Episode 120: Jerry Teixeira Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

Jerry Teixeira is a body weight strength trainer who has been helping people lose weight for good without going to a gym! In this episode, Jerry tells us about his approach to health, diet, and exercise as well as relating the story of his own personal journey toward a healthier lifestyle. We discuss the 'calories in, calories out' model as well as the theory that you should 'eat less and move more' to lose weight. Also, we discuss the 'obesity mindset' that people sometimes retain after they have dropped a lot of weight. Jerry's theory of weight loss and strength training revolves around the idea that each person needs to start where they are at. Then, as you become stronger and lose more weight, the intensity of the exercise scales up to meet your ability. We talk about blue zones, the effects of eliminating plant food from your diet, and the potential health benefits of a carnivore diet.

Episode 119: Jimmy Moore Jul 06, 2020

Show notes

We are very happy to be joined on the show by Jimmy Moore. Jimmy is an accomplished author and a very inspiring guy with a great and encouraging story to tell. We cover a variety of topics in this episode. First, we talk about the importance of learning to look at the correct markers when it comes to determining progress, and learning to not stress over the markers that may not necessarily be direct pointers to the state of one's metabolic health. Next the conversation turns to strategies for dealing with carb and sugar addiction. Additionally, we have a long conversation about fasting—how to get started with fasting and how to do so safely.

Episode 118: Dr. Rohn Rigby Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Rohn Rigby is a family practice physician in Layton, Utah. After attending an obesity conference in 2012—where he met Dr. Eric Westman—he realized that he needed to change his eating habits or face serious health problems. From that moment on, he has been eating low-carb. He currently practices obesity medicine at his medical weight loss clinic. We discuss the importance of effectively educating our patients about real nutrition and lifestyle intervention in order to offset the false narrative that many people hear and believe about diseases like diabetes. Additionally, we talk about treating and raising awareness for processed food addiction and sugar addiction. Thanks for listening in!

We are very excited to be joined today by Dr Adele Hite. Dr Hite worked with LowCarbUSA to create clinical guidelines for practitioners in a clinical setting, and has been working in the low carb world for many years.

Episode 116: Craig Emmerich Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

Craig Emmerich is a keto/carnivore expert as well as an electrical engineer with an amazing story. We are excited to have him on the show with us today! Seven years ago he was diagnosed with lime disease. Having heard that the carnivore diet might reduce lime-induced pain, he decided to give it a try. The results were spectacular! In this episode, we discuss the different health benefits enjoyed by those on carnivore and keto diets, and we talk about what specific factors of a full carnivore diet may lead to these differing benefits. Further, we discuss the importance of thinking about disease like an engineer solving a problem. Look at what your machine is outputting and, if the results are not favorable, take a look at the inputs. Contact Info: Craig Emmerich:

Show notes

We are excited to welcome Dr. Tony Hampton to the show today! Dr. Hampton adopted the low carb diet when he began to realize, through his own reading and by following the research, that it could be used to combat diabetes. When he realized that conventional methods didn't treat the underlying disease, he decided that he had to re-evaluate his perspective. In this episode we discuss the culture variable in the equation of working with a patient to improve their health.

Episode 111: Ken Armstrong Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

We are joined on the podcast today by business analyst, Ken Armstrong. Having been disappointed again and again by a variety of different diets, Ken discovered Gary Taubes' book, Why We Get Fat, which set him on the path to finally attaining health and sustainable weight loss. After falling off the wagon for a while, he returned to low-carb and began trying intermittent fasting as well. This combination of fasting and dieting helped him to regain the progress he had lost. Since then, he has been experimenting with the carnivore diet as part of his continued effort to discover which nutritional decisions are best for him. "You are never beyond help. You are never beyond hope." This is the message that Ken wants to communicate. Contact Info: Ken Armstrong:
