How Doctors Treat Type 1 Diabetes Is Frustrating | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Ryan Attar

Dr. Ryan Attar is a Naturopathic Physician & Nutritionist currently practicing in Fairfield, Connecticut. Dr. Attar has also been living with T1 diabetes since 2007. He was diagnosed while serving in the US Army, where he advanced to the rank of Captain.  After his diagnosis he was medically retired from the Army, and became frustrated with the way diabetes is managed by nearly all doctors. He began to educate himself on health, nutrition and diabetes, and saw his blood sugars normalize to non-diabetic levels.  He is an advocate for the low carbohydrate management of diabetes, and follows the method of Dr. Richard Bernstein, who he had the opportunity to shadow with as a student. Dr. Attar's frustration with the standard management of diabetes inspired him to change careers and go back to school first for a master's in human nutrition, followed by a doctorate in naturopathic medicine.  Dr. Attar has been exploring the carnivore diet for the past 3 years, and feels his health has never been better. Most notably, thyroid antibodies and TSH both lowered since following a carnivore diet. He recommends this way of eating to many of his patients.  Dr. Attars other interests including jiujitsu (currently a blue belt), CrossFit, and traveling (having been to 75 countries).  Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 05:11 Type 1 diabetes diagnosis 11:48 Cutting carbs 15:46 Managing type 1 diabetes 19:25 Different types of insulin 23:55 Exercise and blood glucose 26:16 Dosing insulin 30:51 LDL and diabetes 36:01 Endocrinologists and normalization of blood sugar 40:49 Hypoglycemia 44:23 Getting patients on the carnivore diet 48:38 Cheating on the carnivore diet 53:50 Type 1 diabetics on carnivore diet Website: www.DrAttar.com TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@drryanattar YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/DrRyanAttar Twitter: twitter.com/ryanattar Facebook: www.facebook.com/AttarND Instagram: www.instagram.com/drryanattar/ See open positions at Revero: https://jobs.lever.co/Revero/ Join Carnivore Diet for a free 30 day trial: https://carnivore.diet/join/ Book a Carnivore Coach: https://carnivore.diet/book-a-coach/ Carnivore Shirts: https://merch.carnivore.diet Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://carnivore.diet/subscribe/ . ‪#revero #shawnbaker #Carnivorediet #MeatHeals #HealthCreation   #humanfood #AnimalBased #ZeroCarb #DietCoach  #FatAdapted #Carnivore #sugarfree  ‪
