Having suffered multiple concussions (traumatic brain injuries) and PTSD over a 20 year period, as well as living with Ehlers Danlos syndrome, Heather Foley discovered the ketogenic diet in 2010.

Dr Steve James

 Dr Steve James became internationally known during the COVID pandemic for his advocacy of personal choice regarding vaccination. His unwillingness to compromise with mandates meant that he was at the forefront of legal challenges to the government and seen as a key figure in protecting the jobs of tens of thousands of NHS staff who were going to be fired. 

He also saw that nearly all the patients in intensive care with COVID had poor metabolic health, and like those that used to be on his operating table in cardiac theatres, could have avoided admission.

As an NHS Consultant with 25 years of experience he has specialised in a range of areas including critical care, high-risk and cardiac anaesthesia, exercise testing, fatigue and breathlessness. He has additional training in psychotherapy, exercise physiology, nutrition, breathwork, meditation and sleep medicine, which give him a unique mix of skills with which to deliver care.

Dr James now runs programs for people who want to improve their health using a 360 degree and proactive approach to health. His focus is on creating optimal metabolic health as the key step to preventing chronic disease.

“Most people don’t know they have the option to feel and look significantly better as well as gain 10 or 20 more years of high-quality life. This will allow them to avoid the typical decline and maintain their independence. It’s time we let them know how.” – Dr Steve James

Dr Steve’s Top Tips

1. Do some personal work – your mindset determines so much in health.
2. Take responsibility for yourself.
3. Bear in mind our biological history – our ancestral history.
4. If it comes in a packet, if there’s an advert for it, it’s probably not good for you.

Laura Rupsis

 As a working mother of 4 children, Laura understands the demands of today’s busy lifestyle and the detrimental impact that the dietary and lifestyle choices so many of us make in the interest of convenience can have. After spending over 20 years in the financial industry and about 5 years of hard work and planning, Laura was able to leave that world behind to pursue her passion for ancestral health and fitness. 

Laura earned her first nutrition/health coach certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2012 after suffering severe health issues that were only alleviated through diet and lifestyle changes, rather than conventional medical interventions. She then aligned herself with the Primal Health Coach Institute in 2013 to coach others through long term lifestyle change using the ancestral health model that has helped her maintain her health and optimal weight effortlessly. 

Laura also became a CrossFit affiliate owner and trainer in 2013 and has been using Primal Health Coaching since the gym opened as a way to add more value, differentiate her box from all the others and to add additional sources of revenue. She is committed to coaching others into a healthy, real food, holistic lifestyle that best suits the unique metabolic and lifestyle needs of each individual.

Laura joined the Primal Health Coach Institute as a team member in 2016 as The Director of Admissions. She is also a faculty member and coach supporting, guiding and educating new Primal Health Coaches.

In 2020 Laura and her family moved to Florida where she continues to coach and is rebuilding her private practice while also supporting others who want to build a career out of their passion for health and fitness with the Primal Health Coach Institute. 

Laura’s Certifications Include: CF Level 1, MovNat Level 1, Certified Primal Health Coach, IIN Certified Holistic Health Coach, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and NASM Women’s Fitness Specialist.

 

Laura’s Top Tips

1. Be very clear as to what you want but also why you want it – dig deep.
2. Satiety first – build a meal that keeps you full for as long as possible.
3. Exercise – ideally prioritise strength training but more important is something you will do consistently.

Quotes by Laura Rupsis

“There are a lot of symptoms that people take as every day these are normal. They might seem common but that’s not normal.”

“I kept asking my doctors “Why does this keep happening?” – Nobody could answer why it was happening.”

“At this point, I was willing to resort to human sacrifice.”

“That’s the biggest scam going is this whole – kids have to eat something different.”

“Women were told that eating meat was bad for you.”

“Let’s eat for nutrients, let’s learn how to eat rather than diet, let’s learn how to train to be fit for the life you want to live.”

“More broccoli and plant based protein shakes is not going to do it.”

Julia Tulipan

 Mag. Julia Tulipan is a biologist and nutritional scientist, blogger, author, speaker, entrepreneur and science nerd. 

During her late 20s she experienced severe health issues like back pain, depression, weight gain and sleep problems, despite doing everything by the book. When Julia turned 30, she had reached a new low. That was the turning point in her health journey. This time she decided to dig deeper into the original science. This led her to question the general dietary guidelines and, on the path, to reclaim her health. 

During the last eight years Julia fought her way back and says about herself, that she is now the healthiest she has ever been. As a coach, she now helps others on their path to health and wellbeing. She supports high performing individuals in reaching their potential. She built one of the most popular German blogs about the low-carb and keto lifestyle.

