Update: Podcasts, Videos, Alzheimer's, and More

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to let you know I’ve updated two tabs on the site:

Info on Alzheimer’s, and my podcast and video interviews.

Alzheimer’s

In case anyone’s new here, I am the author of the book, The Alzheimer’s Antidote: Using a Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet to Fight Alzheimer's Disease, Memory Loss, and Cognitive Decline.

I’ve done a bunch of interviews about the book and the concept in general – that Alzheimer’s disease is a metabolic problem – one the scientific literature regularly refers to as “type 3 diabetes,” or “brain insulin resistance.”

On the Alzheimer’s tab, you can find links to all my published articles and blog posts, as well as links to some of my favorite scientific papers on Alzheimer’s.

Podcasts & Videos

If you’ve been reading the blog for a while but have never heard my voice or seen what I look like (other than the photo on the blog), you can check me out in these videos and podcasts. You’ll notice differences in my face and general appearance, depending when the various videos were recorded. That’s what trying to figure out your thyroid will do to you! Swollen looking in one video, down 15 pounds in another only a few months later. The info in this one is great, but my thyroid-related weight gain had reared its head again. In my opinion, I look best in this one and this one.)

For those of you who are familiar with prominent low carb physician and researcher Eric Westman, MD, I’ve recorded two videos for his Adapt Your Life Program, one on Alzheimer’s, and one called “Keto Sense and Nonsense.” The latter one goes hand-in-hand with this blog post I wrote about keeping low carb and keto simple, and how UNcomplicated they really are. (If you’re interested in the blog series on insulin I mention during the Alzheimer’s video, you can check it out here.)

Another video I’d like to share with you is a webinar I did for the Irish Institute of Nutrition & Health. It’s a bit long – about 2 hours – but it’s the most detailed and informative presentation I’ve ever given. (I’ve given this talk, called “Nourish Your Neurons,” at professional conferences.) There’s a Q&A for the last approximately 40 minutes. I recommend watching through to the end, because there’s some good extra information during that time. You can download and save the file here (it’s a very large file), or simply watch it here.

Posts for KetoDiet

I’m happy to announce I’ve joined the writing team at Martina Slajerova’s KetoDiet/KetoDiet App. I am humbled to be part of this team, as I am in the company of people I deeply respect, including Franziska Spritzler, Bill Lagakos, Emily Maguire, and other nutrition professionals.

If you’re not familiar with Martina, she’s an AMAZING and prolific recipe developer and all-around good person. She has several great keto cookbooks out, not to mention all the fabulous recipes available for free on her website. (I reviewed The KetoDiet Cookbook here, and the Sweet & Savory Fat Bombs cookbook here.)

Three of my articles have been published so far:

There will be several more articles in the coming months, including basic ones on things like meal prep and dining out on low carb/keto, and some that are a bit more in-depth on insulin resistance and associated metabolic dysfunction.

The best way to stay up to date on my latest publications, podcasts, other interviews, and public appearances (yes, I do occasionally leave the house and interact with other humans!) is to follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TuitNutrition.

P.S. I’m working on three new posts that I’m very excited about. Lots of fascinating stuff to talk about. I think they’ll blow your mind, just like they did mine. They’re a bit in-depth, though, so they’re going to take a while to write. I’ll be posting some less heavy-hitting stuff in the meantime, but just know that some really good and educational stuff is on the horizon. Y’all know that what I love about the blog is that when I learn new things that change the way I see insulin, type 2 diabetes, obesity, cancer, and more, I get to share those insights with you!

FREE Alzheimer's Webinar THIS WEEK

Hey Everyone,

As you know, I’ve done some work regarding the role of dietary and lifestyle factors in causing, exacerbating, and most importantly, possibly HELPING Alzheimer’s disease.

For anyone who’s interested not just in Alzheimer’s, but in using real food and sensible lifestyle “stuff” to support brain health and cognitive function in general, I wanted to let you know about a FREE WEBINAR I’m participating in this Thursday, May 12 at 4pm U.S. Eastern time.

