Today on Jimmy Makes Science Simple on the LLVLC Show, Jimmy shares the findings of a new study that debunks the myth that low-carb causes kidney damage.

“They started with heavily medicated people and throughout the study all of their renal health markers improved.”

Jimmy Moore

In today’s episode, Jimmy presents a NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN episode of his show JIMMY MAKES SCIENCE SIMPLE (@jimmymakessciencesimple) to outline important new research he wanted you to know about. It’s a study published in the July 22, 2021 issue of Current Opinion In Endocrinology, Diabetes, And Obesity entitled “Renal function in patients following a low carbohydrate diet for type 2 diabetes: a review of the literature and analysis of routine clinical data from a primary care service over 7 years”: https://journals.lww.com/co-endocrinology/abstract/9000/renal_function_in_patients_following_a_low.99181.aspx

UK-based low-carb general practitioner and health researcher Dr. David Unwin and his research team wanted to examine the current evidence in the research literature regarding the impact of protein consumption on renal (kidney) function and disease progression and comparing it to what he has seen in his own clinic using low-carb diets for the past seven years. The common belief is that dietary protein negatively impacts the kidneys and leads to the progression of kidney disease. But what Dr. Unwin and his team found is a far different story for both renal function and cardiovascular disease. This is an IMPORTANT study that you will learn all about in this episode.

With both of his parents being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes two decades ago, this topic is personal for Ben and is the impetus for creating an educational resource or possible drug that could provide the ever-elusive cure for diabetes.

Today on the LLVLC Show, we have the second of a two-part conversation about MASKGATE at the Hub City Farmer’s Market.

“The posts that we made were very clearly indicating that we support equality for all. We’re not saying that black lives don’t matter. What an absurd thing for someone to say in the 21st century.”

Travis Childers

In today’s show, Jimmy shares Part 2 of a special 2-part LLVLC Show investigative report looking into a story about an incident that recently happened at his local farmer’s market in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Just over a month ago, one of the longtime animal foods vendors at the Hub City Farmers Market named Travis Childers from Old Paths Farm was banned from being at the market because he refused to wear a mask. Something didn’t seem right about this story, so Jimmy dug deeper to see what really happened.

WATCH PART 1 HERE: https://youtu.be/kePukEXNaOA

Jimmy interviewed Travis to get his side of the story and responds to the claims made about him by the Executive Director of the Hub City Farmers Market Jordan Wolfe in my previous interview. Tune in to hear how he attempted to communicate his concerns privately, the frustration he felt that he wasn’t being heard, his faithfulness in support the Hub City Farmers Market for the past 7 years, the increased aggression being shown towards him by the market manager, his concern with having politics mixed in with a nonpartisan community group like the farmers market, and how this entire incident was preventable had there been better communication all around. It’s an unfortunate tale in what NOT to do when conflict arises.

NOTE: Travis and his Old Paths Farm business has successfully moved to the nearby Landrum, SC Farmers Market who do not play politics and do not require him to show proof of the hokey pokey or wear a mask. You can visit him there on Saturdays from 8-12PM: https://agriculture.sc.gov/farmers-markets/landrum-farmers-market/

Today on the LLVLC Show, we have the first of a two-part conversation about MASKGATE at the Hub City Farmer’s Market.

“Our decision had everything to do with the reaction to the mask policy and what happened the two weeks after the attempt to enforce that policy.”

Jordan Wolfe

In today’s show, Jimmy shares Part 1 of a special 2-part LLVLC Show investigative report looking into a story about an incident that recently happened at his local farmer’s market in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Just over a month ago, one of the longtime animal foods vendors at the Hub City Farmers Market named Travis Childers from Old Paths Farm was banned from being at the market because he refused to wear a mask. Something didn’t seem right about this story, so Jimmy dug deeper to see what really happened.

Jimmy interviewed the Executive Director of the Hub City Farmers Market named Jordan Wolfe to detail exactly what happened from her perspective, the challenges that the pandemic presented her market, why the mask policy was incredibly difficult to enforce, whether they required their vendors to show proof of getting the hokey pokey, the role of the interpersonal conflict between the market manager and the farmer, why they didn’t invite the farmer back even after removing the mask policy, and the complicity in the mistakes that were made in handling this incident.

Today you’ll get the farmers market side of the story and in Part 2 on Wednesday we will hear from the farmer Travis Childers to hear what happened on his end of things.DON’T MISS IT!
