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

Neck pain specialist, health explorer, and real food advocate Dr. Jerry Kennedy is our special guest host in Episode 794 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

We've got a spectacular guest host in store for you today in Dr. Jerry Kennedy, host of "The Dr. Jerry Kennedy Show" iTunes health podcast, who is committed to offering listeners an entertaining and educational spin on the world of health, diet and fitness. He is the creator of Neck Pain UnPlugged, a neck pain self-treatment program that is designed to help neck pain sufferers get long-term pain relief without expensive trips to the doctor and dangerous drugs. His mission is to help people get "UnPlugged," start thinking for themselves, and finally taking back control of their lives.

Listen in as Dr. Kennedy uses what he calls "edu-tainment" to discuss what it means to be "UnPlugged" and why everyone should do it, the four pillars of health and why they are all important, some fun stories about how he stumbled into the field of chiropractic, how and why he got stuck on the floor in a public bathroom, and how a folding mirrored door helped him discover that he was FAT!

The 3 major takeaways Dr. Kennedy wants you to remember are:
1. Always strive to improve
2. Be willing to put down good to pick up Great
3. Never be afraid of failure...just fail forward

Former research biochemist, fitness and nutrition blogger and podcaster, and New York Times bestselling author Robb Wolf is our guest today for this LLVLC Show Classic from our golden archives in Episode 792 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

Today's LLVLC Show Classic episode is with arguably the most famous name in the Paleo community. He is the great Robb Wolf and affectionately referred to as "baby Jesus." Robb has firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the health conversation over the past few years with the release of his New York Times bestselling book The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet and an extremely popular Top 5 iTunes Health podcast called "The Paleo Solution." He moved from Chico, California to Reno, Nevada to begin working with first responders there to help them get their health back in line to perform their duties to serve and protect in their community by shifting their diet to a low-carb Paleo way of life. But long before all of that happened, we had Robb Wolf on this podcast talking about his basic philosophy regarding nutrition, fitness, and health like only he can. Listen in as we share two incredible interviews with this highly influential and respected leader from the world of Paleo.

Teenage real food blogger and author Joshua Weissman is our special guest host in Episode 791 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

Today's special guest host has never done a podcast before. But we couldn't resist inviting an accomplished real-food advocate and food blogger who writes and photographs for the increasingly popular Paleo recipe blog called Slim Palate. His name is Joshua Weissman and at the age of 18 he has published his first book with Victory Belt Publishing entitled The Slim Palate Paleo Cookbook. But it wasn't all that long ago that Joshua began to struggle with weight problems and his health quickly began to decline. Even simple tasks such as walking up stairs grew difficult for him which led to being physically and verbally harassed at school--resulting in frequent bouts of depression. Needless to say, being the "fat kid" was no fun at all.

Wanting to change his life and his eating habits, Joshua started doing his own extensive research and discovered the power that comes from eating fresh, whole, natural foods to create elegant, palate-pleasing recipes that helped him lose over 100 pounds of weight without sacrificing flavor. Today, he is fit and happy while sharing his affinity for food and cooking with his blog readers who flock to check out his unforgettable recipes. He's become a rising star in the Paleo and real food communities for his love and appreciation for using real whole foods and grass-fed and pastured meats sourced locally. Joshua feels that food is a powerful expression of love and relationship that is enriched by knowing where your food comes from.

Listen in as Joshua shares his amazing weight loss success story firsthand, why he came up with his "Slim Palate" blog and brand new book, the disconnect that exists in our culture regarding real food, how we can help people become reconnected to their food again, and so much more. Joshua Weissman is wise beyond his years and has the ability to reach the younger generation with the power of the real food message. Enjoy this special presentation that is sure to be the first of many more from this young man in the coming years.

Holistic health coach and Paleo podcaster Evan Brand is our special guest host in Episode 790 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

Jimmy Moore is staying super-busy while he is away from the podcast right now writing the manuscript to his August 5, 2014 book
Keto Clarity: Your Definitive Guide to the Benefits of a Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet. It's currently with the editors at Victory Belt for a series of edits over the next couple of months. Plus, the audiobook version spoken by Jimmy himself of his bestselling 2013 book Cholesterol Clarity: What The HDL Is Wrong With My Numbers is completely finished and has been submitted to Audible. It is scheduled to be available for purchase within the next two weekand we'll let you know as soon as it is. We'd like to share a sample chapter with you on the podcast, so start thinking about which chapter you'd like for us to air. More details about this soon!

