We've all heard about the benefits of supplementing our diet with things like calcium and high-dose Vitamin D. But have you ever stopped to think about whether that is really necessary to attain optimal health? Even more importantly, what if taking those actions actually can be more harmful than helpful? This is something that motivates a naturopath named Dr. Kate Rhéaume-Bleue who has been working voraciously in recent year to spread the truth about a little-known vitamin hardly anyone is talking about--Vitamin K2. She's the author of a fabulous book on the subject called Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox: How a Little-Known Vitamin Could Save Your Life which throws the door open on chronic health issues like osteoporosis, heart disease and even wrinkles. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Kate take an even closer look at the vital role that Vitamin K2 can play in the health of everyone!

Independent filmmaker Eric Merola is our guest today in Episode 702 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

There are so many alternative therapies for diseases people are dealing with that are just not getting the exposure that they properly deserve. And it was the work of a Houston, TX-based Dr. Stanlisow Burzynski using a process known as antineoplastons with cancer patients that attracted the attention of filmmaker Eric Merola to create a documentary highlighting the success of this alternative and controversial method. We first interviewed Eric in Episode 512 in 2011 about his explosive Burzynski: The Movie. Now he's back again in 2013 with a brand new film entitled Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business Part 2 that features the real-life stories of patients who have seen their cancer improved thanks to Dr. Burzynski. Listen in as Jimmy and Eric talk about the reason why he made another documentary movie and those who have risen up in opposition to the work he is doing.

Paleo bloggers and authors Matthew McCarry and Stacy Toth are our guests today in Episode 699 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

How many of us are proud of the fact that we can eat bacon on our healthy Paleo or low-carb lifestyle? What's not to like about a diet that gives you license to eat this mouthwatering meat candy without guilt? Well, if you ask Matt and Stacy from the "Paleo Parents" blog, they'd tell you that we need to honor every aspect of humanely treated, pasture-raised swine. The bestselling authors of the kid-focused 2012 Paleo cookbook Eat Like a Dinosaur: Recipe & Guidebook for Gluten-free Kids, they're back in 2013 with a book called Beyond Bacon: Paleo Recipes that Respect the Whole Hog designed specifically for adults. Matt and Stacy wanted to share how their family really eats after gaining a fresh new appreciation for where their food comes from. Listen to Jimmy talk with the "Paleo Parents" about why pastured pork is better, the lack of respect many in the Paleo community have for consuming all parts of the pig, how their kids responded to this new book and why choosing .

Clinical and holistic nutritionist and Primal podcaster Beverly Meyer is our guest today in Episode 698 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

As more and more people are finding out about the Paleo, primal and low-carb lifestyles as a way to optimize their health nutritionally, we're going to need people with knowledge, experience and wisdom to nurture them with patience and understanding about what this way of eating is all about. Today we have one of those people joining us our special interview guest and she's already on the ground in the San Antonio, Texas area doing great work. Her name is Beverly Meyer from the "On Diet And Health" web site as well as the fabulous "Primal Diet - Modern Health" podcast on iTunes. Listen is as Jimmy and Beverly talk about how she has dealt with having two autoimmune conditions--Non-Addison's Adrenal Failure and Graves Disease, the negative role anxiety plays on a whole host of health issues many people face, what happens when there is an imbalance in the neurotransmitters in your brain, what drives her to share about primal health principles in her nutrition practice and in her podcast and so much more! You might not have heard of Beverly before, but you'll be glad to you got know her after listening to today's episode.

Psychology professor Dr. David Diamond is our guest today in Episode 697 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

David Diamond, Ph.D. was like any other American in dealing with his health. He obediently at the high-carb diet with lots of whole grains while faithfully cutting his fat intake as a means for getting healthy. There was only one problem--his triglycerides were through the roof! This University of South Florida College of Arts and Sciences department faculty member wasn't about to sit on the sidelines and do nothing, so he started researching into what he could do to reduce his soaring triglyceride levels and take off a few extra pounds that had crept on.

That's when he discovered the low-carb lifestyle that would allow him to consume foods like red meat, eggs and butter--and his triglycerides dropped like a rock without medications! He became so passionate about this topic that he created a college class about the lies and distortions we've been told about public health and he was invited to give a lecture about it on campus entitled "How Bad Science and Big Business Created the Obesity Epidemic" and it's gone viral with over 85,000+ views and counting:

Listen in to today's interview as Jimmy and Dr. Diamond talk about his personal health journey, how the vegan diet advocates like Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. John McDougall are incredibly shortsighted in the way they think about the role of nutrition and health and why he doesn't seek out attention or accolades for the work he is doing educating the public. We have a feeling you're gonna REALLY enjoy this one from one of the featured experts in Jimmy's forthcoming August 27, 2013 book release Cholesterol Clarity.

Primal exercise and nutrition expert and former special investigator for the US Food and Drug Administration and US Department of Health and Human Services Gary Collins is our guest today in Episode 696 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

There's a lot more corruption going on behind-the-scenes of the food and drug industries than you could even imagine and former special investigator for the US Food and Drug Administration and US Department of Health and Human Services Gary Collins from the "Gary's Health Tips" blog has seen it all. He has seen first-hand how doctors are performing procedures on patients whether they need them or not all for the financial windfall that would come from doing them. It's this kind of criminal action that got Gary interested in the primal/Paleo lifestyle as someone who has always taken good care of his physical fitness. He now realizes that people have to take control of their own health because the medical profession and government may not have your best interests in mind. Listen in as Jimmy and Gary discuss his book Primal Power Method: Unlocking the Ancient Secret to Health as well as more stories from Gary's work in intelligence and as a special agent.

Paleo blogger and author Alison Golden is our guest today in Episode 695 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

There are so many voices in the Paleo community these days telling you what to eat, how to cook and all the wonderful benefits of implementing this hunter-gatherer concept into the modern world. But Alison Golden from the "PaleoNonPaleo" blog understands that the missing element in so many of the Paleo books and blogs out there is real practicality in bringing it all into action. That's why she wrote her book The Modern No-Nonsense Guide to Paleo: Develop Your Skills to Lose Weight, Gain Energy and Take Back Your Health to give assistance to those people who are new to Paleo into making a smooth and simple transition. Listen in as Jimmy and Alison talk about this critically important topic in today's episode.
