Paleo podcast super fan Michele Speidel is our interview guest today in Episode 733 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

How many of you are podcasting junkies? You know who you are. Whenever you're in your car, working out at the gym, traveling with the family or some other activity where there's some free listening time, you choose to load up your smartphone or MP3 player with a bunch of podcasts. They're a quick and convenient way to pass the time, be entertained and hopefully learn something new. When it comes to health podcasts, there's certainly a lot to choose from. And since we first debuted on iTunes way back in October 2006 as one of only a handful out there sharing this kind of message, there have been in excess of 80+ brand new health podcasts devoted to Paleo, primal, low-carb, real food eating alone! Needless to say, the impact that is having on the collective health of all those listeners tuning in each week is immeasurable. But people are listening like our special interview guest today, Michele Speidel from the "Paleochel" blog.

Michele is a long-time listener to "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show" and has enjoyed many of the new podcasters who have come on the scene in recent years. With several hours of commuting time traveling around the nightmare traffic that is the mainstay around the Washington, DC corridor, she passes the time listening to health podcasts to learn more about this subject of nutrition as it relates to her own health. Michele has always loved this topic since she was regularly reading Prevention magazine back in the 1980's as a kid. Of course, her nutritional philosophy has shifted greatly from those popularized low-fat, high-fiber articles she learned from during the days of Reagan to the healthy real foods-based low-carb/Paleo lifestyle that she enjoys today. Listen in as Jimmy and Michele talk openly about her own weight struggles, how she has continually pursued finding the answers about her health despite not seeing the success she wants, and a delightful trek down the amazing list of health podcasters who have influenced her the most.

Here are Michele's favorite health podcasts:

(Jimmy has interviewed ALL of these podcasters at least once and we've provided links to those conversations in the notes below)
