Sometimes I feel like there are two parallel universes going on simultaneously. The first one is full of traditionally-trained doctors who feel like the best first answer to any health problem is a prescription drug. The second one is full of naturopathic physicians who embrace the nutritional therapies for dealing with just about any concern about health. Both exist, but can both be the very best method for treating disease?
In Episode 142 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we speak with Dr. Jim LaValle who is a pharmacist, nutritionist, and natural medicine doctor who chooses to treat his patients through dietary changes that involve a low-carb lifestyle change (not a diet, as you will hear him repeat over and over again). What a refreshing voice of sanity in an increasingly insane world! You’re gonna get excited about livin’ la vida low-carb anew as you listen to Dr. LaValle in today’s podcast.
He started the Cincinnati, OH-based LaValle Metabolic Institute to give people with obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, heart disease, and worse the hope they have been looking for that better days are ahead for them. He employs several physicians, dietitians “that are well-versed in low-carb,” acupuncturists, and more who are ready to help people restore their health back to where it needs to be. When you visit the web site, be sure to sign up for Dr. LaValle’s new Metabolic Minute newsletter.
If you want to learn more about Dr. Jim LaValle and his health philosophy, then you’ll want to pick up a copy of his book Cracking The Metabolic Code. And be looking for several new books coming from him later this year and in 2009. What a wealth of information Dr. LaValle is as he seeks to promote healthy low-carb living with his patients from all around the world.