Today's guest host is a great fellow health podcaster in Evan Brand from "Not Just Paleo" and his Top 25 iTunes Fitness & Nutrition "Not Just Paleo" podcast. Evan has always looked at Paleo not as a diet or a set of rules, but rather a mindset that shifts us away from the unhealthy habits of our modern lives. And while changing your food is an important aspect, there are other lifestyle choices that are just as critical to becoming optimally healthy. Listen in as Evan shares his experience working in the woods, whether our lack of experiencing nature is leading to so much unhappiness, some simple steps for reconnecting to nature again, why we seem to stress ourselves out so much, how using essential oils can literally benefit anyone, why even a city slicker can experience a life-changing event simply by going on a camping trip, how you should be cautious with the self-professed know-it-all health gurus, and why you should regularly tune in to his "Not Just Paleo" podcast. Evan Brand is a name you will hear in the greater health community for many more years to come!

Low-carb, high-fat diet advocate and physician Dr. Ron Rosedale is our guest today for this LLVLC Show Classic from our golden archives in Episode 789 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

Today we have an unforgettable LLVLC Show Classic episode featuring a low-carb, high-fat physician named Dr. Ron Rosedale, author of The Rosedale Diet. Long before his infamous appearance on Jimmy's ‘Safe Starches’ Panel at the 2012 Ancestral Health Symposium (AHS12), Dr. Rosedale was speaking with Jimmy about about why he wanted to learn more about nutrition, how the low-carb diet concepts really aren’t new, the greater importance of leptin over insulin, why hunger happens, the role of calories on a low-carb diet, why he doesn’t read other diet and nutrition books, the maniacal nature of nutritional studies bending towards pharmaceutical solutions, the movement by the government to make vitamins more difficult to obtain, the cardiovascular risks of taking statin drugs, the diabetes drugs that are giving patients cancer, how he has been on the cutting-edge of moderating protein intake when all other low-carb supporters were talking about high-protein, why he calls for limiting saturated fat consumption in the first few weeks of beginning his plan, why cholesterol is so important inside the body, the correlation between low cholesterol and cancer, his views on limiting omega-6 fat sources to balance fatty acids and why it’s nearly impossible to reach optimal levels in modern society without completely eliminating omega-6 fatty acid sources, why eggs and nuts are nature’s perfect low-carb foods, the impossibility of knowing what the perfect fat/protein/carb ratio is ideal for someone, how what we eat isn’t that same thing as what our cells are consuming, and how to determine the ideal amount of protein to consume in your meals. This is one of our all-time favorite interviews and one worth listening to if you missed it the first time around. It's an LLVLC Show Classic episode you won't soon forget!

Australian Paleo health podcasters Crystal Fieldhouse, Jo Fitton, and Charby Ibrahim are our special guest co-hosts in Episode 788 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

When Jimmy was invited to come to Australia in November 2012 for the "Low Carb Down Under" speaking tour, he had the great privilege of meeting so many amazing people there. Two of those people were Crystal Fieldhouse from the "Eat Sleep Move" blog and Jo Fitton from the "Eating Well Out" blog and they dreamed at the time about starting their own Paleo, primal, real food-based podcast. Jimmy encouraged them to just do it and in 2014 that podcast is now a reality as "The Primal Shift: Primal Living in the Modern World" is rolling along on iTunes with Crystal, Jo, and Charby Ibrahim from "The Ancestral Body" blog at the helm. This incredible Aussie trio likes to focus on what they call "a collection of lifestyle shifts that form a well-rounded healthy existence."

