Metabolic Health Conference
India
Reviews from Some of the National and International Guests of
MHC 1.0, MHC 2.0 & MHC 3.0

Dr David Unwin - UK
Thank you so much for your kind words about my efforts the other day.
I'm so gratified to hear my session was popular!
I have seen India as a 'sleeping giant' in terms of type 2 diabetes and metabolic health. Your conference was a very significant step towards awaking that giant. Imagine if together we could galvanise your mighty country into improving the nation's diet and beating Type 2 Diabetes into remission!!
Now there is an audacious goal!!

Dr Shawn Baker - USA
It was an honour to have participated in India’s first Low Carb Conference! This was a ground breaking and very well organized event. Congratulation to Shashi, Anup and the rest of the team for making this happen!

Dr Gary Fettke - Tasmania - Australia
Being part of India’s 1st Low Carb Conference, is an honour and privilege. I am delighted to have been supporting this group since its inception. Metabolic health problems are not just in my community – they are worldwide. India’s impending health crisis is mine, and yours, no matter where you are. Our combined efforts offer some hope for turning this around for individuals and communities, and hopefully all of us.”

Dr Peter Brukner OAM - Australia
Felt very honoured to be part of the Faculty for India’s first low carb conference.
All the big names in the field from the four corners of the world.
What a credit to the organisers for pulling this off.
I can’t wait for the next one.
Well done everyone.

David Diamond PhD - USA
Dear Shashi and Anup
Congratulations on accomplishing an outstanding meeting with so many world leaders of metabolic health.
You both are making a great difference in improving the health of many in India and around the world.
It was my pleasure and an honour to be a part of your meeting.

Angela Stanton PhD - USA
"This conference was a wonderful opportunity for the invited speakers to share their knowledge with highly knowledgeable interviewers. My experience was that of pure professionalism. It also had a significant impact on attendees, just based on the many questions I received after the conference via X, LinkedIn, and Facebook. This conference, with its multiple angles on metabolic therapies for various health conditions, was a comprehensive guide to all at all levels, from the person struggling to the scientist and medical doctor. A job very well done."
I am looking forward to future collaboration with your organization.

Dr Louise Phillips - Australia
The Metabolic Health Conference 2023 was incredible. Highlighting a wide range of health professionals, from different specialities across the globe, it was inspiring, informative and most importantly clinically relevant. Understanding how to manage patients from diverse cultural groups was unique and extremely interesting. The team at Metabolic Health Conference were incredibly well organised (the best I have encountered) with smooth prompt communication, excellent technical support and seamless delivery of a world class event. Congratulations to everyone! I'd love to be involved again!

Dr Deepa Mahananda - Australia
'A privilege to be a part of this event. It was an information packed weekend with lots of practical tips to assist people at any part of their journey with improving their metabolic health. The interview style was wonderful and it was great to see how the information could be applied to the Indian context' Dr Deepa Mahananda
We hope to be a part of your future events!
If you're ever holding an in person event then i would also love to make the trip :)

Dr Alex Petrushevski- Australia
'It was wonderful being part of this very well run event. There was a wealth of information that was shared from experienced metabolic health practitioners from all around the world. The format allowed for ample opportunity for questions and answers and audience interaction'
Dr Alex Petrushevski
We hope to be a part of your future events!
If you're ever holding an in person event then i would also love to make the trip :)

Dr Marcus Hawkins – New Zealand
I would like to extend a big thank you for including me in this massive, inaugural event.
It was so well organised, ran so smoothly & had some really 'big' name speakers & leaders in the field taking part.
The presentations were so comprehensive & I particularly like the global input to the subject eg low carb in New Zealand for example.
It was an honour to take part & share my passion & enthusiasm for carbohydrate reduction.
I am already looking very much forward to the next event.

Craig Emmerich - USA
"I am really excited about the work Shashi and Anup are doing to bring healthy eating to India. There is a big need for better nutrition all over the world. There hasn't been a lot of exposure to low carb diets in India but with diabetes on the rise, it is badly needed. Their work will help many people reverse the effects of diabetes and obesity." - Craig Emmerich

Dr Penny Figtree - Australia
Dear Shashi and Anup,
Thank you so much for including me in your amazing low carb marathon!!
I loved talking with you and was inspired by your clever questions and in-depth knowledge.
So many great presenters! I’ve listened to many of them and of course my favourites are the kidney people: Dr Gupta and Prof Weimbs. It breaks my heart for all those people with metabolic illnesses and chronic kidney disease who are being told to restrict protein. I feel it’s potentially very harmful.
Thank you for all you do. You are inspiring and saving lives!!!

