Danielle Turco (@ketolupie) was diagnosed with Lupus twenty years ago while pregnant with her son James. After many years of trying to figure out why she never felt well, she was finally diagnosed with lupus.

1735: Lesya Hozapfel On The Benefits Of Carb Cycling For Optimal Women’s Health Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

ON today’s episode of The LLVLC Show Jimmy welcomes Lesya Hozapfel to talk about carb cycling for optimal women’s health.

So many people in the keto community take a hard-nosed approach to introducing more carbohydrates into the diet on purpose, but Lesya makes the case that it comes with incredible benefits to the health of women especially. Jimmy and Lesya hit on all kinds of issues about keto in this insightful interview today!

1734: Critical Thinking Skills 101 (aka How To Avoid Propaganda) Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

On today’s episode of Jimmy Makes Science Simple on the LLVLC Show, Jimmy takes a deep dive into critical thinking skills and shows you how to avoid propaganda.

“People hear you say something and automatically think that you believe one way or another.”

Jimmy Moore

In this episode of The LLVLC Show, I talk about critical thinking skills and why they are important, how to use them in a real world setting, what the most important critical thinking skills are to use, and some ways to improve your critical thinking skills quickly. All rational thought and objectiveness in discussing ideas publicly it’s pretty much out the window. But we can all do our part to think much more critically so we don’t fall into the trap of being a zealot! The learning starts here.⁣

1732: Keto Research Roundup: Alzheimer’s Disease, Continuous Ketone Monitor, Pre-Fast Exercise Impact On Ketones Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

On today’s episode of Jimmy Makes Science Simple on the LLVLC Show, Jimmy peels back the layers on another stack of cutting edge keto research.

“The side effects of the drugs they give people with Alzheimer’s can make quality of life difficult.”

Jimmy Moore

In this first clip Jimmy shares from a February 23, 2021 study published in the journal Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy entitled “Randomized crossover trial of a modified ketogenic diet in Alzheimer’s disease”: https://alzres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13195-021-00783-x

New Zealand researchers at Waikato Hospital in Hamilton, New Zealand used a modified ketogenic diet over a 12-week period on patients with a diagnosed case of Alzheimer’s disease. Primary outcomes included basic cognitive tests and quality-of-life improvements. Secondary outcomes included cardiovascular risk marker changes. The ketogenic diet beat the low-fat one across the board!

Next up Jimmy shares from an April 9, 2021 study published in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology entitled “Feasibility of Continuous Ketone Monitoring in Subcutaneous Tissue using a Ketone Sensor”: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/19322968211008185

At long last, a continuous ketone monitor (CKM) very similar to how a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) works is currently undergoing research and testing before coming to the market. Just like the CGM, the new CKM will not be measuring blood but rather interstitial fluid which is generally excepted as a proxy for blood readings.

In the first-ever human trial of continuous ketone monitoring, they tested 12 healthy individuals eating a low-carb diet and wearing 3 CKM‘s over a 14-day period and comparing those readings to a finger prick blood ketone test (using the Precision Xtra device from Abbott). Watch this video to find out just how accurate the CKM is and a couple of questions that Jimmy has about this new technology.

To wrap up this episode, Jimmy shares from a March 12, 2021 study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise entitled “The Effects of Exercise on Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Concentrations over a 36-h Fast: A Randomized Crossover Study”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33731648

1730: Keto Research Roundup: CVD/Diabetes Connection, Thyroid Function, Gut Flora Impact On Epilepsy May 24, 2021

Show notes

On today’s episode of Jimmy Makes Science Simple on the LLVLC Show, Jimmy brings you a look at the latest research on Thyroid function, epilepsy, and more.

“It is commonly assumed that eating keto lowers thyroid function even without any scientific evidence showing that.”

- Jimmy Moore

We kick off today’s episode with an April 7, 2021 study published in the European Journal of Preventative Cardiology entitled “Prevalence of diabetes and impact on cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with chronic coronary syndromes, across multiple geographic regions and ethnicities”: https://academic.oup.com/eurjpc/advan… Does heart disease lead to a greater risk of Type 2 diabetes?

In today’s second segment, Jimmy shares from an April 12, 2021 study published in the journal Neurological Sciences entitled “The effect of ketogenic diet on thyroid functions in children with drug-resistant epilepsy”: https://link.springer.com/article/10…. Does a ketogenic diet lower thyroid function?

In the third and final segment of today’s show Jimmy explores the idea of gut flora and its impact on using the keto diet to treat epilepsy. Jimmy shares from a June 2021 study (yes, that’s the right date) published in the journal Microbial Pathogenesis entitled “Gut flora and metabolism are altered in epilepsy and partially restored after ketogenic diets”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33894…

1729: Dr. Linda Anegawa Explains Why Keto May Not Work For You May 19, 2021

Show notes

In Episode 1729 of the LLVLC Show, Dr. Linda Anegawa joins Jimmy to talk about why Keto might not work for you.

“When people have struggled with weight gain, a set point will be set by the body that makes you want to maintain a certain weight.”

Dr. Linda Anegawa

Dr. Linda Anegawa is an Obesity Medicine specialist. She understands that treating excess weight and metabolic syndrome is not just a question of will power, following the latest fads, or using a cookie cutter approach. Obesity is a complex disease, requiring a supportive, empathetic, and comprehensive approach to treatment.

Today Jimmy has obesity medicine specialist Dr. Linda Anegawa, MD to discuss how she helps her patients who experience frustration over keto seemingly not working for them. If you’ve been keto and for some reason it’s not working like you want it to, watch this episode to get some encouragement and tips about how to break through. ENJOY!

1728: New Research Shows Efficacy Of A Modified Keto Diet On Alzheimer’s Disease May 18, 2021

Show notes

On today’s episode of Jimmy Makes Science Simple on the LLVLC Show, Jimmy tackles a new study that has important information concerning Alzheimer’s Disease.

“I bet all of these participants would have done even better with higher fat intake.”

Jimmy Moore

Today on Jimmy Makes Science Simple on LLVLC (@jimmymakessciencesimple) I have a February 23, 2021 study published in the journal Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy entitled “Randomized crossover trial of a modified ketogenic diet in Alzheimer’s disease.”

While I always appreciate new research that shows benefits with nutritional ketosis, I’m always flummoxed by the rationale for why researchers do things the way they do. In this study, they modified the ketogenic approach by lowering the fat to 58% of calories and feeding the participants in excess of 15% of calories from carbohydrate. Since they were measuring a neurodegenerative condition and looking for what effects ketone bodies would play in the brain, it was odd they insisted on a version of keto that only produced mild ketosis.

If they examined all the research of epilepsy another neurodegenerative diseases, then they would’ve seen a very different diet—upwards of 90% fat. I think they could have gone in between the diet they chose and the therapeutic diet for epilepsy and shown far greater results. Their concern was compliance with the diet and they included sweets in what they offered.

Despite these challenges in the research, I think it’s a pretty good study because we don’t have enough positive papers on Alzheimer’s disease with a ketogenic approach. Hopefully this study proves the efficacy of the intervention and they will do larger scale studies for they can do a more therapeutic level of ketogenic diet. I enjoyed sharing this one with you all today!
