“If somebody is doing a key word search for something in alternative health, the chance is they won’t find it from Google. It’s time we boycott and find a different service.”

Most people generally recognize the idea of censorship as an extremely bad thing that suppresses freedom of consumer access to information to help them make informed decisions in their life. But when the largest and most recognized search engine in the world decides to engage in it with the sole purpose of silencing those voices that run counter to conventional wisdom on things like diet and health, it becomes a very serious issue. Read the story below from Mercola.com which is one of the victims of a new algorithm update on June 3, 2019 to the Google search feature resulting in a 99% loss of traffic in just a few short weeks.

Google buries Mercola in their latest search engine update

Dr. Mercola isn’t the only experiencing this decline in traffic as health podcaster and international bestselling author Jimmy Moore points out. Listen to learn more about why this change took place and what steps fans of the alternative and holistic health message can do (BOYCOTT GOOGLE!) to counter the silencing of opposition voices in this episode.

Former vegan and UK-based author John Nicholson is our guest today in Episode 1552 of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!
While Jimmy and Christine are gone on a much needed and deserved sabbatical for six months to rest and recuperate, we will be bringing you the best of the best from the vast archive of shows that Jimmy has accumulated over the last 15 years. We also will be airing shows from his wildly popular JIMMY RANTS live show that originated on Instagram Live and now resides at JimmyRants.com.

“The change was almost immediate when I started eating meat and the scales fell from my eyes about what I thought about meat eating.”

Veganism has become so entrenched in our society as the epitome of “healthy living” that so many people buy into it fully without understanding the hidden consequences of eating this way. Just ask John Nicholson who committed over half of his life to vegetarianism and ultimately to being a vegan for 18 of those years until he began noticing a rather precipitous decline in his health while gaining weight. It wasn’t until his 32-year life partner Dawn, who had been there with John from the time he first embraced plant-based eating, suggested they start eating meat again to regain their health that he made the fateful decision to consume animal products again for the first time in 26 years.

Their switch from a low-fat vegan diet to a high-fat meat-based diet was aided in part by the influence of a former vegan named Lierre Keith and her groundbreaking book exposing the dangers of vegetarian/vegan diets called The Vegetarian Myth (listen to my interview with Lierre in Episode 334 here). John experienced such a quick and dramatic improvement in so many aspects of his health once he added meat back into his diet again that he began on a mission to tell as many people as he could about how animal-based foods saved his health and life. He published a fantastic book about his experience in 2012 called The Meat Fix: How a Lifetime of Healthy Living Nearly Killed Me! that he hopes will influence other disillusioned vegans who desperately need to put some meat back into their diet again.

“Hopefully listening to your body when you’re not eating food will help you to hear what you’re body is saying when you add food back in.”

The 7-Day Water Fasting Challenge created by health podcaster and the international bestselling author of THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING with fasting guru Dr. Jason Fung (https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide…) named Jimmy Moore led a group of 2,000+ of his followers across all of his social media channels on a set goal of not eating for a week for the sake of gaining health. This update in the morning of Day 3 of the challenge shone a bright light on all the benefits you get from extended fasting that you might not have noticed. Listen to Jimmy share about a few of these along with the input from the people who were doing this challenge in this episode.

“There are so many benefits to fasting that have nothing at all to do with weight loss. The feeling of well-being and the blood sugar and insulin response benefits are so much bigger than what the scale says.”

The 7-Day Water Fasting Challenge created by health podcaster and the international bestselling author of THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING with fasting guru Dr. Jason Fung (https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide…) named Jimmy Moore led a group of 2,000+ of his followers all across his social media channels on a set goal of not eating for a week for the sake of gaining health. This best of episode was from the end of Day 3 of the fasting period and Jimmy addressed some of the more funny questions he had been getting about doing extended fasting (the most hilarious one–will I lose weight doing this?)

“Wheat has not been changed by modern genetic modification, it’s been changed by older processes that are not as precise, far more crude, and much worse for us.”

Today’s Best Of interview features one of the most popular authors in the low-carb community. He is Milwaukee, WI-based cardiologist Dr. William Davis who wrote an incredible (then) new book warning of the dangers to health and weight of consuming wheat called Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health. While this seemingly harmless food we are consuming is actually promoted by health experts and in government guidelines as “healthy,” Dr. Davis warns that major changes in the gliadin content of modern-day wheat is what makes it so dastardly for us to be consuming now. This book is one of the more seminal works on this subject that will hopefully spawn even more research and a closer examination by others in the years to come.

Plus, Dr. Davis answers these questions from LLVLC Show listeners:

DAN ASKS:
Thank you Dr. Davis for writing the book “Wheat Belly”. I’ve bought 3 copies to hand out to friends, plus the audio version. It’s making a difference. I’m sure you are receiving lots of success stories. I have lost 145 pounds, one big reason is I put the wheat out. I tell everyone I know to read your book.

JAMIE ASKS:
If wheat has addictive properties, are their any supplements or even drugs that someone who is wheat addicted might take to help them wean themselves off wheat. Can you list the other grains that have possible wheat like effects? Hops are used in beer. Any thoughts on beer?

I’ve listened to the audio version several times. You mention the “accompanying CD ROM”–Is there a CD ROM that goes along with the book? Will there be a paperback version and if so what will be the updates?

If your doctor has told you that they want to put you on statins, what (evidenced-based) references would you quote to argue against it?

MIKE SAYS:
Check this out: ‘Statins can cut prostate threat’: Medication for cholesterol can reduce risk of cancer

Now that Lipitor’s patent has run out, here’s the latest “coincidental” side effect benefit of statins: Just more one more BS epidemiological study.

