Dr. Helen Hilts uses low-carb at DiabeVita to treat diabetes
A diagnosis of diabetes for most people immediately conjures up thoughts of a slow, miserable death sentence. It can be quite upsetting for people who feel so helpless about what to do when they are branded with the "d" word, but as you and I well know this disease (specifically Type 2) can be controlled through the use of a deliberate carbohydrate-restricted nutritional plan. And while the American Diabetes Association (ADA) may not recognize this proven and effective way to control blood sugar and insulin levels, thankfully we have people in the medical profession who are treating patients with a low-carb diet. Today we have one such physician who is a strong personal proponent of livin' la vida low-carb.
In Episode 303 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore," we hear from a Scottsdale, AZ-based family medicine physician named Dr. Helen Hilts who opened up a brand new diabetes clinic in August 2009 that uses low-carb diets to help patients called DiabeVita. Although she was a diabetes educator for many years, it wasn't until her own personal diagnosis with Type 2 diabetes that she began doing serious research on any dietary means for treating this condition -- and it led her to the work of the great low-carb diabetes champion Dr. Richard Bernstein.
Tune in to this half-hour podcast to hear Dr. Hilts discuss her personal story about how she got interested in the low-carb approach to treating diabetes, the impact of Dr. Bernstein on her, what she used to recommend to patients with diabetes, why the ADA refuses to recommend low-carb diets, sample menus that include "no roots, no fruit, no grains, no milk," what the name DiabeVita means, why carbohydrate cravings are more difficult for diabetics to overcome than most, why total calories consumed are not as important as carb control, what is so misunderstood about Type 2 diabetes, and the tremendous example that both Dr. Bernstein and Dr. Mary C. Vernon have been to the development of her diabetes practice. It's always encouraging to hear from yet another doctor who gets it and I hope you will spread the word to your friends in Arizona who could stand to benefit from the work of Dr. Hilts!

LLVLC On YouTube (Episode 82): Zero Net Carb Bagels From HealthWise Bakery
HealthWise Bakery makes some truly delicious zero net carb bagels
While it can be a lot more difficult to find good quality foods to add to your healthy low-carb lifestyle, I'm always on the lookout for new ones you may not have heard about before. In recent weeks I've been sharing with you about several low-carb products that I've personally tried, enjoyed, and wanted to share with you like Yes! To Cookies, Truvia, and Dreamfields pasta. I am inundated with requests to try new products every single day, but only the best ones that pass my own personal lofty standards of a very extensive vetting process are shared on my sites. That's why I'm pleased to tell you about another fabulous low-carb product today.
In Episode 82 of "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb On YouTube", Christine and I tell you about HealthWise Bakery Net Zero Carb Bagels from our friends at Linda's Diet Delites. These moist and delicious bagels contain just 90 calories, 2g fat, 14g carbohydrates which are all dietary fiber, and 12g protein in each bagel! Although they are low in fat, these bagels can be made perfect with some butter, cream cheese, and any other low-carb toppings you'd like to put on them as you will see in our video.

If you have enjoyed and benefitted from the many interviews I have conducted with the best and brightest experts on the subject of diet, fitness, and health, then consider helping keep the show going by clicking on the DONATE button on the official podcast web site. We are privileged to have literally tens of thousands who already listen faithfully to each episode, but there is a sea of people floating around out there who NEED to be exposed to the message of this podcast.