And the best part is, it’s LIVE, so you can chime in to ask questions! I don’t promise to have all the answers, but hopefully I’ll have some, hehheh. Click here for the details and to register.

The webinar is being produced by Elisa Haggarty of Culinary Farmacy (is that a great name or what?). Elisa has also put together a stellar program called The Brain Fog Solution. Feel like you're living with cobwebs in your brain? Mind not as sharp as it used to be? Suffer from CRS (Can't Remember Sh*t?) Don’t accept it as “normal.” You’re not “just getting older,” and you don’t have to sit there and take it. (Let alone continue helplessly while it gets worse!) Learn how to nourish your body and brain and stave off the 3pm dash to the vending machine for a sugary pick-me-up. Get to the root causes of your brain fog, mood swings, energy dips, and junk food cravings, and then get rid of them! Click here for details.

To clarify: the webinar is free, but The Brain Fog Solution is a program available for purchase. (Includes recipes, coaching calls, and tons of other good stuff you can find out about by checking it out here.)

As always, you know I am pathologically honest here on the blog, so allow me to disclose that I am an affiliate for The Brain Fog Solution and will receive a small portion of the registration fee should you choose to participate. If you enjoy my writing but have no brain health and cognition issues, and would like to find some other way to support my blogging (which takes many, many hours of time, all completely unpaid), a nice way is to make a direct contribution, via the PayPal links toward the right on my website. Not required at all, but every little bit helps. Thanks! :-) (However long you guess it takes me to write one of my long-ish and well-referenced posts, triple it, and you might be in the ballpark, haha! You know what they say: “Easy reading is damn hard writing.”) You can also click through to Amazon using my affiliate link, and I'll get a tiny portion of the purchase price of whatever you buy, even if it has nothing to do with food, nutrition, or health. Buy anything after going to Amazon from that link and they'll throw a couple cents my way. Sweet! Also, consider purchasing protein powders, stevia, coconut oil, Quest Bars, DaVinci sugar-free syrups, and other goodies from Netrition via my affiliate link. Netrition has by far the best prices I've found on the vast majority of this stuff anywhere, except that I have not yet explored Thrive Market. (With Netrition, there is no sign-up fee, and no commitment. It's just a company to buy stuff from. I've used them for years and have had nothing but great experiences with them.)

Podcast Interview - Ketogenic Diets for Neurological Health

For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter or Facebook and missed the announcement last week, I’ve recorded another episode of the Real World Paleo Podcast with Christine Lehmann, the Reverse Diabetes Coach, and a fellow Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. (In fact, Christine and I met when we were in the same class for our NTP training.) You can check out the details here, and the show is available on iTunes and Stitcher.

You may recall I was on this show a few months ago, talking about ketogenic diets for Alzheimer’s disease. This time, we expanded the discussion to other neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s, ALS, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. We briefly touched upon the potential efficacy of ketogenic approaches for psychological conditions as well, such as schizophrenia, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. We also spent a few minutes talking about intermittent fasting and how it might be an additional tool in the arsenal to combat neurological and neurodegenerative conditions.

Podcast Interview: Lyme Ninja Radio

In case anyone out there isn’t completely sick yet of hearing me talk about the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and the potential therapeutic role of very low-carb diets, I wanted to let you know about my latest podcast interview.

Hop on over to Lyme Ninja Radio, where I had a great conversation with the head ninja himself, Mackay Rippey. You can also find it on iTunes, but I’m not sure if this episode has been posted there yet. (I’m on episode 70.)

Some of it will be old news if you’ve listened to my previous podcast interviews on this subject, but Mackay was super fun to talk to, and we get into a couple of other low-carb and “real food” issues beyond Alzheimer’s. We recorded this one by phone, so there’s no static like when I was on Robb Wolf’s show, but I do kind of sound like I’m talking from inside a tin can. Not really sure why that happened, but you should be able to understand me just fine. (Except that I talk way too fast, just like my mother used to tell me, hehheh.)

And for those of you who are particularly interested in the notion of Alzheimer’s as “type 3 diabetes,” or “diabetes of the brain,” I’ve compiled links to my blog posts, journal articles, and podcast interviews, plus some of my favorite scientific papers, in a new tab on my website.