What Crystal, Jo, and Charby attempt to do is help people more closely examine their current lifestyles to compare them with what our ancestors would have experienced--heck, even from the way our grandparents lived. Modern technology has put our lives on steroids and given us more stress than ever before. It's everything people can do just to keep our heads above water. Needless to say, this can take a toll on our health, our happiness, our relationships, energy levels, and our quality of life. While diet and exercise are what gets most of the attention in reclaiming our health, there are a few vital pieces of the puzzle. Listen in as "The Primal Shift" podcast gang offers up their 7 Key Primal Shifts (Eat, Detox, Sleep, Think, Move, Play and Relax) that are all equally important elements of the healthy living puzzle. It's an unforgettable podcast that could quite possibly change your life forever!

UK-based personal trainer, fat loss expert, and podcaster Sam Feltham guest hosts and interviews real food-based British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra in Episode 787 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

You probably remember today's guest host from his conversation with Jimmy last year in Episode 739 discussing his amazing 5,000-calorie self-experiments testing the flawed calorie hypothesis. His name is Sam Feltham from "Smash The Fat" and accompanying iTunes health podcast and he's here today presenting a sensational interview with a nutrition-minded cardiologist and writer named Dr. Aseem Malhotra who made headlines in October 2013 when he published a paper in the British Medical Journal entitled "Saturated Fat Is Not The Major Issue" that pulled the rug out from under the low-fat nutritional lie we have been fed for the past three decades. Listen in as Samand Dr. Malhotra discuss the paradigm shift happening with saturated fat, the failure of the obesity initiatives that have been proposed by mainstream health experts, and why his Action On Sugar coalition is needed to educate the public on the dangers of sugar on health. This is an insightful conversation you won't want to miss!

Physician and ketogenic diet advocate for epilepsy Dr. Deborah Snyder and low-carb, ketogenic diet researcher Dr. Eric Kossoff are our guests today for this LLVLC Show Classic from our golden archives in Episode 786 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

It's Wednesday again and you know what that means while Jimmy has been away writing his next book, Keto Clarity. We've enjoyed featuring these LLVLC Show Classic episodes from deep within our golden archives of hundreds of health-enriching conversations Jimmy has had with various people over the years. Today we have a special double-feature for you on the topic of ketogenic diets and epilepsy. The first interview features Dr. Deborah Snyder, author of Keto Kid: Helping Your Child Succeed on the Ketogenic Diet, whose son Bryce was cured of epilepsy after going on a two-year stint following a low-carb, ketogenic diet. Although ketosis has long been known as an effective therapy for controlling seizures, it's people like Dr. Snyder and the work of The Charlie Foundation who have helped to promote this cutting-edge, science-based treatment and the positive effects it is having on epileptic children.

Then in the second interview, we have a legendary epilepsy specialist and Johns Hopkins researcher named Dr. Eric Kossoff, author of Ketogenic Diets: Treatments For Epilepsy And Other Disorders. Do not miss this exciting chat that Jimmy had with Dr. Kossoff about his "modified Atkins diet" as a treatment for epilepsy. Listen in as they discuss other illnesses that could stand to benefit from a ketogenic diet, how to make a 5 grams of carbs daily diet work for a kid, and so much more!

Registered dietitian, blogger, and podcaster Laura Schoenfeld, MPH, RD is our special guest host interviewing Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, podcaster, and brand new author Liz Wolfe in Episode 785 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

What a fantastic guest host we have for you today in Laura Schoenfeld from the "Ancestralize Me" blog and "Ask The RD" iTunes podcast as well as the content manager and staff RD at ChrisKresser.com. Laura invited on the amazing Liz Wolfe from the all-new "Real Food Liz" website (formerly from the "Cave Girl Eats" blog) and co-host of the "Balanced Bites Podcast" on iTunes to discuss the details about her brand new Victory Belt Publishing book that releases today called Eat The Yolks.

Listen in as Laura interviews Liz about her real food nutrition journey after years of misguided diets, a short summary of what her new book is about and what she hopes readers will take away from the book, who exactly could stand to benefit from reading her book (SPOILER ALERT: everyone will learn something!), what Liz learned about nutrition science and public health policy while researching and writing her book, the real life experiences they have had educating the public on real food, how Liz shifted her nutritional beliefs as a result of writing this book, and how this message can be whittled down into a short sound byte much in the same way Michael Pollan has done. Get Eat The Yolks and enjoy this fascinating meeting of the minds conversation between two of the leaders in the Paleo community.
