The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore

Clinical Nutritionist and Paleo autoimmune protocol specialist Jessica Flanigan is our interview guest today in Episode 1046 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

The Paleo diet has been riding a strong wave of support over the past few years as people have been embracing the basic principles of eating real food to nourish and heal their bodies. But as potent as the Paleo nutritional template is for delivering amazing success for many people suffering from a wide variety of chronic diseases, a Clinical Nutritionist and Paleo autoimmune protocol specialist named Jessica Flanigan from AIPLifestyle.com believes there is a major missing element--LOVE! Jessica has 17 years of experience helping her clients dealing with autoimmune disease and she views having an illness as an opportunity to make a change for the better that ultimately produces healing. She's outlined her basic philosophy on this in her brand new book The Loving Diet: Going Beyond Paleo into the Heart of What Ails You which is a two-part program for implementing an autoimmune protocol (AIP) Paleo program with a healthy dose of forgiveness, gratitude, and trust as part of mind-body healing therapy. Listen in as Jimmy and Jessica discuss why reframing the way disease is viewed in the lives of those dealing with it is critical to transforming their quality of life that leads to genuine happiness. It's a uniquely innovative approach to dealing effectively with any disease.

Health coach and functional medicine educator and mentor Tracy Harrison is our interview guest today in Episode 1045 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

As the state of healthcare continues to be a challenge for the medical profession, many patients are turning to health coaches who can help them sort through their challenges and get well again. For a Massachusetts-based health coach named Tracy Harrison from EatOnPurpose.com, she realized the need for quality education for these health coaches was essential to seeing them succeed in helping their clients. That's why she created her Wildly Successful Health Coaches program to teach functional medicine principles to health coaches in order for them to attain their Certification in Applied Functional Medicine for Coaches. Tracy and her team has worked with clients and coaches alike to help them discover, understand, and unwind the actual root causes of imbalance and dysfunction in their unique bodies. She works with health coaches as well as many in the medical profession such as nurses, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and even physicians.

Listen in as Jimmy and Tracy talk about what a health coach does, why functional medicine is the perfect adjunct to health coaching, the program she developed to teach health coaches about functional medicine practices, how the dissatisfaction patients and medical professionals are having with the mainstream healthcare system is driving them to look for alternatives, the satisfaction that comes from helping people get healthier, how Tracy obtained three degrees from MIT to demonstrate her love for researching the science, and a Free Mini Clinical Course on Conquering Constipation to sample the kind of teaching they do. This very well could be the wave of the future when it comes to managing health if the current healthcare system continues to fall short of meeting the needs of the patients it is supposed to be serving. It's another fabulous conversation about a critical topic we are happy to share with you today!

Emergency medicine physician, personal trainer, and author Dr. Doug McGuff is our interview guest today in Episode 1044 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

The American healthcare system has long been viewed as the most advanced and best in the entire world. However, with the passage of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) in 2010, it set into motion some concerning issues that have made a profound impact on insurance companies, doctors, and patients alike. For a South Carolina-based emergency medicine physician named Dr. Doug McGuff (who was last on the podcast way back in March 2009 in Episode 239), he has seen the handwriting on the wall for a while and was asked by primal living advocate Mark Sisson to write a book about this. Teaming up with a world-renowned economist named Robert P. Murphy, PhD, Dr. McGuff has released a controversial book on the state of the history and current state of the healthcare system entitled The Primal Prescription: Surviving The "Sick Care" Sinkhole. If you are concerned about the direction healthcare has taken in the United States, then this is one interview you will not want to miss!

Public school teacher and real food advocate Ann Buttimer is our interview guest featured in Episode 1043 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

With the increased prevalence of farmer's markets these past few years as health-conscious consumers are turning back to real food again, it can be challenging to feed your family in the familiar convenient packaging that you've been used to. This becomes especially difficult for families with babies that tend to rely on jars of baby food to fulfill the nourishment of these little ones. But for a public school teacher and real food advocate named Ann Buttimer (you may recall hearing her husband Brendan back in Episode 1007), she's using her educational background to help teach moms how to creatively make baby food from the food at the farmer's market. Jimmy captured her demonstration on his Periscope channel recently while at his local Hub City Farmer's Farmer's Market in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

South River, New Jersey-based family physician and author Dr. Linda Girgis is our interview guest featured in Episode 1041 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

We all know that the healthcare system in America has become broken and is in shambles. Now more than ever before, doctors are being pressured into seeing an ever-increasing patient load in less and less time while the patients themselves are getting caught in the crosshairs of the mayhem of the system that is driven by controlling costs while neglecting genuine care for the sick. This is something that a South River, New Jersey-based family physician named Dr. Linda Girgis has become greatly concerned about in recent years and now she has written a new book about this in what she describes as The War on Doctors: And the Destruction of US Healthcare.

Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Girgis discuss her passion for her patients and how the system has let them down, why physicians are under attack because of the mandates being placed on them by government regulations, how the healthcare system is broken and what can be done to fix it for both physicians and patients, why patients with chronic and rare diseases are getting inadequate care because of cost controls, how the pharmaceutical industry is running roughshod in the medical community because of a lack of oversight or transparency, and so much more! If you're frustrated by the state of modern medicine, then this is one conversation you don't want to miss out on.

Registered nurse and functional medicine practitioner Amelia Luker is our interview guest featured in Episode 1040 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Two of the emerging areas of research and clinical knowledge to emerge in the world of health over the past few years has been proper hormone balance and optimized gut health through advanced lab testing that most conventional medical doctors just simply aren't running on their patients. Balancing hormone levels for optimal human function and rehabbing the GI microbiome are two critical areas of interest that are being used by the most cutting-edge medical practitioners now. One such example of this is today's podcast interview guest--registered nurse Amelia Luker from NourishBalanceThrive.com (you may remember Christopher Kelly from there was helping Jimmy with blood tests earlier this year).

Amelia struggled eating what she thought was a healthy low-fat, high-carb diet for many years before switching over to a more low-carb plan to improve her health. But it wasn't until she discovered saliva hormone testing where she found out she had low cortisol and a gut infection that her health truly improved--and now she's helping others in their own pursuit of optimal health as a functional medicine practitioner. Listen in as Jimmy and Amelia have an engaging conversation on her journey into functional medicine, why she made the switch from a hospital setting to what she does now, the negative effects of a poor diet, the role of stress in chronic diseases, how fixing hormonal problems is challenging with so many moving parts, and her controversial position on why raw potato starch (the so-called resistant starch that has become popular in the Paleo community in recent years) might actually make gut health worse not better. This is a fabulous interview you won't want to miss!

Pruvit CEO and KETO//OS ketone ester supplier Brian Underwood is our interview guest featured in Episode 1039 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

The technology behind ketone esters has been in development for several years and now it's available to the general public looking to boost their ketone production. The difficulty with these beta-hydroxybutyrate salts is the fact that they are completely disgusting by themselves. That's the challenge that faced Pruvit CEO Brian Underwood when he and his team were developing the KETO//OS ketone ester formulation. But they got one that is palatable and even tasty to give a boost to blood ketone levels. Listen in as Jimmy and Brian discuss what exogenous ketones are, their primary purpose, an on-air demonstration of how KETO//OS impacts Jimmy's blood sugar and blood ketone levels, and more. If you've been curious about these new ketone supplements, then listen in to the industry leader in this category.

Toronto, Ontario-based nephrologist and clinical fasting expert Dr. Jason Fung is our interview guest featured in Episode 1038 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

One of the hottest new social media outlets to come along in 2015 is this brand new live video and interactive chat format known as Periscope. Have you tried it yet? It's an app you can download to your smartphone or device that enables people to see someone sharing video content in real time and to speak with the people who are watching and chatting during the broadcast. This is a great way to interact and engage with your favorite people online, including our very own host Jimmy Moore who is quite prolific at Scoping on a daily basis and hosts his past episodes at JimmyScopes.com. One of the fun things Jimmy has done with Periscope is utilizing his love, experience, and passion for interviewing people. It's now given him a new outlet for creating content, some of which is now showing up on this podcast--including all the podcasts you will hear this week!

In this special Periscope interview Jimmy conducted last month, we welcome back to the show again a Toronto, Ontario-based nephrologist and clinical fasting expert named Dr. Jason Fung from IntensiveDietaryManagement.com who will be collaborating with Jimmy on a brand new book coming in November 2016 called Fasting Clarity (that's the big "secret project" I alluded to in today's episode). You may recall Jimmy aired another Periscope interview with Dr. Fung about fasting back in Episode 1017 and there was such a huge response from that podcast that Jimmy decided to do a follow-up interview with him in person while he was in the Toronto, Ontario Canada area on his book tour in October. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Fung take questions from his Periscope followers about the ins and outs of fasting. Before you gobble down that Thanksgiving turkey and all the rest of the food on Thursday, learn a little more about the benefits of fasting.
