In Episode 958 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we have an Integrative Nutritionist and bulimia sufferer named Sara Keough as our guest today. This particular episode is perhaps one of the most unique podcasts we’ve ever shared with you in a conversation featuring a Baltimore, Maryland-based woman named Sara Keough. She is a recent graduate with her Master’s Degree in Integrative Nutrition and, more importantly, she has struggled with food addiction and bulimia for nearly 20 years. I met Sara on the flight back to the United States from the LCHF conference that took place in Cape Town, South Africa in February. After hearing her harrowing story of struggle with binge eating and purging, I knew I needed to share this with my listeners today to help others who have become frustrated by the way eating disorders are viewed by mainstream medicine.
“There’s still a lot of stigma and shame and guilt around eating disorders and I hope to help others dealing with this too.” — Sara Keough
Listen in as Sara and I talk about her education in nutrition and integrative health, her early interest in ketogenic diets, when she first started purging at the age of 12, how she struggled with a strong carbohydrate and sugar addiction, how the ketogenic diet helped her improve her eating disorder for longer than anything else she’d ever tried, her experience going to see doctors at Johns Hopkins to get help for her bulimia, the denial by the doctors there that she had an eating disorder, their reaction to her low-carb, high-fat diet, their decision to offer her Prozac to help with her mood issues (which she denied), why they didn’t offer up a specific diet for her to follow and told her to try not to purge, the horrible food choices they recommended she try (pancakes, really?), and her continuing struggle to deal with this condition. At the end of the interview, I put out a call to anyone who would like to help Sara in her ongoing battle with bulimia. If you can help, then please send an email to livinlowcarbman@charter.net.
