Since then, he's helped over 115 patients in Taupō put type 2 diabetes into remission—an achievement that's not only reshaped his practice, but challenged the conventional approach to chronic disease management. He was named General Practitioner of the Year in 2021.In this conversation, we explore what "remission" really means in clinical terms, the systems that help sustain it, and the biomarkers that shift most consistently. Glen also shares insights on the psychology of behaviour change, the risks and rewards of keto, and the real-world barriers to scaling this model across New Zealand. They also have a frank conversation of the level of knowledge that GPs have to prevent and treat the modern day health crisis that NZ (like most countries) is facing.Glen Davies: https://reversalnz.co.nz/team/dr-glen-davies/ Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

Glaciares despiertan volcanes: El cambio climático podría provocar erupciones volcánicas más frecuentes y explosivas, advierten científicos desde Chile y la Antártida. Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo Estudios en los Andes revelan que el derretimiento de glaciares libera presión sobre cámaras de magma, aumentando la actividad volcánica. La Antártida y otras regiones están en riesgo.  El calentamiento global no solo derrite glaciares: podría estar preparando el escenario para una nueva era de erupciones volcánicas. Investigadores de la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison, liderados por Pablo Moreno-Yaeger, han demostrado en los Andes chilenos que cuando el hielo desaparece, la Tierra tiembla. Bajo la presión de kilómetros de hielo, los volcanes permanecen dormidos, pero al desaparecer esa capa, los gases atrapados en el magma escapan con violencia. El fenómeno podría repetirse en lugares como la Antártida, donde más de cien volcanes están ocultos bajo el hielo. ¿Estamos ante un ciclo de retroalimentación entre hielo, fuego y clima?  El hielo que antes contenía al magma ya no está ahí.  En lo alto de los Andes del sur de Chile, los volcanes dormidos cuentan historias escritas en lava y cenizas. Allí, el equipo de Moreno-Yaeger acampó durante semanas estudiando seis volcanes, entre ellos Mocho-Choshuenco, que significa “el cabeza cortada” en mapuche. Durante la última edad de hielo, esta zona estuvo cubierta por una capa de hielo de más de 1.500 metros de grosor. Con ayuda de datación por isótopos y análisis de cristales volcánicos, los científicos lograron reconstruir cómo la presión glaciar frenó las erupciones entre hace 26.000 y 18.000 años. Pero todo cambió cuando el hielo comenzó a desaparecer.  El estudio muestra que al reducirse la presión, los gases contenidos en el magma se expanden y aumentan la explosividad. Es como abrir una botella agitada de gaseosa. Las rocas analizadas mostraron que el magma, al quedarse atrapado, tuvo tiempo para mezclarse con la corteza terrestre, volviéndose más viscoso. Eso también aumenta la violencia de la erupción. En términos geológicos, este proceso es casi inmediato, pero en escalas humanas toma siglos. Y esos siglos están corriendo ahora mismo en zonas como la Antártida.  El estudio, presentado en la conferencia Goldschmidt en Praga, es uno de los primeros en demostrar este fenómeno en sistemas volcánicos continentales. Hasta ahora se conocía sobre todo por Islandia, donde el deshielo ha estado vinculado a una actividad volcánica mayor. Pero los Andes no son una isla, son un continente en ebullición.

On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Onside co-founder and CEO Ryan Higgs about the launch of the agri-tech company's PCBU Enterprise, how the industry-first digital platform is designed to revolutionise shared safety management across agriculture supply chains in Australia and New Zealand and the success of the company so far... He talks with Aratiatia farm manager Carl Carmichael about applications being open for Pāmu's apprenticeship scheme, what the apprenticeship involves and the idea behind paying students while they're training in Taupō... And he catches up with Rural Health Advocate Craig 'Wiggy' Wiggins about Club Connect, the government's plans to relax anti-money laundering checks and recent changes at Federated Farmers.

Ministrijas ir nākušas klajā ar taupības pasākumiem nākamā gada budžetā, ir plānota gan darbinieku skaita samazināšana, gan iestāžu reorganizācija.

Talks about a major update to a 15 year old agreement between Taupō's council and the region's largest landowners have sparked controversy. The 2009 Joint Management Agreement between the district council and Ngāti Tūwharetoa is being workshopped, and a draft agreement has been presented to the public. Critics argue that no public mandate has been issued, and that ‘Treaty principles' are embedding ‘co-governance' directly into council operations. Mayor David Trewavas told Mike Hosking the agreement has absolutely nothing to do with co-governance, and is instead about protecting Lake Taupō. He says that when people actually look at and understand the deal, they'll understand it's about protecting the lake and ensuring it remains one of the cleanest in the world. “It's just all about the lake, nothing to do with co-governance at all.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TeamCPNZ Connect – Ep 40 – PAUL – CPNZ Media LiveWelcome to the TEAMCPNZ Quick Connect Podcast, where we keep you in the loop, inspired, and part of something bigger.We're catching up with long-time Team CPNZ legend, Paul Botha. Paul's been part of our community for over 8 years and last joined us on the podcast back in Episode 5 after completing the iconic Comrades Ultra Marathon in South Africa — the longest-running ultramarathon on the planet.Fast forward to today, and it's all about triathlon. Over the past three years, Paul has swapped his marathon-only legs for cycling power and even added a splash of swimming into the mix. After completing his first full-distance Ironman in Taupō 2023 — where I had the pleasure of lining up alongside him — Paul has just ticked off his 4th Ironman at Ironman Cairns a few weeks ago. Epic stuff!A quick Team CPNZ update:

