Our host Jimmy Moore has been in the midst of a fasting experiment in the month of January (see all the details of this N=1 experiment in his daily Periscope updates at JimmyScopes.com). Prior to beginning this fast, he decided to drive two hours up I-85 from Spartanburg, South Carolina to Concord, North Carolina to see an emergency medicine and functional medicine practitioner named Dr. Jeffrey Galvin, MD from Vitality Medical Wellness Institute (you may remember hearing Dr. Galvin back in Episode 604) to get a DEXA scan as a means for determining the baseline level of body fat and lean muscle mass. As Jimmy was doing a Periscope video of his DEXA scan (see below), a spontaneous interview with Dr. Galvin commenced that ran the gamut on a wide variety of health topics that was just too compelling not to share with you the listeners of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.” ENJOY!
Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Galvin discuss the results of Jimmy’s DEXA scan measuring body fat and lean muscle mass, how much a DEXA scan costs and where you can get one done, why he believes Jimmy will lose a lot of muscle on his January fast, his concerns with low-protein liquid diets, why he doesn’t care about what a patient’s weight is, how mainstream medicine is starting to get the diet and lifestyle connection to disease, why mainstream medicine is currently failing at helping their patients get better, the lack of knowledge about the importance of thyroid health, why Metformin may be the first life-extension drug, the electrolytes concern he has about an extended fast, whether you can sense an arrhythmia coming on, how people can find doctors like him in their area, how he tries to determine what his patients want in their health goals, why his “normal” ranges on health tests is radically different from conventional levels, how lifestyle is the stool he seeks to optimize for his patients, why he’s not a perfectionist for his patients to be 100% strict, how you can’t get ketoacidosis eating a low-carb, kegogenic diet, and the connection between dementia/Alzheimer’s disease (Type 3 diabetes) and insulin resistance. This was quite the compelling interview that we knew you’d love to hear!
