Wendy Armstrong says:
I have been qualified as a nurse for 26 years. The last 16 of those years has been as a practice nurse in the same practice specialising in the management of Type 2 diabetes. I had always questioned why we treat a disease of insulin resistance with drugs that increase insulin secretion or with insulin itself.
In 2015 I read the 8 week blood sugar diet book and it all clicked.
I started eating low carb myself having gone gluten-free after seeing a naturopath in 2017 to help reverse post viral fatigue then gradually I have transitioned to keto then 16 months ago to a more carnivore way of eating.
Wendy’s Top Tips
- If you are carnivore, you have to eat the fats – particularly animal fats.
- Electrolytes are your friend and your saviour.
- Circadian rhythms and the sun are important – perhaps more important than diet – Get early morning, midday and late afternoon sun every day.

Quotes by Wendy Armstrong
“When I think about it now if I had gone keto or carnivore then and done lots of protein and lots of fat, I would have got better quicker.”
“I just said I am going to try it for a month.”
“When I don’t have enough fats, I don’t feel as good.”
“My sleep is loads better.”
“It’s hiding it from the blood test.”
“You are just rotting from the inside.”
“Everyone says I don’t have sugar in my tea.”
“The doctor who did my blood test will be saying are you not a bit worried Wendy? Your cholesterol is a bit high and your LDL is a bit high.”
