Put your Money where your Mouth is #LCHF #running

Using ‘bro’ makes you leaner and stronger

Partridge Street General Practice is all about Health not sickness, so I’m taking a week off for some rest and relaxation! I’ll be running the 10km Dolphin Run on my break while the rest of our Team will be here to Help You. Let’s see how #LCHF and #running go together! 🍳⚡️🏃

Put up or shut up is a common call these days. We also ask people to put their money where their mouths are. Surely if it doesn’t work for them or they can’t show that it works, we shouldn’t do as they ask us to do. Putting my money where my mouth was in the past led to a lot of eating!

Let’s look at where I’ve come from here. This shows a weight of 96.7kg just after Christmas 2015. It also shows a DEXA scan previous to that (weight 93kg). Let’s see some exercise evidence before we get to the new scan!

Luckily, no pictures exist of my time in the gym over the weekend. The interest may not be ready for the language I used upon meeting the heavy weights for the first time in a while. Even using the magic word – ‘bro’ – didn’t help. Enough stalling, where’s the July 2016 DEXA and weight?

That is 13kg down from Christmas 2015, with nearly half a kilo less visceral fat (fat that accumulates around the abdominal organs – important in the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes). This is with exercise and yes, a lot of the weight loss predates a formal ultra low carb diet, but I’m very heartened by these results. Let’s see how the next few weeks go!

Thanks to Adelaide Bodyscan for the DEXA imaging – feel free to head over there and see how you measure up (tell them I sent you!). If you liked this, check some previous #LCHF posts out here:

Go Forth (Low Carb Week 4)

As promised, some body composition data!

This week has seen an improvement in eating. The eggs are making a regular appearance at lunch and breakfast has not been missed. My cough has gone, energy is high and I’ve had some good runs and solid gym sessions. I’ve even run down some Pokemons!

So how’s it going? What’s happening with weight, waist, and fat? Well…

You’ll see next week!

PokemonGP (Technology and Nostalgia)

July 15, 2016September 16, 2016 by Dr Nick Tellis, posted in Comprehensive, Empowering, Exercise, Glenelg, GP, health, How to, Medical, Men, Men's health, Men's Health Week, Natural, News, Partridge Street General Practice, Professional, Self help, Winter

Nostalgia. It’s a wonderful thing, a good feeling about something from the past. It comes from two Greek words, the words for ‘homecoming’ and ‘ache’. It’s very powerful. Nintendo have recently conquered the social media world with PokemonGO. They have taken the technology of Augmented Reality and multiplied it by the power of Nostalgia and added $7.5 BILLION to their net worth. Our politicians could learn a thing or two from that!

What can GPs learn from this? People used to feel good about their family doctors. Their doctor knew them and their family and spoke to them and for them. That nostalgia is powerful too.

Partridge Street General Practice has recently improved our technology. We’ve upgraded our medical software and will soon be able to text our valued patients. You can contact us online and even book your appointment from your mobile phone anywhere in the world. OurGPs have access to the latest medical resources online. The future is here now.

We’re nostalgic too. We remember when people trusted their family GP and that’s what we’re about at Partridge Street General Practice. Your GP and Your Practice. Come and catch us! Don’t miss out!

Return of the Carb (Week Three)

July 10, 2016August 6, 2016 by Dr Nick Tellis, posted in carb, Comprehensive, Diet, Empowering, Exercise, Glenelg, GP, Grass fed, health, How to, LCHF, lowcarb, Medical, Men, Men's health, Men's Health Week, Natural, News, paleo, Partridge Street General Practice, Professional, Self help, Winter

It’s been a tough week. My holidays finished and I returned to work, full of ideas and energy. However, plans rarely survive their first meeting with reality and some carbs crept back in…

My eggs sat in the fridge while I snuck away for a secret rendezvous with forbidden carbs. A few illicit meals later and the carbs had stolen my energy away. I fought back and vanquished the carbs with a little overeating…

As the end of the week approached, I got back into low carb mode, and gave myself a boost by getting back into some exercise. A run and 3 tonnes of weights later and I’m back on track!

I’m looking forward to the upcoming week (you can see previous weeks here and here) and this will be the week where the rubber hits the road. Yes, I will be posting some weight and body composition details!

We told you so: Ignoring primary care is never a good idea

Let’s spend the health dollar a little better.

Here’s a thought. Only those who have a FRACGP or FACRRM should be able to access the VR item numbers – which are
3, 23, 36, 44, 721, 723, 732, 900, 903, 2712, 2715, 2717, 2713, 597, 599 and all of the home/nursing home equivalents (5003 etc). Registrars may only access the VR numbers when in an accredited training program in accredited practices during training time. 10% of the savings from this to be paid via the PIP to teaching practices, 90% of savings to be put towards increasing the level B VRGP rebate.

What do you think?
