Investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author Nina Teicholz is our interview guest featured today in Episode 1200 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Behind-the-scenes, so much is happening to help progress the science supporting a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet. One of the leading voices helping bring this about is investigative journalist Nina Teicholz, New York Times bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, who came under fire in 2015 for her British Medical Journal article "The scientific report guiding the US dietary guidelines: is it scientific?" This brought on a media firestorm with public pressure being applied to the BMJ to retract Nina's column. A bright light of hope happened recently when the BMJ stood behind Teicholz' original article. Listen in as Jimmy and Nina catch up on what's been happening in the world of LCHF, including the exciting BMJ news, what's happening to low-carb doctors facing fire around the world, Nina's direct role in supporting Professor Tim Noakes in South Africa, her work at Nutrition Coalition to affect change in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, and more! Tune in to hear these two have an engaging conversation about the latest going on with low-carb.

Ketogenic nutritionist and international bestselling low-carb, high-fat cookbook author Maria Emmerich is our interview guest featured today in Episode 1199 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Do you think most of those so-called detox programs designed to "cleanse" the body are just a bunch of balderdash? From liver cleanses to juice cocktails loaded with sugar, these scams are literally everywhere and people are falling for them hook, line, and sinker. That's one of the motivations that a ketogenic nutritionist and international bestselling low-carb, high-fat cookbook author named Maria Emmerich from MariaMindBodyHealth.com had for writing her latest book The 30-Day Ketogenic Cleanse: Reset Your Metabolism with 160 Tasty Whole-Food Recipes & Meal Plans. You'll recall Maria collaborated with our host Jimmy Moore on the international bestselling 2015 book The Ketogenic Cookbook: Nutritious Low-Carb, High-Fat Paleo Meals to Heal Your Body (listen to Episode 986 for more on that book) and she's been off to the races pumping the books out with Victory Belt Publishing ever since!

Listen in as Jimmy and Maria catch up with each other on what's been happening over the past year, the distortion that so many people have about what a cleanse or detox program is really all about, how a ketogenic diet is cleansing enough to heal the metabolic damage from inflammation and high insulin levels, why there aren't that many sweet recipes in her latest book, the familiar look and feel of this book that hearkens back to her collaboration with Jimmy on The Ketogenic Cookbook, and so much more. It's never a dull conversations when these two keto experts sit down for a chat about nutrition and life. ENJOY!

Nutritional science researcher and fatty acid expert Dr. Alvin Berger is our interview guest featured today in Episode 1198 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

With all the proliferation of information about the positive role fats play in our diet (especially in the context of a reduced-carbohydrate intake), it can sometimes get overwhelming trying to figure out what fats to consume and how much. As so many of you know, all fats are not created equal and some are better than others at giving you the benefits you are looking for. This is something a PhD in Lipid and Nutritional Biochemistry who also has some post-doctoral experience in lipid signaling molecular biology named Dr. Alvin Berger is abundantly aware of. He's been researching this subject for the past three decades and has seen his fair share of games being played to bamboozle an unsuspecting general public, including with the much-beloved ketogenic fat so many of us use known as MCT oil. This is why he created a company that makes what is arguably the best quality MCT oil on the market today called KetoMCT. As you will quickly hear when you listen to him today, Dr. Berger has a keen ability to analyze research data to generate clear, concise reports and presentations for lay, business, and scientific audiences and he has been a featured published expert on signaling and nutritional aspects of lipids, with a broad knowledge of whole body metabolism and current trends in nutrition research and product development. You're gonna love this interview if you have any interest in MCT oil at all.

Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Berger discuss his unique background in this field, how his wife Anna brings specific insights to this topic as well, Dr. Berger's shift in thinking away from the low-fat conventional wisdom to high-fat, how the high-fat diet has helped them with their Type 1 diabetic son, why they started the KetoMCT company, their featured story in Nutraingredients, and where he sees the high-fat market heading in the months and years to come. Dr. Berger is a bona fide expert on something that is near and dear to so many of us--FAT! Soak in his wisdom in today's episode.

