14: Diet And The Three A's: ADHD, Autism and Alzheimer's | Dr. Larry McCleary | AIR DATE: April 19, 2012 at 7PM ETFEATURED EXPERT: Dr. Larry McCleary -- DrMcCleary.comFEATURED TOPIC: Episode 14: “Diet And The Three A's: ADHD, Autism and Alzheimer's” Neurosurgeon Dr. Larry McCleary is the retired Acting Chief of Neurosurgery at Denver Children’s Hospital. His latest book Feed Your Brain Lose Your Belly examines the close interconnection between the role of gut health, nutrition and the health of your brain (listen to my interview with Dr. McCleary about this book in Episode 463 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show"). His special areas of expertise involve the neurological system and metabolic medicine which makes him very highly-qualified to address the role that diet plays on mental health ailments such as ADHD, Autism and Alzheimer's. Can these be prevent or even reversed through the use of nutrition? That's what we be explored in greater detail in this podcast with Dr. McCleary. ENTER TO WIN PRIZES IN JIMMY'S BLOGIVERSARY GIVEAWAY:LOW-CARB, GLUTEN-FREE CONDIMENTS MADE WITH STEVIVANOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: http://cmp.ly/3 Here are some of the questions we addressed in this podcast: DANNY'S COMMENT: Haven't needed my ADHD meds since I reduced carbs. MARTA'S COMMENT: My son is in the autism spectrum and last year when I started Atkins and was restricting certain foods in the house - he adapted to a "modified" Atkins way of eating. I noticed about 6 months ago how he has changed - for the better. Originally he was also diagnosed with ADHD - his re-diagnosis as of last month is that he does not have ADHD anymore!! He has become such a happier, more outgoing child and yes he does not like a lot of foods - his favorites are broccoli, cucumbers and salad, and he has always been a big meat eater. He has peanut and tree nut allergies so candy and sweets were never a big part of his diet. He does like an occasional hershey bar or cup of ice cream - and I let him. Its not every day. AND he also has Tourette's which has subsided too with NO MEDS!!!!!!! RICHELLE FROM AUSTRALIA ASKS:The modern diet is dreadfully low in omega 3 and high in omega 6 FA’s – are these implicated in the 3 A’s? What are the physiologic effects on the brain of ketosis? Do those effects protect the brain from the 3 A’s? Does the mother's diet during pregnancy lead to the child developing autism and ADHD? KEVIN ASKS:Are you familiar with Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride's GAPS diet protocol (listen to Episode 557 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show" for Jimmy's interview on this) for these conditions and if so what are your thoughts about the program? Do you believe these conditions are primarily diseases of digestion and gut flora dysbiosis and "leaky gut"? TRECIA ASKS:Are there any specific nutrition recommendations for people with ADHD? I have 2 adult children and a hubby who could use some more direction. We have a variety of eating styles going on in the home. I'm Paleo, my son (25) is Primal, my daughter (20) is Gluten-Free and hubby (48) can't quite decide if he is just Gluten-free or if he wants to go back to a SAD diet. RANDY ASKS:Please ask him about how magnesium plays into the Three A's? What are his thoughts on how important magnesium is and why the modern human is so high in calcium and low on magnesium? MORLEY ASKS:Given that all three conditions share the same mineral deficiency -- Magnesium -- what is Dr. McCleary's recommendation on the best way to measure its status within our body? What levels of magnesium has he learned from his research into this that correlate most with these three conditions? What is the ideal ratio of Calcium to Magnesium to keep these three conditions in check? AILSA FROM THE UK ASKS:If you have an autistic child who is fruit and vegetable phobic, how do you get around that? It's quite common with my son Luke who is now 16 and eats relatively low carb. We tried fish oil supplementation and it made no difference. And he's been diagnosed with Asperger's, ADHD and Dyspraxia and his father | 4/20/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

13: ‘Low-Carbing Women & Weight Lifting’ | Dr. Cassandra Forsythe | Fitness and nutrition expert Dr. Cassandra Forsythe is highly-qualified to discuss the topic of low-carbing women and weight lifting. With a PhD in Exercise Science and Nutrition from the University of Connecticut (under the tutelage of former ATLCX podcast guest Dr. Jeff Volek) and a Registered Dietitian (RD), Cassandra has the educational background to address this critically important subject that is far too often misunderstood. Additionally, she’s a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and a Certified Sports Nutritionist (CISSN) which means there’s experience there to back up her book knowledge. She owns and operates the gym Fitness Revolution Vernon in Vernon, CT which in March 2012 won a Readers’ Choice contest for “Best Place to Work Out” in that area. Cassandra is well-known for her expertise