It's sad but true that women are often an underserved and even forgotten part of our everyday lives.

Licensed practicing board certified family and bariatric medicine physician and author Dr. Spencer Nadolsky is our interview guest today in Episode 1077 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

So many people are taking prescription medications these days under the direction of their primary care physician assuming that their family doctor has vetted out all the potential ramifications of those drugs. But sometimes the patient isn't told about the side effects that certain medications are having on their weight leading to frustration when the scale refuses to budge. This is something that an Olney, Maryland-based licensed practicing board certified family and bariatric medicine physician named Dr. Spencer Nadolsky from DrSpencer.com (listen to Jimmy's previous interview with him in Episode 880) has seen so many times in his own patient population that he decided to write a book detailing this and other fat loss obstacles. It's called The Fat Loss Prescription: The Nine-Step Plan to Losing Weight and Keeping It Off and provides excellent clinical advice from an obesity doc who cares about using evidence-based approaches to shedding pounds. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Spencer dive into this topic and more!

Australian chiropractor, wellness expert, Paleo podcaster, and author Dr. Brett Hill is our interview guest today in Episode 1075 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

It's the dream of every parent--your kids not only eating a more healthy diet, but also choosing to eat that way of their own accord. Can you imagine giving your child free reign to roam about the grocery store or farmer's market and let them choose whatever they wanted only to find them making mostly outstanding choices? And most importantly, when you're not around to watch them choose the food they eat...they choose real food over crappy carbage. Is this just a dream? For an Adelaide, Australia-based chiropractor, wellness expert, Paleo podcaster, and author named Dr. Brett Hill (and a father of young children) from DrBrettHill.com, he says this scenario is an easy-to-envision reality. Dr. Hill is the cohost of two of the hottest iTunes health podcasts in the land of Oz called "That Paleo Show" and "The Wellness Guys Show" where he often talks about how parents can craft language that makes kids excited about choosing to eat well. He's penned a fantastic Kindle e-book about this very topic entitled Nourish Without Nagging: How to get your kids to LOVE eating healthily. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Hill have a practical and fun conversation talking all about kids and nutrition.

London-based health and fitness expert and Director of the Public Health Collaboration Sam Feltham is our special Periscope interview guest today in Episode 1073 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Frustration is building

The Public Health Collaboration will be a charity focused on supporting research and investigating pressing public health issues concerning the UK. On a quarterly basis we will publicly publish reports on these issues alongside coordinated campaigns for change.

Why?

In the UK 25% of adults are obese, the highest prevalence in Europe, and type 2 diabetes has risen by 65% in the past 10 years with no sign of slowing down, both cost the NHS £16 billion a year. The PHC will illuminate the solutions to turn it all around.
How?

Through INDIEGOGO we need to initially raise £5,000 to help set us up as a charity, fund our team to write our first report to be published in April, as well as support our ambitious research and campaign plans to empower the public and medical community.

Jimmy recently interviewed Sam via Skype on his Periscope channel to talk about this exciting new educational project and crowdsourcing campaign (watch the full JimmyScopes episodes of this interview below):

Fat-loss specialist, #1 iTunes health podcaster, New York Times bestselling author, and weight loss reality television show trainer Abel James is our interview guests today in Episode 1073 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

We've longed to have something big happen in our culture where the real food, low-carb, high-fat message gets out there in a major way--and it has FINALLY happened in 2016. Perhaps you were able to watch the 8-episode ABC weight loss reality television show called My Diet Is Better Than Yours the past couple of months where popular fitness and nutritional health leaders were teamed up with everyday Americans who needed to lose weight and improve their health. The show was hosted by noted celebrity trainer Shaun T and featured plans such as a food swap program, a juicing regimen, and...an explicitly low-carb, high-fat diet from one of the most recognized names from the Paleo community. His name is Abel James from FatBurningMan.com and the host of the #1 iTunes Fitness & Nutrition podcast The Fat Burning Man Show. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling book called The Wild Diet: Get Back to Your Roots, Burn Fat, and Drop Up to 20 Pounds in 40 Days (listen to Jimmy's interview with Abel about this book in Episode 939) and was able to see great success with his contestant Kurt on the show.