Assistant professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, psychiatrist and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Anna Lembke is our interview guest featured today in Episode 1197 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Opioid addiction has become a very serious problem in the United States alone as a whopping 16,000 people die annually from overdosing on painkillers such as morphine, methadone, Buprenorphine, hydrocodone, and oxycodone using the name brands OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, Percodan, Tylox and Demerol. And 75% of people who are addicted to heroin got their start on one of these seemingly innocuous pain medications they were prescribed by their well-meaning doctor attempting to help them recover from an injury or surgery. This is something an assistant professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, psychiatrist and addiction medicine specialist named Dr. Anna Lembke has seen so often as a pattern in her own patients dealing with opioid addiction that she wanted to sound the alarm on this growing epidemic in an alarming new book that is rocking the medical community called Drug Dealer, MD: How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It’s So Hard to Stop.

Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Lembke discuss all the statistics regarding opioid prescription prevalence and the correlation with the increased drug addiction, why most doctors who get their patients addicted don't know what to do about it, the lack of help from insurance companies to pay for recovery, the millions who have to cope with this out of no fault of their own, the misguided cultural paradigm that demands a pill solution to every health problem, the role of the pharmaceutical companies in this epidemic, the problems in the Affordable Care Act that give precedence to pills, procedures, and patient satisfaction over wellness, and the broken healthcare system that needs to be completely overhauled and fixed in order to resolve this problem that isn't going away anytime soon. This is one of the most explosive interviews on a hot topic we've had in a while. Please share it with anyone taking prescription pain medications or dealing with opioid drug addiction.

Nutritional therapist specialising in cancer through the use of the low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet Patricia Daly and Irish food writer, restauranteur, and ketogenic cancer survivor Domini Kemp is our interview guest featured today in Episode 1196 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

A cancer diagnosis can be very scary for anyone to deal with and unfortunately it afflicts people of all ages in a wide variety of ways from the benign to terminal. If there's a way to ready yourself for something like this by instituting a solid nutritional and lifestyle plan for success, then most people would want to know about it. That's exactly why a nutritional therapist specialising in cancer through the use of the low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet named Patricia Daly teamed up with an Irish food writer, restauranteur, and ketogenic cancer survivor named Domini Kemp to write a book offering hope to people with cancer entitled The Ketogenic Kitchen: Low carb. High fat. Extraordinary health. Both Patricia and Domini have had their own cancer scare and share their challenges and triumphs on this journey that led them to the ketogenic diet for help and support. Follow their work at TheKetogenicKitchen.com. Listen in as Jimmy, Patricia, and Domini discuss their amazing stories and how they are now helping others who want to try keto therapy for treatment or prevention of this terrible disease.

Functional Medicine practitioner, clinical nutritionist, and hormone specialist Dr. Will Cole is our interview guest featured today in Episode 1195 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

With all we've learned about hormones, gut health, and more in recent years, it still seems there is a disconnect with the general public who don't fully grasp what all of this means to them in their pursuit of optimal health. This lack of understanding is what drives a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based Functional Medicine practitioner, clinical nutritionist, and hormone specialist named Dr. Will Cole from DrWillCole.com (listen to his previous appearance on the podcast in Episode 979) to provide further education to patients so they can make informed decisions. To that end, he has created a new series of Functional Medicine Video Courses that are available online and you can use jimmy15 at checkout for 15% off the introductory price.

Listen in as Jimmy and Will discuss Will's recent 8-week smartphone detox, his increased interest and knowledge in the role of the microbiome on health, his thoughts on the impact of a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet on gut health, the work he is doing locally in person and internationally on Skype with patients seeking to balance their hormones, his new functional medicine video courses, and more! Dr. Will Cole is one of the premier functional medicine practitioners out there today and it's always a pleasure to glean from his experience.