in low-carbohydrate diets, nutrition for fat loss, and all aspects of female health which is why she addressed your questions on this topic. I had her as a guest in Episode 154 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show” a few years back and we were happy to have her here with us to talk about low-carbing women and weight loss. ENTER TO WIN PRIZES IN JIMMY’S BLOGIVERSARY GIVEAWAY:LOW-CARB, GLUTEN-FREE CONDIMENTS MADE WITH STEVIVANOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: http://cmp.ly/3 Here are some of the questions we addressed in this podcast: SANDY ASKS:Where does a woman begin when embarking on a weight lifting program if they have never done it before? How many days per week should they lift? What about the machines for resistance training at the gym? CAROL ASKS:I keep reading that if I don’t want to lose muscle mass, I must lift weights. But I want to know if you can do more than simply “not lose” muscle. I want to put on muscle! I have lifted weights pretty regularly over the years, and I feel pretty strong. But at age 60, what is a reasonable amount of muscle that I can put on? MINDY ASKS:I’d be curious to know your guests’ opinion on working out either with weights or HIIT-style when adrenal issues are in play. I’m 45 years old, have Hashimoto’s, constantly struggling with anemia, low hemoglobin & other CBC markers, etc. Cortisol saliva tests shows low levels in the AM and high in the PM. Under doctor’s care for all of these issues. My diet is low-carb Paleo with daily dose of sweet potato or starch at the evening meal. Body composition is approximately 20-30 pounds overweight. Would it be better in the short-term to put aside the higher intensity and maybe focus on walking or yoga? If it’s OK to continue with the HIIT (I do 3x per week kettlebells/TRX), is it important to do at a particular time of the day to optimize energy? PHILIS ASKS:For those of us who could write the book “I Hate To Exercise,” here are some questions: - How beneficial would 5-7 high intensity (1 Minute) intervals be? - Is it effective to strength train just doing 2 or 3 reps in the evenings most days? I am one of those with wobbly upper arms that drives me crazy & have not seen much benefit even with a trainer. - There is slow burn and fast sets in lifting weights. Is it just a matter of what someone is willing to do and enjoys? ASHLEY ASKS:How often do you come across female low carb and/or Paleo weight lifters who lose their menstrual cycle? What advice would you give them to get their cycle back? Especially for someone one who is trying to get pregnant. Would you suggest they up their carbs? Try to up their calorie intake? Would you suggest they exercise less, even though they might not seem to be over exercising to begin with? Or would you tell them to stop exercising all together? How long does it normally take a woman to get her cycle back once back on track? KAT ASKS:I am a 53 year old woman, basically healthy, active, but overweight. I want to lose fat, and keep my bones healthy. What do you think about taking Creatine? How do you feel about P90X and Insanity type DVD courses or can you recommend a diff | 4/12/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

12: The Fallacy Of Vegan/Vegetarian Diets | Denise Minger | AIR DATE: April 5, 2012 at 7PM ETFEATURED EXPERT: Denise MingerFEATURED TOPIC: “The Fallacy Of Vegan/Vegetarian Diets” Who within the Paleo/low-carb health blogosphere doesn't love the work that Denise Minger has done over the past few years? Little did she know when she created her "Raw Food SOS" blog that it would gain such a strong following thanks to a series of posts critically examining the claims made in the infamous T. Colin Campbell book The China Study touted by vegans and vegetarians as irrefutable evidence that a plant-based diet is optimal for human health. As a former vegan herself, Denise has a lot of compassion for the struggles they go through attempting to reconcile their personal convictions about not eating meat and the reality of what that is doing to their health. She's shared her story with me previously on "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show" podcast in Episode 405 and Episode 430. Now her debut book release entitled Death by Food Pyramid is set for late 2012 and if you haven't already read her China Study blog posts then they are an absolute MUST-READ! Denise knows all the arguments that vegans and vegetarians make for eating the way they do. But she also is abundantly aware of the flaws in logic that people who adhere to plant-based diets tend to succumb to. That's why she's here to help address the fallacy of the vegan/vegetarian way of eating and what might be a better option for them to improve their health. She will also be sharing more about this topic in her lecture on the upcoming 5th Annual Low-Carb Cruise in May 2012. If you have any questions about vegan/vegetarian diets that you would like for Denise Minger to address, then feel free to send it to me by 3PM ET this Thursday afternoon at AskTheLowCarbExperts@gmail.com.

