Podcast Interviews
Can’t get enough of me?
If it’s been a while since
I’ve published a new post, and you need an “Amy fix,” here’s a comprehensive
list of all the podcast interviews I’ve done. Most of them focus on Alzheimer’s
disease and my book, The Alzheimer’sAntidote. Others are
about low-carb and ketogenic diets in general.
Videos
I have my own YouTube channel! My
motto there is “Keto without the crazy.”
Click here for a list of all the videos. I cover all things keto, thyroid, insulin, salt, food police, fasting, macros, and more!
Webinar
In January 2018, I recorded a webinar for the Irish Institute of Nutrition & Health. It was a bit long -- about two hours, total,
but it is the most detailed and
informative presentation I’ve ever given. You can download and save the file here (it’s a very large file), or simply watch it here. There’s a Q&A for the last approximately
40 minutes. I recommend listening through to the end, because there's some good
extra information during that time.
Other
Videos
Keto Sense and Nonsense:
about keeping low-carb and ketogenic diets simple. Also
a short video, about 25 minutes. (Related blog post: Newto Low Carb? Feeling Lost? “Paralysis by Analysis?” READ THIS.)
Intro to the Personal Fat Threshold Concept: It’s not about the weight! A
look at why type 2 diabetes, hypertension, gout, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular
disease, PCOS, and other conditions occur in people of all body weights,
not just in people who are overweight or obese. Also explains why people who
are carrying extra weight sometimes have lower risk for cardiometabolic
disease (“the obesity paradox”), as well as why people experience quick and
dramatic improvements in type 2 diabetes after bariatric surgery or
adopting a low carb/ketogenic diet – long before they’ve lost a substantial
amount of weight.
Videos about Alzheimer’s:
I have presented at several
low carb and ketogenic conferences on Alzheimer’s as a metabolic condition –
“type 3 diabetes – and the potential therapeutic use of ketogenic diets. Below
are links to the videos of selected talks:
KetoCon 2018 – Austin, TX, June 2018
Low Carb Houston 2018 – Houston, TX, October 2018
What I Learned – The Alzheimer's Antidote: Can we prevent Type 3 Diabetes? (An
informative & in-depth interview on the metabolic aspects of Alzheimer’s.
One of my best!)
Interview with
Ivor Cummins (the Fat Emperor)
about Alzheimer’s, hyperinsulinemia, insulin-related metabolic disease and
more. Watch it here.
In November 2017, I recorded a short video
about Alzheimer’s for the Adapt Your Life company.
It was only about 21 minutes, so it just scratched the surface of Alzheimer’s
as a metabolic illness -- “type 3 diabetes” -- but it’s a good basic intro for
someone who wants a short overview. Watch it here.
Interview with Mike Mutzel, from High
Intensity Health, on Alzheimer’s disease and brain insulin resistance. Lots of good stuff on the metabolic aspects
of Alzheimer’s. Watch it here.
Interview with Tristan Haggard, from Primal
Edge Health. We did some major keto myth-busting! Lots of good stuff here. (Related blog post – “The Keto Train to CrazyTown.”) *Please note, this was one of the
first videos I ever did, and I didn’t realize how dark my setting was. So the aesthetics weren’t great, but stay for
the content!
Interview with keto-oriented endurance cycling
coach Stephanie Holbrook. A brief
discussion of Alzheimer's, and then we switched gears to talking about low carb
and ketogenic diets in general, plus a lot of other issues I don't normally get
asked about on podcasts, such as all the other stuff besides food that affects
physical and mental health -- another fun one.
Watch it here.
Podcasts
I am linking directly to the
show websites. However, most of these shows can be found on iTunes and other listening/download
platforms.
Please note that some shows
have long introductions with information and announcements from the host(s),
sponsor ads, and witty banter or chit-chat. If you prefer to skip that, you
might have to fast-forward a little bit in order to get to the start of the
interviews.
I’ve tried to put the interviews
I recall being especially informative and educational regarding Alzheimer’s
near the top, but there are useful takeaways from all shows:

Help Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease with Amy Berger

Low-Carb Diet the Key to Treating Alzheimer’s? with Amy Berger

Keto Woman Podcast – episode 25: Dropping truth bombs about measuring ketones (and why most people don’t need to!), fat burning & metabolism, and ketogenic/low carb diets in general.

Fast Keto Podcast with Vanessa Spina ("Ketogenic Girl"): Lowering dietary fat for fat loss. (No, keto is not unlimited fat if you're having a hard time losing body fat!)

of fun and controversial issues about
low carb & ketogenic diets, but we steered clear of Alzheimer’s here. This
one was fun.)

static on my microphone during this show, so it might be difficult to bear with
it and listen, but you can still hear me clearly.)

Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteJust a quick note-I listen to Keto for women on a regular basis and I caught your episode recently. Since then, I've been seeking out other podcasts you've been on (really loved the woman you did on Keto Woman) because I love what you have to say and how REAL and level headed you are about keto. I just started a keto lifestyle about 2 months ago (though, I've been relatively low carb/no processed carbs for a while) and your message has been immensely helpful. Keto seems confusing in the beginning and we (especially women/type A women, like myself) tend to get hung up on the details, which causes a little over-analysis paralysis, but I've found people such as yourself have really helped it come together for me.
Thank you!
Fabulous! :D So glad I've been helpful. For a long time, I wondered what my role was in the low carb/keto community, or if I even *had* a role. Was I saying or doing anything a hundred other people weren't already saying and doing? Recently it occurred to me that yes, I do have a place here, and it's mostly helping people stay CALM about things, and to approach things rationally and with useful education. I've seen too many people become absolutely *neurotic* about food, macros, ketones, and other stuff, and I think a voice of reason and sanity is desperately needed. If that's the role I can fulfill, I think I'm comfortable with that, even if it means I don't have washboard abs and popping biceps like Maria Emmerich. ;-)
