Join us as we navigate the sporting culture of Melbourne in our chat with Dr. Peter Brukner. Speaking of shifting gears (pun intended), as a renowned figure in sports medicine, Dr. Brukner imparts his wisdom on a subject that's often overlooked in the medical field - nutrition. He unveils his transformative journey towards a healthier lifestyle through a low-carb, healthy-fat diet. We expose some unsettling truths about the profit-driven food industry and its influence on societal health. But it's not all doom and gloom. We discuss some constructive changes, like the need for doctors to be better informed about nutrition and encouraging people, particularly those with insulin resistance or diabetes, to avoid carbohydrates.In the final stretch, we challenge your beliefs and expectations about dietary guidelines. With the help of Dr. Brkner, we untangle some misconceptions about low-carb diets and highlight the importance of finding balance in our food choices. And if you're a marathon runner, you might want to pay close attention to our discussion on the importance of sodium replenishment. We finish strong with a promising picture of the future - exploring the latest research and the potential for actually reversing Type 2 Diabetes.

This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Dr Peter Brukner, one of the OGs in the low carbohydrate space. They discuss how he was influenced by Professor Tim Noakes to do something about his own health when we realised he was no longer the fit, metabolically healthy man he was, and was challenged to do something about it. His own success with improving his metabolic markers then got him interested in the wider application of the approach for fat loss, improving blood sugar control and reversing symptoms of Type 2 diabetes led Dr Brukner to broaden his practice to one that educated and informed on the power of low carbohydrate diets for chronic disease. This has lead to him authoring a book (Fat Lot of Good) and setting up a not for profit organisation (Sugar by Half) and a new diabetes reversal programme, Defeat Diabetes. Peter Brukner is a specialist sports and exercise physician whose most recent position has been Australian cricket team doctor for the past five years.Peter is the founding partner of Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre in Melbourne and Professor of Sports Medicine at Latrobe University. A founding Executive Member of the Australasian College of Sports Physicians, he served two terms as President and played a key role in establishing sports medicine as a medical specialty in Australia.Peter is the co-author of the widely used text book Clinical Sports Medicine and has been team physician for professional football clubs as well as national athletics, swimming, soccer and men's hockey teams including Olympic and Commonwealth Games.

Despite being borderline obese with a BMI of 30, blood tests showing he had a fatty liver, he still considered himself to be in good health, doing the right thing with eating low fat foods and exercising.It was through his long standing academic friendship with Prof Tim Noakes, that he read Gary Taube's ‘Good Calories Bad Calories' that challenged the idea of the low fat diet. Embarking on his own journey, reading and self experimentation, Dr Brukner was able to see first hand the impact of eating real food. He lost weight, more energy, mentally sharper as went from eating three meals and three snacks to two meals and a small snack of a handful of nuts. Blood tests showed that his fatty liver had resolved and was completely normal. Frustrated by the mixed messages in the public space, he wanted a platform to campaign for dietary change.

It’s athlete specific. It’s sports specific.”   “If you can combine a good story that resonates with the athlete or patient with the statistics and research that’s out there, you can usually paint a powerful message.”   “We shouldn’t be doing protocols.”   “Every ACL reconstruction patient shouldn’t be painted with the same brush.”   “An injury prevention program is really important.”   “Time is a poor indicator for future success.”   “The whole rehab process needs to be criteria driven.”   For more information on Randall: Randall is an experienced Sports Physiotherapist, Founder and CEO of Premax, Adjunct Lecturer at the La Trobe University Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre, and Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists.

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Randall Cooper joins me to discuss the elements of bringing a product successfully to the marketplace. Randall is an experienced Sports Physiotherapist, Founder and Managing Director of Premax, Adjunct Lecturer at the La Trobe University Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre, Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists, and designer of the Cooper Knee Alignment Sleeve by Thermoskin. In this episode, we discuss: -How to asses if your product idea fulfills a niche area in the market -Why you should protect your intellectual property -How to find a distributor that’s right for your product -Unique obstacles healthcare practitioners face when launching a new product -And so much more!   Once an idea is reasonably developed, Randall encourages entrepreneurs to solicit feedback on their product. He stresses, “Most of the time, that feedback you get from other people is extremely refreshing and helps solidify whether your idea is good or not.”   One of the biggest challenges physical therapists face is that they can rely on their stable career paths and potentially not take advantage of more risky but fruitful opportunities. Randall believes that, “The entrepreneurs who have nothing to fall back on, they grit down and they get through those tough times and they get to that next level because they have to.”   Before pursuing a venture, it is important to understand your underlying inspiration. From Randall’s experience, “The primary motivation has to be that you're changing things for the better and not that you want to be a millionaire and retire to the Bahamas.”   For more information on Randall: Randall is an experienced Sports Physiotherapist, Founder and Managing Director of Premax, Adjunct Lecturer at the La Trobe University Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre, Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists, and designer of the Cooper Knee Alignment Sleeve by Thermoskin.