He is the author of a number of popular books addressing these subjects, including Men's Health TNT Diet, co-author of The New Atkins For A New You with Dr. Stephen Phinney and Dr. Eric Westman and most recently The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living in 2011 with Dr. Phinney. I interviewed Dr. Volek in Episode 236 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show" podcast and I've personally heard him lecture at various obesity conferences over the years. He will be joining us on The 5th Annual Low-Carb Cruise in May 2012, but we are pleased to have him joining us to discuss a subject he has studied thoroughly over the past few years. Saturated fat is arguably the most misunderstood and maligned real food in the history of mankind and Dr. Volek can answer any and all questions you may have about how it impacts you metabolically. He is a real expert that we are privileged to have addressing this very important topic!

10: 'All Things Thyroid (Thyroid 101)' with Chris Kresser | AIR DATE: March 22, 2012 at 7PM ETFEATURED EXPERT: Chris KresserFEATURED TOPIC: “All Things Thyroid (Thyroid 101)” Licensed acupuncturist and integrative medicine practitioner Chris Kresser is one of the most highly-sought after voices of reason in the realm of health on the Internet today. He has personally been through the wringer with the traditional medical system as he shared with me in Episode 464 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show." But that set him on a quest to discover more about his own health by gathering and analyzing the medical research staying up-to-date on everything he could get his hands on. There are a lot of health myths that unfortunately pervade in the realm of health and Chris regularly addresses these on his highly popular ChrisKresser.com web site and wildly-popular Revolution Health Radio podcast. One area of specific interest to him is the subject of thyroid. Around 20 million Americans deal with some form of thyroid disease and yet it is left undiagnosed due to a variety of reasons. Yet there is a lot of confusion about thyroid conditions that we will hopefully have Chris help bring clarity to in this episode! LOW-CARB, GLUTEN-FREE CONDIMENTS MADE WITH STEVIVANOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: http://cmp.ly/3 Here are some of the questions we addressed in this podcast: Are there any dietary changes that will "treat" hypothyroid? There is a meme that has spread quickly to Paleo sites that low carb causes low T3, and is a cause of hypothyroidism. How can this be? My doc who treats hypothyroidism and insulin resistance had me do low carb, and it worked. How can low carb be both the cause and part of the solution? Someone has this wrong. What is going on? CRIS ASKS:I am a 53 year old female who had a Total Thyroidectomy four years ago due to thyroid cancer. My doctor keeps me just a smidgen "hyper" with Synthroid replacement medication to help the cancer not grow back. I have lost 50 pounds. In one year on a low carb diet, I feel great. But I have been stalled for two months now. I can't seem to lose any more weight. I need to lose 50 more. I know I need thyroid replacement meds but could this be the reason I can't seem to lose anymore? JENNIFER ASKS:Which is better--natural or synthetic thyroid hormone (like Synthroid) or a combination? PAUL ASKS:When I went zero carb Paleo, my T3 dropped out of the range and I needed to take antibiotics for a mouth abscess. I resumed carbs and gained back the weight I lost. I am now trying to drive down the carbs again. What can I do to ensure that my T3 remains ok. I am hypothyroid (take 100T4 + 20T3) and I was assessed a few years back by a former family doctor as having low adrenal function. Are adrenal and thyroid metabolism related and can a low adrenal state lead to a low T3? REGINA ASKS:What is your opinion of Jack Kruse's Leptin Reset Rx and Cold Thermogenesis on the thyroid? LAUREN ASKS:I underwent a total thyroidectomy in January of 2006 following a thyroid cancer diagnosis and will be on replacement T4 (Synthroid) for the rest of my life. Are there any modifications that those of us without a thyroid need to keep in mind when following a Paleo diet? JOSH ASKS:My wife had about 90% of her thyroid removed several years ago after undergoing a thyroid storm and goiter. She's on levothyroxin and we've switched over to a Paleo diet about two years ago, and she's pretty good with adherence, especially when it comes to avoiding wheat and grains. One of my real concerns is with her long term bone health due to the thyroid removal. She currently takes anywhere from 2000mg to 3500 mg of calcium each day to combat calcium loss from her bones. She takes 5000 IU of D3 daily, as well as K2 to help with proper absorption. Her blood calcium levels are usually high, but if she doesn't take the oral supplements she gets pain in her hands, wrists, and other joints. What supplements would you recommend for proper calcium absorption? What are some good blood markers you'd l | 3/22/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

