DR. JEN UNWIN

  • Dr. Unwin’s husband, Dr. David Unwin, has been on the show before.
  • Check out his appearance on the show!
    • He’s also a doctor.
  • She is a clinical psychologist who focuses on the relationship between food and our brains.
  • Now, she helps her patients change their life by controlling their relationships to carbohydrates.
  • Her fabulous book is available here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08XX4ZH3F/ref=cm_sw_r_em_api_fabc_N0TGXF3VYC041NQEXKHB

CARBOHYDRATE ADDICTION

  • Dr. Unwin has always felt a crazy draw to food.
  • She eventually began to see her food through an addiction lens.
  • When Jen found low carb, she got the science, and on day 8 she started to feel much better.
  • Only then did she understand — one bite is too many and one thousand is never enough.
  • She knew she had to abstain completely and treat it like any other addiction.
    • So for her, there is no life into living.
      • You should evaluate your relationship to carbs before you decide whether you want to put LIL or not.
  • For some people, this isn’t a problem, but for others, it absolutely changes your quality of life when you take control of the addiction.
  • As addicts, we might know carbs are bad for us, but we feel like we can’t help it.
  • This is why going all in from the beginning can be very important.
  • Food manufacturers know people have these addictions, and they play into it.
  • If you’re eating ‘keto’ things, it might still be feeding the addiction.
    • For Dr. Jen Unwin, peanut butter was something for her that continued to feed the addiction.
      • She had to cut it out completely.
