- This is Brad, Sarah's husband. It has been a heartbreaking week. Sarah always wanted to find ways to be of service to people with type 2 diabetes. She was relentless in using her voice to help others. We are grateful for your support in keeping her spirit alive.Sarah's family and friends are founding a non-profit as a legacy for @DrSarahHallberg We plan to continue her passion for educating people about the possibility of reversing a T2 diabetes diagnosis--and will dedicate work to this extraordinary legacy. gofundme.com/f/dr-sarahs-le…
- A little update on my cancer journey. My family and I have received a joyful Christmas gift. I wish love, health and happiness for all those suffering from chronic disease this holiday season!
- I received good news on Monday. No new tumors despite being off all treatment for 6 weeks. 3 existing tumors have grown, but only one substantially. This is a great day for someone with EGFR lung cancer! @EGFRResisters @LUNGevity
- I want to thank everyone for all the amazing support you have given me. I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon and I remain in the fight towards improved health FOR ALL as I am remarkably still in remission. There is still so much to be done!
- I have been asked on twitter for a list of low-carb studies. I promised it soon and here it is!
- I am so frustrated when nutrition researchers continue to use the term low carbohydrate diet when the intake was 40%! This is much closer to a SAD diet and leads to more confusion and mistrust of the entire nutrition community. A low carb diet is <26%! Very low carb is <10%!
- So, I have been a patient advocate for years. Some things I believe as a physician and as a human: 1. People are inherently worthy, 2. We need to stop blaming people for their disease (far too often still occurs with obesity and T2D) 3. Medicine does not have all the answers
- Parenting is hard. Period. We all screw up constantly. The struggle when you have advanced cancer is that you you won't be around to laugh at yourself with your kids when the are older and help them make better decisions. You just hope they will forgive your imperfections.
- The literature is full of papers blaming a high fat diet on increased levels of serum SFA. However, the evidence shows that it is actually the background CARBOHYDRATE consumption that causes an increase in serum SFA. This is CRITICAL to understand.
- So frustrating! There is a solution to obesity and metabolic disease. Doing the same thing over and over and then blaming those suffering is NOT the answer. We need to embrace therapeutic carb restriction and disease reversal! #choiceWhy are health officials not talking more about obesity + #Covid deaths? Is it bc they have no real solutions? Bc diets, such as cutting sugars, starches, make no $ and are (thus) opposed by industry? Silence on such an important subject is deafening. thehill.com/policy/healthc…
- Low carb diets were left out INTENTIONALLY. The inclusion criteria was specifically set up to exclude them. This type of anti-science behavior MUST stop. Please call your Member of Congress. THIS CAN'T WAIT - there are too many lives at risk. RT please!Virtually every low-carb study will be ignored when the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee presents its draft report on June 17. It is unacceptable. Tell your Member of Congress to delay this report!lowcarbaction.org/take-action/?v…
- Honest representation of evidence is important. How many people have heard someone say that a low carb diet is associated with increased mortality? There is no evidence for this. Here are all the studies that make that claim. None were actually low carb. Much closer to SAD.
- Replying to @DrSarahHallbergwalking in the shoes of someone with chronic disease when it comes to COVID or, well, anything. No one makes a choice to live with a chronic disease. @TB_Times bit.ly/38Bbe6S