9: ‘All Things Calories (Calories 101)’ | Mat Lalonde | Harvard research biochemist Mat Lalonde has a rather interesting take on the Paleo diet from the role of an organic chemist. Lauded for bringing skepticism about the claims of ancestral living to light, Mat is a really smart guy who pushes the boundaries of thinking outside of our own little online communities to see the bigger picture. He was a guest in Episode 419 of my “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show” podcast and we’re pleased to have him address a subject matter that he knows quite a bit about: CALORIES! Mat is a big believer in food quality over food quantity and that eating until you are full is possible on a weight loss plan. This is sure to be one of the most popular episodes we’ve aired to date! GET BEN GREENFIELD’S ‘LOW-CARB DIET FOR TRIATHLETES’:NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: http://cmp.ly/3Here’s the column on calories Jimmy referenced at the beginning of the show:“What’s Really Making Us Fat?” by Kristin Wartman in the March 8, 2012 issue of The Atlantic Here are some of the questions we addressed in this podcast: ANGELA ASKS:Is there a point where your body gets too comfortable with a low-carb diet and too used to burning fat for fuel, that you need to watch your calories as well as your carbs in order to lose weight? I had a great success on Atkins in the first months, losing 13 kgs, then nothing else since then, unless I lower my calories. DON ASKS:On a recent ATLCX show I heard Mark Sisson say that he believed if you are taking in enough nutrients and fat in your diet to maintain your current weight that you probably wouldn’t gain weight but that if your goal was to lose fat that you needed to create a calorie deficit. Mat, what is your take on this? There seems to be a lot of disagreement on this subject. SUSAN ASKS:Is it true that there’s no scientific evidence that 3500 calories = 1 lb? Where did this stat originate from? Why is it not relevant for weight loss if this stat isn’t true? I would love to have an answer for those who still regard this as the holy grail of weight loss. MIKE ASKS:What are your thoughts on the food reward theory and the idea that weight and health management is really “all about the calories.” I think it’s rubbish but I’d like to hear Mat’s take. It seems that many Paleo folks are abandoning low-carb as a legitimate nutritional approach. LISA ASKS:If you eat too low of calories, will that send you into “starvation mode” and stall your weight loss? JAMIE ASKS:One of the biggest chains of women’s workout centers is Curves and they claim you will “Burn up to 500 calories in 30 minutes.” Just how accurate would you say calorie estimates are for exercise machines and programs? WALLY ASKS:You have made the remark that the human body is not a calorimeter. In what ways, if any, are food kilo-calories relevant to optimal health? SUSAN ASKS:Is there an ideal percentage of your calories that should come from carbs, fats and proteins? BEN ASKS:Mat once mentioned how intermittent fasting causes an increase in the “fight of flight” response. Is this still true for a person that is well adapted to intermittent fasting and can go 16+ hours without any desire or hunger for food? And if it’s still true, would something like a piece of fruit be enough to negate the stress issue? MICHAEL ASKS:Before I ran across Paleo, I was looking into calorie restriction, which naturally I didn’t even attempt to comply with. In your estimation, do you think the science shows there is an advantage to modest calorie restriction when already eating cleanly? Do you believe all the benefit of calorie restriction can be retained by clean eating and intermittent fasting? Where does protein sparing fasting fit in? | 3/8/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

8: ‘What Questions Should I Ask My (Non-Low-Carb Friendly) Doc?’ | Dr. Mary Vernon | AIR DATE: March 1, 2012 at 7PM ETFEATURED EXPERT: Dr. Mary VernonFEATURED TOPIC: “What Questions Should I Ask My (Non-Low-Carb Friendly) Doc?” Famed low-carb clinician Dr. Mary Vernon, MD is the co-author of Atkins Diabetes Revolution with Jackie Eberstein, RN (who was our very first guest in Episode 1 of ATLCX). She is a Past President of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians. Dr. Vernon is well-known amongst her medical professional peers as an expert on the therapeutic use of low-carb ketogenic diets on patients to treat a variety of health issues, including diabetes and metabolic syndrome. She is the CEO of Innovative Metabolic Solutions which seeks to educate her fellow physicians and medical professionals on how to use science-based modalities with patients. Dr. Vernon has a heart for arming doctors with practical ways to implement low-carb diets where they are necessary for improving key health markers. What better expert could we have to address what questions you should be asking your (non-low-carb friendly) doctor than her! Here are some of the questions we addressed in this podcast: KELLY ASKS:My frustration with doctors is they