Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Andy Schoonover is the CEO and founder of CrowdHealth, a company that deploys a crowdfunding model to pay its users’ medical bills. CrowdHealth, which is currently operating in all 50 states, can even help people when they’re overseas. The idea for CrowdHealth was born shortly after Andy moved to Austin, TX. His insurance refused to cover a 15 minute, $8,000 procedure for his daughter who had to get tubes in her ears because she had a hole in her eardrum. The insurance company claimed the procedure was ’not essential’ for her. In this episode, Dr. Tro, Dr. Brian, and Andy talk about… (00:00) Intro (02:01) Andy’s career in remote healthcare and patient monitoring and how his experiences working in this field led him to starting CrowdHealth (05:34) How the perverse incentive structures of the health insurance system lead to a lack of interest in cutting costs and, often, a lack of interest in addressing the root cause of disease in patients (13:37) Why a new philosophy of health insurance is needed and the kind of system such a new philosophy would entail (18:59) Andy’s crowdfunded medical bill sharing company and how it steps in to fulfill the need for a new solution to our broken medical insurance system (27:58) How CrowdHealth is set up specifically to avoid falling into the same perverse incentive structures of big insurance companies (35:08) Which pre-existing conditions and unhealthy habits disqualify people from joining CrowdHealth and what kinds of healthcare costs are not covered by CrowdHealth (42:04) How generosity and reciprocity safeguard the economics of CrowdHealth’s system (46:34) Why CrowdHealth is only direct-to-consumer (48:19) How CrowdHealth handles routine examinations (49:46) How CrowdHealth stacks up against other popular ‘health share’ programs, why these programs have been steadily going up in cost, and how CrowdHealth plans on avoiding the same rapid increase in cost to their customers (54:44) How quickly CrowdHealth pays doctors and hospitals (58:17) How CrowdHealth incentivizes its community to improve their metabolic health and dietary habits (01:01:34) How both DPC practices and CrowdHealth avoid system overload by making the same probability bet (01:05:15) How clinics like Tro’s, which cares for some of the most obese and metabolically sick people, can partner with a company like CrowdHealth, which admits people who are already metabolically well and relatively fit (01:10:06) Whether age is a factor in what CrowdHealth members pay (01:12:58) How CrowdHealth handles families with obese or otherwise unhealthy children or other family members (01:16:38) Outro For more information, please see the links below.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Mary Bowden is an otolaryngologist and sleep medicine specialist in Houston, Texas, who treated over 6,000 COVID patients during the pandemic. Her vast experience prompted her to become a fierce advocate for early treatment. After the FDA spread misinformation about ivermectin, she and Drs. Paul Marik and Robert Apter successfully sued them, forcing the agency to delete several misleading social media posts and web pages. Houston was ground zero for the COVID-19 shot mandates, and Dr. Bowden was an early outspoken critic. The first hospital in the country to implement mandates, Houston Methodist, suspended her privileges and reported her to the Texas Medical Board in response to her tweeting, “Vaccine mandates are wrong.” The ensuing attacks prompted her to fight back, and she founded a nonprofit, Americans for Health Freedom, whose foundational project is to enlist politicians and other doctors to call for the COVID shots to be pulled off the market.  In this episode, Drs. Brian, Tro, and Mary talk about… (00:00) Intro (03:23) The governmental attack on effective, affordable treatments for Covid during the vaccine rollout (11:23) The data supporting the usage of Ivermectin as a safe and effective treatment for Covid (13:47) The lawsuit filed by Dr. Bowden and other doctors against the FDA for interfering with their ability to practice medicine by overstepping their authority and violating the Administrative Procedure Act (17:42) Why Dr. Bowden decided she had to sue the FDA (27:02) Medical ethics, speaking out for the truth, and standing up to corruption (35:59) The quality of research for the safety of various vaccines and why we need a higher standard (41:59) The suppression of effective early treatment options and the massive promotion of  vaccines (48:15) How Drs. Bowden and Lenzkes would have respectively handled the Covid situation if they had the opportunity to run the NIH in 2020-2021 (55:23) Dr. Bowden’s recent interest in the carnivore diet (01:01:39) Dr. Bowden’s, Dr. Tro’s, and Dr. Brian’s advice for medical students and the next generation of doctors (01:09:28) R.F.K. and Jay Bhattacharya (01:13:51) Outro For more information, please see the links below.

By the time Scott hit his late 40s/early 50s he weighed over 550 pounds thanks to his adherence to the standard American dietary/exercise advice. It was not until Scott began walking, fasting, and reading the work of Jason Fung and others that he was able to start dropping weight and getting healthy. Similarly, Scott’s wife, Camille has been able to radically improve her personal health following the same dietary principles that her husband discovered. Together they run the website Improvisational Keto Kitchen—a site which provides a number of dietary tools, hacks, techniques, and recipes that Scott and Camille have adapted or developed to make the very low carbohydrate lifestyle not only sustainable, but enjoyable. In this episode, Tro, Brian, Scott, and Camille talk about the power of fasting, the work of Vinnie Tortorich and Jason Fung, the spiritual impetus for the beginning of Scott’s weight loss journey, why abstinence is often better than moderation for those struggling to lose weight and/or stick with their diet, how Camille’s arthritis, anxiety, asthma, fibromyalgia, and allergies have improved, how Scott and Camille support and help each other to continue down the path of health, the importance of having a ‘why’ motivating your health journey, avoiding the ‘reformed smoker’s mentality’ after you discover a health lifestyle that works for you, and the power of consistent effort.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Judy Wolfe is a sugar/food addiction recovery coach at SUGARx Global. She has been sugar/grain/flour/alcohol free for 19 years and has lost 130 lbs. Today, she is happily free from craving and lives in contented abstinence from the substances that once controlled her and were slowly poisoning her. She is passionate about helping others achieve the same recovery that she has. Judy is SUGAR Certified/Licensed, HMA certified, and FAP (Functional Analytic Psychotherapy) certified. In this episode, Tro, Brian, and Judy talk about the genetic aspect of food/sugar addiction, the behavioral signs of a person struggling with food addiction, the time period for addiction recovery, philosophical issues with public policies that try to tax an addictive food substance into obscurity and disuse, why stress is the number one killer of the addiction recovery process, why moderation is emphatically NOT the answer for those who are truly sugar/food addicted, how diets don’t work but good nutrition does, the beauty and power of community in the addiction recovery process, and the difference between an addict and a harmful user.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Robert Lustig is Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases. He is also the author of many popular and influential books on the topics of nutrition and metabolic health (see links below). His qualifications, education, and full list of accomplishments are too extensive to list in their entirety here (see link below for his full bio). In this episode, Tro, Brian, and Rob talk about how Rob first discovered that fructose was so unhealthy, why suppressing insulin is key to metabolic health, why Western people in general are still opposed to or wary of the message that ‘sugar is bad’, why whole food diets are the ideal for human health, reasons why fiber in the diet is beneficial, why processed food may be a necessary evil in our modern food landscape and how we can make ultra-processed foods healthier in light of that possibility, the basic principles of making ultra-processed food healthier and what makes food healthy for humans in general, mitochondrial toxins (what they are, and where they come from), and the amygdala’s role in psychiatric disease.