Listen in as Jimmy and Abel talk about this experience, how his contestant Kurt faced some seemingly insurmountable odds to become one of the major contenders on the show, the stunning results he saw in just 14 weeks eating low-carb, high-fat, how eating real foods (especially fat!) helped Kurt tremendously, the flawed format of the show based on weight loss rathe than fat loss, the lack of significant exercise Kurt was able to do while on the show, why strength training is far superior to cardio when burning fat, and more. Whether you were a fan of the show already or if you're just learning about this for the first time (watch the series on Hulu or other on-demand television streaming services), enjoy this behind-the-scenes glimpse into how low-carb, high-fat got a major push in America in 2016!

Jimmy recently interviewed Abel via Skype on his Periscope channel to talk about the behind-the-scenes of what happened on the show (watch the full JimmyScopes episodes of this interview below):

Health enthusiast and software developer Dave Korsunsky and a special appearance by chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Justin Marchegiani are our interview guests today in Episode 1072 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

With the all the advancements in software and app technology now that computers and smartphones have become so pervasive into our daily lives, it's now become possible for patients to begin tracking their own health markers at home to see their progress over time. For a ketogenic health enthusiast and software developer named Dave Korsunsky, he understood this desperate need and sought to fulfill it with a project that is now available for FREE to anyone who wants to try it at HeadsUpHealth.com (an app is under development set to release in a few months). Jimmy recently interviewed Dave in person on his Periscope channel when Dave was in South Carolina for business and it was a great conversation looking at this technology up close and personal:

After the Periscope interview with Dave, we head back into the recording studio where Jimmy and Dave were joined by chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Justin Marchegiani from JustinHealth.com to examine the clinical application of this new technology along with the key health markers ketogenic dieters should be tracking on their own personal health journeys.

Former endurance and Ironman athlete, health blogger, and bestselling author Mark Sisson is our interview guest today in Episode 1071 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

On yesterday's episode of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show," Jimmy interviewed a man named Peter Defty who is a triathlete coaching ultra-marathon and endurance sports athletes to tap into their body's natural ability to burn fat for fuel. On today's show, we keep that conversation going with a great friend of the show, former endurance and Ironman athlete, health blogger, and bestselling author named Mark Sisson from MarksDailyApple.com who knows a thing or two about endurance athletics having competed at a very elite level over three decades ago in distance running, triathlons, and Ironman competitions. When his health began to take a nosedive as a result of his performance-driven dietary choices, Mark began investigating better ways to fuel his body and realized that carbohydrates were the problem not the answer. Now he realizes the mistakes he has made and is passing along this newfound wisdom to the athletes he is helping to compete at a high level with less training, less carbs, and quicker recovery. Mark has outlined it all in his compelling new book that is a must-read for anyone interested in the physiology of how the body moves entitled Primal Endurance: Escape chronic cardio and carbohydrate dependency and become a fat burning beast. Listen in as Jimmy and Mark dive head first into this critically important, cutting-edge topic!

Triathlete and fat-adapted ultra-endurance sports athletics coach Peter Defty is our interview guest today in Episode 1070 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

One of the surprising benefits to a ketogenic diet for a lot of people to discover is how some of the most elite endurance athletes in the world are now using this fat-adapted regimen to give them much more sustainable energy throughout their race. What this means is these athletes are actually eating a lot less of the very thing they were always told was the critical nutritional element in the performance success of their sport--carbohydrates! But for a triathlete and fat-adapted ultra-endurance sports athletics coach named Peter Defty from VESPAPower.com, he's long realized the idea of "carbing-up" before a race is based on decades-old flawed science. That's why he is taking the science of people like ketogenic research legend Dr. Stephen Phinney and training some of the best endurance athletes in the world to record-breaking performances, including Zach Bitter who we interviewed on this podcast back in Episode 944.

Listen in as Jimmy and Peter talk about this awakening of fat-adaptation amongst athletes, the scientists who paved the way for this to be talked about now, the amazing brain health benefits of burning ketones as fuel, Peter's personal journey to fat adaptation, the athletes he's working with to teach them these principles, the actual science being used to promote this, and so much more! If you want to know about the role of ketosis in exercise performance, then this is the podcast for YOU!
