Listen in today as Jimmy talks with Dr. Hodges about: What we get wrong about weight loss More physicians need to be comfortable treating obesity - or refer The importance of mindset for success Bio-Individuality Childhood obesity and the "let 'em live a little" mindset Just because it's what we see, doesn't mean it's normal or right The idea that you can't lose weight too slowly - "do it right so you don't have to do it over" "If you're doing good things for your body and your soul, weight loss is a bonus side effect. Weight loss is never my primary goal." – Dr. Linda Hodges

Join Jimmy today as he talks to Dr. Pete Patitsas about The Athos Diet. “I do think that in the old days the protein content of the vegetables was probably higher.”  - Dr. Pete Patitsas   In this episode, Jimmy welcomes in an emergency medicine physician named Dr. Pete Patitsas (@theathosdiet) who harkens back to his Greek roots to make the case that we should be cycling in targeted periods of time focusing on plant proteins, implementing intermittent fasting, and regular walking for exercise. Jimmy and Dr. Pete had a great conversation examining the concerns about plant proteins, why this is important for a temporary amount of time, and what benefits you can hope to gain from doing this protocol. For all the carnivore diet fans out there, don’t be so quick to dismiss this idea and instead listen to what Dr. Pete has to say. You might learn something new!

 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.
