You’ve found the #1 low-carb podcast on the Internet called The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore and stumbled upon our historic “Encore Week” where Jimmy invites back the favorite podcast guests from the previous year as voted on by his listeners. “Encore Week” 2012 has been making waves with in-depth, quality interviews featuring Swedish LCHF physician Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt on Monday, a continuation of the “safe starches” debate with the Perfect Health Diet co-author Paul Jaminet on Tuesday, and then the incomparable expert on all things related to blood sugar Jenny Ruhl on Wednesday.

Today’s “Encore Week” 2012 interview features one of the breakthrough authors in the low-carb community in 2011. He is Milwaukee, WI-based cardiologist Dr. William Davis who wrote an incredible new book warning of the dangers to health and weight of consuming wheat called Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health. While this seemingly harmless food we are consuming is actually promoted by health experts and in government guidelines as “healthy,” Dr. Davis warns that major changes in the gliadin content of modern-day wheat is what makes it so dastardly for us to be consuming now. This book is one of the more seminal works on this subject that will hopefully spawn even more research and a closer examination by others in the years to come.

Plus, Dr. Davis answers these questions from LLVLC Show listeners:

DAN ASKS:
Thank you Dr. Davis for writing the book “Wheat Belly”. I’ve bought 3 copies to hand out to friends, plus the audio version. It’s making a difference. I’m sure you are receiving lots of success stories. I have lost 145 pounds, one big reason is I put the wheat out. I tell everyone I know to read your book.

I’ve listened to the audio version several times. You mention the “accompanying CD ROM”–Is there a CD ROM that goes along with the book? Will there be a paperback version and if so what will be the updates?

JAMIE ASKS:
If wheat has addictive properties, are their any supplements or even drugs that someone who is wheat addicted might take to help them wean themselves off wheat. Can you list the other grains that have possible wheat like effects? Hops are used in beer. Any thoughts on beer?

If your doctor has told you that they want to put you on statins, what (evidenced-based) references would you quote to argue against it?

MIKE SAYS:
Check this out: ‘Statins can cut prostate threat’: Medication for cholesterol can reduce risk of cancer

Now that Lipitor’s patent has run out, here’s the latest “coincidental” side effect benefit of statins: Just more one more BS epidemiological study.

PETER FROM TAIWAN ASKS:
Regarding the Apo E4 gene, about 1 in 5 people have it putting them at greater risk of developing atherosclerosis. Shouldn’t people find out if they have this gene before starting a low-carb, high-fat diet?

LUKE ASKS:
Should individuals with high heart scan calcium scores avoid the heavy ingestion of fat at one meal followed immediately by intense exercise or exertion?

Does saturated fat contribute to coronary plaque because it has a flat molecular structure unlike unsaturated fats whose molecular structure is “bent” or “kinky”?

You explain in Track Your Plaque that 20% of coronary artery plaque is calcium.  A heart scan measures calcium in the arteries.  Therefore total plaque can be estimated by multiplying the calcium score by five.  In this regard can you answer the following questions. Proponents of chelation therapy contend that chelation can remove plaque from the arteries.  Do you believe chelation therapy removes calcium from the arteries? What is the purpose of the body including 20% calcium in plaque?

JANET ASKS:
If someone has HDL of 79 and triglycerides of 62, but an LDL pattern A of 199, is this a concern?  The reason my naturopath is concerned is that i  have high blood pressure and took a cardiac test which measures to the fraction the carotid artery which is supposed to be very indicative of the whole artery system and it showed very little plaque but lots of thickening (from the  high blood pressure).  I’m 53 and have the carotid of a 72 year old.  Yikes.  He was trying to blame this on Atkins, but i’ve only been on Atkins for 6 months.  So I’m probably saving my life right?

CATHY ASKS:
Do you think CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) will aid in weight loss?  Have you ever used it with patients?

Don’t miss listening to the rest of the “Encore Week” 2012 interviews featuring Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, Paul Jaminet, Jenny Ruhl and Dr. Jack Kruse.

Thank you Dr. Davis for writing the book “Wheat Belly”. I’ve bought 3 copies to hand out to friends, plus the audio version. It’s making a difference. I’m sure you are receiving lots of success stories. I have lost 145 pounds, one big reason is I put the wheat out. I tell everyone I know to read your book.

I’ve listened to the audio version several times. You mention the “accompanying CD ROM”–Is there a CD ROM that goes along with the book? Will there be a paperback version and if so what will be the updates?

JAMIE ASKS:
If wheat has addictive properties, are their any supplements or even drugs that someone who is wheat addicted might take to help them wean themselves off wheat. Can you list the other grains that have possible wheat like effects? Hops are used in beer. Any thoughts on beer?

If your doctor has told you that they want to put you on statins, what (evidenced-based) references would you quote to argue against it?

MIKE SAYS:

Now that Lipitor’s patent has run out, here’s the latest “coincidental” side effect benefit of statins: Just more one more BS epidemiological study.

PETER FROM TAIWAN ASKS:
Regarding the Apo E4 gene, about 1 in 5 people have it putting them at greater risk of developing atherosclerosis. Shouldn’t people find out if they have this gene before starting a low-carb, high-fat diet?

LUKE ASKS:
Should individuals with high heart scan calcium scores avoid the heavy ingestion of fat at one meal followed immediately by intense exercise or exertion?

Does saturated fat contribute to coronary plaque because it has a flat molecular structure unlike unsaturated fats whose molecular structure is “bent” or “kinky”?

You explain in Track Your Plaque that 20% of coronary artery plaque is calcium.  A heart scan measures calcium in the arteries.  Therefore total plaque can be estimated by multiplying the calcium score by five.  In this regard can you answer the following questions. Proponents of chelation therapy contend that chelation can remove plaque from the arteries.  Do you believe chelation therapy removes calcium from the arteries? What is the purpose of the body including 20% calcium in plaque?

JANET ASKS:
If someone has HDL of 79 and triglycerides of 62, but an LDL pattern A of 199, is this a concern?  The reason my naturopath is concerned is that i  have high blood pressure and took a cardiac test which measures to the fraction the carotid artery which is supposed to be very indicative of the whole artery system and it showed very little plaque but lots of thickening (from the  high blood pressure).  I’m 53 and have the carotid of a 72 year old.  Yikes.  He was trying to blame this on Atkins, but i’ve only been on Atkins for 6 months.  So I’m probably saving my life right?

CATHY ASKS:
Do you think CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) will aid in weight loss?  Have you ever used it with patients?

You’ve found the #1 low-carb podcast on the Internet called The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore and stumbled upon our historic “Encore Week” where Jimmy invites back the favorite podcast guests from the previous year as voted on by his listeners. “Encore Week” 2012 has been making waves with in-depth, quality interviews featuring Swedish LCHF physician Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt on Monday, a continuation of the “safe starches” debate with the Perfect Health Diet co-author Paul Jaminet on Tuesday, and then the incomparable expert on all things related to blood sugar Jenny Ruhl on Wednesday.

Today’s “Encore Week” 2012 interview features one of the breakthrough authors in the low-carb community in 2011. He is Milwaukee, WI-based cardiologist Dr. William Davis who wrote an incredible new book warning of the dangers to health and weight of consuming wheat called Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health. While this seemingly harmless food we are consuming is actually promoted by health experts and in government guidelines as “healthy,” Dr. Davis warns that major changes in the gliadin content of modern-day wheat is what makes it so dastardly for us to be consuming now. This book is one of the more seminal works on this subject that will hopefully spawn even more research and a closer examination by others in the years to come.

Plus, Dr. Davis answers these questions from LLVLC Show listeners:
