On today's episode of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show, Jimmy takes a deep dive into a new study by Dr. David Ludwig. “I’ve heard all my career that a low-carb diet is just another version of a low-calorie diet.”  - Jimmy Moore When I first got into the nutritional health community, I remember hearing people who were advocating for the Atkins low-carb diet talking about it providing a metabolic advantage over other diets. What exactly was the advantage? There was an increased total energy expenditure (TEE)—the number of calories burned—of about 150-200 calories a day when you eat a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Flash forward to 2020, now we have a new meta-analysis research paper that confirms it. ⁣ ⁣ In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from a study conducted by Boston Children’s Hospital obesity researcher Dr. David Ludwig and his team published in the December 3, 2020 issue of The Journal of Nutrition. It’s a response paper to another meta-analysis that claimed low-carb diets decrease TEE

In Episode 1695 of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show Dr. Kristin Baier joins Jimmy to talk about the growing trend of ‘Keto Influencers’ and how they are affecting the community. “It really is rejuvenating for the medical provider to see patients actually get better and deprescribing medication.”  - Dr. Kristin Baier, MD Dr. Kristin Baier (@doctoringketo) is double board-certified in Obesity Medicine and Family Medicine. She recently relocated to San Diego to serve patients through a non-traditional healthcare model with an emphasis on metabolic health. She specializes in weight loss management and associated co-morbidities through lifestyle and nutrition. Dr. Baier shared her story. “For many years, I battled debilitating daily migraines along with frequent painful flares from auto-immune disease. My daily medication regimen could rival someone five decades older. I had tried everything from a vegan diet to Paleo without much improvement in symptoms. Then I discovered the ketogenic diet and benefits of nutri

On today’s episode of the LLVLC Show, Jimmy pulls back the curtain on a jaw-dropping report about Coca-Cola. “We already have an example of this with the tobacco companies back in the day.”  - Jimmy Moore Most people who look at a research paper, attend a public health conference, or even hear recommendations from their own doctor assume that the information is scientific, accurate, and free from any outside influence. Unfortunately, the reality is that there is heavy influence from Big Pharma to Big Food that directly impacts your life because that gets trickled down to impact you eventually. And now we have a study that proves it. ⁣ ⁣ In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from a published study detailing correspondence between representatives from the Coca-Cola Company and various researchers across the United States offering financial incentives to make presentations blaming physical activity and personal responsibility in obesity. The researchers poured over 37,000 pages of e-mail docu

On today’s episode of the LLVLC Show, Bella The Steak And Butter Gal drops by the show to talk about her meat-based approach to nutrition. “Learn to listen to your body. Eat what you crave instead of counting how much fat or protein you’re eating.” Bella, the Steak And Butter Gal Bella “The Steak & Butter Gal” is a classically trained musician studying at The Juilliard School who is passionate about sharing her vegan to carnivore story. Follow along her journey of improving her autoimmune conditions (eczema & psoriasis), acne, mental health, mood, and energy with animal foods alone at Facebook and Instagram. In this interview, Jimmy talks to Bella “The Steak & Butter Gal” about her foray into the carnivore diet, the famous egg pudding recipe she came up with, what her real dream is and why the pandemic forced her into putting it on hold, and so much more! What a delightful conversation.

On today’s episode of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show, we talk about a new study about eggs that baffles the mind. “Do you see how science can manipulate data to make it seem like it’s something that it’s not?” - Jimmy Moore Cholesterol Clarity on Amazon The incredible edible egg. It’s arguably the world’s most perfect food with exactly the amount of fat and protein your body needs to be healthy and strong. There are so many nutrients contained in eggs that it would be silly to think you would need to limit your consumption of them for any reason. ⁣ ⁣ But in this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition last month entitled “Higher egg consumption associated with increased risk of diabetes in Chinese adults – China Health and Nutrition Survey” that does exactly that! The researchers claim that eating just one egg a day will increase your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 60 percent. ⁣ ⁣ I do a deep dive into this study and explain in great