spout the conventional “wisdom” of the food pyramid or MyPlate or whatever it is now, but yet when it doesn’t work for me they say I’m just not trying hard enough – which is without a doubt not true. So I guess my question would be – If something isn’t working, wouldn’t it be smart to try something else? And really – where are the medical studies that back up that a low fat diet is better for my health? Where are the studies that correlate fat = heart disease? If I lose weight (even if it’s a small amount) and feel better and have lower blood sugar on a low-carb diet, then shouldn’t I stick to something that’s working? And is it so wrong that I want to be personally involved in my health enough that I HAVE done research and have looked up the studies and that I might actually have a working knowledge of what is best for my body? CONRAD ASKS:I am currently in the process of looking for a new Doctor (already checked http://lowcarbdoctors.blogspot.com/) What questions can I ask before visiting to find out if they might support a low carb lifestyle, other than the obvious “Do you support low-carb, high-fat diets?” I have read that I should make sure they perform and understand a VAP instead of standard cholesterol test. Are there any other tests or procedures I should be aware of and ask for? KATHY ASKS:I just got my lab work back from my doctor and my total cholesterol was 249 with LDL at 171 and my sugar at 103. That’s basically all he said and then of course, “I’d like to start you on a low dose statin, keep eating a low carb, low cholesterol diet”. The cholesterol is up a little and so is the LDL from 6 months ago. I am not a diabetic and have never had problem with that. I wanted him to run an NMR. My doctor called me and had absolutely no idea what the NMR Lipoprofile test was even after I gave him the CPT code. Then he went on to say “size doesn’t really matter and thats for HDL, not LDL. And if I went to any hospital they wouldn’t know what an NMR test was.” So, he is having me do a VAP profile test. He said, “elevated LDL is bad no matter what the size.” Mine isn’t horrible for a women without a risk factor, but it keeps going up. Any suggestions? MIKE ASKS:How do you have a conversation with your doctor about putting you on a statin drug with and HDL of 75 and triglycerides of 80 when your LDL is 225? I got these numbers in a blood test at my doctor’s office after consuming a low-carb diet. KATHY ASKS:How should patients deal with doctors who want to follow the guidelines put out by a group like the American Heart Association or American Diabetes Association if that association’s guidelines aren’t in keeping with our own opinions of current best evidence or even n=1 experiments we’ve done on ourselves?

7: 'The Long-Term Effects Of The High-Carb SAD Diet' | Dr. Cate Shanahan | AIR DATE: February 23, 2012 at 7PM ETFEATURED EXPERT: Dr. Cate ShanahanFEATURED TOPIC: "The Long-Term Effects Of The High-Carb SAD Diet" Nutrition-minded physician Dr. Cate Shanahan, MD is the author of two truly fantastic books entitled Deep Nutrition and Food Rules and looks at treating patients with quite a different perspective than most traditionally-trained medical doctors. She is a board certified Family Physician who trained in biochemistry and genetics at Cornell University before attending Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She practiced in Hawaii for ten years where she studied ethnobotany and her healthiest patient’s culinary habits. She's a big believer in hormone regulation and the impact diet plays on it and did a fantastic job answering YOUR questions related to the long-term effects of eating a SAD diet on your hormones. Can't make it to PaleoFX or AHS12? Check out the "Paleo Summit":LowCarbPaleoSummit.comNOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: http://cmp.ly/3 Here are some of the questions we addressed in this podcast: MIKE ASKS:I have low testosterone for years. I tried androgel with little increase in my testosterone. The next step would have been weekly injections which I would like to avoid. How does diet effect testosterone levels and all of the insidious problems that go along with low testosterone like low energy and abdominal fat? JAMIE ASKS:What creates a greater health risk: sustained high blood sugars or sustained high (total) cholesterol? KIM ASKS:I have found that if I eat before 5pm, I will become very tired for the next 2 hours and have low energy for the rest of the day. If I don't eat until after 5, the food gives me energy and I feel fine for the balance of the day. I have a chronic fatigue problem - some form of hypersomnia - and the after-5 trick has helped me cope for the last half year. I switched to a Paleo diet like you recommend about 2 months ago, but with more grains - mostly fermented whole grains. That has helped, but I still have to stick to the after-5 rule. Why does it help? BRYAN ASKS:I have eaten low carb for around 3 years and lost 80 pounds. For the past 8 months about every 6 weeks I take a weekend where I eat way off program including a lot of junk food. I don't