    270: Craig Emmerich - The Art of Metabolic Health

    Craig Emmerich  Craig Emmerich graduated in Electrical Engineering who has spent the last 16 plus years researching nutrition and working with thousands of clients along side his wife Maria Emmerich. He is an international best selling author of the “Keto: The Complete Guide” and “The Carnivore Cookbook”.

Craig has been keto for over 17 years and carnivore for over 6 years to help treat his chronic Lyme disease and CIRS pain. Key Quote “You can eat a 1,000-calorie milkshake, and two hours later you’re like, ‘I could eat something.’ But if I stick 14 eggs in front of you and tell you to eat them all, you probably won’t eat till tomorrow.” — Craig Emmerich Craig’s Top Tips Go back to whole foods — no matter which specific way of eating you follow, this alone helps most people. Move more, even outside the gym — small movement throughout the day (NEAT) adds up more than most people realise. Get outside — fresh air, sunlight, and vitamin D matter more than people give them credit for.   Craig’s Book The Art of Metabolic Health — Craig and Maria Emmerich’s new release. ketomaria.com Resources Mentioned None specifically referenced beyond Craig’s own book.

    269: Matthew Caruana - The Sweet Keto Chef

    Matthew Caruana  Matthew built a career in professional cookery, becoming a Head Chef and working internationally. A serious motorbike accident in 2016 pushed him to take control of his health, leading to an eight and a half stone weight loss through a ketogenic diet. He began creating and sharing keto desserts, which grew into a following and a recipe book. After losing his job in 2020, he turned that passion into a business, becoming the UK’s first artisan keto chocolatier and going on to win multiple awards. Key Quote “I definitely feel depression from eating carbs, which is a crazy thing to say. I feel so much more sluggish and, you know… when you actually put the carbs back in, you feel so much worse, physically and mentally.” — Matthew Caruana Matthew’s Top Tips     Get a proper night’s sleep. It’s free, and it’s one of the biggest things that helps with impulse control around food.     Remove the treats from your house. If there’s friction between you and the bad stuff (having to get in the car and drive to the shop, for example), you’re far less likely to break.     Don’t punish yourself if you slip up. If you get carbed, go to bed, and the next day draw a line under it. Beating yourself up just spirals into eating more sugary things.   Matthew’s Book Everyone Deserves Dessert — available exclusively via Matthew’s website (not on Amazon). Resources Mentioned     The Daisy Garland — the charity that helped Matthew’s friend’s daughter access a therapeutic ketogenic diet for juvenile epilepsy.     Siobhan Huggins — mentioned in relation to an intentional carb-reintroduction experiment.

Know why you’re doing this before you start — if it’s a short-term fix, it won’t work. This has to be for the long haul.     Don’t rush the process. You’re doing this for the rest of your life, so what’s the rush? It doesn’t matter if it takes longer than three months to get there.     Don’t take life too seriously.

    266: Dave Mac - No Carb Life: Carnivore, Stroke Recovery and Getting Back Up

    Dave Mac Dave Mac is the host of the No Carb Life YouTube channel. He’s conducted over 1,900 interviews with people reversing chronic illness with a carnivore diet, and has personally followed the carnivore diet for nearly four years. Key Quote “I’ve interviewed people that have reversed or seen improvements with glaucoma. And a gentleman that was legally blind — after doing carnivore for a while — he saw his daughter for the first time in 10 years.” — Dave Mac Dave’s Top Tips     Take it one day at a time. Don’t project into the future or think about how you’ll manage it for a year — just focus on getting through today without carbs.     If you slip up, don’t beat yourself up — get straight back on track. Beating yourself up just makes it harder to get back on the wagon; treat a slip as past and move on immediately.     Don’t try to do everything at once. Trying to start carnivore, OMAD, and extended fasting all on day one sets you up to fail. Just focus on carnivore first — the fasting side tends to happen naturally once you’re fat-adapted.   Resources Mentioned Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution: The No-Hunger, Luxurious Weight Loss Plan That Really Works! by Dr Robert C.

    265: Rosemary Laberee – Reversing Osteoporosis After 60

    Rosemary Laberee Rosemary Laberee reversed osteoporosis in her sixties through heavy lifting, jumping, and a nutrient-dense low carb diet — and she’s here to tell you it’s entirely possible to do the same, even if it takes years. Key Quote “No one’s coming to save you when it comes to your bone health. You have to learn this. You don’t have any choice.” — Rosemary Laberee About Rosemary Laberee  Rosemary has successfully reversed osteoporosis – in her 60s – by lifting, jumping and adhering to a very low carb, nutrient-dense, high protein/high fat diet. She brought every major metabolic marker into a superb range in the process. Her husband and four young adult kids urged Ro to take her story to Instagram. There, she is advising other women how to return their bodies to factory settings with proper movement and nutrition. Ro has a background in business, a master’s in health sciences, and just retired from her third career in a nationally recognized research institute. She takes special pleasure in helping other women understand that the principles of bone renewal – and of overall vitality and longevity – are simple. Guard your sleep, eat real food, pick up heavy stuff, and avoid stress. Rosemary’s Top Tips Your metabolic health is the number one thing for bone health — don’t wait for anyone to teach you, go learn it yourself. Don’t worry about how long it takes — you’ve got the rest of your life. Trust your own common sense — don’t let “experts” (often just operating out of expediency) do your thinking for you. Fall in love with the process, not just the result — craving stronger bones without embracing the hard work guarantees disappointment. What happens in the kitchen matters more than the hour in the gym — plan your meals in advance so you’re not making decisions (and bad choices) in the moment. Don’t buy into the belief that osteoporosis can’t be reversed — that’s a scarcity mindset, not science.

    264: Mark Byford - The Bowler Hat Farmer

    Mark Byford Mark Byford, the Bowler Hat Farmer, spent eight months and 12,500 miles touring the UK to meet the farmers, growers and producers fighting to bring real food back to our plates. He talks to Jackie about why 72% of our food is now imported, how farmers can turn a loss-making acre into a £30,000 one, and why eating seasonally and buying local could save British farming. Key Quote “We’re at that one minute to midnight. The clock’s either going to go one way or the other. If we don’t wake up very quick, we’re never going to see real food again.” — Mark Byford, The Bowler Hat Farmer About Mark Byford “Hi I’m Mark the Bowler Hat Farmer I’ve spent the past two years traveling from Land’s End to John O’Groats, visiting organic farms across the UK to explore innovative farming strategies. My passion for chemical-free food and sustainability.” Mark’s Top Tips Look after people on the way up, because you’ll need them on the way down. — advice Mark got from his old boss, Victor Kiam. “I’d rather earn 1% of 100 people’s efforts than 100% of my own.” — a quote from John Kalench that shaped how Mark thinks about collective change. Find out what makes you tick, then do good with that knowledge — Mark recommends reading The Secret.