On today’s episode of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show, we talk about a new study that looks at low-insulin as a weight loss tool. “When you become insulin resistant, over time your body acts like it has its hands over its ears and stops listening to the signals sent.”  - Jimmy Moore If you boil down the most popular diets over the past 20 years—Atkins, Protein Power, Zone, primal, Paleo, Whole30, keto, and carnivore—they all are about lowering inflammation, blood sugar, and insulin levels. So rather than identifying with any particular diet, why don’t we instead look at the end physiologic result? A September 2020 study does just that. ⁣ ⁣ German researchers from the Düsseldorf Catholic Hospital published their study entitled “Weight Reduction by the Low-Insulin Method—A Randomized Controlled Trial” in the September 30, 2020 issue of the journal Nutrients. Get the full details along with my running commentary (the good and the bad from the study) in this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show. ⁣ Support thi

On today’s episode of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show, we talk about a new study aimed at intermittent fasting. “Once you’re keto adapted you naturally fast for 16 hours. It’s not hard at all. I think they missed the point here.” Jimmy Moore ⁣There’s a big new study out about intermittent fasting that came out recently and it claims it is completely useless for weight loss. As one of the co-authors on THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING, I had to take a closer look at this paper out of the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) Cardiovascular Research Institute published in the September 28, 2020 edition of the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. Get full details about the study along with my running commentary on the many flaws that totally invalidate the conclusions the researchers made in this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show. ⁣ Support this show by becoming a Patron at Patreon!

On today’s episode of the LLVLC Show, Jessica Viker, BSN, RN, stops by to talk about the state of Critical Care Nursing. “We are not the same. Bioindividuality is REAL. What works for me won’t work for my mom or anyone else.” - Jessica Viker Registered Nurse Jessica Viker’s (@keto_nurse_jess) health journey started about 7 years ago, when she just didn’t feel well. As a nurse at a busy hospital, she knew what tired felt like, but this was a whole new level of exhausted. Her hair was falling out, her skin was dry, and she was perpetually cold. She had gained weight out of nowhere over the past 10 years, and not only could she not get it off, she kept gaining! After literally YEARS of different doctors, lab tests, frustration and misdiagnosis, she was finally diagnosed with chronic reverse T3 hypothyroidism, (triggered by a viral infection), and hormonal dysfunction. It was then that she set out on the journey to reclaim her health. Listen in today as Jessica joins Jimmy to talk about her health journey, divin

On today’s episode of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show, we talk about why a ketogenic diet should be considered when treating malignant gliomas. “Don’t we want to at least look at any option that will extend lives?” - Jimmy Moore People ask me all the time with the research is on ketogenic diets and cancer. And the sad reality is it’s still extremely limited. Yes, we have seen some promising results in rat and mice studies. But that hasn’t translated into human trials of any significance yet. ⁣ ⁣ Part of the challenge is the bioindividuality of the cancers. Not all of them feed on glucose which is why I saying keto is the answer for cancer is significantly wrong or at least incomplete. But ever since Otto Warburg found starving cancer cells of glucose as a beneficial effect for helping patients with tumors, the ketogenic diet has been an intriguing prospective adjunct therapy to traditional treatments. ⁣ ⁣ In today’s episode of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show, I read from a July 27, 2020 study published in the jo

  “We are being told to socially distance and wear a mask, but nobody is talking about how to boost your immune system.” Jimmy Moore When you feel a cold coming on, do you start taking higher doses of things like vitamin C and zinc? You’re not alone. Plenty of people swear by this helping it lessen the severity and length of the common cold. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what made you start doing that to begin with?⁣ ⁣ When the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic made its way to America in March 2020, we really didn’t know a whole lot about it at the time. We knew that those who started experiencing the most severe symptoms had on average three comorbidities and were at the greatest risk for being hospitalized, going on a ventilator, and sadly dying. At the same time, health officials were telling us all to stay at home, wear a mask, socially distance, wash your hands, and all the rest that we’ve all been obediently doing all year long. ⁣ ⁣ But what the health officials have neglected to do is actually giv

