Seattle, Washington-based board-certified family medicine practitioner and low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet proponent Dr. Ted Naiman is our guest today in Episode 1322 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

While medical school is teaching doctors and nurses how to manage diseases primarily with prescription medications and very little emphasis on diet, people like board-certified family medicine physician Dr. Ted Naiman from “Burn Fat Not Sugar” who practices at the Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, are taking matters into their own hands and doing what works best for their patients. Dr. Naiman first learned about low-carb diets when he was an intern and heard about it from a patient who reversed the ill effect of his Type 2 diabetes with the Atkins diet. When he went to medical school, Dr. Naiman ignored the discouragement from his instructors and started researching the macronutrients and the impact they have on health. What he discovered about low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diets astounded him and he’s been recommending them ever since.

Listen in to hear Jimmy and Dr. Naiman discuss his years as a vegetarian, how a low-carb, high-fat diet has dramatically improved his health, his goal to tell as many people as possible about the ketogenic lifestyle, why he’s been tracking triglyceride/HDL ratios in his patients and why he believes this is one of the most important metrics in tracking his patients, his two-ingredient secret to optimum health, why nutrient-density with minimal toxins is important in finding the best diet, the type of exercise that produces the maximum results, why he uses minimal body weight exercise and a very low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet personally, and a whole lot more! It’s always a fascinating conversation when Jimmy interviews enlightened medical professionals and Dr. Naiman doesn’t disappoint.

You know that your keto lifestyle is the best thing for your health, but are you getting all the essential micronutrients that you could? Today's guest has specialized in real food approaches to health, and has developed a product to help you ensure you are getting everything you need for optimum success. Dr. Thomas Cowan from DrCowansGarden.com has studied and written about many subjects in medicine including nutrition, anthroposophical medicine and herbal medicine. He is the author of Human Heart Cosmic Heart, How (& Why) to Eat More Vegetables,  The Fourfold Path to Healing and co-author (with Sally Fallon) of The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby and Child Care.

Listen in today as Jimmy chats with Dr. Tom Cowan about the importance of a well rounded ketogenic diet, which includes vegetables as a source of vital nutrients. Dr. Cowan realized how hard it is for a lot of people to obtain these vital nutrients, so he set out to develop a supplement that could make it easy for people to add nutrient-rich vegetables to their meals.

Clinical professor of radiology/nuclear medicine and ketogenic diet/cancer researcher Dr. Eugene Fine is our interview guest today in Episode 1320 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

We are excited to bring to you one of the researchers who has been examining the connection between an Atkins-styled low-carb ketogenic diet with advanced stage cancer patients to see what impact nutrition can make on cancer tumors. His name is Dr. Eugene Fine from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and he recently published his momentous pilot study of 10 cancer patients in the October 2012 issue of the scientific journal Nutrition. Jimmy and Dr. Fine discuss how he came across the ketogenic diet, why he believes ketones work to slow down or even reverse the growth of cancer, what results he saw in his 10 cancer patients and where he sees the future of ketogenic diet cancer research.

The second half of today's episode is a lecture from a Clinical Professor in the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and ketogenic cancer researcher named Dr. Eugene Fine who will be sharing his lecture entitled “Ketogenic Cancer Therapy: In vitro mechanisms — pilot in vivo results.”

Chemical engineer Ivor Cummins is our interview guest today in Episode 1319 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Irish chemical engineer Ivor Cummins from “The Fat Emperor” blog began having some issues with his health when a few blood tests came back as less than optimal. When Ivor put on his engineering cap to apply that methodical approach to solving his personal health problems, he researched and examined all the evidence involved in raising inflammation and cholesterol levels and what he discovered was astonishing to him. He read over 200 studies and came to the conclusion that what we have been doing to treat things like high cholesterol and metabolic syndrome have been wrong–DEAD WRONG!

