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, diving into nursing, why whole-30 didn’t give her the results she wanted, why keto was such a revelation to her, why it’s okay to admit what we don’t know, why diet is only adjunct therapy, why epidemiology is just confirmation bias, why understanding what your goals are is important, why PCOS is prevalent now, how metabolic syndrome is rearing its head in new ways, and so much more.

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 journal Current Nutrition Reports entitled “Ketogenic Diets for Malignant Gliomas: a Review.” This paper goes over all the pre-clinical and clinical research as it relates to a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet and its impact on glioblastoma (brain cancer). They make the case that keto should be used at least as an adjunct therapy along with other traditional therapies like radiation. ⁣ ⁣ Get the full details in today’s episode!⁣ Support this show by becoming a Patron at Patreon!

  “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 give instructions to people on how they can boost their own immunity as a prophylactic to protect themselves against COVID-19 before it even hits them. Now we have lots of research supporting various ways to do just that and I have two incredible studies from September 2020 to share with you about the role Vitamin D levels play on lessening the intensity of the cytokine storm this virus brings on. ⁣ ⁣ In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from a skeptical article about vitamin C where it went into the history of Linus Pauling and his work looking at this micronutrient and the effects it has on your health. Also ⁣In this episode, I go into the full details about a September 17, 2020 study published in PLOS ONE as well as a September 2, 2020 study published in the BMJ journal Open Heart featuring researchers @drjamesdinic and @lifestylemedicinedoctor. The direct correlation between levels of Vitamin D in the blood and the rate and severity of COVID-19 infection is incredibly correlative.

“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 virtual physicians visits are affecting his practice, the unique challenges of focusing on the African-American community in regards to Covid, bringing the low-carb message to the masses, the cultural roots of diet, staying open to learning new things, the interconnected nature of health, and so much more.

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 disease. It turns conventional wisdom completely on its head about the what the real causal factors are in heart disease.

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 mitochondrial function. She has a team of gifted healers that work together to create individualized treatment plans. She has several signature programs for optimal performance including the Ignite program featured in her first book, GET LIT. Listen in today as Jimmy welcomes Dr. Koche to the show to talk about her personal journey to health, her observations treating patients in the medical system, mediating between mainstream medicine and alternative treatments, applying critical thinking to health, discovering keto and how she uses it, taking care of your mitochondria and what keto means on the microscopic level, dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic and what it’s doing to our mental as well as physical health, and so much more.  

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! Check it out!⁣ Support this show by becoming a Patron at Patreon!

Today Jimmy is joined by Judy Barnes Baker on Episode 1677 of The LLVLC Show. “I was losing weight quickly, I was passing out and nobody had any idea what was going on with me.” – Judy Barnes Baker Judy Barnes Baker always knew she would be an artist when she grew up. So how did an artist come to write a book on health, diet, and nutrition? She was as surprised as anyone else, but it was a matter of necessity, not choice. Judy’s husband had always said he would never live to retire because of health problems and family history, and he took early retirement to be close to his grandchildren so they would remember him. His weight, blood pressure and blood lipid profile had gotten steadily worse over the years. Every time he went to the doctor, his medications would be increased, and he was starting to get serious side effects. Judy first learned about low-carb diets from a friend and decided to see if that would help get him off some of his many medications. She knew he would eat what she gave him as long as it was good. Six months later, he went in for his regular checkup. When the test results came in the mail, the Dr. had written “Way to go!” across the bottom. (The Dr. had no idea how he had done it, and never asked.) They have been committed to the low-carb life and enjoying its benefits ever since. After seven years of re-creating all their favorite recipes, Judy wanted to share what she had learned so other people wouldn’t have to start from scratch. Listen in today as Judy joins Jimmy for a fascinating conversation all about her journey to the brink of death and back, and what caused this incredibly dramatic trip into the unknown.

“There’s a narrative that there’s a consensus that plant foods are wonderful. No, not everyone believes this.” – Jimmy Moore With the increase in popularity of the carnivore diet in recent years, those who oppose it have stepped up their attacks to prevent people from trying this way of eating.

But is it true?⁣ ⁣ In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from an outstanding study published in the August 21, 2020 issue of the journal Current Opinion in Endocrinology & Diabetes and Obesity. The author of this paper is a longtime friend of mine named Amber O’Hearn (@ambimorph) who is one of the OG’s of zero-carb animal food only adherents. She’s been at this for an extremely long time and thus has a lot to say both personally as well as in her own research of this topic that saved her life. ⁣ ⁣ Listen in to this episode to hear her insights along with my running commentary of what she wrote in her outstanding paper! If you are a fan of carnivore, keto, and real food eating, this is a MUST LISTEN. And if you eat plant-based and you just came across this, get ready to have your eyes opened.