PETER FROM TAIWAN ASKS:
Regarding the Apo E4 gene, about 1 in 5 people have it putting them at greater risk of developing atherosclerosis. Shouldn’t people find out if they have this gene before starting a low-carb, high-fat diet?

LUKE ASKS:
Should individuals with high heart scan calcium scores avoid the heavy ingestion of fat at one meal followed immediately by intense exercise or exertion?

Does saturated fat contribute to coronary plaque because it has a flat molecular structure unlike unsaturated fats whose molecular structure is “bent” or “kinky”?

You explain in Track Your Plaque that 20% of coronary artery plaque is calcium.  A heart scan measures calcium in the arteries.  Therefore total plaque can be estimated by multiplying the calcium score by five.  In this regard can you answer the following questions. Proponents of chelation therapy contend that chelation can remove plaque from the arteries.  Do you believe chelation therapy removes calcium from the arteries? What is the purpose of the body including 20% calcium in plaque?

JANET ASKS:
If someone has HDL of 79 and triglycerides of 62, but an LDL pattern A of 199, is this a concern?  The reason my naturopath is concerned is that i  have high blood pressure and took a cardiac test which measures to the fraction the carotid artery which is supposed to be very indicative of the whole artery system and it showed very little plaque but lots of thickening (from the  high blood pressure).  I’m 53 and have the carotid of a 72 year old.  Yikes.  He was trying to blame this on Atkins, but i’ve only been on Atkins for 6 months.  So I’m probably saving my life right?

CATHY ASKS:
Do you think CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) will aid in weight loss?  Have you ever used it with patients?

“It is very tempting to binge on a bunch of keto foods when you’re feeling down, but just because it is keto friendly doesn’t mean that treating emotions with food is the answer.”

We’ve all gone through those times of turmoil and stress that may lead us to want to engage in emotional eating. For health podcaster and the international bestselling author of KETO CLARITY Jimmy Moore, he dealt with such a situation in the hours before coming on video to talk about what he did to get through the stress and not give in. Listen to Jimmy share about this experience and what he did in this episode.

While Jimmy and Christine are gone on a much needed and deserved sabbatical for six months to rest and recuperate, we will be bringing you the best of the best from the vast archives of shows that Jimmy has accumulated over the last 15 years.

“I’m afraid that a lot of people that try this diet try to cut carbs and calories.”

Our first deep dive into the archives brings us to the first time Gary Taubes visited the show. This originally aired in two parts, but catch them both together in today’s show.

In September 2007, Gary published the book-length version of his years based upon years of research into the carbohydrate connection to diet and health problems which we all got a first glimpse of in his groundbreaking 2002 op-ed piece on the subject of the healthy low carb lifestyle entitled “What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie?”

The book is known alternatively as either Good Calories, Bad Calories (in the USA) or The Diet Deception (in the UK). Listen in as Jimmy asks Gary Taubes the questions sent in by his blog readers and podcast listeners, how much he initially hated that title for his book until his wife convinced him otherwise, the impact of carbohydrate calories on weight, the change of heart that Dr. Andrew Weil has had regarding low-carb, the theories espoused by low-fat diet guru Dr. Dean Ornish, and what can be done to influence the health authorities about the positive impact of low-carb living.

“It’s just common sense that when you switch from being a sugar burner to a fat and ketone burner that the preponderance of your food would come from fatty meats.”

In this JIMMY RANTS we highlight the latest from Harvard School of Public Health, calling on people to avoid saturated fat and eat more whole grains for heart health. These folks are sounding like a broken record, aren’t they?

The article that spurred Jimmy to rant about this is located here: A bacon-and-eggs keto diet may not be good for long-term health, but a Harvard nutrition expert says there’s an oily alternative. 

It’s the same old same old when it comes to these folks. Limit saturated fats and emphasize liquid fats, but have no fear, Jimmy takes this article apart piece by piece.

“There are some incredible people out there who should be sharing what they are learning along their journey.”

Health and weight loss marketing hinges on the crafty illusion that how a person looks on the outside with thin bodies, six-pack abs, and sex appeal determines the veracity of any given diet plan. If the people promoting a specific diet look good, then the assumption is that it is a way of eating worth doing to shed some pounds and make you healthier. But health podcaster and international bestselling author Jimmy Moore says this kind of imagery is merely a facade and doesn’t tell the whole story when it comes to a healthy nutrition plan like keto because people who eat this way start at various stages in life that can make it easier or more difficult depending on the circumstance.

Listen today as Jimmy, who openly discusses having extra weight on his body as a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet advocate, shares why the perception that only people with perfect Adonis bodies are allowed to talk about nutritional ketosis is completely insane in this episode.

If you’ve been following along you know that Jimmy and Christine are now gone on a much needed and well-deserved sabbatical for six months. While they rest and recuperate, we will be bringing you not only the best of the best from the vast archives of shows that Jimmy has accumulated over the last 15 years, but also shows from his wildly popular JIMMY RANTS live cast that originated on Instagram Live and now resides at JimmyRants.com.

“If your body is desaturating oxygen all night long you are not going to get restorative sleep and be in a perpetual stress response.”

Jimmy has decided on a 6-month hiatus — stepping completely away from the low-carb/keto community he helped to create and foster for the past 15 years — to relieve the stress directly impacting his weight and health. One of the ways he will be assessing his progress is following a set of deeper health markers recommended by functional medicine family doctor Gus Vickery of Asheville, NC (DrGusVickery.com). Listen in to part two of his thorough analysis of Jimmy’s pre-hiatus markers (July 2019), and be sure to listen in to yesterday’s show for the complete conversation with Dr. Vickery.
