First-time filmmaker and low-carb, high-fat diet advocate Donal O'Neill and functional medicine physician and health blogger/podcaster Dr. Amy Myers are our guests today in Episode 692 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

We are constantly on the lookout for people who are doing great work on behalf of helping others cut through the morass of information about nutrition and health. Donal O'Neill from "Let Fat Be Thy Medicine" most certainly fits that description. He decided he wanted to make a film highlighting and featuring the great carbohydrate-restriction work of two former LLVLC Show podcast guests Professor Tim Noakes from South Africa and Dr. John Briffa from the UK. The footage for this outstanding new movie called Cereal Killers is already underway and Donal needs YOUR help with his Kickstarter fundraising campaign to get it finished and out there to make an impact on the way we eat. Listen in at the very beginning as Jimmy (who has seen the one-hour of proof of concept footage) and Donal discuss in a brief 10-minute mini-interview why he personally decided to do this project, his self-experiment for the film eating a low-carb, high-fat diet and the hopes and dreams he has for taking the message of this film to a worldwide audience! PLEASE HELP SUPPORT THIS EFFORT!

Then in the main interview for Episode 692, we are pleased to welcome an Austin, TX-based functional medicine physician named Dr. Amy Myers who has her own unique brand of treating patients she calls "The Myers Way." After being mentored by two of the giants in the world of nutritional health--Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Mark Hyman--Dr. Myers opened her own practice called Austin UltraHealth and even ventured into the world of health podcasting recently with her brand new "The Myers Way Podcast." Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Myers discuss how she grew up in a health-conscious family, why she decided to choose functional medicine over becoming a naturopath, the media opportunities she has been given as an articulate spokesperson for health, why she is one of the rare medical doctors who blogs and podcasts and so much more! If you've been curious about what a functional medicine physician looks and sounds like, then don't miss what Dr. Amy Myers has to share in today's show.
