The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Feed

On today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Show, I invite William Davis, M.D. back to be my featured guest to discuss “Geriatric Medicine for cardiovascular diseases.” Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most frequently encountered in geriatric medicine. More recent studies have shown the link between hyperglycemia and the development of cardiovascular diseases including arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, which often involve the coronary arteries and carotid arteries. Thus, understanding the potential cardiovascular risks as a result of consumption of carbohydrates is very important in preventing diseases and improving the health of the geriatric population. Contrary to the recommendation from a majority of physicians and health researchers, Dr. Davis has found whole grains especially wheat are health hazard. He recently wrote a book, entitled, “Wheat Belly”, for publication. I am going to have Dr. Davis tell me more about the relationship between wheat and cardiovascular diseases. Interesting, isn’t it? Come and join me in interviewing Dr. Davis now!     Links: William Davis MD at Track Your Plaque: www.trackyourplaque.com   Dr. Davis’ new book Wheat Belly (Amazon)  

Today, The Carbohydrates Can Kill Show starts a new series on geriatric medicine. To start this topic off, I present this episode entitled “Graceful Aging.” Everyone will eventually pass away from this world, no matter how long he or she lives. If possible, life should be an enjoyable journey full of accomplishment. However, some people suffer diseases at an earlier age and lose their lives before their time. Worst of all, they had to endure pain and emotional trauma as a result of incurable diseases, before their lives were taken away. I have always believed that if we take good care of ourselves, we should be able to live a healthy life with little or no illness, except accident, until our body is exhausted. Living a long life is not the most important matter. However, living a healthy and quality life should be everyone’s dream. If we do what we know how now, we should start to live a healthy life with healthy diets. And we all will have the opportunity to age gracefully. Come and listen to what I have learned about graceful aging. And, let me know your thoughts. The transcript of this presentation will be published weekly in four parts in The Blog, on Monday, September 7, 2011. Links: http://www.carbohydratescankill.com/book http://www.carbkill.com

Mr. Tom Naughton is my featured guest for today’s Carbohydrate Can Kill Show. Mr. Naughton is a well-known producer, writer, and director. He has become a household name for producing a documentary film entitled, “Fat Head.” This film has received a high rating for its first-hand experiment by Mr. Tom Naughton on eating fast food for weight loss. The most interesting thing to me is Mr. Naughton found science is with carbohydrate restriction in his research for this film. He became an advocate for carbohydrate-restricted diet. In regular writings at his blog, he helps his readers understand why carbohydrates, not fats, are hurting health. I am very excited about this opportunity to interview him on this podcast. I am going to ask him more about what information he has found in his research that should be very valuable to you and me. Let us tune in and get ready for this informative episode.   Link: http://www.fathead-movie.com/      

Both Dr. Mary Vernon and Dr. Eric Westman return here as my featured guests for today’s podcast about a program, “Innovative Metabolic Solutions”, which is specially designed for physicians and nutritionist, as well as the listeners like you. In my weekly article, “Carbohydrate-restricted Diet In Medical Consultation”, posted on Monday, August 15, 2011, I pointed out the superiority of carbohydrate-restricted diet to carbohydrate-rich fat-restricted diet in terms of improving the risks of obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and many diseases. Medical consultation should include the discussion of carbohydrate-restricted diet. Dietary therapy is an important approach in restoring the metabolic functions. Both Mary Vernon, M.D. and Eric Westman, M.D. are working with the Innovative Metabolic Solutions to help understand the Innovative Metabolic Solutions. I am going to take this opportunity to help you find out more about these exciting solutions. Let us start this interesting interview now!

I have the honor of inviting Peter Ballerstedt, PhD as my featured for today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Show. As we restrict carbohydrate consumption, we have to increase the intake of fat and protein, at least some of them from animal sources. With careful studies, we have found that what we feed animals is an important factor of the quality of animal-based foods in terms of protein and fat. In addition, during the last decade, more people are paying a premium for organic foods including animal-based foods. It should be an interesting question for all of us to explore if organic foods are worth the money.

