Steven H | The Root Cause Protocol helped with my Type 2 Diabetes

How long have you been following the Protocol?
2 months

What health issues/symptoms led you to the protocol?

Type 2 Diabetes

What changes have you seen in your health from starting/following the protocol?

I started Keto two and a half years ago following a Heart attack and learning that i was a Type 2 Diabetic. Had 2 stents inserted for heart blockages. Whilst in hospital post surgery I was immediately placed on a beta blocker & a statin. Also visited by a Diabetes nutritionalist advising how to control my Diabetes with the Diabetes Australia diet guidlines along with Metformin being prescribed twice a day. Being a fact based former business consultant i politely accepted the advice/ standard of care and went home and researched for myself what the facts were. I immediately threw the beta blocker & statin in the bin and employed Keto which i had done before so very familiar. Over the course of 3 months lost 40kg and also had thrown the Metformin in the bin. All these interventions were great but of course quite difficult to maintain. My HbA1C was constantly between 4.7 & 4.9 and blood markers within accepted parameters.
I stumbled across one of Morley’s interviews with Gut Guru’s on You Tube and learnt Morley’s RCP and his hypothesis that blood sugar control was largely a dysregulated metabolism via vitamins & minerals and that his view was that hormones don’t run the body. Well Insulin is a master hormone and always in the Diabetes dialogue. I learnt that Copper, Retinol & Magnesium were to be concentrated on along with Iron build up. I immediately signed up online and got the RCP handbook and implemented the stops & starts. Boom, within two weeks my daily sugars stabilised and after watching tens of similar You Tube interviews with Morley I finally saw & understood how we all have been misled & misfed. The other intervention i implemented after leaving hospital was to begin home brewed Kefir and thankfully chose raw Goats milk to use. Game changer. I also make Sugar Shift yoghurt and have been using extensively as well.

What is the most significant change you have experienced from the protocol?

Diabetes type 2 control. More energy

What would you say to someone who is considering RCP but unsure about starting the RCP?

A must do for all especially Type 2 Diabetics. I must say that of all the video’s i’ve watched he only mentioned glucose control once. That was the light bulb moment for me and really should be talked about a lot more as it seems that the targeted audience is for other things besides Diabetes.

Any additional notes/comments?
None