really plan it every six weeks but the way holidays and things have fallen it has seemed to work out in that time frame. I usually gain about 8-10 pounds and it takes about 4 weeks to get rid of it. Will this kind of routine keep low-carb from eventually working for me? Could it do any kind of damage to my metabolism and if so what? I really do plan on stopping this off and on again stuff someday. I hope I have not ruined my metabolism. MARYANN ASKS:I was wondering if Dr. Cate's way of eating is better for everyone no matter what their problems. I know it is better than the SAD diet but is vegetarian or vegan better for hemochromatosis? SCOTT ASKS:I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 15 and was taking insulin injections for 6 years (3 times a day) and eating a high-carbohydrate diet and really did nothing to try to control blood glucose levels with nutrition or exercise. I was able to eventually get off the insulin, drop a lot of weight and as of now, I am very lean and have no signs or symptoms of diabetes. My question is this: Did the diet I ate, and more specifically the excess insulin I pumped into my system, which I now know is a system that is not artificial insulin-dependent, do permanent metabolic damage that I may never reverse? I am now 28 and have been in great shape for 3 years. What possible long-term effects could I still have from the previous 25 years of abuse? JENNY ASKS:Why do my hormone levels come back “normal” if I show symptoms of hormonal dysregulation? I have PCOS with abdominal fat, hirsuitism, and a touch of hair loss. MIKE ASKS:In your book Deep Nutrition you say, paraphrasing, "Trans fat consumption interferes with hormone expression and daily infusions of sugar interferes with h | 2/23/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Chris is the author of five publications in peer-reviewed journals, including a letter to the editor of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology criticizing the conclusions of a widely publicized study about the effect of saturated fat on blood vessel function, and letter to the editor of the American Heart Journal arguing that the effect of cholesterol ester transfer protein inhibitors on vitamin E metabolism should be studied before these drugs are deemed safe for preventing heart disease, a hypothesis published in Medical Hypotheses about the molecular mechanism of vitamin D toxicity and the involvement of vitamins A and K in this mechanism, a pilot study in humans suggesting that vitamin E protects against some of the negative effects of sugar consumption published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, and a review published in Nutrition Reviews about the potential for green tea to prevent or treat nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases. Chris Masterjohn has thoroughly studied the impact of cholesterol on your health and the answers he has discovered might just surprise you. If you have questions about cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and more then this is the podcast for you. Here are some of the questions Chris addressed in this podcast: DARREL ASKS:My cholesterol has been high for quite a while. I was previously on Lipitor which made me feel pretty bad (old and feeble even though I’m neither) so I quit. This week my doctor got back my blood work and noticed my number was high (295) and insisted I go back on Lipitor. He said I was a ‘heart attack brewing’. I don’t want to and need some ammunition. Point me in the right direction. MARK ASKS:I have a senior lady that her doctor has recommended her to take statins for a while. She doesn’t want to go on them, and her doctor just ran an Lp(a) test and hers was at 80. I seem to recall that statins don’t really affect Lp(a) and it’s mostly genetic. I’m not sure of her triglyceride/HDL ratio at this time, but should she be worried? Seems that Lp(a) is only an issue if you have heart disease or a lot of inflammation. JOHN ASKS: http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/early/2011/05/18/db11-0085 Question: Is MGmin LDL the silver bullet of atherosclerosis? I’ve read suggestions that small, dense LDL is the killer, but I see studies suggesting that large, fluffy LDL can also be atherogenic. JAMIE ASKS:In some countries (like Australia) you cannot get your cholesterol measured down to “small dense” and “large fluffy”. They only measure the basics, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL and Total cholesterol. From these numbers, is there a good ratio to indicate good health versus poor health? SHARON ASKS:My husband has high cholesterol which is made worse by another necessary medication he takes. Triglycerides were over 700; he is taking very high doses of statins, bring it to 600; We started Paleo (no sugars; no grains; full-fat dairy and meats) and blood results after two weeks showed them at 199. Is this possible to have such a dramatic change so quickly from this diet? If followup blood work shows continued improvement, what is the number that would get his doctor to take him off of the statins?