We appreciate all of your wonderful support for "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore" and look forward to continuing it for many more years to come.
Dr. Thomas Seyfried is the premier researcher of ketogenic diets for brain cancer
Cancer is a word none of us ever wants to hear when describing the health of themselves or a loved one. There's a lot of controversy surrouding what kind of nutritional approach is ideal for preventing and treating cancer despite the fact there is a body of evidence supporting a calorie-restricted, high-fat, ketogenic low-carb dietary regimen. That's one of the reasons why I included an chapter in my upcoming new book 21 Life Lessons from Livin' La Vida Low-Carb on this particular subject because the message is too important for people to miss. I includ some of the best research being done on various cancers in my book, including brain cancer which is field of interest being examined by today's podcast interview guest.
In Episode 302 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore," we hear from Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a researcher from Boston College who runs the Seyfried Laboratory dedicated specifically to taking a closer look at such diseases as epilepsy and brain cancer. I first heard about Dr. Seyfried's work in February 2007 when he released this study published in the journal Nutrition & Metabolism that showed how a restricted high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet was the best way to fight cancer cells that are causing life-threatening tumors in mice. I've been attempting to get him on my podcast for a while for an interview and it was well worth the wait!
You'll hear Dr. Seyfried talk about his original interest in the subject of ketogenic diets for epilepsy when he was at Yale University (and the lack of interest in them at the time), how a ketogenic shrinks brain tumors, the details of his KetoCal study, the controversy over using mice instead of humans in his study, what "calorie-restriction" translates from mice to humans, why a 400-500 calorie, ketogenic diet will make you "metabolically healthy," whether a ketogenic diet is useful on other cancers, why the ketogenic diet is a "non-toxic approach to the management of cancer," the best diet to eat for the prevention of cancer, and why a 7-10 day distilled water-only fast annually is the best way to ward off cancers of all types.
Click here to listen to this half-hour interview with Dr. Thomas Seyfried that is chock full of some of the most compelling research on cancer you've ever heard! ENJOY!

The LLVLC Show #301: Dr. Bryan Walsh And His 'Fat Is Not Your Fault' Program
ARE YOU A LLVLC PODCAST SUPERFAN? If you are, then we need your help in finding out who the best of the best interview guests were in 2009. Week after week I have the distinct honor and privilege to speak with some of the biggest names in diet, health, and nutrition and I need your help deciding which ones you thought were the cream of the crop to honor during a special "Encore Week" of brand new shows coming up in January 2010. Send me an e-mail with your THREE absolute favorite LLVLC interview guests from 2009 along with any specific follow-up questions you would like for me to ask them along with a brief explanation about why you are voting for them to livinlowcarbman@charter.net. Nominations will be accepted through November 30, 2009, but get back with me on this ASAP so I can begin following up with the highest vote getters. So far there have been a couple of names that have risen to the top, but I want to hear from a lot more of you who enjoy the show. Keep in mind that in order to be eligible the interviews must have taken place in the 2009 calendar year and the "Encore Week" guests who comprised the best of 2008 are not eligible. THANK YOU for helping me compile your favorite podcast guests of 2009!
Dr. Bryan Walsh explains why he believes being fat is NOT your fault
Conventional wisdom tells us that if you are walking around as an overweight or obese person, then you are just too lazy, undisciplined, and stupid to know how to lose weight. But how many people do you know (yourself included) who no matter how much you cut your calories, exercise your butt off at the gym, and do everything 100% like you are supposed to do with all the willpower and gumption in the world who can't shed the pounds no matter what they do? Is it possible there could be some underlying issues going on that can keep what would otherwise be a successful strategy for weight loss? Today's podcast interview guest says a resounding YES and is here to help identify many of the barriers standing in the way of fat loss.
In Episode 301 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore," we hear from a Maryland-based naturopathic physician named Dr. Bryan Walsh who has a web site that has raised some eyebrows called "Fat Is Not Your Fault." Dr. Walsh understands there are certain issues that can stand in the way of a patient finding success. Listen to him discuss in this interview why he came up with the name of his web site, why the Atkins diet is considered "extreme," how customizing your diet to your individual needs is best, the four reason why fat loss can be challenging, the blood sugar connection to weight loss, the primary differences between hypoglycemia and insulin resistance, why you can suddenly wake up in the middle of the night when you have a blood sugar disorder, why medical specialties focus too narrowly on individual causes of health symptoms, how you can elevate insulin without eating anything, the power of thinking yourself into what you want to be, why some people are absorbing more calories than they consume, the tests that are essential for examining your current state of health, why he has concerns about the recommendations to take high doses of Vitamin D, why when your doctor says your blood work is "fine" you shouldn't be happy about it, and so much more!
Click here to listen to a man who is obviously quite knowledgeable about healthy living and you'll enjoy hearing him talk about this subject he is obviously head-over-heels about. ENJOY!

