Revolutionizing Health Care
—
Dr. Victor Montori

During this episode, Dr. Victor Montori and I discuss the industrialization

of healthcare, how healthcare has corrupted its mission, how it has stopped caring, and what this means for you as a patient. It is clear something has to change. Healthcare has lost its way, and the patient is the one who suffers most.

As a Professor of Medicine and Endocrinologist specializing in diabetes care at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Montori is an expert in patient care experiences.. He also runs the Knowledge and Evolution Research Unit (KER) unit, which focuses on medical evidence, wishes, patient wishes and minimally disruptive care. He is the co-founder of Patient Revolution.org and his book, Why We Revolt: A Patient Revolution for Careful and Kind Care is a testament to his passion towards transforming the current healthcare industry. With Dr. Montori leading the way, I have great hope for the future of medicine!

Raise Your Protein Intake and Your Insulin IQ

Dr. Ben Bikman

Ben Bikman believes wholeheartedly in a low carb diet. He lives it, he studies it and he educates physicians about it through his Insulin IQ organization. As an Assistant Professor and Scientist at BYU, he focuses on modern day diseases that are influenced by metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. He actively spreads the word about the benefits of a low carb diet whenever, and wherever he can, including Lowcarb Breckenridge which is where we met. During our conversation, we walk through the role of protein in the metabolic system, the fuel requirements of athletes, and why it’s important to separate emotion from science when we talk about food.

Professor Bikman earned his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and a post-doc fellowship at Duke University, Singapore in metabolic disorders.

Key Takeaways:

[3:01] What is the role of protein in a low-carb lifestyle?

[15:07] The symphony of the endocrine system and fasting thresholds.

[17:42] The risk of the standard American diet.

[23:30] The Keto Carnivore.

[28:50] The protein leverage hypothesis.

[35:21] What is the best fuel for athletic performance?

[43:09] Why is the science in the low carb community better than other sciences?

[51:21] Real world examples of how Professor Bickman’s integrates low carb into his life.

The Benefits of Fasting
—
Dr. Jason Fung of the IDM Program

My guest, Dr. Jason Fung is a passionate advocate for reclaiming our health through low-carb nutrition and intermittent fasting. As a Nephrologist, he recognized his diabetic patients on dialysis uniformly declined into worsening health. He knew something had to change. That is when he went against the prevailing paradigm and starting using low-carb nutrition and intermittent fasting as primary therapy for his patients. And he hasn’t looked back.

Now known as “The King of Fasting” he maintains a prolific blog at IDMProgram.com, and he has published
The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss, and The Complete Guide to Fasting, and we eagerly await his new book,
The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally.

Although the benefits of fasting to treat diabetes are immense, they do not stop there. Fasting also impacts our nutrient sensors, and by doing so, may help us prevent or treat cancer, and improve our longevity. The science behind this is fascinating and continues to grow every day.

Key Takeaways:

[6:06] Dr. Fung recognized the failure in treating Type 2 Diabetes with insulin.

[15:38] Intermittent Fasting is balancing your feeding times with your fasting times.

[31:14] The science of how fasting affects nutrient sensors in the body.

[41:06] Turning down the growth factors of cancer.

[49:43] Calling out the connection between Big Pharma and the policymakers in the medical community.

Helps People Take Control of Their Medical Futures

Professor Tim Noakes of the Noakes Foundation

Prof Tim Noakes put his career and his reputation on the line by saying three simple words that we infrequently hear: I Was Wrong. In the 80s and 90s, he was the preeminent authority on sports performance, and he wrote the defining book explaining the importance of a high carbohydrate diet. Fast forward 20 years, and Prof Noakes’ own personal struggle with diabetes opened his eyes to the unforeseen dangers of the high carbohydrates diet. That is when he realized “I Was Wrong.” But he had no idea what was coming next. Given his position as a highly respected scientist, he was seen as a threat by the status quo in South Africa, and what ensued was a 3-year long trial intent on silencing him. Now he has committed his life to teaching the science behind low carb nutrition, how that can help athletic performance, and more importantly, how it can help improve our health. Nobody has risked more personally to proclaim this message, and that makes Prof one of the most remarkable proponents of healthy nutrition I have ever met. We have a lot to learn from Prof Noakes, and it all starts with the ability to say those simple three words: I Was Wrong.

Key Takeaways:

[4:44] A court attempted to use Prof Noakes as an example to take away free speech from doctors in South Africa.

[10:22] Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic disease of nutrition.

[16:29] The concept of hunger.

[19:12] Athletes should self-experiment with a high-fat diet.

[28:34] How do we break the cycle of industry-funded influence?

[36:41] Social media helps to substantiate a healthy, high-fat diet.

[41:17] Converting doctors is critical to promoting the low-carb diet.

[47:12] Goals of the Noakes Foundation and the Eat Better South Africa campaign.

Dave Feldman of CholesterolCode.com

During Dave Feldman’s second appearance on the podcast we delve deeper into the results of his Ketofest experiment and how his research is revolutionizing the way we look at cholesterol. According to Dave’s ‘energy status’ theory, the body as a system anticipates its energy needs and regulates how it mobilizes long term and short term energy storage. This makes cholesterol a passenger in an energy delivery system, not an inherently harmful doer of evil. Dave also shares the secrets of his future experiments, and explains why Lipidology is an engineer’s “Holy Grail.” This is not your every day conversation!

Key Takeaways:

[1:08] Dave shares the results of his experiment from Ketofest.

[5:25] Can higher dietary fats really lower cholesterol?

[9:10] Does the body anticipate the use of energy?

[15:33] The energy delivery theory.

[28:00] Why a low fat-high carb diet is better than a high carb-high fat diet.

[42:44] Have an alternative theory to Dave’s theory? He wants to hear it.

[45:51] Dave will self-experiment with cookies to put his theory to a test.

Remnant Cholesterol: What Every Low Carber Should Know

Insulin Resistance: A True Measure of What Ails Us?
—
Ivor Cummins

After a blood test left him with more questions than answers, my guest, Ivor Cummins, began applying his problem-solving, tactical engineering point of view to explain why his blood tests were abnormal, an answer his physicians were unable to provide. From there, he turned his attention to explaining the root cause and pathophysiology of the most common diseases of our time- obesity, diabetes, heart disease just to name a few. He has spent countless late nights scouring decades-old research and has come up with a clear common thread- insulin resistance. To combat IR, he advocates a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle, and his book (due out the end of Feb 2018), written with Dr. Jeffry Gerber, Eat Rich, Live Long, makes the case, in a rational and reasonable manner, that a low-carb diet along with lifestyle changes is the key to improving health.

During our conversation, we discuss insulin resistance and insulin tests, the importance of adipose and which food products to eliminate from a diet.

Key Takeaways:

[4:41] How Iver came to be a proponent of a low carb diet.

[11:25] Why is insulin resistance not being tested properly?

[16:08] What is the mechanism linking cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammation?

[21:30] The Kraft test works, but do you need it?

[27:48] Adipose is an important endocrine organ.

[34:43] Linking LDL to cardiovascular disease.

[43:20] Eat Rich, Live Long focuses overall good health.

[48:02] PUFAs are bad, period.
