    For the love of all things Holy, please invest in some professional sound engineering. This could be a great pod if it didn’t sound like it was recorded in the back of a box truck. Come on guys. How could this not already have been addressed?

    Get it together.

  • My New Favorite

    It’s amazing to me that I’ve only been aware of the power of the low-carb lifestyle for two years when these docs have been preaching the message for free online since 2018. Now I have over 400 podcasts to catch up on and I’m only up to number 16!

  • Good info, but silence your mic, Dr. Brian pls

    It is annoying to hear the difficulty of breathing (clearing of throat, loud breathing) that Dr. L has. Is there any way to silence your mic when you’re not actually speaking? I hate to be critical (bc I love the podcast!) but this seems kind of basic to podcasting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rethinking Type 1 Diabetes Management | Dr. Ian Lake - E444
Q: What do you hope clinicians take away from your upcoming book and papers?
Clinicians should consider providing comprehensive information and support patient autonomy to choose between traditional and ketogenic approaches, recognizing that personalized plans can improve quality of life and outcomes.
Rethinking Type 1 Diabetes Management | Dr. Ian Lake - E444
Q: How has your personal journey influenced your view on ketogenic approaches for Type 1 diabetes?
Personal experience with ketosis over many years has shown that it can lead to more stable glucose and better insulin optimization, challenging the notion that diabetics must follow a high-carb path.
Rethinking Type 1 Diabetes Management | Dr. Ian Lake - E444
Q: What is the main flaw you see in the current paradigm for managing Type 1 diabetes?
The system is largely carbohydrate-centric and insulin-focused, making it hard to achieve true metabolic health; insulin should be viewed as a regulator of energy and treated with a broader lifestyle perspective.
The Cholesterol Code Movie | Dave Feldman and Jennifer Isenhart - E439
Q: Why should people watch this documentary Cholesterol Code?
Dave argues it breaks down what cholesterol means in the context of a ketogenic diet while sharing powerful recovery stories, and it provides a nuanced view that challenges oversimplified myths about cholesterol and heart disease.
The Intersection of Metabolic Health and Spiritual Health | Pastor Gary Evensen - E437
Q: How can churches incorporate health practices without turning worship into penance?
They emphasize group fasting with flexible timing, education on safe fasting, and pairing dietary changes with spiritual activities to create a supportive environment rather than a punitive one.