Together with her dear colleague Daniela Pfeifer and LCHF-Germany, they created the first certified KetoCoach training program. 

Besides her entrepreneurial endeavours, she is a scientist by heart.

Nina’s Top Tips

1. If you are looking at a study and it says “linked to” or “maybe connected to” that is a headline or study to just turn the page and move on.
2. There is a lot of discussion from doctors about higher protein, in a low carb diet with combined with high intensity interval training (HIIT) and/or weight lifting.
3. Wearing a constant glucose monitor (CGM) is one of the most illuminating ways to understand how your body responds to carbohydrates.

Quotes by Nina Teicholz

“I found myself inexplicably losing weight.”

“How we could have lived so long with this giant mass of misinformation.”

“How did they become so settled, how can it be that they are wrong or mostly wrong because there are so many checks in place in science. How is it that nobody stood up and stopped this massive flood of misinformation along the way.”

“I had to be convinced by the evidence first and that took me a while.”

“It is not easy to be a questioner, somebody who is challenging the quite conventional wisdom all around them, all the time. That is not a comfortable place to be.”

“How is it possible that I could be right and all these experts be wrong?”

“The guidelines are their vehicle for ensuring their products are sold and consumed and they truly own this space.”

“So many people are sick and suffering. They are not getting good advice. Then they are being blamed for failing at the bad advice.”

“It is the role of science to have respectful disagreement.”

“In the US, $800 billion in feeding programs all depend on the guidelines.”

“I don’t seen any nutrition journalist who is doing what journalists in every other area of enquiry do which is to follow the money.”

Dr Jen Unwin and Heidi Giaever

 Dr Jen Unwin

Dr Jen Unwin is a chartered clinical and health psychologist. She worked for over 30 years in the NHS and now spends her time researching, campaigning and writing about sugar addiction. She is a founding member of the Public Health Collaboration, a UK charity campaigning for better public health advice. Her and her husband Dr David Unwin, a GP have been helping the patients in his practice adopt low carb diets to reverse their diabetes. This work has resulted in several published papers and numerous conference and media appearances. She has recently published a book called ‘Fork in the Road’ which is a guide for people with sugar/carb addiction. All profits are for the PHC. 

 

 Heidi Giaever

Heidi comes from Norway and spent part of my childhood in East Africa. With her original degree (Salford University, UK) in Chemical Engineering she spent most of her career in international business development. She retrained in Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine following a personal health scare in her early 40s. She underwent extensive tests for early onset dementia, following a prolonged period of increasing memory and concentration problems with a direct impact on her work capacity and performance resulting in plummeting self-confidence.

Years later, she met Dr Jen Unwin and Food Addiction Specialist Bitten Jonsson. She and Jen trained with Bitten. She then understood that her problem was food addiction. It wasn’t from poor nutrition as a child, but from an unchecked desire and exposure to sugar. She learnt to bake as a child, learnt to love the whipped sugar and butter bases for cakes and biscuits. This exposed her brain and body to ever increasing amounts of sugar without visible effects on her weight. Now she is a food addict in remission, focusing on “Life With and Beyond the Food”. 

She and her husband moved to the UK almost 9 years ago and she started voluntary work in the most deprived areas of Crawley, West Sussex. She worked with nutrition in community centres and preschools focusing on building awareness of the dangers of hidden sugars and the value of feeding children real foods. Since then, most of her work has been with mature adults, running diabetes reversal programmes for GP surgeries in Sussex and with private clients wanting help with weight, metabolic challenges and Food Addiction. 

Heidi now works closely with Jen on initiatives to bring formal recognition of this disorder and to contribute to the lack of clinical evidence of recovery and support programmes that can help sufferers. One such initiative is their Food Addiction Recovery Clinical Study, FARCS, where, together with Dr Jen Unwin and other colleagues in Sweden and North America, they offer group-consultation based programmes and they hope to achieve statistical significance so that that they can contribute valuable data to the current lack of clinical evidence in this field.

Another main focus for her nutrition and lifestyle work has resulted in the Collaboration for Kids (CFK) project, which she leads under the umbrella of the Public Health Collaboration.

Dr Jen’s Top Tips

1. If you are a food addict the treatment is abstinence. You have work out which are your drug foods and exclude them.
2. Not just what you eat but how you eat, what are the addictive behaviours?
3. Eat foods that nourish your body and brain without being restrictive.

Heidi’s Top Tips

1. Analyse – take the time to look and analyse what is going on with you.
2. Beyond the food – you need to fill your life with living not just food.
3. Act – get active in this field.
