Dr. Unwin also conducts research on the effects of a low-carb diet on various health conditions and promotes sustainable farming practices.

Dr Davies was interviewed by Jodie R Bruning (88 minutes)

In 2021 Dr Davies was awarded New Zealand, General Practitioner of the Year, at the New Zealand Primary Healthcare Awards for his work in this field.

This fascinating discussion looks at the drivers that led to Glen’s shift in professional focus. This includes a key patient urging that Glen looked into keto, which then led to Glen researching the scientific evidence, and the experiences of other doctors. Glen’s shift to focussing on reversing T2 diabetes with ketogenic dietary protocols, has been rapid.

It's not just Glen - community groups meet to discuss their own dietary transition, and patients are supported by health coaches. This talk will appeal to GPs and non-GPs alike and is heavily referenced. Dr Davies success has arisen from a multi-pronged approach, supporting the individual, helping them understand the science, and understanding that change happens differently for all patients/clients. The community working/information groups have been a major force for change.

The Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Taupō (RT2DT) group works to support community-driven lifestyle and dietary change to nourishing whole unprocessed foods and natural fats; and away from refined/processed carbohydrates, industrial seed oils and sugar.

Belinda Fettke is a former Registered Nurse, photographer and the proud co-founder of 'Nutrition For Life' in Launceston which provides medically based nutritional care around Tasmania and Australia.

Belinda is also a staunch supporter of the health benefits of Low Carb, Healthy Fat eating and in recent years has taken a more central role in advocating LCHF following the investigation of her husband, Dr. Gary Fettke, by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). The investigation focused on Gary’s qualifications to give nutritional advice.

This investigation (which lasted for more than two years) resulted in Gary being issued a ‘caution’ and being advised; ”In particular, that he does not provide specific advice or recommendations on the subject of nutrition and how it relates to the management of diabetes or the treatment and/or prevention of cancer.” Gary was later cleared of all charges and issued a formal apology from AHPRA.