5: ‘Ketosis: Devil or Angel?’ | Mark Sisson | AIR DATE: February 9, 2012 at 7PM ETFEATURED EXPERT: Mark SissonFEATURED TOPIC: “Ketosis: Devil or Angel?” Episode 5 of “Jimmy Moore Presents: Ask The Low-Carb Experts” featuresMark Sisson who is the man behind the wildly popular “Mark’s Daily Apple” blog and the author of several health books focused on primal/Paleo/low-carb living, including his bestselling 2009 release The Primal Blueprint: Reprogram Your Genes for Effortless Weight Loss, Vibrant Health, and Boundless Energy as well as several cookbooks. He has been critically acclaimed for challenging many flawed elements of conventional wisdom about diet and exercise. Sisson’s “Primal” theme encourages us to reconnect with our hunter-gatherer ancestral roots by eating natural plant and animal foods, getting plenty of low-level daily activity interspersed with occasional brief, intense exercise, and engaging in lifestyle behaviors that balance the stress of hectic modern life. Sisson was one of the world’s most versatile and accomplished endurance athletes, with a 2:18 marathon to his credit and a fourth place finish in the Hawaii Ironman World Triathlon Championships. He also served as the first anti-doping leader of the International Triathlon Union and consulted internationally for the International Olympic Committee on endurance training, nutritional supplementation, and the effects of performance enhancing drugs on athletes. He is the founder and president of Primal Nutrition, Inc. a Malibu, CA-based supplement company. Sisson lives in Malibu with his gorgeous wife and two teenage children. Mark has studied nutrition very closely over the years and is pretty astute at articulating information from the scientific research on diet and health. One specific area of expertise he possesses is on the controversial subject of ketone bodies. He does a fabulous job addressing the nonsense that ketosis is merely “smelly breath” and goes much deeper into what the purpose of ketone bodies in the body. This is a BIG TOPIC in the low-carb community and Mark Sisson does an excellent job addressing YOUR questions. Here are the questions about ketosis Mark addresses: GINA ASKS:Is it better, when testing for ketones, if the stick is very dark vs. lighter. In other words, is better to have more ketones? Or is any level of ketosis adequate? CHRISTINE ASKS:How do you explain to someone in the medical field that ketosis is not a bad thing? I was talking to my sister who is in the medical field and it seems that she along with a lot of other medical professionals who should know the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis don’t. They automatically assume that ketosis and ketoacidosis are both bad. How do you explain the difference to them when they should already know the difference? KELLY ASKS:When I am in Ketosis – how do I know if the ketosis is from stored body fat or from excess fat that I may be eating? Is there a certain level of fat per day (in grams or a %) that I should aim for at to ensure my ketosis is from stored body fat (and not eating too much fat). CHARLES ASKS:I’ve always been taught that ketones could only be produced if you eat around 50g of carb or less. But I’ve seen on your site that you think eating less than 50g could lead to unnecessary deprivation of plant foods. Could you elaborate on this? CARY ASKS:How long does it normally take a body to get adapted to using ketones for energy? I keep starting over (VLC – around 30-40/day) because I feel like a slug for a month and just can’t take it. Now I read it can take longer than that to actually get your body adapted to using ketones for energy well? I need to lose about 75 pounds and have ZERO energy for exercise. JAMIE ASKS:Is ketosis really necessary for most people to lose weight? Are there any negative health consequences (kidneys, brain function, hypoglycemia, bone and eye health or constipation) to being in ketosis for an extended period of weeks, mo | 2/10/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

4: ‘How To Improve Cardio-Metabolic Health’ | Dr. Fred Pescatore | AIR DATE: February 2, 2012 at 7PM ETFEATURED EXPERT: Dr. Fred PescatoreFEATURED TOPIC: “How To Improve Cardio-Metabolic Health” Episode 4 of “Jimmy Moore Presents: Ask The Low-Carb Experts” features Dr. Fred Pescatore, M.D. who is the author of several nutritional health books, including the New York Times bestselling book The Hampton’s Diet among many others. He is a traditionally trained physician who practices nutritional medicine and is internationally recognized as a health, nutrition and weight loss expert. You may have seen him as an expert nutrition contributor on The Rachael Ray Show and he is currently on the editorial board of US weekly magazine as well as a regular contributor to In Touch, First for Women and Women’s World magazines. Dr. Pescatore also has a masters degree in public health and is deeply involved in the philanthropic community devoting his time working in hospitals in Tanzania, while also helping to support organizations in the United States. Prior to opening his own medical practice, he was the Associate Medical Director of The Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine working closely with the late great Dr. Robert C. Atkins for five years. His extensive knowledge of the role nutrition play in improving both metabolic and cardiovascular health make him an excellent expert to call upon to address this week’s issue. MEET JIMMY MOORE AT PALEOFX IN AUSTIN, TX ON MARCH 14-17, 2012: Here are some of the questions Dr. Pescatore addressed in Episode 4: BILL ASKS:We know that chia and flax seeds are okay for low-carbers because they do not raise blood sugar. But are there any other metabolic disadvantages to consuming them? I eat 2 Tbs chia seed gel a day with stevia, cocoa powder and blueberries and I wonder if I am harming myself metabolically. KATHY ASKS:Why do you think congestive heart failure is such a common admitting diagnosis these days? Is it the increased use of statins and perhaps CoQ10 deficiency? Or is