Today, in the last episode of this special podcast series on obesity, Dr. Joseph Leonardi is my featured guest. I also invite back Mr. Fred Hahn to join me in the discussion on exercise program. Dr. Leonardi is a chiropractor, who has enjoyed weightlifting since he was 12 years old. Nevertheless, he had been obese since he served in the US Navy and trained with bodybuilders. At one point, he was 340 pounds. He also began to have health problems. When he came to realize that he needed to lose weight to restore his health, He learned that restricting carbohydrates could help lose weight. After he switched to a diet with little carbohydrate, he began to lose weight. Now, he has lost more than 100 pounds. He has designed his own exercise routines, with which he has shaped his body to be much slimmer but muscular. Mr. Hahn is a physical trainer specialized in resistance training. He has appeared on this podcast in the past. With his expertise in exercise, he is going to discuss Dr. Leonardi’s exercise routine. This interview is surely going to be very interesting. Come and join me in this informative interview now! Links: Dr. Joseph Leonardi: www.FatThenFitNow.com Mr. Fred Hahn: www.seriousstrength.com

In relation to this special podcast series on obesity, today I have the privilege of inviting Dr. Mary Vernon, Dr. Eric Westman, and Ms. C. Tressider as my featured guests for the seventh edition of The Listener’s Roundtable Discussion. As many people who are obese have realized the importance of losing weight for restoring their health, they want to find an effective approach for weight loss. Although there are so many weight loss programs on the market, these people are unable to lose weight despite following these weight loss approaches religiously. Of many dietary programs today, we have come to recognize restricting carbohydrates is the best diet for weight loss and at the same restoring health. However, there are people who sill have issues that prevent them from effectively losing weight. Ms. Tressider is one them. She is going to ask both Dr. Vernon and Dr. Westman about the problems she has encountered in her attempts to lose weight. I am very sure that many of you may have the same problems and circumstances that she has had. Thus, this special discussion should help you answer your questions and offer you many useful suggestions. Let us tune in now for this interesting discussion!   Links: Dr. Eric Westman Dr. Mary Vernon

Amanda Dupont, M.D. is my featured guest for today’s episode of The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, which is the third episode of a special podcast series on obesity. Dr. Dupont, certified by both the American Board of Emergency Medicine and the American Board of Bariatric Medicine, is very knowledgeable in general medicine for patients who are obese. For many years in her practice as an emergency physician, she had increasingly been concerned about how ineffective medications are when used for modifying individual symptoms but not for the patient’s whole health. She became interested in using a dietary approach to help her patients. She has carefully observed the relationship between the type of foods eaten and the transformation of health including body weight. She has lots of information that I would like her to share with us. I bet that you want to listen to my conversation with Dr. Dupont now!   Links: Dr. Dupont’s practice: Austin Bariatric Clinic 57: Dr. James Carlson on Dietary treatment for Obesity, Dangers of diet drugs and more! 56: Drs Eric Westman and Mary Vernon on Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity      

Today, I have the greatest pleasure of inviting Dr. James Carlson back to this podcast as a featured guest for the second episode of the special series on obesity. 

As a family practitioner with a wealth of knowledge in nutrition and health, Dr. Carlson is one of the few physicians who criticize organized medicine about the unscientific advice it is giving to Americans. With such ill advice, more Americans are becoming overweight or obese and developing diseases such as, but not limited to, diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease. When you become aware of the untrustworthy information from organized medicine and its members, you have to work harder in searching the correct information for the sake of keeping good health for the rest of your life. I am going to take this golden opportunity to ask Dr. Carlson about what we have to do to restore our health and maintain it until the last day of our life. Please stay tuned and listen to my discussion with Dr. Carlson. Links: Dr. James Carlson Amazon  HYPERLINK “http://www.amazon.com/Genocide-Your-Doctors-Dietary-Ignorance/dp/1419685821/ref=sr_1_1?

Just look at a crowd at anytime, anywhere; so many more people are either overweight or obese. Obesity has been increasing as a serious health hazard for the US and the world. Unfortunately, it is because of the ill dietary advice from the medical establishment, health agencies, and nutrition or dietetic professionals. To stop and reverse the rising trends in obesity, we must provide everyone with the correct advice that they should restrict carbohydrates for weight loss and restoration of health. Today, I am honored to have two renown specialists for diabetes mellitus and obesity, Eric Westman, MD and Mary Vernon, MD, as my featured guests in a special series of my podcast on carbohydrates and obesity. Dr. Westman is a Duke University Research Scientist and Clinician. Dr. Vernon has been a guest on this podcast in the past, during our discussions about diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes. With both of them here, I am ready to learn more about obesity, diabetes mellitus, and lipids. Are you ready for this interesting discussion? Let’s go!

