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

Former NASA scientist-astronaut, medical doctor and anti-statin medication advocate Dr. Duane Graveline is our guest today for this LLVLC Show Classic from our golden archives in Episode 774 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

Today we have a very special LLVLC Show Classic episode to share with you because it features a man whose hearing has now sadly deteriorated to the point that he's now unable to do interviews anymore to tell his story. Jimmy Moore was privileged to be able to interview him via e-mail for his bestselling 2013 book Cholesterol Clarity: What The HDL Is Wrong With My Numbers? to get his perspective on cholesterol, heart disease and the negative health implications that come from taking statin drugs. He is Dr. Duane Graveline and operates one of the best informational web sites on the Internet about the dangers of the cholesterol-lowering statin medications like Lipitor and Crestor called SpaceDoc.com.

If you've read Cholesterol Clarity, then you are already familiar with Dr. Graveline's sad story about what happened to him when he began taking Lipitor for his "high" cholesterol. Since the original recording of this interview, his condition has gotten progressively worse to the point that he'll soon be confined to a wheelchair because of statin-induced ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Listen in as you'll hear Dr. Graveline share his horrifying story of dealing with the aftermath of taking Lipitor and inducing an episode of a condition called global transient amnesia, how statins can cause major, permanent damage to human mitochondrial DNA, resulting in loss of strength, joint pain, and memory loss, the falseness of the cholesterol theory of atherosclerosis, the REAL reason statins may show benefit in dealing with atherosclerosis, why CoQ-10 is a MUST for anyone taking a statin, why you cannot buy a pill with a statin and CoQ-10 together, and a whole lot more! We count it a real privilege to have had the honor to speak with this health champion and are pleased to present this special LLVLC Show Classic episode with you today from deep within our archives.

Certified holistic health and nutrition coach Wendy Myers and women's bodybuilding phenom Leigh Lowery are our special guest co-hosts in Episode 773 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

The rough draft of the first few chapters of Jimmy's upcoming August 2014 release of Keto Clarity are now finished as our humble host continues to type away on his latest book. That means we've got more fantastic guest hosts to keep things rolling here while he's away. And today's guest hosts are the stunning voices behind the incredible "Live To 110" podcast. They are Wendy Myers and Leigh Lowery and these two bring a wealth of knowledge, inspiration and wisdom in what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle. Listen in as Leigh infuses her trademark humor into a fascinating and engaging conversation with Wendy about how the death of her father to esophageal cancer initially got her interested in health, the importance of doing a REAL detoxifying program for life, getting a hair mineral analysis to determine your level of toxicity, and what you can do to remove heavy metals and damaging chemicals from your body for good to get your body back on the road to good health. And Jimmy just confirmed that Wendy will be one of his featured guest speakers on the 2014 Low-Carb Cruise coming in May if you like what you hear in this episode.

Nutritional health writer, lecturer, and book author Denise Minger is our special guest host in Episode 766 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

Jimmy Moore is still away from his hosting chair over the next few months while he's hard at work on writing his next book Keto Clarity set to release on August 5, 2014. This week he will be finishing up the raw recording of his bestselling 2013 book Cholesterol Clarity for the soon-to-be-released audiobook version. We'll give you full details when that will be available for download to your listening device. But we haven't left you hanging while Jimmy is away--we continue with the fabulous guest hosts on Mondays and Tuesdays as well as digging through the treasure trove of archived audio for the rebroadcast on Wednesdays of an LLVLC Show Classic.

Today's guest host is someone who has been deep in hibernation researching and writing her book for the past few years. But the long-awaited release of Death by Food Pyramid: How Shoddy Science, Sketchy Politics and Shady Special Interests Have Ruined Our Health by the super-smart former vegan and savvy nutritional health advocate Denise Minger from the "Raw Food SOS" blog is over and the book is ready to rock the health world. Anyone who knows Denise Minger realizes she leaves no stone unturned in keeping the scientific integrity of everything she writes about. Listen in as she shares about the forces that overrode common sense and solid science to launch a food pyramid phenomenon that bled far beyond U.S. borders to taint the eating habits of the entire modern world, how generations of flawed pyramids and plates endure as part of the national consciousness, and how the "one-size-fits-all" diet mentality these icons convey pushes us deeper into the throes of obesity and disease. And you'll hear it all from the woman herself as she sits in the guest-hosting chair sharing her inspiration and wisdom from this stunning and controversial new book!

Nutrition and exercise expert, former personal trainer, and health book author Jonathan Bailor is our special guest host in Episode 764 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

While Jimmy Moore is away over the next few months recording the audiobook version of his bestselling 2013 book Cholesterol Clarity and writing his next book Keto Clarity, he's got a fantastic line-up of guest hosts for you on Mondays and Tuesdays and some amazing LLVLC Classic episodes from deep in the archives on Wednesdays to share with you in the coming months. Today we feature a great friend of the podcast in fellow podcaster, author, and health rebel Jonathan Bailor who has authored an incredible new book he's going to share about in this podcast called The Calorie Myth: How to Eat More, Exercise Less, Lose Weight, and Live Better. If you think calories matter in weight loss and health, then you'll want to take a listen to Bailor explain why that's not exactly true. While most so-called health "experts" say you need to eat less and exercise more to shed the pounds, Bailor has an equation of his own: Eat More + Exercise Less = Weight Loss. Sound too good to be true? Don't miss this fascinating guest host give you all the dirty details about his new book straight from the horse's mouth!