Enjoy!

Podcast Interview: Real World Paleo

My third podcast interview is in the hopper and ready for you to go have a listen! First, it was Jimmy Moore’s Livin’ la Vida Low Carb Show, then it was Robb Wolf’s Paleo Solution Podcast, and now, I’m talking about real food, low-carb, and Alzheimer’s on the Real World Paleo Podcast. I’ve also recorded a fourth show, which I’m told will air sometime in December. (Details to follow.) Hey, it’s almost like I kinda-sorta know what I’m talking about! (Either that, or I’m doing a great job of fooling people into thinking I do!)

If you’ve never heard of the Real World Paleo Podcast, that’s probably because it’s pretty new. The first episode went live just this past September. The hosts are Christine Lehmann, MS, NTP, and Stephanie Ewals, NTP. Christine lives in Alexandria, VA, not far from me, and she and I met when we took the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner training together back in 2013. Christine is the “Reverse Diabetes Coach™,” and Stephanie practices nutritional therapy at Out of the Woods Nutrition, in Minnesota.

Both of these ladies know what they’re doing, and it was a privilege to be able to share my Alzheimer’s research with them and their audience. If you’ve read some of my past posts about Alzheimer’s disease, then most of what we discussed won’t be new to you, but hey, a little refresher never hurt anyone! (Unfortunately, there was a little bit of feedback on my mic again, but not as bad as when I recorded with the great Mr. Wolf.)

You can download the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, or listen directly through Christine’s website: http://www.reversediabetescoach.com/episode-11-how-you-can-delay-alzheimers-and-dementia/

The show notes in the link above include helpful links to some scientific papers that might be of interest to you if you’d like to delve into the metabolic and mitochondrial underpinnings of Alzheimer’s.

By the way: the Real World Paleo Podcast is a great show for any friends and family members who are new to LCHF, Paleo, Primal, and just plain real food. Stephanie and Christine do a great job of introducing complex concepts and explaining them in simple but informative ways, kind of like I aim to do on my blog. It might be old news if you’ve been eating this way for a while now, but for people who are just starting to dip their toes in these waters, this show is a down-to-earth, non-intimidating way to learn about healthy fats, the importance of good quality proteins, finding the right amount and types of carbohydrates for different goals, etc.

Podcast Interview!

Hey folks! If this is your first visit to my blog after hearing me on Jimmy Moore’s Livin’ la Vida Low Carb Podcast, here are some links to past posts I’ve done regarding Alzheimer’s disease:

And here’s a link to a guest post I wrote for Robb Wolf’s site, about carbs, Alzheimer's, and more, after the first interview he did with Dr. Perlmutter, after the release of the book, Grain Brain.

If you’d like to learn more about me, check out the About Me page here on this site. In the podcast, I touched only briefly on how I found low carb, so if you’re interested in all the gory details of how “eating less and moving more” failed me for most of my adolescence and young adult life, you can read about that here. (You might also want to wait until you have an hour to spare. You will see from today’s post, or by looking through the archives, that brevity is not my strong suit.)

And now, on to the post!

Guest Posts Around the Web

No label post this week. Sorry about that, everyone. Once in a while time gets away from me and I don’t have a chance to pick out a product at which to launch my ~~razor-sharp wit~~ righteous anger and semi-hysterical ranting.

Instead, in case you’re ~~bored at work~~ interested in reading some of my work that has appeared in other places besides my blog, here’s a list of guest posts and other work I have hanging out around the web.

Guest posts on Robb Wolf’s site:

A series on carbohydrates, insulin, and sugar on the End Sugar Addiction Website.

It was a 4-post series. Here they are, in order. (Please note that these were written two years ago. While most of the information is accurate and I stand by it, my stance has changed slightly on some of the nuances. If you have any questions or would like clarification, feel free to contact me.)

And lastly, I’ve produced transcripts of the following episodes of the Ask the RD podcast, by Laura Schoenfeld and Kelsey Marksteiner, the staff nutritionists at Chris Kresser’s site.
