- Born and educated in Ireland, Dr. Tim O’Dowd arrived in Australia as a newly qualified doctor in 1975. He initially trained in obstetric and gynaecology at the Mater Hospital in Brisbane and gained specialist qualifications in England (FRCOG) and Australia (FRANZCOG).
Tim began seeing patients at his private Obstetrics and Gynaecology practice on the Gold Coast in 1987. In 2000 he founded Fertility Gold Coast with his colleagues, and in 2011 joined the Queensland Fertility Group to form the Group's Gold Coast clinic. In August 2016 he co-founded The Fertility Clinic, a lower cost option belonging to QFG.
Tim has a deep interest in the importance of nutrition for fertility and pregnancy. Many of the chronic illnesses of today are due to our bodies response to poor nutrition. The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease suggest that a baby’s 9 months in the uterus are probably the most influential and consequential of their whole life.
Thank you very much for sharing this information. 2 Years after starting Keto, all my cyst and menstrual problems have disappeared.
watching this and started bawling. this has been my life. Why has no Dr. told me this? for YEARS???
Doctors and GPs should be urged to take an interest in this subject so they can make up their own minds. Most doctors, st least here in the UK, are completely unaware of this. In fact a kidney specialist told my mother a couple of weeks ago that diabetes is not reversible.
Great job. If i had my own daughters and their children i'd be praising you even more! At 73 i can reflect on just how as a female person, a former midwife and then a psyche RN, i am aghast at just how unaware i really was with regard to food and my body - apart from not eating ibms and getting good exercise, sun and fresh air. All praise to you Tim for being part of this Low Carb Reformation.
So glad I ran across this! Thank you so much for this and thank you for the charts and break down. You are so spot on. I am 34 and your layout has been my life..now I'm pre diabetic with no kids, miscarriage, and trying to get a handle on this.
I was told by 3 different doctors when I was young that I would never have children. That was many decades ago. No explanation at the time. When I was getting ready for my wedding, like all women, I wanted to look good. So much that I went on the evil Atkins diet. About a year after marriage I had a baby girl.
Great talk!! Why haven't mainstream doctors figured this out yet. They treat PCOS with metformin , why haven't they taken the next step. Great talk Dr. O'Dowd!!
Thanks for your excellent talk. I will be sharing this with my Family Practice colleagues who do OB.
The biggest problem with most carbohydrates is that they are addictive, eating them creates the desire to eat more. You may as well give α-amylase and α-Glucosidase inhibitors whilst trying to get them cut down on carbs. Or White oyster mushrooms and
Maitake mushrooms with each meal which does the same thing.
Very interesting, thank you.
I thought that there are no problems with PCOS treatment in Europe (I’m from Russia), so I surprised reading comments below. What’s a shame :( I suffered from ins resistance almost since my birth and doctor said I have PCOS when I was 14. Fortunately, now I’m struggling in order to cope with this, I’m trying low-carbohydrate diet and pills to decrease ins resistance and it helps.
Is it possible to see the prior videos that are no longer on YT?
I've been fighting with IR and PCOS for twenty years and no doctors helped me.
I have been following a ketogenic diet for the past year. I started because I was obese and pre-diabetic. I have also been taking meds for high cholesterol for the past 20 years.
Dr. Tim O'Down, thank you so much for your video. I always enjoy learning about this stuff. I loved the information about the historical timeline related to diabetes and the food pyramid. But Keto and very low carb diets for PCOS is not suggested from everything I have read from specialist (natural) of PCOS. Some say that it is OK for very short term for insulin resistance PCOS, but then not so much for long term. It can cause women to lose their periods. As I am just an obsessive researcher about this stuff... I think it is interesting that you say otherwise. KETO really makes me feel like I am going crazy. I definitely feel a huge shift in my hormonal health in not a good way. I am pretty positive I am insulin resistance PCOS myself (not obese), and I strive for 25g (or less) of natural sugar a day, and absolutely no added sugar. I eat potatoes or rice (a small amount) in the evening. I aim for a lower carb breakfast, and a moderate carb lunch. I love fats and I do believe that they are good for you. There is also post pill, and inflammation PCOS and possibly other causes of PCOS. But, MOST are insulin resistance pcos. Making sure that you are not deficient in vitamin d, magnesium, iodine, and zinc are also important. Due to the decrease of iodine in our foods (I believe after the great depression) we begun to have a lot of issues. Our soils are unfortunately depleted (in America) of magnesium and other minerals. I hope people become more aware of the value of nutrition. Thank you for the information.
Curing my fibroid of many years was a dream come true for me and my husband!! Thank you very much doctor Ehimare on RUclips and your your remedy treatment ❤ .
Im 45. Insulin resistand, pcos, heart disease. I have two young daughters
What about pill induced PCOS. Why does this happens. Because of estrogen?
That's all well and good but no one is talking about teens with PCOS.