Author, professional speaker, and food and nutrition entrepreneur Jeff Scot Phillips is our interview guest featured today in Episode 1194 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Most of us in the low-carb, Paleo, ketogenic, and real food communities are already abundantly aware that the food industry plays games with consumers in their marketing and manipulation of the nutritional information regarding their products. Don't you wish somebody would call out these tactics and share with the rest of the world exactly what they are doing? Well, that's exactly what a food industry insider named Jeff Scot Philips from BigFatFoodFraud.com has done in his revealing new book on this subject entitled Big Fat Food Fraud: Confessions of a Health-Food Hustler. Jeff is a nutritionist and professional speaker who has worked in the food industry since his early twenties starting out in the healthy food delivery business as well as a food manufacturing business private labeling meals for other companies. He's seen it all interacting directly with the seedy underbelly of the food industry over the years and is here today to share some insightful wisdom about how they get away with it all.

Listen in as Jeff and Jimmy discuss the concept of "edutising" where food companies disguise their marketing as education and why you should never believe it, why so many of the trends (like gluten-free) are just a scam to sell you the same products at a higher price, the manipulation of the nutritional labels and ingredients to blind consumers from what's in the product, how the USDA and FDA makes it easy on food companies to get away with fooling people, how Google and something called Infusionsoft is utilized by food companies to point people to eat what they want you to eat, why the new 2018 food labels coming from the FDA will be much worse than they are now, and so much more! This is one interview guest you DEFINITELY don't want to miss hearing from. You'll be shocked by what you learn today.

Voiceover talent, stand-up comedian, actress, food blogger, health podcaster, and cookbook author Anna Vocino is our interview guest featured today in Episode 1193 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Some of the best people who come into and have a lasting impact on the health community are people who had absolutely no intentions of ever learning and talking about nutrition and healthy living at all. That's exactly what happened to Anna Vocino, a successful voiceover talent and stand up comedian, who was living her charmed life until the fateful diagnosis of Celiac disease caused her to put every ounce of energy into dealing with this for the sake of her future. After dibble-dabbling in gluten-free for a while and not quite seeing the results she wanted in her pursuit of optimal health, Anna dove into low-carb and hasn't looked back. You may know her as the cohost of the top-rated iTunes health podcast Fitness Confidential with Vinnie Tortorich, but she is here today to celebrate the release of her brand new low-carb, grain-free cookbook entitled Eat Happy: Gluten Free, Grain Free, Low Carb Recipes For A Joyful Life.

Listen in as Jimmy and Anna have a sometimes silly, mostly in-depth conversation all about the ins and outs of health podcasting, real food, autoimmune disease, cleaning up your pantry, emotional eating, when low-carb doesn't work right away, preparing your food to be successful, and a whole lot more. It helps Jimmy and Anna are friends which makes for a funny, entertaining podcast for you to enjoy today!

Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and bestseller author Mickey Prescott and Certified Health Coach and Nutritional Therapy Consultant Angie Alt are our interview guests featured in Episode 1192 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

After sharing some truly incredible lectures from the Metabolic Therapeutics Conference that took place earlier this year over the past month, we return to our regular interview format again today featuring a fabulous conversation with two amazing autoimmune disease experts.

This is something that Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and bestseller author Mickey Prescott and Certified Health Coach and Nutritional Therapy Consultant Angie Alt from the "Autoimmune Paleo" blog know all too well. Mickey wrote a book on this subject in 2014 entitled The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook: An Allergen-Free Approach to Managing Chronic Illness and now she returns in 2016 with Angie to collaborate on The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook: A DIY Guide to Living Well with Chronic Illness as a step-by-step guide to surviving autoimmune disease with an ancestral-based dietary and lifestyle change.

The 1st Annual Conference on Nutritional Ketosis and Metabolic Therapeutics took place earlier this year in Tampa, Florida featuring the best of the best cutting-edge researchers and practitioners from around the world engaging in the science and application of low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets for use in optimizing wellness, exercise performance, resilience, and more. These are exciting times and we are on the cusp of seeing some phenomenal breakthroughs coming in the next few years.

Listen in as you will hear various lectures from that conference on "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show" podcast through early December to give you a taste of what is happening and what's to come.