Today I have the honor of welcoming back another featured guest who appeared on this show one year ago from tomorrow! She is Chef Barrae. As you may recall, she was a diabetic patient who had been obese. She has used her determination and talents in the culinary arts to help herself recover from diabetes mellitus. At the same time, she has created recipes to help those who are diabetic to improve their diabetic condition while eating truly enjoyable meals.   Since her last interview, with her continued determination and effort, Chef Barrae has accomplished many things that she did not expect. She has graciously agreed to return and share with all of us what she has done during the past year. Her personal experiences should be very helpful in improving our diet and health. I am very excited about listening to her stories. Get ready and let’s start our interview now!     Links: www.chefbarrae.com Previous interview with Chef Barrae  

Tomorrow, one year ago, I invited Mr. Jimmy Moore, the low-carb living evangelist and a famous podcast host, to this podcast. He talked about his second book, “21 Life Lessons From Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb: How The Healthy Low-Carb Lifestyle Changed Everything I Thought I Knew.” Many of you loved that interview so much and asked me if I would do another interview with him. Today, the eve of his one-on-one interview with me on this show, I have the honor of having Mr. Moore back as my featured guest. Mr. Moore has been active in helping others change their lifestyles with low carbohydrate diet. He has been vocal against the USDA Dietary Guidelines for American 2010 and attended the public hearing on the guidelines. He has also done some personal experiments. I am going to ask him to share his updates with us. Let’s tune in now and start the interview! Links: Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Jimmy Moore’s bio

On the eve of the first anniversary of The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, I have the honor of having seven listeners from different parts of the world as my special guests. They are Mr. Mark King, Ms. Mary Titus, Ms Rachel Flowers, Mr. Jeff Bergman, Dr. Yael Balazs, , Mr. Bob Faber, and Ms. Amy Dungan. As this show is about entering its second season, I would love to hear from my listeners like you to share their thoughts on this podcast and let me know of their suggestions on its future programs. One of today’s featured guests, Mr. Mark King, wrote me in e-mail below:   here are some recommendations for future Podcasts. 1. how to get children to change their eating habits, before it becomes too late. 2. the addiction of carbohydrates, physical and physiological. 3. the effects of carbohydrates on the economy, i.e. medical and mental. Antismoking factions were able to use this effectively over the years too finally make smoking in our society an anti-social behavior. A few years ago is what accepted and in some cases promoted as being healthy. 4. the history of carbohydrates, why did humans start consuming them? When and where.? 5. In there a conspiracy by big Pharma to promote carbohydrates in order to sell more drugs? example the Canadian and American Diabetes society that continue to promote high carbs in order to sell volumes of insulin. 6. more on cancer and the relationship it has with carbohydrates. 7. the findings of carbohydrates promoting heart disease, (the recent discovery the mummified body of an Egyptian princess was analyzed and it was found to be riddled with heart disease, enough to kill. It is well known that the Egyptians main diet consisted of grains and barley and fruit.   Very obviously, a majority of my listeners like you agree with Mr. King’s recommendations. Let’s go to listen to this episode now and see what they have for me. After that, I would love to have you share your thoughts with me too.  

The directors of The Healthy Nation Coalition are our guests today on The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. As I wrote in my weekly article, New Label For Old Stuff: ChooseMyPlate.gov, the USDA announced that It replaced the “food pyramid” with a new graphical analog, “Choose My Plate,” as the icon for its unscientific and unhealthy Dietary Guidelines. After the USDA ignored public outcry for a thorough review of the Guidelines, a group of concerned individuals organized the Healthy Nation Coalition to help redefine what we call “healthy” foods for Americans and other Earthlings. In today’s special episode, I am honored to have the three directors of the Healthy Nation Coalition as my featured guests. They are Pam Schoenfeld, RD, Adrienne Larocque, PhD, and Adele Hite, MAT. I am going to ask them about the Healthy Nation Coalition, its mission and goals. I am going to ask them what they have been doing to help all of us choose healthy foods and restore and maintain good health for the rest of our lives. Now is a critical time as we discuss these important issues that will certainly help us save health care expenses on preventable illnesses. With their professional backgrounds, I am sure that I will learn a lot from Pam, Adrienne and Adele. As I continue to promote preventive medicine, I trust that you will join me now to find out what my guests will share with us. Website: http://www.forahealthynation.org/
