The clock is ticking for those that want to embrace results in clinic and become a real clinician.
Fancy seeing a behind the scenes video of everything you’ll get?
Try this:


For many years I did not eat a single piece of food containing complex carbohydrate/starch/polysaccharides.
Not a single sodding mouthful.
Meat & salad.
Repeat.
I ate fruit as it’s a single sugar unit like fructose and some glucose, depending on the fruit, but starchy food was a big no no.
For me, this was painful.
I loved crisps and pizza and chips……who doesn’t on occasion?
But I’d learned my recurrent SI pain, plus assorted aches and pain all over my body, were in fact, my immune system gone rogue.
Ironically, despite being trained to recognise the symptoms of AS, I couldn’t spot in myself. (To be fair neither did the numerous tutors at the AECC or the multitude of colleagues who treated me.)
Back in 2007 I’d learned that an overgrowth of the bacteria Klebsiella, could lead (via molecular mimicry) to the condition we call Ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Prof Ebringer started this back in 1970’s.

Kept telling the world.

Published his incredible results of remission with diet and no drugs.

And in response, he had his funding removed, and he had to shut down in London AS clinic.
Anyhoo…..they generally hang out in the colon, and feed on the residue/breakdown of starches/complex carbohydrate, which are simple sugars.
Simple sugars eaten are generally absorbed in the small intestine so shouldn’t make it to the colon and so can’t feed Klebsiella, in the colon.
So, having seen the devastating effects of AS on my brother and many patients, I declared war on starch.
These days, though, I am able to indulge with in a gluten free pizza.
But having fought (and won) a long battle, it’s now time to loosen my lifestyle, just a touch.
I am also now in possession of the kind of fabulous news that will make you ketogenic, high fat low carb peeps, weep with joy.
You see, there is a “hack” that will make white carbs OK again.
No longer will you be subjected to wild blood sugar swings when you eat rice with your curry.
You can enjoy white potato without worrying it will give muffin tops.
Relax! It turns out they won’t necessarily give you a massive case of dysbiosis in your gut.
Here it is…….
When you boil white rice and white potato and let it cool down, the starch present becomes resistant to your own digestive processes.
They get chewed up but then no more breakdown.
They arrive in the colon, and it’s time for the party to begin.
You see your bacteria (all 100 trillion of them) CAN break this new “resistant starch” down.
In fact they bloody love it.
They eat and eat and make a wonderful thing called butyrate.
Butyrate is a critical short chain fatty acid that is the primary fuel for the gut lining cells. It’s also an excellent anti-inflammatory for the gut and has some systemic effects too.
If you want to heal your gut, you need butyrate.



Butyrate delivers the effects you often want from probiotics but often do not get.
Butyrate is technically a POSTBIOTIC.
This explains why, after I started eating some starch again, I could eat and eat sushi with no adverse blood sugar effects.
But give me rice with curry and I’d be in a carb coma in 45 minutes.
So love your gut bacteria and break out the cold potato salad and chill that rice before you eat it.
You can even heat it up again and it’s still all good.
But the incredible news is you can cut out the probiotic middle man and give butyrate directly as a supplement.
We have signed a deal to distribute a pure liquid butyrate in the UK and Ireland – this stuff is gold for the gut.
We call it GUT HERO – BUTYRATE.
