Welcome back to the very best and most listened-to low-carb podcast available on the Internet today–it’s “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore!” We appreciate your support of our advocacy for the healthy low-carb living presented in a positive and encouraging manner twice weekly. It is our pleasure to have you here in our listening audience and we say a hearty thank you for being here.

In Episode 152 today, Jimmy is proud to present the conclusion of his fascinating two-part interview with Jackie Eberstein, a registered nurse and long-time assistant to the late great Dr. Robert C. Atkins from 1974 until his untimely death five years ago. If anyone knows what the Atkins diet is REALLY all about, then it’s Jackie. And you can hear it in her voice as she answers these questions from real people just like you. She shares her own unique insights from 34 years of working in the field of controlled-carb healthcare!

Guess what? Jackie has been so overwhelmed (in a good way!) by the positive response you have given her about her podcast appearance that she has agreed to do a regular segment on “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore” just to answer your questions about the Atkins diet, the impact it can have on your health, and whatever else is bugging you about low-carb. WOW, how about that?! Go ahead and start sending me your questions via voicemail by calling (206) 202-6516. Then we’ll have Jackie answer them in an future podcast.

We’d prefer to HEAR your questions for Jackie, but you can also submit them to Jimmy directly by e-mailing him at livinlowcarbman@charter.net. Special thanks to Jackie Eberstein for this fabulous two-part interview this week and for her commitment to continuing to answer your questions about livin’ la vida low-carb. You can really tell she cares about people in much the same way that Dr. Atkins did. Aren’t you glad he ended up HIRING Jackie after she told him off during the job interview in 1974?

In today’s episode, Jimmy presents the conclusion of his incredible interview with the oh-so-very wise and highly approachable physician, James “Don’t Call Me Doctor!” Carlson. Despite having such an extensive background in a number of academic fields, including law, economics, medicine, biochemistry and more, Dr. Carls…er, I mean, James prefers to keep the playing field level so people are not intimidated by any prefix to his name. That’s one of the reasons why he is such an endeared low-carb proponent because he doesn’t pretend to be some hifalutin prima donna! What you see and hear from James is what you get.

Part 2 of the James Carlson interview has Jimmy presenting him with an amazing list of health conditions that low-carb is an ideal treatment for and is included in his book Genocide, looking at the importance of STAYING ON low-carb throughout your pregnancy and for nursing mothers, and continuing to lament and shake their heads at the sorry state of nutritional awareness by medical doctors in modern society.

If you caught Episode 145, then you already know; this is the interview you DON’T want to miss!

Hello and welcome back to “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore” for yet another in-depth and informative interview with one of the most outspoken and avid proponents of the healthy low-carb lifestyle you’ll ever meet, named Dr. James E. Carlson. Jimmy is super-excited to let you hear from Dr. Carlson in this special two-part interview this week on the podcast.

He is a modern day renaissance man with credentials above reproach–he’s a doctor, lawyer, economist, biochemist, and cellular physiologist–so he’s more than qualified to speak about health and nutrition from virtually every angle conceivable! And boy does he have some choice words to say about the current recommendations of a high-carb, low-fat diet for bringing about weight loss and supposed improvements in health.

Dr. Carlson describes what the medical profession is doing to patients as a “genocide” and he doesn’t use that term lightly. In fact, he is the author of an amazing new book which is the perfect companion piece to Gary Taubes’ Good Calories, Bad Calories called Genocide: How Your Doctor’s Dietary Ignorance Will Kill You!!!!. It’s an explosive, blow-the-lid-off the conventional paradigms look at why physicians buy into the whole low-fat diet hypothesis hook, line, and sinker and meticulously explains why the low-carb lifestyle is a much more effective nutritional approach for dealing with weight and health.

You’re gonna LOVE Dr. James E. Carlson and become captivated with what he has to say in Jimmy’s interview today. In fact, Dr. Carlson describes his book as being “So simple, even physicians can understand it!” Now that’s pretty funny! This is a “don’t-miss” two-part interview, so be sure to come back on Thursday for the conclusion of this amazing interview!
