Top-ranked health podcaster, corporate wellness coach, and author Shawn Stevenson is our guest today in Episode 915 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Most people who get into the health community tend to find their way to improved nutrition and lifestyle choices as a direct result of some physical ailment they or someone they love have personally experienced. And that certainly describes bestselling author and podcaster Shawn Stevenson who was told by conventional medicine in his early twenties that there was nothing they could do about what was described as an “incurable” spinal condition known as degenerative disc disease. This didn't sit well with Shawn and that began him on his own search for self-discovery about what was happening to his body and health which helped him heal his body and ignite within him a love and desire to help others.

Now he's the host of the hit health podcast called "The Model Health Show" where he shares his unique ability to whittle down complex health topics into practical, bite-sized chunks for people to embrace and apply in their own lives. One area of special interest to Shawn is sleep and he's written a book about it called Sleep Smarter: 21 Proven Tips to Sleep Your Way To a Better Body, Better Health and Bigger Success. Listen in as Jimmy and Shawn share about the behind-the-scenes of health podcasting, why a low-carb diet is perhaps the optimal nutritional approach for most people, the road to health that he traveled, the link between sleep and health, why we crave carbs when we've been sleep deprived, how weight gain is directly attributed to poor sleep quality, and so much more. This podcast interview is with one of the best of the best health podcasters of our time--DON'T MISS IT!