Health advocate Dr. Jonny Bowden turns the tables on me with an interview
It's almost hard to believe that it has been three full years since I started my podcast show and when I look back at how this show has evolved over the years, I just marvel at just how huge my "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show" has become since it began in October 2006. When my producer Kevin Kennedy-Spaien invited me to become a part of a brand new health podcast collaboration at the time called "The Health Hacks Podcast" (now defunct), I didn't have any experience doing anything like this before other than a little work in Christian radio back in the 1990s. As we shared during last year's 200th episode, it has been an interesting journey to create my own show and today we celebrate yet another major milestone -- 300 EPISODES!
In Episode 300 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore," I am privileged to have the great Dr. Jonny Bowden, author of two upcoming book releases in January 2010 including The Most Effective Ways to Live Longer and Living Low Carb: Controlled-Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss, come in as a special guest interviewer to do something a little bit different -- he interviewed ME for a change! Hear Jonny ask about my low-carb weight loss success story, the reasons why I have become such a crusader for health, who some of the most memorable podcast interview guests have been, what the barriers are to getting the truth out there, and a sneak peek into my upcoming new book 21 Life Lessons from Livin' La Vida Low-Carb. It was such a neat switcheroo to be on the other end of the interview conversation and I think you'll enjoy it!

The LLVLC Show #299: 'The Diet Diva" Tara Gidus Tells Us All About Truvia
ATTENTION LLVLC PODCAST FANS! In 2009, I've been able to interview some of the biggest names in diet, health, and nutrition and I need your help deciding which ones you thought were the best of the best. Just as we did with the best of 2008 during our special "Encore Week" presentation in January, we're gonna do it again in the first week of 2010 with the best of 2009. E-mail me your TOP THREE favorite interview guests from 2009 along with any follow-up questions you would like for me to ask them and why you are voting for them to livinlowcarbman@charter.net. I will be taking nominations through November 30, 2009 so I can follow-up with your five most-requested podcast guests. Think back through who you REALLY liked and want to hear more from and then send me their names and any follow-up questions you'd like for me to ask them. This was so much fun last year and I can't wait to see who you want to hear more from!
"The Diet Diva" Tara Gidus shares about the Truvia sweetener
More and more people are beginning to catch on to the need for finding healthy alternatives to sugar. We all know the deleterious effects that sugar has on our bodies by raising our blood sugar and insulin levels which wreak havoc inside the body. That's why it's good to know there are adequate substitutes out there and they just keep getting better. My podcast interview guest today shares more about the most exciting new one to hit the marketplace in recent memory.
In Episode 299 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore," we hear from registered dietitian Tara Gidus, aka "The Diet Diva," who tells us why the new stevia/erythritol-based all-natural sweetener in the green and white packets called Truvia. It's the first major stevia-based sweetener to come out on the market as part of a joint venture between The Coca-Cola Company and Cargill Foods as I first shared about in May 2007. In fact, I was privileged to taste Truvia for myself in New York City last summer and was immediately impressed by how good it looked and tasted. Tara tells us all about the benefits of adding Truvia to your diet, what really nasty ingredient is found in every other sweetener but not in Truvia, the various products that are currently using Truvia as a sweetener, the desire to have a bulk spoonable product, and why stevia took so long to get approved as a sweetener by the FDA.

