Dr Jen Unwin

🎙️ What If the Food You Crave Is the Very Thing Harming Your Health?
Featuring: Dr. Jen Unwin – Clinical Psychologist, Author, and Metabolic Health Advocate

💡 15 years ago, Dr. Jen Unwin discovered the power of low-carb nutrition, a journey that would become life-changing — not just personally, but professionally.

Working alongside her husband, Dr. David Unwin, a trailblazing GP in the UK reversing type 2 diabetes through diet, Dr. Jen merged her background in clinical psychology with nutrition science to address a modern epidemic: food addiction and metabolic disease.

🔍 Who is Dr. Jen Unwin?

  • Clinical Psychologist with decades in the NHS
  • Co-author of "Fork in the Road"
  • Public health speaker on ultra-processed foods (UPFs), sugar addiction, and mental health
  • Advocate for patient-led recovery and food-based healing
  • Co-founder of the Public Health Collaboration (PHC UK)

🎧 In her compelling talk, she explores:

⏱️ Key Highlights

  • The underestimated mental health & nutrition connection 
  • Why UPFs are socially sanctioned yet neurologically addictive 
  • Why breakfast cereals and bedtime snacks are biochemical saboteurs 
  • How food addiction mimics other compulsive behaviours 
  • What we’re losing: 1/3 of life expectancy with elevated blood sugar 
  • The economic & empowering path of low-carb, real food 
  • The critical need for animal protein in the human diet 

🧠 Dr. Jen offers more than just theory — she shares practical tools for metabolic recovery, mental clarity, and reclaiming long-term health.
