5pm Today, Free Diabetes Webinar with Brian Mowl

[KevinPotts]

Brian is the founder of the Diabetes Summit and is o e of the most influential, broad ranging and I depth annual summits.

Has anybody else signed up for tonight's summit?

Tonight he's talking about reversing diabetes T2 and specifically:

"The 4 Subtypes of Type 2 Diabetes - This is new and updated information that I'll share regarding the 4 Subtypes of Type 2 Diabetes and how to determine which one describes you.

The Optimal Diet for your Subtype - Once you understand your Subtype, Dr. Mowll will describe how to construct the optimal diet for you.

The Top 10 Factors - Learn the 10 vital factors that control and regulate blood sugar. You must address these to reverse type 2 diabetes.

Helpful Supplements - Dr. Mowll will review important information about which supplements work and which ones don't.

The Blueprint - Learn the FIVE step Blueprint to correct blood sugar and reverse type 2 diabetes."

It was very informative.

I learned a couple of new things and took notes, so will summarise first thing tomorrow morning as I'm about to go out for the evening now!


Diagnosed 13/4/16: T2, no meds, HbA1c 53, FBG 12.6, Trigs 3.6, HDL .75, LDL 4.0, BP 169/95, 13st 8lbs, waist 34" (2012 - 17st 7lbs, w 42").

2/6/16: FBG AV 4.6, Trigs 1.5, HDL 2.0, LDL 3.0, BP 120/72, 11st 11lbs, waist 30" (2012 - 17st 7lbs, w 42").

Regime: 20g LCHF, run 1 mile daily, weekly fasting.

6/6/16: Three BP readings now 112/64 & 112/66, 113/65

Thanks for offering to summarise @KevinPotts very helpful

 

[KevinPotts]

So, Brian www.drbrianmowll.com stated that there are 4 subtypes of T2, I've never heard this before.

Here they are:

Type O: Overinsulnised - 60% - 65% of presenting patients: typically overweight, high insulin, high trigs, inflammation, other high metabolic markers.

Type I : Insulin Reduction Induced - insulin lacking production. Typically presents with normal/underweight. Often fairly normal sugars. Not t2 or t1.5.

Type H: Hormone induced - Possible adrenal fatigue/exhaustion, hypothyroid issues. Quite typical in women with a "puppy type" body, whatever that means - I think he meant weight gain throughout the body? Usually normal insulin levels. Test the TSH, T4, + T3. Blood sugar dis-regulation driven in combination by thyroid, sex hormones, adrenals etc.

Type S: Stress induced. Typically high sugar in the morning, high cortisol, normal weight. BG can spike after exercise. NOT Dawn Phenomenon.

Only way to narrow down is via combination of HbA1C, liver, kidneys, cytokines,(interleukin etc), subtraction profiles for amount and size of LDL organic acid tests for quality of mitochondria and CoQ10....you'll be very lucky if your NHS (UK) Dr knows or can get a fraction of these tested...haha

Factors and therapeutic regime with each subtype:

O: LCHF, ketogenic diet. 2-3 meals a day max to help Leptin hormone which manages satiety sensitivity. Cardio, HITT, resistance training, intermittent fasting. More sleep, less stress. This group is very carb sensitive.

I: Low carb, but NOT LCHF. Eat more often as important to keep the body in a fed state. Stimulate insulin secretion, use of BCAA (branch chain amino acids), Cur-curium, black cumin seed oil which helps the beta cells.

H: More carbs - 100-150g, per day. Eat more midday and less in the evening.

S: Avoid caffeine, include adaptogenic herbs, lifestyle modifications for stress reduction - easier said than done

Treatment of Dawn Phenomenon:

- Intermittent fasting
- Eat more in the middle of the day, less at dinner
- Introduce Green Tea and Coffee Bean extract supplements
- Introduce Berberine
- Introduce Cortisol reduction inhibitor supplement before bed

10 Factors That Affect Diabetes T2 ( some more commonly known than others):

1. Body fat

2. Diet and nutrition

3. Physical activity

4. Sleep - interestingly he referenced a recent piece of research suggesting just 1 bad night's sleep is worse than 6 months of a bad diet ...ahhh that's me finished with then

5. Metabolic function: liver, kidneys, pancreas - is your fuel source sugar or fat? Often the obvious test is can you cope with prolonged fasting easily? If so you are fat burning as your primary fuel source and likely to be on an LCHF/Ketogenic lifestyle.

6. Gut health - micro-biome, a great deal of chronic inflammation starts here.

7. Chronic inflammation.

8. Hormone disfunction/imbalance.

9. Nutrient status as in vits and minerals.

10. I missed 10

Should I Be Taking Supplements:

His short answer was yes due to severe depletion in foods today.

1. Chromium

2. D

3. Alaruric acid (I haven't spelt that correctly and can't remember)

4. DHA and EPA - fatty acids found in fish oil. Reduces trigs and counters inflammation

5. Silvestra - heals beta cells

6. Berberine - alkaloid compound, used in regulating glucose. Very similar as a natural to Metformin and has been tested alongside and mimics many of its therapeutic effects.

