Bill, 65, ex-builder

Health challenges

• Past heart attack
• Multiple medications to control blood pressure
• Blood sugars always up and can’t lose weight
• Always tired-needs a sleep in the afternoon
• Irritable and anxious
• Enlarged prostate, erectile dysfunction
• Poor memory-worried about his brain function
• Can’t stop eating sugar
• Severe reflux

What I found

• Bill’s diet was too high in poor carbohydrates/low-fat food and to low in fats
• His detailed cholesterol test showed he needs to reduce carbohydrates
• Insulin, triglyceride and blood sugars all elevated
• Doesn’t want to go on a quick-fix ‘diet’ (he needs long-term advice)
• Low mineral and vitamin levels after tests
• Drinks four beers each night to reduce stress and help sleep
• Worked extensively with diesel, solvents and welding material

Treatment

• Initiated a higher fat and lower carbohydrate eating plan
• Introduced specific food and supplements to help with insulin resistance
• Improved nutrient levels to reduce inflammation
• Started slowly removing heavy metals
• Started a weights program to improve strength/muscle
• Made a list about how to reduce stress, reduce alcohol and improve sleep

Great results

• Energy levels are better
• Has lost 12kg
• Bill’s mood has improved
• No longer needs an afternoon sleep
• He has reduced his blood pressure and reflux medication
