Revolutionising Health With Real Food

This is the second Scottish Annual Conference of the Public Health Collaboration Charity. This year we are aiming to revolutionise health in Scotland! A big aim for a small charity but we believe we are on the right path to lead our population to better metabolic health. At our conference we will be talking about heart disease, diabetes and dementia as well as longevity and we have some amazing speakers lined up for you. You will learn how you can use real food and lifestyle changes to prevent and reverse chronic disease and optimise health. We bring you the up to date science along with practical things you can do to make a difference. Whether you are a professional or a member of the public we want to epower you, inspire you and educate you so that you can change your life or those of the people you support.

Sam Feltham has been in the health and fitness industry for over a decade. He started out as a party coordinator at a sports centre and worked his way up to study at the European Institute of Fitness and qualified as a Master Personal Trainer. After 5 years of running a fitness boot camp business and a successful podcast called Smash The Fat, Sam decided to move away from that business in order to fully focus on improving public health by setting up and directing the Public Health Collaboration.

Dr David Unwin works at the Norwood NHS Surgery in Southport near Liverpool, UK where he has helped care for a practice of 9700 people since 1986 as a family doctor. To date 141 of his patients with T2 diabetes have achieved drug-free remission. This gives a remission rate of 50% at 30 months duration of those choosing a lower carb diet. This equates to a remission rate of over 20% of the diabetic population of the entire practice. One of the best results for any clinic in the world. For the past few years, he has been a UK Royal College of General Practitioners expert clinical advisor on diabetes. David was also elected to fellowship of the college for his work in the training of trainee general practitioners.

As a result of his interests in both better communication with patients and Type 2 diabetes he was made Royal College of General Practice National Champion for Collaborative Care and Support Planning in Obesity & Diabetes in 2015. In 2016 he was the proud UK National winner of the NHS Innovator Of The Year Award for published research into lifestyle changes; working with patients’ personal health goals as an alternative to drug therapy in type 2 diabetes –so that his GP practice spends £68,000 per year less than expected on drugs for diabetes. As part of this he has also published research into improving blood pressure, lipid profiles, renal function and liver function by reducing dietary carbohydrate, especially sugar. In 2019 he was shortlisted by NICE for a prize for his teaspoon of sugar infographics which have now been translated into seventeen languages (including Malaysian). In 2021 one of his papers published in BMJ Nutrition was voted as ‘paper of the year’ by the International Academy of nutrition educators. Dr Unwin’s work has been covered by both BBC, C4 & C5 television, The New Scientist, The Times, The Daily Mail and The British Medical Journal. As @lowcarbGP he has over 100,000 followers on Twitter.

Dr Kendrick is GP who lives and works in Cheshire, having graduated from Aberdeen University many moons ago. He has a fascination with heart disease and has written three books about it: The Great Cholesterol Con, A Statin Nation and The Clot Thickens. He has long been frustrated with the diet-heart hypothesis and is clear that cholesterol and saturated fat have nothing whatsoever to do with heart disease. So, he spent much of the last forty years trying to work out what actually does. He awaits the Nobel prize for this work, but so far has only succeeded in being kicked off Wikipedia for being a conspiracy theorist. His son describes him as a legend in his own lunchtime. But at least it is a lunchtime brimming with butter, salt and… more butter. He plans not to die of heart disease any time soon, so no-one gets to say ‘I told you so.’