SUGAR AS A PRIMARY ROOT CAUSE OF METABOLIC SYNDROME

http://youtu.be/xrsHqIKtXNw

Listen in to hear Jimmy and Ivor talk about how he’s always thought in a “very technical” manner, the high iron, GGT, and cholesterol levels that caught the attention of his doctors, how he started digging through the research on ferritin and GTT which he traced back to carbohydrate intake, how he got deep into looking into several hundred studies on cholesterol that intrigued him, why he started doing seminars and creating videos to help educate people about the low-carb answer to most of today’s chronic health issues, why he used to think the food quality issue wasn’t a big deal, the mass industrialization of food hasn’t occurred in Ireland yet, why his videos are very long and extremely detailed, how Dr. Robert Lustig’s 90-minute “Sugar: The Bigger Truth” video has nearly 5 million views, the response and feedback he’s received from his videos, how his health has improved and changed since going low-carb ketogenic, how he can “sense” being in ketosis, whether he will start testing ketones for a future lecture/video, predictions about when the low-carb message will be fully embraced, how Dr. Atkins was ahead of the nutritional curve decades ago, why keeping your mind open about nutritional science is critical to progressing, and the topics he has on his radar screen (including insulin) next.

Former KETO Foods low-carb food company founder and president Arne Bey is our guest today in Episode 1317 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

If you’ve been watching the low-carb products market for the last several years, then no doubt you remember the low-carb food company called KETO Foods. At one point back in the heyday of the low-carb food marketing trend, the company well-known for its quality low-carb shakes and other such foods was valued somewhere around $300-400 million dollars. But a series of factors (aside from the death of Dr. Atkins in 2003 and the decline in interest in low-carb food products) contributed to seeing this industry leader crumble and shut its doors for good. Learn more about the background of this story by reading this column by Arne Bey about how KETO got started, this Star-Ledger column on the demise of KETO Foods and my May 2006 blog interview with the former product development director for KETO Foods Pete Maletto about what really happened to KETO.

Then take a listen to what the founder and president of what was once one of the largest low-carb food companies in the world shared with Jimmy about what he believes happened to a once thriving company that was forced into closing its doors for good. If you ever wanted to know what happened to KETO, get the full scoop from the man who was at the helm when it all went down. Plus, don’t miss what Arne Bey has to say about the current state of low-carb, the opportunities for quality food products and where he sees this trend heading in the years to come. ENJOY!

Holistic health practitioner and chiropractor Dr. Justin Marchegiani is our interview guest today in Episode 1316 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Imagine spending your life preparing for a promising career in the field of medicine by taking the traditional route of medical school to learn about the latest developments in surgical and pharmaceutical protocols for making people well, just to observe first-hand what this model of health looks like up close and personal and you realize the tremendous shortcomings this has to offer people in regards to real solutions to their greatest health concerns. When Dr. Justin Marchegiani from Just In Health Wellness Clinic decided his time and energy would be much better spent helping people reverse the effects of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, his mindset changed from traditional medicine to more of a holistic, natural health approach to get to the root problem of health issues rather than simply covering them up with medications.

Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Marchegiani talk about this journey to holistic medicine, why being a holistic doctor helps his patients get better through nutrition and lifestyle rather than medicine and surgeries, the common problems he is seeing in patients such as thyroid hormone imbalances, female hormone imbalances, and chronic infections, what he does to get to the root cause of these issues, how a low-carb diet fits within the nutritional protocol for improving the health of most of his patients, his own battle with an autoimmune thyroid issue and the research that led him to, why some people struggle even eating a low-carb and/or Paleo diet, the massive impact that stress plays on your health, and so much more! Dr. Marchegiani has lived it and is now helping his patients get well without the need for drugs. This is the future of healthcare and the prudent medical professionals are moving to a template like the one Dr. Marchegiani is using.

