 Healthtech executive Jim Howard is our special interview guest on Episode 1641 of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show. “If people really want to know about themselves, they will look at biomarker data on top of what your food intake is. It’s food and metabolic response together.” – Jim Howard Jim Howard is a 27-year healthtech executive with a number of successful start-ups. He currently is the CEO of Readout Health, a biomarker hardware research company in St. Louis, MO. Readout is the maker of Biosense, the first medical-grade breath ketone device designed to provide full-day feedback to patients and consumers. For the past 15 months, Jim has built the Readout company around the 3-years of research his partners have completed, building a team of 8. He is a fan of all things related to Healthspan and personally has been ketogenic for two years. Listen in today as Jimmy and Jim chat about his personal health journey and what made him want to get involved with this project, the clinical trial last year before Biosense was released, why it’s better to measure ketones throughout the day than once a day, blood vs. breath measurements, how his product leads to better adherence to a keto lifestyle, and more.

Join Jimmy today as he welcomes Dr. Rebecca Warren to talk about healing the thyroid. “It wasn’t about calories in/calories out, they were doing the wrong tests, and weren’t even reading the tests they were doing correctly.”  - Dr. Rebecca Warren In this episode, Jimmy speaks with women’s health and thyroid hormone expert Dr. Rebecca Warren (@dr.rebeccawarren) for a truly incredible conversation about the state of modern-day healthcare and the disappointing way allopathic medicine treats patients with chronic and metabolic diseases. Dr. Warren was thrust into dealing with her own health crisis as a teenager when she developed thyroid cancer at the age of 16 and was instructed to have a thyroidectomy (a complete removal of the thyroid gland). This set her on the path of knowledge thirsty for finding out answers about what happened to her so she can help others in a similar situation. Watch this engaging chat that runs the gamut on the layered approach to thyroid healing, what labs to have run if you suspect something is wrong, the pros and cons of the medications that are used to control thyroid, and what it takes over the long-term to live a healthy lifestyle.

 Join Jimmy today as he welcomes Frank Llosa as they talk about ethanol-free hard ketones. “People are looking for healthier alternatives and these have zero carbs.” - Frank Llosa   In this episode, Jimmy does something he’s never done before in the more than decade and a half history of hosting his podcast–he got drunk on camera while doing an interview! Yep, you can blame the creator of a product called R 1,3 known as Hard Ketones named Frank Llosa for this as Jimmy took up his challenge to try the world’s first ketogenic and ethanol-free alcoholic beverage–and it’s redefining what alcohol can be. As you will see and hear in this interview where Jimmy tries the R 1,3 for the very first time, there was a decided buzz that happened in the midst of the recording. Watch this episode to learn more about ketone esters, the accidental way Frank found out about the inebriating effects of R 1,3, and why this is a healthier alternative to drinking ethanol while creating fat-burning in the body. This is one of the more entertaining episodes in the history of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show podcast!

 Join Jimmy today for a brand new Jimmy Makes Science Simple as he tackles the idea that obesity can be avoided by just chewing and savoring food longer. “I wonder if they could have taken a steak and liquified it, if that would have made a difference.”  - Jimmy Moore   In this episode, Jimmy features a study that was published in the December 9, 2021 issue of the journal Scientific Reports entitled “Chewing increases postprandial diet-induced thermogenesis.” This research conducted by researchers in the Department of Nutrition and Metabolism at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan was a randomized crossover study of 11 young and healthy men to see what impact consuming a liquid drink would have on a process called diet-induced thermogenesis that would result in more energy being utilized after consuming the meals in one of three states–drinking it, holding the drink in their mouths for 30 seconds before swallowing, and chewing the drink continuously for 30 seconds before swallowing. The results of the study were truly fascinating and Jimmy shares the full details about it in today’s episode!

Join Jimmy today as he welcomes Alexandra Bucko to talk about how toxins might be affecting you in ways you didn’t consider. “There are known causes of disease that mainstream doctors ignore.”  - Alexandra Bucko   In this episode, Jimmy has a chat with a longtime online friend and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Alexandra Bucko (@throughhealthandback) for a delightful conversation about a variety of interesting topics surrounding the subject of health. Alexandra is currently studying nutrition abroad in Croatia and is a keen observer of what’s happening in the world of chronic disease, lifestyle, and diet. Jimmy and Alexandra shoot the breeze about the role toxins play in metabolic disease that supersede the carbs, fats, and protein, how you can gain weight on keto by becoming vitamin and mineral deficient, why chronic disease develops from deficiencies in key nutrients, and why not properly digesting your food can make feel unwell.
