DR. ROSHANI SANGHANI, MD Website:

Watch the Part 1 Here:
▶️

Please join me in welcoming endocrinologist Dr. Roshani Sanghani. Dr. Sanghani explains the different health problems in India, including insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver, and protruding bellies. These problems are starting to occur in young children—1 in 3 Indian children have high triglycerides and a fatty liver.

Endocrinologists do not focus on carbohydrates triggering insulin while in medical school. Dr. Sanghani tells us that she spent very little time on the lifestyle aspect of disease and much more time learning about prescriptions.

Dr. Sanghani explains that endocrinologists prescribe insulin according to the patient's carbohydrate intake. It finally dawned on her that by lowering the patient’s carbohydrate intake, they could lower their insulin. She traveled to India, determined to share this information with her patients.

India has been badly affected by low-fat, low-calorie dietary marketing. Dr. Sanghani explains a typical day of eating in the Indian diet consists of snacking, high carbohydrate intake, and very little protein.

Many Indians are vegetarian, making it very difficult for them to meet their protein requirements. Many Indian vegetarians are okay with dairy and consume yogurt, milk, and paneer cheese for protein. She also recommends whey protein for her vegetarian patients. Although not a whole food, it’s an ideal way for a vegetarian to increase their protein intake.

Some vegetarians are fine with adding eggs to their diet, although some are concerned about dietary cholesterol. There’s no proven link between dietary cholesterol and bad cholesterol in the blood. Tofu and tempeh are also protein options for vegetarians in India.

Dr. Sanghani helps her patients learn to read labels and understand the problem with processed grains and starches. She focuses on first increasing protein, then decreasing carbs while increasing salad intake.

Some of her patients wear continuous glucose monitors to understand the effects of carbohydrates.

He offered me some nutritional classes with their staff Nutritionist. I FLATLY turned him down……politely, of course. BECAUSE I am very aware of how Nutrition is taught in colleges. They are back in the Dark Ages and will….unknowingly…..keep you sick. Hopefully, your daughter has gotten OUTSIDE teaching on Nutrition !❤️

    I appreciate the honest assessment of.lack of nutrition teaching in medical school. As an RN in the US, it is outside my scope of practice to Rx medications, so I do extensive education on nutrition for my patients. Part of my job is to teach my patients how to reduce the risk of returning to the hospital. Nutrition is SO IMPORTANT!!!! People are eager to learn because it’s something they can control. I’ve asked many docs in each area I’ve worked (Nephrology. Cardiology, Orthopedics, Neurology, and currently GI!!) why they don’t teach patients nutritional ways to help manage their health conditions. The answer is the same – they don’t study that in school.
    All that to say – food IS medicine. If your nurse is trying to teach you about how to use nutrition to manage your health, please listen and ask questions, etc! We LOVE teaching these things!