it related in some way to the increases in chronic respiratory disease like COPD? Are there different reasons in different countries? TOM ASKS:I am 34 years old and I have been eating processed foods and junk foods my whole life. I am sure I have a fair amount of insulin resistance going on, as well as some significant muscle atrophy. I am wondering, one, if my heart could have atrophied as well? Also, now that I am 100% Paleo, how can I work on reversing the atrophies and two, what steps should I take to start rebuilding my body now that I am keeping my carb intake minimal? I am concerned about how slow I should start with exercise until I can be certain my heart is strong enough and my insulin sensitivity is adequate to start building muscle. MARYANN ASKS:I would appreciate it if you could have Dr. Pescatore talk about atrial fibrillation. It is something I have occasionally but I never hear it discussed. Can low-carb or Paleo eating help it? JAMIE ASKS:Dr. Pescatore, your books span weight loss for adults as well as asthma and weight loss for kids. Regarding the relationship between what we eat, our metabolism and inflammation, is there an eating style that is less inflammatory for most people, less likely to create heart problems for adults and possible reduce asthma suffering for children? PETER ASKS:What does Dr. Pescatore think that about someone with hypertension watching their dietary salt intake and how can people tweak their diet to help get their blood pressure numbers down? I’ve had premature ventricular contractions for many years. They seem to be more frequent now that I am 40 years old. Is this a cause for concern and can PVCs be treated through diet and lifestyle changes? FRAN ASKS:It seems that discussions of heart issues are actually only about cardiovascular factors and rhythm disturbance is ignored. The same advice to take statins and eat low-fat is given in both cases. A few weeks ago while we were attending a church service my husband collap | 2/2/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

3: ‘Healthy Whole Grains?’ | Dr. William Davis | Episode 3 of “Jimmy Moore Presents: Ask The Low-Carb Experts” features Dr. William Davis, M.D. who is the author of the New York Times bestselling book Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health. Dr. Davis is a preventive cardiologist whose unique approach to nutrition (that is unlike what most of his fellow heart doctors are using) allows him to advocate for reversal, not just prevention, of heart disease. He is the founder of the Track Your Plaque program and lives in the state of Wisconsin. Dr. Davis has been on the cusp of identifying the key causes of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease for well over a decade with his examination into the negative impact of consuming “healthy whole grains” that became the central focus of his long-awaited book released in August 2011. Dr. Davis was a special guest speaker on The 3rd Annual Low-Carb Cruise discussing his work promoting heart health through prevention with the use of an inexpensive CT Heart Scan test and he will be one of the featured guest speakers on the May 2012 Low-Carb Cruise sharing more about this in a lecture entitled “The Great Whole Grain Caper.” But he’s gonna be with us here on ATLCX and your questions are invited and welcomed! Here are some of the questions we addressed in this episode: REESE ASKS:I would love to know from Dr William Davis what his thoughts are on grains other than wheat e.g. 100% rye or spelt bread. Does he think that these are as harmful as wheat? I would also like to know if he knows anything about wheat production/modification in parts of the world other than the USA. I am from Sydney Australia and don’t know if our wheat is just as modified and dangerous. PETER ASKS:I’d like to ask Dr. William Davis if he knows of other doctors who agree with him about wheat and its harmful effects on health, or is he a “lone crusader”? KATHY ASKS:I intellectually accept and agree with everything in your book and have stopped eating wheat (all grains) a couple of years ago. But it’s hard to stay motivated when eating wheat does not give me any symptom that I can feel or see. If a person has no symptoms — please explain the adverse effects that may be happening anyway. Or do they take many years to show up? TORI ASKS:I’ve heard from people like Elizabeth Hasselbeck that only 5% of the population has a wheat sensitivity and yet there are others like Dr. Daniel Chong who say that it is near 85%. I would love to hear Dr. Davis’ thoughts on this. KIM ASKS:Thank Dr. Davis for the great work you did on Wheat Belly. It was a fascinating read, and it has helped me better understand why avoiding wheat (especially modern wheat) is optimal. My question is about rice. I eat a primal diet that includes a small amount of white rice from time to time (no more than 1 cup cooked per week). I have a few friends that eat more of a WAPF diet and enjoy soaked brown rice as part of their diet. They tell me that soaking the brown rice removes a lot of the anti-nutrients, making soaked brown rice a healthier alternative to white rice because it contains fiber and other nutrients. I’m just wondering, if properly/traditionally prepared, whether or not brown rice would be a better option than white rice in those rare occasions I indulge in eating this grain. SARAH ASKS:I’ve always struggled with my weight and food addiction. The only eating plan that has ever been successful for me has been one that eliminates whole grains, sugar, and the other “bad stuff”. Although my blood pressure was never “high”, I always noticed a drop in my BP once I recommitted to a low-carb eating plan. Fast forward to last July. My BP had been running high (140s/90s) for most of the year. I weighed the most I’d ever weighed (279lb at 5’3.75″ tall), so I finally kicked myself in the backside and recommitted to a low-carb, grain-free eating plan. My blood pressure didn’t drop. By September, I was noticing an irr | 1/26/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
