Insulin Resistance from the Ground Up with Ivor Cummins Jan 30, 2017

Show notes

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris talk to Ivor Cummins about his work with Hungarian Biologist Gabor Erdosi based on research that paints a more detailed picture of how insulin resistance happens. It turns out that adipose tissue (fat cells) have a much bigger role to play in metabolic dysfunction than previously thought. This is a fascinating discussion.

Family Support Jan 22, 2017

Show notes

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris talk to Carl's wife, Kelly J Franklin, about the experience of supporting your partner (or any family member) who's gone ketogenic. We've talked about it from the Ketonian perspective, but not yet from the partner's point of view. This is a great show for couples to listen to when one is eating carbs and one is not.

Paying it Forward Jan 15, 2017

Show notes

Richard Morris and Carl Franklin talk to Lino Tadros, an old friend who suffers from type 2 diabetes and obesity, has tried every diet and procedure without success - even lap-band surgery, and started the ketogenic way of life in January, 2017. Carl flew across the country to cook for him and his family this week. Needless to say, it was yummy, and the whole family feels better after just a few days. This show is about paying your good fortune forward to help the next generation dodge the bullet of metabolic syndrome while it's still relatively easy to do. Errata: Richard mentioned that 50% of Egyptian women have diabetes, but the actual statistic is 50% of Egyptians have central obesity - which is a good sign that they are on the diabetic trajectory.

Starting Keto Jan 07, 2017

Show notes

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris think that the Ketogenic diet will see a huge wave of popularity in 2017. Many newcomers are making it their New Year's resolution to 'go keto' to get healthy. So whether you're getting back on the horse, about to begin for the first time, or just kicking the tires, this episode is for you. Happy New Year!

Ketogenic Forums - Getting off Facebook Jan 01, 2017

Show notes

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris talk about the new Ketogenic Forums with tips and tricks for how to get started, how to search for information, post new topics, and comment intelligently on existing topics. They also spoke with Jeff Atwood, the creator of Discourse - the forum software that runs www.ketogenicforums.com - about Facebook, discussions, Q and A sites, and the reasons why he and his team created Discourse in the first place. If you are new to the forums, this is your show! Errata: Richard incorrectly referred to ventral, when he meant ventricular (as in tachycardia).

Holiday Hangout 2016! Dec 24, 2016

Show notes

Richard Morris and Carl Franklin are joined at the 2 Keto Dudes Annual Holiday Party by previous guests Brenda Zorn (#21 & #32), Kim Howerton (#32), and L. Amber O`Hearn (#44) for a very special nearly 2-hour-long party version of the show. Don't spend the holidays alone! Hang out with us! And, don't forget to check out our new Ketogenic Forums!

Conventional Wisdom Dec 19, 2016

Show notes

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris discuss the conventional wisdom that we all believe, even when we know it's unsupported by actual evidence - like saturated fat clogging your arteries, or the health benefit of plants, or the idea that eating fat "a priori" makes you fat. This show runs a little longer than usual (an hour and 20 minutes) because we made a major announcement that affects the future of our online group. Errata: Richard mentioned the last un-contacted paleolithic tribe in Australia walked out of the desert in 1989, but it was in fact 1984 - and they are known as the Pintupi 9.

Carnivore Dec 12, 2016

Show notes

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris talk to Amber O'Hearn about being a carnivore, evolution, sleep, ketogenic metabolism, and a few other tasty nuggets you won't want to miss! Errata Richard forgot to mention when working with Transglutaminase .. wear food prep gloves. Amber sent us a piece of errata. She writes: In our podcast, Carl asks me if babies *have* to be in ketosis to build brains, and I say yes, but that's not true. That is, the primary way that babies build fat and cholesterol in the brain in normal conditions *is* out of ketone bodies, though a small proportion is also made from glucose. I have a few references on this point in the talk transcript on my blog. The critical question is: What happens if there are no ketones to be had and only glucose? The answer seems to be that glucose will suffice. There is a rare inborn error of metabolism called HMG-CoA lyase deficiency, which prevents the body from making ketones. A paper by another brilliant Morris ( Cerebral ketone body metabolism ) reports that people afflicted with this have white matter abnormalities, but no noticeable loss of function, except of course, they can't go without food for long. This suggests that in cases where there are no circulating ketones, the glucose alternative pathway will take over, and get at least an adequate brain constructed. It occurs to me that children with this condition may be perfect candidates for the therapeutic use of ketones esters, provided the condition doesn't somehow prevent their use. "Given the importance of KBs [ketone bodies] as substrates for myelination, one might expect disorders of ketogenesis to be associated with cerebral white-matter abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging has, indeed, shown diffuse mildly increased signal in the white matter of patients with HMG-CoA lyase deficiency. Superimposed on this are foci of more abnormal signal. In most cases, multiple lesions have been present, varying in size from a few millimetres to large confluent areas; as well as in the cerebral hemispheres, they have been reported in the internal capsule and brainstem but not in the corpus callosum or cerebellar white matter. Despite the imaging abnormalities, most patients have had no neurological problems and normal or slightly below average intelligence. The findings would be compatible with hypomyelination, caused by the lack of KB."

Optimizing Nutrition with Marty Kendall Dec 05, 2016

Show notes

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris welcome Marty Kendall, a civil engineer fascinated with nutrition, to discuss his work dissecting our relationship between food, nutrition, metabolism, and weight loss. A hallmark of Marty's work is describing the best approach for different metabolic states and body types. This is a fascinating discussion that explains a lot of our eating behavior in the last 50 years. Carl talks about his experiments with macadamia nuts, the results of which support the science.

Grit Nov 28, 2016

Show notes

Richard Morris and Carl Franklin interview Shane Barnbrook, survivor of an accident that left him classified as an incomplete quadriplegic. Through the magic of the ketogenic diet he has lost considerable weight and controlled his inflammation. Hear the fascinating story of how he and his family have managed to keep their sense of humor as life throws them more than their fair-share of curve balls. UPDATE: Music to Code By actually DID help Shane's daughter get to sleep! Also, Carl DID cook the sous vide eggs after the show was recorded and They. Were. Delicious. Errata: Richard referred to Chef Raymond Blanc having two hats ... but of course he meant Michelin stars. "Chef hats" is an Australian honorary for great Australian chefs only, but not the same thing as a Michelin star which is international and much more sought after.
