, many of whom had been told their conditions were untreatable. In addition to his personal podcast, Fundamental Health, he can be found featured on numerous podcasts including The Minimalists, The Model Health Show, Bulletproof Radio, The Dr. Gundry Podcast, The Ben Greenfield Podcast, Dr. Mercola, Health Theory, Mark Bell’s Power Project, and many others. He has also appeared on The Doctors TV show and on many other prominent media outlets
Dr. Saladino completed residency at the University of Washington and attended medical school at the University of Arizona where he focused on integrative medicine and nutritional biochemistry. Prior to medical school, Dr. Saladino worked as a physician assistant in cardiology. It was during this time that he saw first hand the shortcomings of mainstream Western medicine with its symptom focused, pharmaceutical based paradigm. He decided to return to medical school with the hope of better understanding the true roots of chronic disease and illness, and how to correct and reverse these. He now maintains a private practice in San Diego, California, and sees clients from all over the world virtually.
When he is not researching connections between nutritional biochemistry and chronic disease, he can be found in the ocean searching for the perfect wave, cultivating mindfulness, or spending time with friends and family.

Adrienne C. Scheck, PhD, is an Adjunct Professor at Arizona State University and the Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) and an Associate Investigator in the Cancer Biology Program at the University of Arizona. She received her BA from the University of Rochester and her PhD from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. After a postdoctoral fellowship in viral oncology at Pennsylvania State College of Medicine she moved to Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to study AIDS-related dementia.
Here she began studies of brain tumors and moved to the BNI in 1989. Dr. Scheck is an acknowledged leader in the field of metabolic alteration as an adjunct to standard therapies to improve survival and minimize side effects in cancer patients. Her laboratory studies the use of the therapeutic ketogenic diet (KD) for the treatment of gliomas and has demonstrated that it reduces the growth of gliomas through a variety of mechanisms and potentiates standard therapy efficacy.

Dr. Bret Scher is a board certified cardiologist and lipidologist practicing in San Diego and licensed to practice in seven states. He’s our full-time Medical Director, writes medical blogs, reviews guides and news stories for medical accuracy and hosts The Diet Doctor Podcast.
Dr. Scher’s main focus is on preventing and reversing heart disease naturally rather than putting patients on medication and performing surgery. When he started his own preventative wellness center he was introduced to the whole low-carb world. Being a bit skeptical at first, he was soon convinced by the benefits of a low-carb diet.
In Dr. Scher’s many patients suffering from heart disease, he found that there was a big overlap with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. It was all very interrelated. When he started treating his patients who suffered from heart disease with a low-carb diet, he could quickly see signs of improvements or even full reversal in all of these diseases.
Dr. Scher has also obtained specialized certifications in functional medicine, nutrition, personal training, and behavior modification.
He is also the author of the book Your best health ever!, and he has a blog and website at lowcarbcardiologist.com.

Diagnosed with T1 Diabetes at age 11, Suzanne has lived experience of the challenges of managing chronic health through diet. As a young competitive athlete, she developed a deep awareness of the impact of food on performance and body image. Unfortunately, she was also diagnosed with end-stage renal disease in her early 30’s and it was only after spending 3 years on dialysis, and receiving a double organ transplant, that she started to question the nutrition guidance she had been given.
This led her to study a Master’s (Honours) degree in Nutrition and Behaviour, followed by a research PhD, investigating the impact of the Ketogenic Diet in T1D, and particularly its impact on eating disorder outcomes.

Bill Schindler is not your traditional anthropologist. Specializing in primitive technology and experimental archeology at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland where he is associate professor, he uses a teaching approach that he calls “soul authorship” to immerse students in experiences that teach them first-hand about primitive technologies and ways of life practiced by our prehistoric ancestors.
Two years ago, he gained a unique first-hand perspective into the lives of our ancestors by literally “living” the 10 most important prehistoric time periods over the past 2.5 million years during his work on the National Geographic Show, The Great Human Race. By using his skills to replicate and use the tools specific to each time period to survive, he recreated what their lives were like in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and North America.
Today, he applies prehistoric-focused approaches in experimental archeology to address a major issue facing humans today: diet. By reconnecting with the food of our ancient ancestors, Bill believes that we can find solutions to building a more sustainable, healthful food systems. In this quest, Bill, who holds a Ph.D. from Temple University, completed a year-long research endeavor, The Food Evolutions Project, through which he and his family travelled the world working with indigenous groups, traditional societies, and Michelin Star chefs. Most recently, he just launched the Eastern Shore Food Lab at Washington College, a center dedicated to using experimental archaeology, archeology, anthropology, and modern culinary arts to empower the public to reconnect with their food, take control of what they eat, and learn to eat like humans again!

Debra is a friend of mine. I met her through member of the Diabetes.co.uk forum. She now helps her local doctor’s groups. She made this video from a patient’s perspective.
Completely free, at her own expense (like me) because she, like me, believes those with T2 should know how to transform their futures. This is a practical summary of how to implement a way of eating that will keep T2 in remission over the long term.
