    I'm an RN, currently at a conference for primary health care nurses. I am also a carnivore. One of the speakers this morning was a doctor who was saying that LDL is the bad cholestrol and listing all the statins that will lower it and prevent heart disease and that ALL diabetics should be on statins. When his patients express concern about the possible side effects of statins, he tells them (his words!) "Must choose, take the statins or die". I choose to listen to the amazing doctors in this community who are challenging the standard teachings and medical practices (or malpractices!) and revealing the truth! Thank you, Nina!❤

    Nina is the woman who I found on YouTube 3 years ago. She did her homework, told the truth and was attacked by government and big food corporations. Since I found Nina at age 59 I lost 52 pounds and got off 7 daily medications, 4 of which were expensive prescriptions. I now find myself 62 and in great health and best of all, the knowledge of what to and not to be in my diet. If you read this Nina, thank you for saving my life.
  • @anneh8249
    Nina's book "The Big Fat Surprise" was life changing for me. I heard about it from several doctors that say it changed the way they think and practice. She's an exceptional writer and researcher, I really appreciate her thoroughness and passion for getting to the bottom of things. Congrats on getting a PhD!
  • @clindsay8362
    Congratulations to Nina on a well deserved PhD!

    Nina needs a Nobel prize for services to humanity ❤

    Nina's Teicholz book was revelation to me and it changed my life!
  • @janeknight3597
    Congratulations Nina. Quality of evidence is so important when “medicating” entire populations.
  • @Appleblade
    Freeman Dyson really disliked the PhD system (he didn't have one)... he preferred people gain rep from actually producing valuable contributions to scientific investigation. That's what Nina did, and she deserves recognition for that.
  • @lcb1250
    Nice to see that she got a PhD, even if it's on published works. She did the work required and then some, might as well get something out of it! Congrats to her!

    I am almost finished reading her book and it has validated so much of what I have already learned and experienced in my past 9 months as a carnivore dieter. I will be subscribing to her substack. Thank you for this superb interview.
