Low Carb MD Podcast

Craig Emmerich is a keto/carnivore expert as well as an electrical engineer with an amazing story. We are excited to have him on the show with us today! Seven years ago he was diagnosed with lime disease. Having heard that the carnivore diet might reduce lime-induced pain, he decided to give it a try. The results were spectacular! In this episode, we discuss the different health benefits enjoyed by those on carnivore and keto diets, and we talk about what specific factors of a full carnivore diet may lead to these differing benefits. Further, we discuss the importance of thinking about disease like an engineer solving a problem. Look at what your machine is outputting and, if the results are not favorable, take a look at the inputs.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Tony Hampton to the show today! Dr. Hampton adopted the low carb diet when he began to realize, through his own reading and by following the research, that it could be used to combat diabetes. When he realized that conventional methods didn't treat the underlying disease, he decided that he had to re-evaluate his perspective. In this episode we discuss the culture variable in the equation of working with a patient to improve their health. Additionally, we talk about wholistic health and the importance of addressing underlying issues leading people to make unhealthy choices. Thanks for listening in!

We are joined on the podcast today by business analyst, Ken Armstrong. Having been disappointed again and again by a variety of different diets, Ken discovered Gary Taubes' book, Why We Get Fat, which set him on the path to finally attaining health and sustainable weight loss. After falling off the wagon for a while, he returned to low-carb and began trying intermittent fasting as well. This combination of fasting and dieting helped him to regain the progress he had lost. Since then, he has been experimenting with the carnivore diet as part of his continued effort to discover which nutritional decisions are best for him. "You are never beyond help. You are never beyond hope." This is the message that Ken wants to communicate.

We are happy to be joined today by primary care physician and soon-to-be member of Brian Lenzkes' DPC in San Diego, Dr. Kristin Baier. Upon being diagnosed with lupus during medical school, Dr. Baier began looking to nutrition for help. Her first experiment was with veganism—no help. She then transitioned into the paleo diet, during which time she found some success and began to lose weight. Finally, having discovered the ketogenic diet, she gave it a try and was able to come off of five different medications, eliminate her chronic headaches, and improve her lupus symptoms. We discuss the benefits of a direct primary care system for providing real quality care to patients.

We are honored to have Chris S. Cornell on the show with us today. Having tried time and time again to achieve a healthy weight, Chris had become frustrated with plant-based and calorie restriction diets. Over time, he eventually found his way to the low-carb diet thanks to a book recommendation—Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes. Since then, Chris has been healthy and has reached a healthy weight using a low-carb approach to eating. We have a great conversation about dealing with sugar and carbohydrate addiction and the importance of community support.