LLVLC On YouTube (Episode 81): New Sugar-Free, Starch-Free, Gluten-Free, Zero Net Carb Yes! To Cookies
It's time to say Yes! To Cookies with this new low-carb product
One of my favorite things to do is highlight fresh, new and exciting low-carb products that I have found that you may not have heard about. While there is a lot of so-called "low-carb" products out there claiming to be good for people on carbohydrate-restricted diets, the truth is many of them don't even come close to the standard that I believe fits within the mold of low-carb living. But at the same time, there are some diamonds in the rough who have created some truly outstanding products and I'm proud to share one of those with you today. It's called Yes! To Cookies.
They come in Cocoa-licious and Strawberry-Banana Blitz flavors
In Episode 81 of "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb On YouTube", Christine and I are so pleased to tell you about an awesome new zero net carbs, stevia/erythritol-sweetened, sugar-free, starch-free, and even gluten-free cookie mix called Yes! To Cookies. I'm sure you've tried many of those "other" supposedly low-carb cookies out there, but this one is the real deal. If you like to bake cookies, then these mixes fit the bill for you. And the sky's the limit with recipe ideas as I share about one that I did in today's video.

The LLVLC Show #298: Joel Salatin And The Local Food Movement
ATTENTION LLVLC PODCAST FANS! In 2009, I've been able to interview some of the biggest names in diet, health, and nutrition and I need your help deciding which ones you thought were the best of the best.

Local farmer Joel Salatin shares about the bureaucracy of the food industry
I don't know when it started, but there is a growing dissatisfaction beginning to stir up among people about the quality of their food. That's why people are no longer happy with just settling for the selections available to them at their grocery stores and instead are turning to local farmers for delicious and nutritious pastured eggs, raw milk, grass-fed beef, and fresh organic produce. While the supermarkets are trying to take advantage of this growing trend by using selective adjectives in their stores, the truth is you can only get the good stuff by buying locally. My interview guest today is extremely passionate about this subject since it is his livelihood.
In Episode 298 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore," we hear from Virginia-based farmer Joel Salatin from Polyface Farms who was featured in Michael Pollan's incredible The Omnivore's Dilemma book as well as the stunning 2008 expository documentary Food, Inc. Joel grew up on a local farm and knows all the ins and outs of these dwindling national treasures to the fabric of American society. He has authored such compelling, thought-provoking books as Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal: War Stories From the Local Food Front and Holy Cows And Hog Heaven: The Food Buyer’s Guide To Farm Friendly Food and is enthusiastic about defending local food and all the benefits it provides compared with industrialized farms.
Listen to Joel share about the bureaucratic obstacles he faces each day to bring food to the market, why local food tends to be more expensive than food you purchase in the supermarket, why it is impossible for local grass-fed beef to be tainted with E. Coli, the battles he faces trying to bring real food to consumers who want it, his willingness to stand up to the "food police" who try to push him around, how the local food from local farmers trend is similar to the home-schooling movement, the government roadblocks to getting good quality food, why the healthcare "crisis" we are being told about right now is really a "diet" crisis, the work he is doing to "heal the land" of other local farms, and so much more. You can't help but sense the enthusiasm Joel has for this subject matter and I hope you are encouraged that local food is alive and well in the United States today!

My interview guest today is extremely passionate about this subject since it is his livelihood.
In Episode 298 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore," we hear from Virginia-based farmer Joel Salatin from Polyface Farms who was featured in Michael Pollan's incredible The Omnivore's Dilemma book as well as the stunning 2008 expository documentary Food, Inc. Joel grew up on a local farm and knows all the ins and outs of these dwindling national treasures to the fabric of American society. He has authored such compelling, thought-provoking books as Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal: War Stories From the Local Food Front and Holy Cows And Hog Heaven: The Food Buyer’s Guide To Farm Friendly Food and is enthusiastic about defending local food and all the benefits it provides compared with industrialized farms.
Listen to Joel share about the bureaucratic obstacles he faces each day to bring food to the market, why local food tends to be more expensive than food you purchase in the supermarket, why it is impossible for local grass-fed beef to be tainted with E. Coli, the battles he faces trying to bring real food to consumers who want it, his willingness to stand up to the "food police" who try to push him around, how the local food from local farmers trend is similar to the home-schooling movement, the government roadblocks to getting good quality food, why the healthcare "crisis" we are being told about right now is really a "diet" crisis, the work he is doing to "heal the land" of other local farms, and so much more. You can't help but sense the enthusiasm Joel has for this subject matter and I hope you are encouraged that local food is alive and well in the United States today!
