Dr Paul Mason obtained his medical degree with honours from the University of Sydney, and also holds degrees in Physiotherapy and Occupational Health. He is a Specialist Sports Medicine and Exercise Physician.
Dr Mason developed an interest in low carbohydrate diets in 2011. Since then he has spent hundreds of hours reading and analysing the scientific literature. For a number of years Dr. Mason has been applying this knowledge in treating metabolic and arthritis patients who have achieved dramatic and sustained weight loss and reductions in joint pain.
Dr. Mason is also the Chief Medical Officer of Defeat Diabetes, Australia's first evidence-based and doctor-led program that focuses on the wide range of health benefits of a low carb lifestyle, particularly for those wanting to send into remission pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic illnesses.

Always look forward to Dr. Mason’s talks. Eye opening.
This is a clip of his talk at the Low Carb Sydney conference, last October.
I have watched Dr. Paul Mason for years and I love all his video presentations. Very happy to see this updated presentation on Seed Oil Toxicity. Seed oil, which I prefer to call “industrial oil”, is in almost everything. If you buy a steak in a restaurant, even if its a very good restaurant, there is possibility that seed oil was involved in cooking the steak. Definitely almost every food you can get from a fast food chain, whether it be chicken or pizza or whatever, is most likely to have seed oil.
Do you like potato chips or french fries? Seed oils !
Do you buy canned tomato sauce? Other than cans of pure tomato paste, any flavored tomato sauce will have seed oils. Also mayonnaise, salad dressing, ketchup, soups, the cheaper brands of ice cream, puddings, cakes, cookies. Do you buy sardines in olive oil? Check the ingredients carefully. You might find that the sardines are packed in a combination of seed oil and olive oil.
My favorite Doctor!!!
The fact that fruit is not the “healthy snack” which I have been told it is my entire life blew my mind. But the evidence is clear.
Sugar, fruit, alcohol, dairy and oil…in other words, every commercial selling food on tv…are doing us in!
When we know this ….WHY IS IT NOT TOLD…
Love Malcom Kendrick— thank you for mentioning him Paul – 🏴 And for everything you do.I eagerly await all of your videos — fascinating x
The scary thing is not only are ALL process foods loaded with sugar they’re also loaded with seed oil. They’re giving you no opportunity to get healthy.
Wait — are we really trying to say that LDL wasn’t a tragic evolutionary error that needs to be corrected with statins?
Oxidized LDL is an easily preformed test and one that we rely on for assessing CVD risk. Great presentation that supports our theory and treatment strategy.
Excellent lecture!!! Thank you Dr. Mason!
How long before my cardiologist understands this?
Wow! What a wealth of great information in this video! Thank you, LCDU and Dr. Mason!
My GP became quite agitated when he saw copies of those same journal articles sticking out of my bag. Had no idea why I’d requested Fasting Insulin. And knew I’d refuse a statin (from previous visit). I just got the results of my labs and then left. Poor guy. Yet all day he has a stream of obese people with huge stomachs and all the symptoms of metabolic syndrome streaming into his surgery, and he can only offer them statins and antihypertensives (for starters anyway!). He’s either in cognitive dissonance or just not connecting the dots. When will they wake up and stop following the guidelines (written by Big Pharma and Big Food)?
Great talk, delivered as always in a relatively easy to understand manner. I even remembered the glycocalyx before it came up! By the time he eventually retires, Dr Mason will have amassed a significant body of work. I just hope the message gets thru to more people, altho the LC community are already onboard and familiar with the real research. It’s such a shame that echoes of the now fully discredited diet-heart hypothesis live on with many institutions and the MSM.
I described Saturated vs Unsaturated Fats/carbon bonds to a woman who worked in the food service industry. She then told me that any equipment that used vegetable oils were always a difficult sticky mess to clean up. She also said that she never refrigerated her butter at home and it never goes bad or gets sticky like her bottle of vegetable oil.
One day I hope to see a podcast with you Dr Paul amd Dr.Ben Bikman… You both appear to be on the same page of informing the general public. Thank you❤
now these are views I can use: stop taking statins, decrease fruit consumption, eliminate high fructose corn syrup and table sugar consumption, eliminate all seed oils, possibly eliminate olive oil use for cooking (although this would be very hard for me to do), increase use of butter, beef tallow and lard for cooking.
Thank yiou LCDU and Dr. P. Mason. Dr. Mason may be the smartest human being I have knowledge of. Certainly he is one of the most useful.
