Episode 109: Dr. Kristin Baier May 27, 2020

Show notes

We are happy to be joined today by primary care physician and soon-to-be member of Brian Lenzkes' DPC in San Diego, Dr. Kristin Baier. Upon being diagnosed with lupus during medical school, Dr. Baier began looking to nutrition for help. Her first experiment was with veganism—no help. She then transitioned into the paleo diet, during which time she found some success and began to lose weight. Finally, having discovered the ketogenic diet, she gave it a try and was able to come off of five different medications, eliminate her chronic headaches, and improve her lupus symptoms. We discuss the benefits of a direct primary care system for providing real quality care to patients.

Episode 107: Chris S. Cornell May 18, 2020

Show notes

We are honored to have Chris S. Cornell on the show with us today. Having tried time and time again to achieve a healthy weight, Chris had become frustrated with plant-based and calorie restriction diets. Over time, he eventually found his way to the low-carb diet thanks to a book recommendation—Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes. Since then, Chris has been healthy and has reached a healthy weight using a low-carb approach to eating. We have a great conversation about dealing with sugar and carbohydrate addiction and the importance of community support.

Show notes

We are so happy to have Ivor Cummins, the Fat Emperor, back on the show! We discuss the effectiveness, based on careful scientific studies of the available data, of the various suggested measures imposed to fight COVID-19. We discuss the findings of scientists who have been studying the pandemic as it plays out, and reflect on how, in hindsight, the outbreak has been handled. We also discuss studies which indicate the effectiveness of being outdoors versus indoors when it comes to fighting the spread of the virus. Additionally, we discuss studies that show a relationship between levels of Vitamin D in the body and susceptibility to death from COVID-19. Finally, we examine how the virus has progressed in various countries—countries like Sweden, Australia, and others—and compare their respective defensive strategies as well as the many accidental factors involved.

Show notes

We are joined on the podcast today by Amber O'Hearn. Amber is someone who found success with the low carb diet, and who found even greater success with a carnivore diet. She found that not only could she lose 'stubborn' weight that she struggled to lose, but she was able to successfully eliminate her depression. We spend time examining arguments for and against the carnivore diet and vegan diets. We discuss the difference between essential and non-essential nutrients and the beneficial effects of foods from the animal kingdom. Additionally, we discuss what it means to be satiated by your food. Finally, we discuss the upcoming carnivore diet conference at which Amber will be a speaker. Thank you for listening in!

Episode 103: Dr. Ariel Ortiz Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

We are joined on the show today by Dr. Ariel Ortiz—a weight-loss surgeon and the founder of the Obesity Control Center in Tijuana, Mexico. We discuss the connection between preexisting metabolic disease and the risk of death from COVID-19. Dr. Ortiz tells the story of how he, as a result of his search for a pre-operative diet for his patients that would shrink their livers, discovered that low-carb dietary intervention could be used as a treatment for metabolic disease. Eventually our conversation turned toward doctor-patient interaction and the importance of making health easy for the patient. How can we utilize new technological/social platforms to make health easier and more sustainable for more and more people? Dr. Ortiz is hopeful that the advancement of telemedicine and remote monitoring will continue to grow, bringing real, effective health care that reverses disease to the whole world. Check out the info in the show notes to explore what Dr. Ortiz is up to right now!

Episode 102: Alyssa Gallagher Apr 20, 2020

Show notes

We are excited to be joined today by Alyssa Gallagher. Alyssa is a registered dietician working at on out-patient diabetes clinic. She was introduced to low-carb seven years ago by a dietitian friend of hers at a time when she was starting to become frustrated that she was unable to help her patients lose weight or come off of insulin using the standard American diet. Having begun to see results with low-carb in her own life, she began using the dietary approach to combat diabetes and obesity with amazing results. We discuss the susceptibility of metabolically unhealthy people to disease and sickness, the importance of transparency and sharing evidence and data in a doctor/patient relationship, and tips for sustainably overcoming carb addiction.