Thomas Weimbs PhD - USA
Dear Shashi & Anup,
It my pleasure to participate in your conference and thank you again for having me.
Here are some thoughts that you are welcome to share:
"Besides the many top-notch speakers, what I most liked about the Metabolic Health Conference - India was that the talks were conducted as interviews. This format makes the presentations easier to listen to and allows for follow-up questions and answers. The fact that the entire conference is freely available on Youtube is amazing and will greatly increase the impact in India and worldwide."
I hope to interact you with you again soon.
All the best

Dr. Carlos Zumarraga, MD - Mexico
"It was an honor to participate in this wonderful first low carb conference in India. I am sure that you will find the information shared during these 3 days useful and life-changing"
Thanking you!
Carlos

Dr Andreas Eenfeldt - Sweden
"I loved to participate in the Metabolic Health Conference. It was organized really well and had an amazing group of speakers. The topic could not be more important for the future of health and happiness in India and beyond."

Dr Roshani Sanghani – Endocrinologist – India
The platform that Shashi and Anup have created is a confident step forward in India's journey to Metabolic Health. The response from the public shows that India is ready for a change in paradigms in healthcare. By collaborating with the top Metabolic Health and low-carb physicians around the world, they have created a destination for Indians to come together. It was a huge task to pull off such a large-scale event and make such rich content freely available via the internet for all. This is a testament to the fact that they recognise the tremendous work ahead. India is dealing with an urgent metabolic crisis; the course of which can be changed if we help each other awaken to our potential to reclaim our health!
Let's continue the work!
Dr Roshani Sanghani – Endocrinologist – India

Dr Mihir Malik - Orthopedic Surgeon - India
Words fall short of appreciating your massive efforts to pull off such an amazing low-carb metabolic conference in a Diabetic Country like India.
I believe you and Anup Sir have started a revolution in this country, targeting the exact needs of the hour and this was just beginning.
Thank you for making me a part of this conference and giving me the platform to express my views on the topic of low-carb and holistic lifestyle changes.
Even if one person preaches about low-carb nutrition to two or other people, India will witness a massive revolution towards Healthy India and the majority of us know that you were one of the major pillars of this revolution.
Let’s transform India into a healthier one and make India a Low Carb country.
More Power to you Shashi & Anup

Dr Sunil Menon - MD - India
It was a great pleasure to participate in the first global metabolic health conference which had a selection of some of the leading experts in the field of low carb interventions sports and exercise. In my experience it was one of the most efficiently organised zoom meetings I have attended, full of information and individual experiences. Looking forward to many more of this in future. All the best to Anup ,Shashi and the rest of the team.

Dr Diljan Mansoor - MD - Nepal
Greetings ! Dear Shashikant, Anup and entire team you guys truly deserve a standing ovation. Hats off to you guys. I want to express my deep gratitude for standing up for me and for the opportunity.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" is a common saying that originated from a Chinese proverb. And after pulling Metabolic Health Conference India’s first low carb conference off, this proverb is truly for you beautiful souls.
Thank you for holding your ground and standing for what’s right.
Best regards
Dr Diljan Mansoor - Nepal

Dr Iftikar Kazi - Pakistan
I had no idea that the program would stretch over 3 days and 36 hours, that too having main experts of the subject such as Prof. Tim Noakes, Dr Eric Westman and Dr Shawn Baker et al. I was also amazed at the depth of data and knowledge presented exclusively by Indian researchers in the event. The best decision to make it completely free by the organisers for everyone live and these talks will be available free of charge on YouTube as well. I hope to learn and refine my area of expertise after participating in the conference.
Dr Iftikar Kazi - Pakistan

Dr. Tanmoy Das, MD (Anesthesiology) - India
Dear Friends, we all know India's health is in a state of metabolic disaster.
People are desperately looking for a way to remain healthy without the toxic effects of drugs and the complications of mainstream medicine.
A conference like this and many more are the need of the hour to spread awareness about low carb & its benefits.
My heartiest congratulations to all of you for pulling off this historic event.
It was a pleasure and honour to be a part of it.
I wish you all the best for your future endeavours and I assure you of my help & participation.

Dr Ambanna Gowda – MD - India
A very unique precise & informative conference conducted by the team.
Lots of unlearning & Relearning aspects for day-to-day diabetic practitioners.
Looking forward to many such inclusive, educative programs for years to come!

Dr Joshua Chadwick - ICMR - India
"I believe there will be a day when reducing sugar will be considered an important lifestyle intervention for diabetes, as reducing salt is considered one of the key lifestyle interventions for hypertension. This conference is the starting of a healthy movement of reducing carbohydrates and saving the lives of individuals with diabetes".

Dr. Shabnam Das Kar MD, FMNM
I recently had the privilege of speaking at the online Metabolic Health Conference 2024, which was hosted in India. I must commend the organizers for their exceptional work. The conference was very well organized and reflected a high level of professionalism and attention to detail.
A special shout-out to Shashi & Anup, whose efforts were instrumental in uniting many of the world’s foremost experts in low-carb medicine. It was truly remarkable to see such a diverse group of leaders sharing the same platform and advancing our collective understanding of this important field.
Best regards,
Shabnam

Akmal Al-Bhatti - Pakistan
Thank you very much for inviting me to speak at the 2nd Metabolic Health Conference - India.
Similar to the 1st Metabolic Health Conference organized in India, the 2nd was also very informative. The team brought experts and enthusiasts from different parts of the world to explore metabolic therapies. I was honoured to speak and share my personal experience on ketogenic, and carnivore diets for the attendees' metabolic health. Commendations to Shashikant Iyengar and Anup Singh for their leadership and everyone in their team for organizing such events in a region where carbs and especially grains are falsely considered an integral part of the diet and a redline.
Wishing you and your team all the best in your journey to educate people to make healthy dietary choices.