7. Cur-cumin - helps heal Beta cells in the pancreas.

8. B vitamins improves BG response.

9. Fibre - at least 20g per day and preferably 30-40g per day

10. Msg Seoul.

11. Zinc.

12. Quality pro-biotic for but with at least 5 billion creepy crawlies.

Well that's it from me. 1 hour of concentrated info, but by far the most interesting was his expose on the 4 subtypes

Apologies for grammar and typos...it's still only 6 30AM and don't forget this précis is just that....it is not my recommendations

An interesting summary.
His advice not to particularly low carb for hormone induced diabetes is interesting.

Although, looking at his breakdown, I seem to crossover into 3 of those groups.

 

[Brunneria]

Thanks Kevin.

Some of the blanket supplementation advice strikes me as a bit dodgy, especially as some people go silly over supplements and start taking huge amounts without proper research. Berberine being a case in point. Would NOT want to combine that one with Metformin!!!

Did he mention steroid induced D at all? Maybe he is counting that as Stress Induced.

 

[tim2000s]

I have to admit, the Berberine jumped out at me as well.

I think I cross into two, O and S, although the circumstances precipitating S have now largely disappeared thank goodness.

The dangers of combing Metformin and Berberine is well made. He didn't pick this up, but it would be easy to fall into this trap.

Dr Brian Mowll - or to give him his official title 'Brian Mowll' is a quack - he's not an actual doctor, he's a chiropractor and 'dietician' without any proper medical qualifications (if you don't count a 'certficate of completion' - 'completion?' in 'Functional Endocrinology' from a correspondence school

He basically has no scientific evidence for his theories and his qualifications come from Hogwarts - sorry I mean the IFM, who just talk ******** and offer correspondence courses in made up ****. Here's the Quackwatch page for its founder: http://www.quackwatch.com/04ConsumerEducation/bland.html

let's not let uneducated supplement/snake oil salesman give us advice.

Well I was certainly impressed with him as the host of the Diabetes Summit.

Mark Hyman author of Eat Fat Get Thin, his mentor is also the chairman of the Institute of Functional Medicine,the organisation with which Mowll trained.

I have no reason to believe he does not have a legitimate doctorate in Functional Medicine

Why does the fact that he is not a doctor of medicine disqualify his legitimacy to have expertise in the field of diabetes?

The IFM is a fake organistion, trying to look like an educational establishment, but they're just a certificate factory to give apparent legitimacy to supplement sellers, Mark Hyman is a supplement/book salesman and he's not afraid to plumb the depths of 'alternative' medicine and spout pseudoscientific nonsense to sell them, 'Function Medicine' is meaningless, it's just a way of making 'alternative' medicine - quackery in other words - sound more scientific. There's a lot here: https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.or...-woo-with-mark-hyman-and-functional-medicine/

http://americanloons.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/789-mark-hyman.html

http://www.salon.com/2009/03/12/mark_hyman/

he's a big anti-vaccer and believer in MMR causes Vaccines - which alone puts him on my personal hate list.

 

[KevinPotts]

I've just had a pretty thorough look at the IFM website and it appears to focus on enhancing and transforming Health Care Professionals with the Functional Medicine model and skills.

I'm still open minded until proven otherwise.

I think what @KevinPotts is saying is....
It's a fine line between being an expert and not. At what stage do you class a person as an expert @ChrisSamsDad ?
I'm open minded too.
Most of what he said we mostly know but its nice to have it noted officially.
Newies can benefit by his explanation, instead of hours of reading matter to discover it.
Just another opinion but I'm willing to listen and then make my own mind up. Thanks @KevinPotts for highlighting summit. I do appreciate it.

Yebbut, 'Functional Medicine' is meaningless, it's not even a thing, it's just marketing splooge. Of course they made a slick website, con artists are always smooth. Everything it says is meaningless and just using buzzwords without any real meaning, e.g.

• Acknowledging the biochemical individuality of each human being, based on concepts of genetic and environmental uniqueness
• Incorporating a patient-centered rather than a disease-centered approach to treatment
• Seeking a dynamic balance among the internal and external factors in a patient’s body, mind, and spirit
• Addressing the web-like interconnections of internal physiological factors
• Identifying health as a positive vitality—not merely the absence of disease—and emphasizing those factors that encourage a vigorous physiology
• Promoting organ reserve as a means of enhancing the health span, not just the life span, of each patient
• Functional Medicine is a science-using profession

Can you seriously not smell the reek of snake oil?

I don't smell snake oil. I smell common sense. All depends on your perspective, I guess.

Seems strange that the Cleveland Clinic, one of the premier medical centres in the USA, has now set up a Functional Medicine clinic under the direction of Dr Mark Hyman, if all he is a snake oil salesman according to your world view.

But he's not a scientist or researcher, he's just a supplement and book salesman. He doesn't do research, either scientific or journalistic, he's not a science communicator, because he can and does make up any old ****. He's using a very dodgy establishment to claim some sort of qualification in a made-up subject - what I'm saying is, he's and his advice is not to be trusted.

I know there are several problems with medical science, but the answer is usually more thorough and scientific approaches, not just being able to make **** up and write books without evidence.
