Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/11/the-diabetes-solution-bethany-mckenzie-episode-1966 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TYPE 1 DIABETES DIAGNOSIS She and her family were featured in the first Fat Doc. Her son has Type 1 diabetes. The family discovered this when she came back from a trip, and her son's weight had dropped from 46 to 40 lbs. Immediately, she rushed him to the hospital and he was diagnosed. In that moment, they realized they would have to change the way they eat. The dietitian was prescribing them all kinds of sugary foods. She was told the kid needed 60g of carbs a meal, and she wanted to do anything she could to help him, so she did it. She feels her diet was healthier before this. For 3 years, Bethany followed these rules and her son felt truly terrible and unhealthy. Then, she discovered that high carb was not the way to go. MANAGING TYPE 1 DIABETES It took Bethany awhile to realize eating all of this sugar was not helping her son. He had headaches, his blood sugar was always high, and it was simply unhealthy. Bethany found low carb and it has, with careful control, worked wonders for her son and for her family. When her son was 8, her doctor was so incredulous and said her son wouldn't grow right and would have an eating disorder. It was clear he just didn't understand. Her son was eating veggies and good protein and the like. She could see what the food was doing to her son's blood sugar, and it was clear that this diet was helping keeping it under control. This has given their family so much life and joy. Her son is healthy, smart, a stellar athlete, and has a fantastic relationship with food and with his parents. THE DIABETES SOLUTION Doctors aren't curious as to what their type 1 patients are eating. They don't even ask. Bethany has been so frustrated by the medical community's treatment of type 1. She created her own documentary which will be released on November 9th. Pre-order on Amazon now!
