Welcome to the low-carb MD podcast, where we seek progress, not perfection.

Hello everybody and welcome back. We have a very, very special guest with us today.

It is Dr. James D. Nickel Antonio, the author of The Salt Vix, Super Fuel, and Upcoming Longevity Solution with our very own

Jason Funk. He is a Farm D and a very well-known researcher, particularly in the areas of

cardiovascular health and even more particularly when it comes to debunking the

roles of salt in the standard recommendations.

I'm very, very happy to have you here today.

Is it all right if I call you James, Doctor?

Yeah, that works.

Okay, awesome.

Very happy to have you on the show today.

Thanks for having me on, yeah.

Yeah, so let's get right to it.

I think, you know, one of our listeners are definitely going to want to hear some of your

thoughts about this and they're going to be able to be helped a lot of our

patients who come to see us you know are coming to us saying that they're cardiologist or their doctors have

told them that you know they need to decrease their salt for heart failure that

they need to decrease and limit their salt for hypertension, and that

for overall health they need to decrease salt.

So can you give us just maybe a quick, you know, know lesson on the truth here you know do we need to decrease

salt yeah no you don't most people don't need to consciously restrict salt so if you think about it, salt and water,

the intake of it is actually both controlled by our bodies.
