Jim Abraham from CharlieFoundation.org discovered the ketogenic diet because of his son Charlie. In 1993, 11-month-old Charlie Abrahams developed difficult to control epilepsy. As a last resort, while Charlie was experiencing multiple daily seizures and multiple daily medications, his parents turned to a Ketogenic Diet for help. The diet worked. Charlie became seizure and drug-free within a month. He was on the diet for five years and now eats whatever he wants. He has never had another seizure.

Listen in today as Jimmy and Jim discuss this personal discovery and triumph for the Abrahams family as well as the mission of The Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies. The foundation was founded in 1994 to provide information about diet therapies for people with epilepsy, other neurological disorders, and select cancers and has since expanded its focus to not only champion ketogenic diet therapy for epilepsy, but provide up-to-date information regarding its expanded use and variations.

Sports Physician and food and fitness skeptic Dr. Anthony Gustin is our guest today for Episode 1229 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Growing up in the midwest, Dr. Anthony Gustin from DrAnthonyGustin.com assumed that it was normal to be sick often, overweight, ridden with acne, have insidious joint pains, and generally be unhealthy. When he started to learn more about science, he was enamored with the thought of modifying diet and exercise to get results that he had been chasing since he could remember. Dr. Gustin became obsessed with modifying the way he looked and felt with diet and lifestyle as much as possible.

Listen in today as Jimmy and Dr. Gustin talk about how he has turned a skeptic's eye to nutrition and transitioned from Paleo to a ketogenic lifestyle. Find out what Dr. Gustin has to say about the importance of testing, the benefits of fasting, mistakes people make with keto and more.

Ironman Triathlete, ultra-marathoner, author and entrepreneur Daniel Schulof is our guest today for Episode 1226 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Recent research suggests that obesity is deadlier for a dog than a lifetime of smoking is for a human being. And yet, incredibly, more than half of the dogs in America today are overweight. We love our dogs as never before in history, but we're still allowing millions of them to die every year from this completely preventable disease. Daniel Schulof from TheOptimalDog.com documents this epidemic among our beloved pets in his memoir-style book Dogs, Dog Food, and Dogma: The Silent Epidemic Killing America's Dogs and the New Science That Could Save Your Best Friend's Life.

Listen in today as Jimmy and Daniel talk about this serious health crisis affecting our animal companions, and what we as pet owners can do about it.  Daniel dissects the published scientific literature on canine obesity and explains why so much of what the veterinary community thinks it knows about the topic has in fact been manipulated by the pet food industry and cast into doubt through fascinating new scientific research.

Author, Educator, and Nutritional Therapist Gray Graham is our guest today for Episode 1225 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Although all wellness-minded doctors appreciate the importance of proper diet and nutritional supplementation, it is often very difficult for them to do the proper evaluation and dietary counseling necessary to support optimal healing. Gray L. Graham from NutritionalTherapy.com joins me today to discuss the necessity for medical practitioners to expand their knowledge of traditional healing practices using real food.

Listen in as Jimmy and Gray discuss the important work that the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA) is doing to give healthcare professionals the tools to reconnect people to healing foods and vibrant health, as well as his book Pottenger's Prophecy: How Food Resets Genes for Wellness or Illness. NTA’s Nutritional Therapists address nutrition from a holistic perspective and are trained to work alongside these practitioners either in their offices or in private practice to support the doctors’ diagnosis and other therapies. The NTA training offers a clear alternative to the grain-based, low-fat nightmare that is the official diet of modern America.