“I’m okay hearing differences in opinion in regards to diet, but I have the ability to push back because I know what these foods do to the body.”  - Dr. Tony Hampton Dr. Tony Hampton is a board certified family physician who for 19 years has treated patients with multiple chronic conditions. The condition which has had the greatest impact in his life both in his family and as a physician has been diabetes inspiring him to give his patients some useful tools to help them manage this chronic condition. A regular speaker for the American Diabetes Association speaking at its annual Expo speaking about “Diabetes in the African American Community” as well as “Diet and Diabetes”. His passion to empower patients with knowledge was the driving force behind his desire to become an author and write about ways diet can help improve not only diabetes but other health conditions as well. Listen in today to hear Jimmy and Dr. Hampton talk about the stress of Covid-19 and how he manages this stress with his patients, how vi

In Episode 1682 of Jimmy Rants on the LLVLC Show, we take an honest look at the Norwegian HUSK Study and what that means for us. “I’ve been shouting this from the mountaintop for 15 years, it’s not the fat in your diet that’s the problem, it’s the carbs.” Jimmy Moore When national dietary recommendations beginning in 1980 called for people to cut their fat intake, especially saturated fat, nobody seemed to think about the ramifications of what that would do in the rest of people’s diets. But when you reduce fat, only so much protein can be consumed. There was only one macronutrient left and people naturally gravitated to it. ⁣ ⁣A new prospective cohort study out of Norway called The Hordaland Health Study (HUSK) published in the September 10, 2020 issue of Cambridge University Press on behalf of The Nutrition Society said telling people to reduce their saturated fat intake led them to eat more carbohydrates like bread, sweet beverages, and fruit—and this, in turn, increased their risk of cardiovascular disea

On Episode 1681 we talk with Dr. Lisa Koche about mitochondria and keto and more. “We can work aggressively on ourselves which will mitigate the effects of this virus or whatever virus comes next.”  - Dr. Lisa Koche Dr. Koche is triple boarded in Internal Medicine, Bariatrics, and Anti-Aging and Regenerative medicine. Ever since her own exposure to the medical field due to childhood leukemia and heart failure from chemo, she has been focused on finding the CAUSE of issues instead of treating the symptoms. She attended Emory Medical School and completed her internal medicine residency at USF in Tampa. She started her practice focusing on preventing cardiovascular diseases and obesity. That experience led to further training in alternative medicine, hormones, and nutrition. She is the medical director and founder of Spectra Wellness Solutions, a comprehensive clinic focusing on all aspects needed for total body healing including the ketogenic diet, hormone replacement therapies, and enhancing mitochondria

In Episode 1680 of Jimmy Rants on the LLVLC Show, we take an honest look at the SWAP-MEAT Study. “They even admit that they got skewed results due to the way they conducted the study.”  - Jimmy Moore A new study published in the August 11, 2020 edition of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition claims that consuming at least two servings of plant-based meat a day will lower your cardiovascular risk factors as compared with the same amount of red meat. The 16-week randomized crossover study funded by the Beyond Meat company was conducted by Stanford researcher Dr. Christopher Gardner and his team. ⁣ ⁣ But there are some major flaws in this study that I can’t let slip by. In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I pour over the study design and results of this research finding major flaws that bring into question why this ever got published to begin with.

On today’s episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, we talk all about vegetable oils and the flawed science that promotes them. “When you’re a kid you have to trust what adults say, but as adults we should be questioning everything.” - Jimmy moore Saturated fat has been heavily vilified for decades and yet nobody really can explain why. Despite the fact there has never been a randomized controlled trial showing any negative health implications from consuming foods like meat, butter, and dairy, it’s still very commonly believed by the average person. However, new research is starting to change that and hopefully the persistent phobia will soon come to an end. ⁣ ⁣ In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from an article detailing some of the research shenanigans that went on in the early 70s in studies that were looking at replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat oils and margarine. The published results didn’t give the full story. But I’ve got the details for you in this episode! Chec