How do you know that dream of yours is worth pursuing? And when do you take yourself seriously? When is a retreat worth it? Holly Bowen is an emerging author of young adult fantasy and contemporary women's fiction. By the Moon is Holly's debut novel. Holly lives in the lakeside town of Taupō, New Zealand, with her partner, two young sons, and a sad lack of a canine companion. When she's not drinking mochas and writing in a local café, she can be found swimming in the lake or hiding in her garden sauna, making up stories in her head.

The bad weather lashing the country is bearing down on the Taupō Tūrangi region and the Tauranga-Taupō River is in flood. Taupō District Mayor David Trewavas spoke to Corin Dann.

A worker at the Challenge Petrol station in Tauranga-Taupō says the river hasn't peaked yet but police and civil defence are both there. Jim Falla spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Emergency service staff are going door to door to people in the Oruatua/Te Rangiita area north of Tūrangi - asking residents to prepare to evacuate. Taupo Civil Defence Controller Hadley Tattle spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

It's a worrying time for residents from 70 homes - as the Tauranga-Taupō River is threatening to breach its bank. The swollen river has flooded after a night of heavy rain, thunderstorm warnings and strong winds across much of the country. Taupō District Council's Tūrangi-Tongariro ward Councillor Sandra Greenslade spoke to Corin Dann.

Designed for everyone from beginner to ultra-competitive, and everyone in between, Pillar to Pou is a new take on a running and walking event, debuting Saturday 7 June in Taupō.

A nearly 10-metre tall sculpture of a dinosaur sitting atop a large geometric rock is the latest attraction in Taupō. Mayor of Taupō David Trewavas spoke to Corin Dann.

Despite reports of critical levels of vacancies for senior doctor positions, Taupō hospital now has accreditation to train rural doctors. It will be the first North Island hospital to receive accreditation to deliver the training. Meanwhile senior doctors are still planning to strike on Thursday, despite a new offer from Health New Zealand. Health Minister Simeon Brown talks to Heather du Plessis-Allan. LISTEN ABOVE.

Checkpoint can reveal concern at the dire level of full-time permanent staff at Taupō Hospital. Fixed-term and locum senior doctors there are relied on to fill glaring gaps, a situation the senior doctors' union says is unsustainable. Figures obtained by Checkpoint show just 3.3 out of full-time equivalent senior doctor positions in the town are filled. Jimmy Ellingham reports.

Strap in because the latest episode of the RevLimiter is firing on all cylinders and 'confecting' all the stories from a big weekend of motorsport!We kicked things off under the Bahrain lights, where Oscar Piastri was cooler than a cucumber in the sand, delivering a textbook takedown of McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Some say it was domination, others say it was daylight robbery — either way, poor Lando looked like his spirit had been quietly escorted out of parc fermé. Meanwhile, Gorgeous George Russell was driving a wounded Mercedes but still managed to fend off Norris for P2. We're not saying George's defence was heroic... but somewhere, a Union Jack just fluttered with pride.Was it genuine pace, team strategy, or just a bit of well-timed confecting from the pit wall? We don't know, but it tasted sweet for Oscar either way.Back on home turf — well, close enough — it was a Kiwi cash grab in Taupō as Matt Payne cleaned up with two wins, the Jason Richards Trophy, and presumably a new savings account. Chaz Mostert kept it interesting by pinching one of the wins, but Payne was the local hero with the Midas touch.We also dive into Tony Quinn's bold call to rotate the New Zealand round between the country's four big tracks — because, as he puts it, NZ can only support one round a year, but why not let everyone have a turn?Plus, we round out the episode with the latest from overseas: NASCAR and IMSA winners get their dues, and Marc Márquez proves once again he's not just back — he's back on top in MotoGP.Catch all the banter, breakdowns and a few dodgy predictions on the RevLimiter. It's like a warm-up lap for your ears.

Taupō's hoping for a local economy rev up with the Supercars in town this weekend. It's the second year hosting the Taupō Super 440 – with 60-thousand people expected in town from around the country and Australia. Mayor David Trewavas told Andrew Dickens measurements done after last year's event showed a minimum of $20 million was pumped through the town. He's hoping to replicate that economic success.

The drought in the Central North Island is really starting to bite for farmers. Lake Taupō sheep farmer Ruby Mulinder spoke to Corin Dann.

The clock is ticking for drought-stricken farmers in the Central North Island who fear if they don't get rain soon, the grass won't grow before winter bites. Our reporter Alexa Cook hit the road to see how farmers are faring. She begins her road trip in Tihoi, near Taupō.

This week, we discuss the recent news that Imogen Simmonds tested positive for Ligandrol, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) known to enhance muscle mass and strength.  Simmonds has denied intentional use, attributing the positive test to intimate contact with her partner, who was unknowingly taking Ligandrol to improve his physique.  We explore the details of this case, its implications for her career, and the broader impact on the sport.
