@kerrymacca @hormonedietdoc It sure will, but it’s not a sustainable solution, and it doesn’t help with the cause of weight gain in the first place, which is in most cases, metabolic disorder. It really is all about hormones.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

@Quinn6d2 Cool. All I need is a plane.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

It’s surprising how fast things turn around when you commit to making changes. When I switched to low-carb, it took 6 weeks to get off diabetic drugs, 9 months for a normal A1c, blood pressure dropped within a few months. But the most surprising change was, ED disappeared within the first year. It ain’t you. #It’s your diet.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

I AM LIVING PROOF. Throughout my 300 pound weight loss journey, I took the drugs, lost some weight, ate less, but over 30 years, I just got sicker. People would often comment how I must feel better after losing so much weight, but I didn’t. It was weird because I was led to believe that I was sick because I was fat. When I learned that I was really fat. Cause I was sick everything changed. When I got off the carb train, every aspect of my health improved.

Curious...
How many clinicians routinely measure fasting insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes?
I'd genuinely like to know.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

It takes a week or two, but the key is to just bare down and push through it. Once you get past it and conquer carbs, they’re way easier. What I recommend in the beginning lots of fat to start, eat until you’re full and don’t go into it full tilt until you have a few meals etc that you can prepare. It’s in my little book. The link in my profile.

@randymilanovic Peace On You, Also.

@randymilanovic Just a blue Cookie Monster

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

@bhairya @DoctorTro I flat out demand a fasted insulin from anyone wanting lipids or A1c. It is non-negotiable.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

@hormonedietdoc I’m not trying to save people. I’m trying to educate people so they can advocate for themselves. Every informed conversation between a patient and their healthcare provider is an opportunity to improve the system. One patient. One doctor. One conversation at a time.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

I had a woman contact me after reading my book. She stopped eating bread, rice, potatoes and grain. Her A1c went from 6.4 to 5.6 in 3 months. Her doctor read her the riot act and told her she was going to ruin her liver. She was terrified. Dr’s seem to still. Believe that t2d is a progressive disease that just gets worse over time and drugs are the only way to control it.

@LiveAncestral In many many cases, its the inflammation that's caused by hyperinsulinemia.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

In my 300 lb weight loss journey, I learned two things.

1. You can’t stay laser-focused on weight loss forever. Sometimes I just rode the wave, maintained my habits, and waited until I was mentally ready to push again.
2. Don’t backslide. If I wasn’t losing, my goal became not gaining. That’s much easier when you’ve built a sustainable lifestyle, like keto.

For me, the real danger wasn’t slowing down. It was letting carbs creep back in. That’s where I got into trouble.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

Yeah, me too. I actually lost 250 lbs over the years years by slowly cutting back on quantity and gradually reducing carbs. Like so many others I thought I was sick because I was fat, turns out, I was actually fat because I was sick. After I. ALMOST lost my foot I’m 2022, I went full-keto. Once I focused on improving my health, the last 50 pounds came off and the T2D went away.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

@Lorettamomma60 @ElieJarrougeMD That was 35 years ago. Nobody knew anything about low-carb back then. Different story now, though. I help lots of people transition to a low carb lifestyle.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

@BenBikmanPhD I went keto in the spring of 2023. Ketosis helps immensely, but it’s only been the last few months that those full signals to stop eating have really kicked in hard. Now, when I’m full, eating stops. It only took me 64 years to learn what most people learn when they’re 6.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

Sometimes the hardest part of changing your life isn’t changing your habits.

It’s changing your interpretation of what’s happening.

When I stopped trying to lose weight and focused on improving my health, everything changed.

I wasn’t sick because I was overweight. I was overweight because I was sick.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

Funny story. In 2022, I ALMOST lost my foot to 35+ years of T2D, went low carb, off all the diabetic drugs in 6 weeks, normal a1c until Aug 2025, had a MI & CABG (decades of hyperinsulinemia) started 40mg rosuvastatin, got diabetes, AGAIN. So I said to my cardiologist, thanks for saving my life, but really, all you’ve done is raised my trygs, lowered my HDL and gave me diabetes, the number one cause of CVD. She’s not a believer. I fixed it all by the way.

[Wade Buehler @wade_buehler]

@markkaplan20 Actually, they led me to believe that I was sick because use I was fat. The reality was that I was fat because I was sick. That’s the reality for millions.
