    Dr. Paul Mason - ''Hard science on the real cause of heart disease - why you should avoid seed oils'

    This is the third and final lecture of a 3 part series delivered by Dr Mason at the Low Carb Down Under Gold Coast conference in October 2022. The prevailing theory of atherosclerotic heart disease is demolished and Dr Mason carefully constructs a case, using peer reviewed science, that blood clots are in fact, the main source of atherosclerosis. The nexus between the triglyceride to HDL ratio and heart disease is examined with particular reference to the root causes of cardiovascular mortality. As a bonus, Dr Mason lifts the lid on just what exactly makes seed oils so problematic.....and it comes down to much more than oxidation stress. The major issue in fact, is that seed oils contain phytosterols, or fake plant cholesterol, which interferes with the normal essential functions of cholesterol within the body. Dr Paul Mason obtained his medical degree with honours from the University of Sydney. He is also a fellow of the Australasian College of Sports and Exercise Physicians, holds a Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy and a Masters degree in Occupational Health. He is currently Chief Medical Officer of the Defeat Diabetes program, an evidence-based program focussed on lifestyle management of metabolic illnesses, including type 2 diabetes. If you would like more information on how the triglyceride to HDL ratio can be used to predict possible benefit from statin therapy, check out this article co-authored by Dr Mason, Prof Bikman and Prof Diamond. You might also consider sharing it with your doctor. https://journals.lww.com/co-endocrinology/fulltext/2022/10000/statin_therapy_is_not_warranted_for_a_person_with.14.aspx Dr Malcom Kendrick has authored an excellent book on the clotting theory of atherosclerosis, and it provided some of the material referenced within this lecture. Dr Mason highly recommends it. https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/books-by-dr-malcolm-kendrick/the-clot-thickens/ Please consider supporting Low Carb Down Under via Patreon.

    Dr. Lucy Burns - 'How to Stick to Low Carb'

    Dr. Lucy Burns is a GP in based in Frankston just south of Melbourne, Australia. She graduated from Monash Medical school in 1993 and received her fellowship with the RACGP in 1998. She also has a diploma of obstetrics, a certificate in clinical hypnosis and has board certification as a lifestyle physician with ASLM. Lucy worked in general practice whilst having her children until 2005, and then worked for the Department of Defence at HMAS Cerberus as a civilian medical officer for 13 years. During that time she noticed a large increase in obesity in the current serving members and the new recruits. Dr. Burns has muscular dystrophy which impairs her mobility. In her 20’s she managed her weight with exercise. Alas, this is no longer possible and she found that as she got older following the standard low fat style of dieting was unsustainable and unsuccessful. She became overweight/obese and was insulin resistant. Another doctor friend introduced her to keto and she was hooked. A year later she opened her low carb general practice clinic called 'Epiphany Medical Weight Loss'. Along with her colleague Dr. Mary Barson, the pair have also formed a business called 'Real Life Medicine' and have an on-line program that addresses both the physiological and psychological causes of obesity. Her strong belief is to empower people to manage their health through nutrition and the low carb way of living. Please consider supporting Low Carb Down Under via Patreon.
