Real Health Conversations
Real Health Conversations (Formerly Low-Carb Conversations) is hosted by Holly Jean Mullen, FNTP and features a variety of voices in the world of modern nutrition and health science, expressing many different points of view.

Triple-digit weight loss success story and low-carb diet counselor Eileen Beal and and recovering sugar addict turned real foodie blogger and RD student Karey Boerst join our hosts Jimmy Moore and Dietitian Cassie today in Episode 116 of "Low-Carb Conversations With Jimmy Moore & Friends!"

 

Momentum is building for the Paleo, primal, real food, and low-carb, high-fat nutritional approaches with so many exciting headlines highlighting the positive benefits this way of eating can afford anyone who is willing to give it a try for themselves. While we still hear some disappointing health messages being promoted in the mainstream media urging people to cut their fat and calories, eat more "healthy whole grains," and exercise hours a day to "work off" their bad nutritional choices, we are encouraged that OUR message is getting out there and changing the hearts and minds of the people who are sick and tired of being sick and tired. If you are one of those people who finds benefit from the positive health message you are hearing on this podcast, then we'd so appreciate your financial support of any amount. CLICK HERE to stand with Jimmy and Cassie as they keep the message alive. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

One on One Weight Loss Counseling” and a registered dietitian-in-training and low-carb health blogger named Karey Boerst from "Nutty About Health." Listen in as Jimmy, Cassie, Eileen, and Karey opine about the latest health headlines, including what to make of the new "diet" beverage offering from Coca-Cola made with stevia, the recent testimony that Dr. Mehmet Oz gave before a group of senators on Capitol Hill about weight loss gimmicks, the FDA's plan to promote less salt in the American diet, the appalling story of an Australian morgue turning away a 440-pound body stating it was "too fat," the continued momentum of moving away from counting calories and more on hormonal impact of food, why our brains work to make us crave foods, how the idea of exercise is more effective if the activity is fun, and so much more. And don't miss Eileen's faux low-carb potato salad and Karey's low-carb flax crust pizza recipes at the end. So pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and let's talk!

NOTE: There will be NO "Low-Carb Conversations" episode next Friday as we celebrate the 4th of July. Happy Independence Day!

The nutritional tide is turning and we're chronicling that paradigm shift each and every Friday here on "Low-Carb Conversations." In some small way, we hope this podcast is helping make a difference in the lives of people who are sick and tired of thinking a low-fat, high-carb diet is the only way to obtain health. If you're a regular listener to this podcast, then you already know how wrong -- dead wrong! -- that really is. Our enthusiastic hosts and intelligent guest friends from the Paleo, primal, and low-carb communities enjoy having engaging discussions about all the health headlines that are making news and shaping views in the minds of people every single day. It's critically important that the misinformation that gets spread out there in the mainstream health media gets corrected which is what we try to do here on a weekly basis.

PUMPKIN AND SPINACH FRITTATA by Anne Franklin

Prepare a large baking dish by brushing with melted butter. I often line my dish with baking paper instead as it saves scrubbing later.

Preheat oven to 340 degrees Fahrenheit

Ingredients
400g roasted chunks of pumpkin
200g spinach
120g blue cheese or feta, (diced or crumbled)
12 eggs
50 ml heavy whipping cream
120g creamy blue cheese or feta
100g diced bacon
1 tomato
200g grated cheese
seasoning and herbs to taste

I usually cut my pumpkin into 1 -2 inch pieces. I toss the pieces in a little olive oil, seasoned herbs such as Tuscan seasoning, and bake in the oven until soft. Better still is to bake extra when roasting veggies for dinner the previous day.

Layer the pumpkin and spinach in your baking dish with pieces of the creamy cheese or feta. Beat the eggs together with the cream. Pour the eggs over the veggies. Scatter the pieces of bacon over. Slice tomato and place over the dish. Sprinkle grated cheese over.

Bake in a moderate oven until firm. and the cheesy top is golden. Takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the depth of the dish. Great as a main meal with salad and slices well when cold to make an ideal picnic food.

In today's episode, our hosts Jimmy Moore and Dietitian Cassie are pleased to welcome back two former guest friends in the awesome George Bryant from "Civilized Caveman Cooking" and Juli Bauer from "PaleOMG" who just released this week a brand new Victory Belt Publishing Paleo cookbook they coauthored entitled The Paleo Kitchen: Finding Primal Joy in Modern Cooking.
