Dr. Bubbs Performance Podcast

Dr. Guess was interviewed by Dr. Marc Bubbs on the role of diet in the prevention of type 2 diabetes. This podcast covered what the research currently tells us (pretty much just lose weight and exercise!) and where research should be going - Dr. Guess has an active interest in the roles of high-protein diets on beta-cell function (how the pancreas secretes insulin), low-carbohydrate diets and very-low-energy formula diets. Her research should be able to provide important data on these questions in 2019!

British Society of Lifestyle Medicine

In this multi-disciplinary event which aimed to promote evidence-based lifestyle advice amongst GPs and other healthcare professionals, Dr. Guess spoke about practical advice GPs can give to patients at risk of, or with, type 2 diabetes. She also dispelled some common myths - such as diet cola is dangerous! (Evidence-based response: if a patient is drinking a litre of cola a day, switching to diet cola could save their life and limbs!)

Food Is Medicine

In this high-profile event organised by Dr Hazel Wallace (The Food Doctor), Dr Guess spoke to and took questions from the audience about carbohydrates. She also shared a panel with Dr Zoe Williams (ITVs resident doctor on the couch!) and Dr John Sykes of the BSLM about public health nutrition.
