Sugar has become public health enemy #1 over the past few years as people are discovering the tremendous damage it is inflicting on their weight and health. But the deeply addictive properties of sugar make it extremely difficult to give up so that the healing from years of hyperglycemia and huge insulin spikes leading to insulin resistance can commence. Perhaps what you need is motivation, encouragement, and support to help you go sugar-free at last. That's precisely what South African anti-sugar troubadour and recovering addict Karen Thomson and Scottish ketogenic nutritional health expert Emily Maguire (you might remember these two amazing ladies were on the podcast together earlier this year in Episode 930 discussing the LCHF Conference that took place in South Africa) are doing during the month of September in what they are dubbing The Sugar Free September Challenge. It's FREE to anyone around the world and will being on September 1, 2015. CLICK HERE to sign up and get a free support e-book that was written and organized by Emily to help get you started.

Attorney-at-law and low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet advocate Tony Martinez is our guest today in Episode 997 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

If the low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic message is ever going to break through into the mainstream in a big way, it very well may take some major paradigm shifts in public policy and law. That's the passionate desire of an attorney named Tony Martinez whose life was changed after working as a legal consultant with the late, great Dr. Robert C. Atkins and appearing on his popular radio show in the 1990's. After suffering a heart attack and being diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic, Tony knew he needed to get serious about his health by embracing the ketogenic lifestyle in earnest. His A1c has dropped from 7 to 5.5 and his cardiologist said his heart health has completely turned around. Listen in as Jimmy and Tony talk about how low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) can make inroads into the public policy and legal realm.

For sports psychologist and skeletal muscle physiologist Dr. Jacob Wilson, PhD, professor and director of the strength & sports nutrition laboratory in the Department of Health Sciences and Human Performance at the University of Tampa, educating the masses on the proper way to get into a state of nutritional ketosis is critical. One such educational piece he wrote all about keto that was published on the popular BodyBuilding.com website entitled Ketogenic Dieting: Frequently Asked Questions spawned such great interest that Dr. Wilson created this Keto FAQ video to complement it.

Holistic pharmacist Dr. Brian Sanderoff is our guest today in Episode 994 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

It can be incredibly difficult for the average, everyday person to completely grasp even the most basic health concepts leaving them completely reliant on the so-called experts to explain and educate them. Unfortunately, much of the most relevant information is being all but ignored leaving the layperson completely in the dark on topics like insulin, the negative health effects of grains, and lifestyle solutions to disease. That's why a Hunt Valley, Maryland-based holistic pharmacist named Dr. Brian Sanderoff from WellBeingGPS.com decided to start making YouTube videos to bring his quarter century of clinical medicine knowledge and experience whittling down these healthy living topics in terms that anyone can understand and apply to their lives. He's also the weekly host of Well Being Radio on The Patriot 960 AM KKNT in Phoenix, Arizona. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Sanderoff have an enlightening conversation!

Television producer and author Jared Stone is our guest today in Episode 992 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

As more and more people begin to become aware of the food they are eating, they are becoming reconnected with exactly what they are putting in their mouth. For an award-winning television producer named Jared Stone, who won an Emmy in 2013 for his work on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he forced himself to come face-to-face with this question by committing to buying a whole cow directly from a local rancher and feeding himself and his family on it. Along the way of this wild experiment, Jared got back in touch with what real food is again and rekindled a deep love and passion for everything he is eating. He chronicled the entire experience in a fascinating new book entitled Year of the Cow: How 420 Pounds of Beef Built a Better Life for One American Family. Listen in as Jimmy and Jared talk about the benefits of consuming grass-fed beef he discovered during this experiment.

Movement and pain specialist and nutrition-minded chiropractor Dr. Scott Mills is our guest today in Episode 991 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Everyone seems to have those nagging aches and pains in their body at some point in their lives. Most of the time it's somewhere in the back area which is why chiropractic care seems to be as popular as it has ever been. For a San Francisco, California-based one named Dr. Scott Mills (aka the soon-to-be Mr. Diane Sanfilippo of Balanced Bites and Practical Paleo fame), it's his passionate goal to help empower others with the knowledge and tools they need to create an optimal, pain-free life. With a Master's degree in Exercise Science as well as working as a collegiate Certified Athletic Trainer for 6 years prior to his chiropractic career, Dr. Mills has garnered tons of invaluable experience to help his patients get better.

In 2015, he decided he wanted to reach more people than his patients with this message. So he started The 2-Minute Fix with Dr. Scott Mills YouTube videos for quick demonstrations on improving flexibility, minimizing pain, and getting the body to become mobile again. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Mills have a fun chat about healthy living!

Board-certified obesity medicine doctor and low-carb nutrition physician Dr. Sarah Hallberg is our guest today in Episode 990 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

As the progression of the low-carb, high-fat message continues to make waves amongst patients who are seeing dramatic changes in their weight and health, it makes you wonder how so many physicians and other medical professionals can continue to ignore this. From weight loss to diabetes and cardiovascular risk markers all improving on a well-formulated ketogenic diet, it seems any primary care doctor would want to welcome in another invaluable tool to their arsenal of providing the very best care for the people who come to see them. That's exactly what happened for a physician in Lafayette, Indiana named Dr. Sarah Hallberg who took it upon herself to get educated on how carbohydrate restriction could help her see the desired results in her patients. The phenomenal results she began seeing was proof positive this was the right direction for her to shift her practice from being a primary care physician to become the medical director and founder of the Indiana University-Arnett Health Medical Weight Loss Program where our host Jimmy Moore spoke to Dr. Hallberg's patients in 2014. Dr. Hallberg is very effective at communicating through her popular teaching videos she posts at her "Fitter U" website which caught the attention of the TEDx people who asked her to speak at their 2015 TEDx PurdueU event (watch Dr. Hallberg's incredible presentation on reversing Type 2 diabetes below).
