LowCarbUSA PodcastStruggle Giving Up Bread And Chips?

LowCarbUSA PodcastMeditation - Stress Less, Accomplish MoreI was introduced to Emily Fletcher by Robb Wolf after I was talking with him about my issues with traumatic brain injury and he said the Ziva meditation method that Emily has developed totally changed his life. He describes it now as Life Before Ziva and Life After Ziva.

About a year ago, however, he became aware of the potential of reversing type 2 diabetes by restricting carbohydrates in the diet.

We talk to her about her new book, and movie, Sacred Cow. The book goes into great detail about the science behind her rigorous defense of the beef industry with respect to the animal cruelty argument, the fear mongering around red meat causing cancer, cow farts (well belches, actually) destroying the environment and also the sustainability aspect. The movie could never cover most of what is covered in the book and so focuses mainly on the sustainability component. She was actually just wor...2021-03-0939 min

They wanted medical practitioners who were using therapeutic carbohydrate deduction as an intervention in their practice to feel comfortable recommending it to their patients to use as a convenient replacement to take to work, or to somewhere where they did not think a keto option would be available, or even just if they didn't feel like cooking. They formed a board of advisors from many of...2021-02-0915 min
LowCarbUSA PodcastNick Norwitz Finds Keto, Solves Severe Colitis, Becomes an AdvocateEdit: an apology form Nick - "Apologies to everyone. At 34:30 I made a false statement when I said HMG-CoA reductase inhibition could inhibit ketone production directly. It is not the RLE in ketogenesis. There are indirect mechanisms potentially at play, but that enzyme is downstream of the divergence point in ketone and cholesterol metabolism. I was questioning the thought as it came to mind and regret the impulsive speculation. My sincerest apologies. That's embarrassing." What a treat to spend some time with Nick Norwitz PhD. He just graduated from Oxford with a PhD in neuro-metabolism and now h...2021-01-261h 06

LowCarbUSA PodcastBen Bikman - What is Insulin Resistance, Really?What a fascinating discussion with Dr. Ben Bikman about what Insulin Resistance really means. He makes this statement towards the end but I would like to highlight it right here at the start, "We should be studiously avoiding dogmatic thinking and constantly be checking what we think we know, lest we become that which we have grown to despise in those who are very antagonistic towards a low carb diet." There has been quite lot of chatter around recently about what it means and whether or not Insulin Sensitivity is something we should be striving for or no...2020-12-2340 min

LowCarbUSA PodcastReal Hope For Many Cancer Patients - Dr. Lewis CantleyDr. Lewis Cantley has made significant advances in cancer research stemming from his discovery of the signalling pathway phosphoinositide 3-kinase (Pi3K) in 1984. It is an enzyme that mediates pretty much everything that insulin does, in the liver, in the fat cells, and it mediates the lowering of serum glucose levels because it drives glucose into the muscle, AND into tumours. Since tumours thrive on glucose, they thought to develop a Pi3 Kinase inhibitor in order to try to treat tumours but the inhibitor resulted in startling rises in blood glucose levels. In order to manage this th...2020-04-2825 min
