Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Mullen, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. Our Guest this week is Dr Ken Berry. Dr Ken is a Board Certified Family Physician and Fellow in The American Academy of Family Physicians. He has  been practicing Family Medicine in rural Tennessee for over a decade, and has seen over 20,000 patients in his career so far. You might know him from his popular You Tube channel where he has videos about  low-carb/ketogenic/carnivore diets, intermittent fasting, thyroid health, hormone optimization and much more. He says he has declared all-out war on the epidemics of hyperinsulinemia, diabetes and obesity currently hurting our world, and hurting your health. Dr. Berry leads us in a common sense discussion about health and the lies we are told by health care professionals. His personal transformation from a doctor who didn’t know any better when it came to nutrition, to his current role as a proper human diet nutrition advocate gives us insight and understanding into the reasons we are unhealthy as a nation and globally. If you’ve been curious about intermittent fasting for weight loss or for skin health, you’ll want to hear this chat. The bottom line, insulin is a growth hormone! When insulin is present, things are growing – whether it’s your waistline or skin cells, it all stems from too much insulin or, chronic hyperinsulinemia. Listen in for Dr. Berry’s tips on how to get started with reducing insulin with intermittent fasting and meal spacing.  Articles: New Study: Time Restricted Eating Has Health Benefits Beyond Weight Loss I’m A Plastic Surgeon: This Is The Biggest Bang For Your Buck For Youthful Skin ‘I Thought My Skin Tags Were an STD — But They’re Actually Harmless’ Try Cacao Bliss and save 15% with this link and code LOWCARB Cacao Bliss original contains the genuine power of organic raw cacao which encases a host of healthful benefits.

Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Mullen, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. Our guest today is Temple Stewart of The Ketogenic Nutritionist. Temple is a registered dietitian helping women lose weight with a ketogenic approach. Dietician and Keto don’t normally go together but Temple shares her success with Keto and how the keto diet helped her reverse PCOS and improve fertility. Temple now helps other women improve their health, in sometimes hopeless situations, by using a therapeutic keto approach. Our first article brings about an interesting discussion on the continuing rise in obesity and how the concerning issue is much deeper than any diet paradigm or as simple as the flawed calories in, calories out weight loss model. We then debunk a biased and un-researched article that refers to keto as a “disease promoting disaster”.

Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Mullen, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. Have you been thinking about your health lately? Perhaps it’s been weighing on your mind to put more focus on your health? Finally get “back on track” and take your nutrition and exercise seriously? The very idea of changing your diet and hitting the gym can be daunting. Especially if you feel like you have a long way to go to reach your goals or if your schedule is already packed and you just don’t have time.  No matter where you are, we are all sold the same lie –  that nutrition is complicated and that health is time consuming and difficult to achieve. Lies!! Achieving vibrant health is really quite simple. Industry has just over complicated it.  It is not HARD to be healthy. Your body WANTS to be in good health.  EVERYTHING YOUR BODY DOES IS TO KEEP YOU ALIVE- that is its main objective!  All we have to do is not cause interference and give it the support it needs.  This episode is Holly Jean’s masterclass “Building Resilience: Take Control of Your Health & Boost Immunity”  In this episode, Holly shares the secrets to the FOUR RINGS OF HEALTH. These aren’t really secrets, but it is information that you will not hear about on the news – it is information that is intentionally hidden from you. The news won’t teach you how to listen to your body or how to understand that symptoms have a root cause. The news won’t tell you that you already have everything you need to become your best, healthiest self. The television wants to scare you into believing that health comes from a pill or syringe or some trendy diet – I simply want to show you another way – a better way – a more effective way.   After listening to this episode you will walk away with simple, proactive tips and tools that you can implement right away – so you can have a healthier day.  Resource: Learn more and Register for Empowered to THRIVE   Try Cacao Bliss and save 15% with this link and code LOWCARB Cacao Bliss original contains the genuine power of organic raw cacao which encases a host of healthful benefits.

Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Barrett, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. Our guest today is Abby Durlewanger from House of Keto. Abby started keto in 2017 and had huge success and went on to inspire others including her own family. Abby motives others through her social media platform House of Keto showing delicious foods she is making, running challenges and more. Abby shares her health journey and reveals how her experience with keto became the gift she wanted to give back to the world, including her own family. After years of trying low fat and low calorie diets, she came to discover that keto was the answer for her and the path that also allowed her to overcome food addiction and begin healing childhood trauma. Once she learned about keto, and about how true health is achieved through proper nutrition, she could not continue to feed her family in a way she no longer believed in. She feeds herself, and her family, a proper human diet and she believes the negative press and comments provide the perfect opportunity to educate and inspire.