Dr Cate Shanahan - USA
I was very excited to see this metabolic health conference headline the topic of seed oils, and very much enjoyed being part of this event. It breaks my heart that American mainstream medicine has exported cholesterol-phobia and seed-oils around the world. India has been ahead of the civilization curve for the past 4,000 years or so, and if any country can figure out how to shift their farmlands from growing these harmful substances back to permaculture/integrated agricultural products that can sustain the soil and human health, I think it’s going to be India. Please, please, share these free lectures far and wide, we need all hands on deck to stop the massacre!

I'm honoured to have been invited to participate in Metabolic Health Conference 3.0. The free sharing of uncorrupted health information has the potential to change thousands of lives for the better. I'm glad I could be a small part of that.

Bitten Jonsson - Sweden
Dear Shashi and Anup,” It was an honor to share about addiction in the conference. It was a extremely well organized event with so many lecturers from all over the world and incredible topics. A real holistic approach, so much needed. Next year a really hope to be listening to most of them. I support your undertaking in any way I can spreading knowledge and professional help to India.

Charles Mattcoks - USA
The conference was a joy to be involved in. To be able to be part of an international effort and be featured with many that I admire was a true pleasure. Hearing from other drs and experts around the world that also have a passion for metabolic health and their passion to help people is something that needs a big voice like this was able to capture. I look forward to the growth and hope to be part of the next one.

Valerie Anne Smith - USA
It was an honor to be amongst the 40+ invited speakers of the 3rd annual Metabolic Health Conference. It is so much more than a conference. It is a metabolic revolution--a movement of advocacy for real change. Shashi, Anup & Ira work tirelessly to advocate for the metabolic health of India & the world. It is estimated that 1 billion people suffer with a Mental Health issue. The most powerful intervention for the remission of mental illness is a ketogenic carnivore diet. Metabolic health equals mental health. Thank you for allowing me to share healing & freedom from mental illness with India & the entire world.

I have been attending and presenting at low-carb conferences for years. I’ve yet to see anything that compares with the Metabolic Health Conference organised by Shashi & Anup. A newcomer could completely transform their life even with one-tenth of the information in this conference. If you can attend, this is one you don’t want to miss.

Dr Ankur Verma - India
​MHC 3.0 was an incredible experience with some of the world's top names sharing their knowledge, journeys and wisdom on a platform like never before. 3 days of enlightenment was absolutely mind blowing. Anup, Shashi, Ira and the whole team behind the scenes definitely did a one up from last year. It was truly and honour for me to have been given the opportunity to speak at the conference. Congratulations to the whole team and I wish you all the very best for the future.

Michelle Hurn - USA
It was an absolute privilege to be a part of this groundbreaking conference. Type 2 diabetes continues to be a worldwide health crisis, and I'm so encouraged to see so many health professionals gather to advocate lifestyle-based solutions including low carbohydrate nutrition.
Your passion for helping the people in India and around the world was tangible. I am excited to see the ripple effects of this conference as I am sure many will be inspired to take their power back and reverse their Type 2 diabetes. Thank you again for this incredible event.

Thank you for inviting me as a speaker to your 3rd Metabolic Health Conference. It was an honor to be part of your commendable efforts to spread the message of metabolic health through lifestyle interventions. It takes a tremendous amount of work to organize such events.

Dr Arun Gupta - India
Many thanks for having me and hope I was useful at the conference.
I am glad to hear the progress that your group has made and wish you more achievements in coming years.
As you are aware, our major effort goes towards seeking policy changes to curb marketing ( Labelling, advertising, sponsorships etc.), May I request your group to make it part of your call if possible after due consideration. As your movement grows, so will be the voices from the public which might affect policy decisions.
Please feel free to use my talk in any manner that you like to.
With my best wishes,

Thank you very much organizers for the wonderful metabolic health conference ..I attended the third one and my heart is full of gratitude for the knowledge shared!
Having been in the medical field for about 26 years now...I know how difficult it is to arrange a conference!
Nothing comes free...registrations for a conference in India cost a bomb!
Sharing so much authentic knowledge which is going to be the Cutting edge in Diabetes management and that too for free is truly commendable!
I appreciate your immense dedication and commitment in co ordinating, getting experts in this field to share such wonderful expertise!
Their experience and expertise was very enriching!
Standing against the flow takes immense courage and strength!
dLife is backed by the power & strength of knowledge, dedication and expertise along with being so humble!
The effort by dLife to educate and keep NCDs at bay especially in India truly stands out in the crowd!
I am thankful to all the experts who participated and selflessly shared their expertise!
All I can see and appreciate is the huge courage steely will and humongous effort to make this happen!
Gratitude would be a small word as an expression to what I gained from it!
I can only say I am richer by attending this online event!