Authors and Ketogenic Researchers Dr. Jacob Wilson and Ryan Lowery are our interview guests today in Episode 1315 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

As you know, The ketogenic diet is on fire this year as more and more people become familiar with this powerful dietary approach that has proven effectiveness for conditions ranging from obesity and type 2 diabetes to Alzheimer's disease to cancer—not to mention its positive effects on athletic performance.  In The Ketogenic Bible, Jacob Wilson and Ryan Lowery offer a comprehensive look at the ketogenic diet and the fat-burning state it induces, ketosis. It's the most complete source for information on keto—not only how to follow a ketogenic diet but also how it affects the bodily systems and processes that are at the core of how we feel and function every day. Their approach is based on the wide range of scientific research that’s been conducted on ketosis, including the research they're doing at their own Applied Science and Performance Institute. Through their work with people who are switching to a ketogenic diet, they also know the most common concerns and questions, so they've included practical tips and advice for following keto, along with more than 75 easy and delicious recipes.

Listen in today as Jimmy talks with Dr. Jacob Wilson and Ryan Lowery about launching their book The Ketogenic Bible, the science and practical application behind the ketogenic diet, exogenous ketones, and all of their potential applications, human performance, whether you can gain muscle and lose fat on a ketogenic diet, the newest, cutting edge research on longevity, potential impact for cognitive disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons, and TBI), and much more.

Wellness coach, certified nutrition educator and bona fide magnesium expert Morley Robbins is our interview guest today in Episode 1314 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

As a hospital executive for over 30 years, Morley Robbins became disenchanted with the “revolving door mentality” of these “illness maintenance” enterprises.  He has dedicated the remainder of his career to “saving one starfish at a time” by coaching clients how to eat “real food” and thereby facilitating the process of natural healing.

We all know there are benefits to getting adequate amount of vitamins and minerals into our diets through both the foods we eat as well as added supplementation. However, many people neglect the importance of certain critical micronutrients that they need in their bodies to function as optimally healthy as possible. That’s a message that Morley “Magnesium Man” Robbins is seeking to convey to the public regarding the subject of magnesium. While Vitamin D and Vitamin C get most of the headlines these days when it comes to their importance on human health, Morley makes the argument that magnesium deserves a place at the table of discussion within the context of gaining health. Listen in as Jimmy and Morley talk about this lesser-known but incredibly important nutrient that everyone needs to be more aware of getting adequate amounts of in their diet. ENJOY!

Author, podcaster, and LLVLC team member Hank Garner is our interview guest today in Episode 1313 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Back in 2011 Hank Garner shared his success story of his incredible 130-pound weight loss success story, top-ranked interview-based iTunes health podcast called “My Low-Carb Journey” (named by Jimmy as one of the top 10 health podcasts every low-carber should be listening to in 2011), and running in half marathons while vastly improving his health while accomplishing more than he ever thought possible. Life was good.

But then it happened.

It’s funny how life has a cruel way of throwing us a curve ball every us every now and then when we least expect it. For Hank, that meant a diagnosis in 2011 of a degenerative arthritic condition where basically the cartilage in his joints was disintegrating. This led to a foot surgery that prevented him from being able to workout as he was used to doing. It was a depressing time for Hank who had found such confidence and energy from all of the things he was able to accomplish through his low-carb success story. Now all those rewards were crumbling around him like falling bricks and this led to an increase in stress, opening up of some old emotional wounds, and the predictable weight gain and decline in health that so many who have found success have experienced.

Listen in as Hank and Jimmy discuss being “the fat kid” growing up, all the “wake up call situations” that led to his initial low-carb weight loss success, the “crazy goals” he set for himself, the circumstances that took place in the midst of his “freak” genetic foot problems, the additional stress that came when he moved his parents next door to him, the scared and confused position he was in about how to climb out of the hole he was in, how his own personal arrogance about his 2011 success made him more vulnerable to the ultimate failure he experienced, the humility he took on in the healing process both emotionally and physically, how this experience impacted his faith in God, the inspiration and release he received by writing a fictional novel called Bloom, how he turned to nutritional ketosis in 2014 to start healing himself again, the instant results he began seeing when he got focused on doing this again, and so much more! If you’re one of the many who e-mailed Jimmy asking “Hey, where’s Hank Garner?” then you won’t want to miss this special update episode today.
