Larry and Kay Lynne Diamond were both obese and in ill health when a family health tragedy prompted them to question everything health related. They both had their health restored and lives transformed for the better by adopting a real food low carb healthy fat (LCHF) way of eating. At the time their recently adopted daughter was only two. Larry who had a science background as an environmental scientist decided to apply himself to health and nutrition with a wholly open-mind and evolutionary perspective. The only thing that made sense to Larry: conventional nutrition advice most likely had to be wrong, especially over the last 50 years, as chronic preventable conditions have become commonplace. Larry quickly found the science and logic of LCHF and the metabolic theory of obesity. As he loved many of the mainstay foods of LCHF and understood the science behind LCHF, he adopted LCHF as his way of eating to great success. Seven months later Kay Lynne, joined him. Larry ended up losing 125 lbs, Kay Lynne 70 lbs. They also each resolved numerous lifelong health issues. Their daughter has also thrived on real food LCHF going from the 3rd percentile in height to the 25th percentile. The Diamonds' life passion has become helping others restore their health with LCHF with a particular interest in helping working families transition to real food LCHF to prevent family health tragedies and to help families thrive. Larry is also particularly interested in the environmental aspects of food production and Kay Lynne with how central food is to child development and children succeeding in their development and educational attainment. Larry and Kay Lynne have lived the transformation that happens when you use ancestral inspired eating and living. They believe healing and thriving happen through the wisdom of the body and that ancestrally aligned eating unlocks our innate healing ability. Their goal is to help others have the best scientific information on nutrition that has a firm basis in evolution, anthropology, and cultural culinary traditions. This is The information they used to change the course of their lives and the life of their daughter.   www.unleashyourgeneius.com

Hey what’s up Gene-ius listeners, I’m excited to be interviewing my guest today. He shares many of similar passions that I do. Mainly Tough Mudder and Primal Health. I’ve been following Brad on social media for a while now, and I’m glad to have him as a guest on our podcast today. Here’s a clip from Brad’s website: In the early months of 2015, I discovered the Paleo movement. While reading the Paleo Magazine, I read an article about a guy who seemed a lot like me, overweight, and depressed that the traditional methods of weight management were not working. He read Mark Sisson’s “The Primal Blueprint.” and it changed his life. So I thought, “why not give it a shot.” I went to the local bookstore that week and bought a copy of “The Primal Blueprint,” and my eyes were opened. The way I lived my life and the way I ate were horrible. I was poisoning myself. I bought other books by Mark Sisson, and Robb Wolf, and tried to learn as much as I could about this lifestyle that works for so many and has been right in front of our noses for thousands of years. So after a few months of reading what I could about this Primal/Paleo movement, I decided to start the “Primal Blueprint Certification Course, ” and two months later, I became a Certified Expert. This journey is far from over, and I hope with this blog, I can reach and show others about this fairly new movement.  http://theprimalmudder.com/   Find out more great content here... http://unleashyourgeneius.com/ www.cactuschiropractic.com.au See you next time!

Episode 19: Featuring Jo Whitton from Quirky Cooking.     http://thewellnesscouch.com/category/aqj   http://www.quirkycooking.com.au/about/   http://unleashyourgeneius.com/   You must listen to this episode if you are a Mom or Dad, or anyone healing from gut issues.   Most of your health will come from the foods you eat. The nutrients that you provide your body by way of ingesting the essential nutrients our body requires in order to operate properly and express optimal health.   You are genetically designed to express this health status, and isn’t supposed to be hard either. In fact, it is quite easy.   Every one of us has the blueprint on our DNA to be strong like the hunter and gatherers were for 2 million years.   Too many toxins and not enough essential nutrients create an environment that provides our genes and our DNA the worst building blocks, and won’t allow the body to function at its optimal level. This leads to sickness and disease.   Peak performance, optimal health, and just simply living a healthy life requires peak provisions of essential nutrients. Nutrients that are from the most natural sources possible. The fewer middlemen between the earth and your plate the better.   Put simply, just eat real foods, mostly plants, healthy meats from healthy sources, seafood, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Pretty easy!   If all of this sounds too hard, just have a listen to Jo’s “Tough Love”. It will give you the kick you need to get what you want from your health, and the health of your family.   Jo Whitton provides us with the tools, knowledge, and strategies to provide ourselves health care from the kitchen. And she does it in the kindest, most generous of ways. You can feel her sincerity and loveliness in her voice. No wonder her podcast is doing so well!   If you can find a way to make cooking simpler and less stressful it will be a valuable skill to use for the rest of your life.   I am so lucky to have Jo on the show today to give us her personal story of how she helped with her sons’ gut issues and heal from a severe case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.   Enjoy,   Dr Brian   Guest:   Jo Whitton, from Quirky cooking:   http://thewellnesscouch.com/category/aqj   http://www.quirkycooking.com.au/about/   http://unleashyourgeneius.com/

Many people don’t even look at their poo before flushing it down the toilet! That’s all about to change after you listen to Dr Damian tell us how much information you could be missing about your health and the health of your family by not doing the poop check. www.unleashyourgeneius.com
