Army veteran, powerlifter, and Keto advocate Ron “Big Black” Garrett is our special interview guest on Episode 1649 of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show. “We have to realize that the prejudices we have in our neighborhood, they are learning the same thing in their neighborhoods. Somebody has to take the initiative to change.” – Ron “Big Black” Garrett Army veteran and powerlifter Ron ‘Big Black’ Garrett, started Keto in October of  2017 after a diagnosis of diabetes. Being a former bodybuilder and currently a powerlifter, this diagnosis was devastating.

From a mentor at church, and through the prayers of his wife, Ron found keto and became an advocate, helping to spread the benefits of Keto among his family, coworkers, and friends. Listen in today as Jimmy and Ron talk about the recent developments that we’ve all been seeing in the news and how we as a global community should work to support our brothers and sisters of color. Ron will challenge you to change the way you think.

 Listen in today as Jimmy tackles a 2022 study confirming one benefit of a ketogenic way of eating.   “You now have the option of using a low-carb ketogenic diet as an alternative to all the other things your doctor used to use.”  - Jimmy Moore   In this episode, Jimmy features a study that was published in the January 27, 2022 issue of the Journal of Behavioral Medicine entitled “Depressive symptoms improve over 2 years of type 2 diabetes treatment via a digital continuous remote care intervention focused on carbohydrate restriction.” This research is from Virta Health and features several familiar names in ketogenic research, including Dr. Stephen Phinney, Dr. Sarah Hallberg, Dr. James McCarter, and others. As you may already know, Virta has been in the midst of an ongoing 5-year research looking intently at the impact of a low-carb, ketogenic diet on various parts of health. In this study they conducted a non-randomized, open label study of 262 Type 2 diabetes patients with obesity to see how well they responded to a list of depressive symptom markers with their intentional use of carbohydrate restriction. It’s a fantastic study that shows yet another surprising benefit of being in a healthy state of nutritional ketosis.

Join Jimmy today as he explores the medieval origins of segmented sleep schedules. “According to this article, my sleep is not different, it’s the original way we slept.”  - Jimmy Moore   In this episode, Jimmy gets personal to talk about his unorthodox sleeping pattern where he goes to bed for his “first sleep” for a few hours, then gets up for a few hours, and going back to bed again for a “second sleep” for a few hours. This has been his sleeping pattern for several months and he became curious about why this strange sleeping pattern was happening. An article published in The Atlantic on January 27, 2022 entitled “Can Medieval Sleeping Habits Fix America’s Insomnia?” offered up some ancestral clues about why Jimmy’s sleep is probably not as strange as it might seem. Tune in as Jimmy reads this article and offers up his sleeping experience in today’s episode!
