Naturopathic doctor, integrative medicine specialist, and author Dr. Richard Maurer is our interview guest today in Episode 825 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.” 

Most of the so-called health "experts" have attempted to communicate the message that a proper diet is merely a game a math--eat less calories and exercise more to create an energy deficit to magically lose weight and get your health in order. But naturopathic physician and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Richard Maurer says this doesn't jive with what he has seen treating patients dealing with obesity and chronic health problems. That's why he created a six-step plan for knowing where you stand in your health in his 2014 book entitled The Blood Code: Unlock the Secrets of Your Metabolism. Jimmy met Dr. Maurer at the recent Paleo(f)x conference in Austin, Texas earlier this year and discovered he uses low-carb Paleo lifestyle principles to help heal the bodies of his patients. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Maurer discuss why he chose the naturopathic route to medicine over becoming a traditional medical doctor, why blood testing is so critically important to tracking your progress in your health, the role skin-fold calipers play in assessing your health, the connection between insulin resistance, high insulin levels and hypothyroidism in modern diseases, determining the right mix of macronutrients that are right for you, various lifestyle habits that can impact your health, and so much more! Dr. Maurer abundantly understands what it takes to heal your metabolism once it's been broken and he shares all about it in today's episode.
