Join Jimmy today as he explores the medieval origins of segmented sleep schedules. “According to this article, my sleep is not different, it’s the original way we slept.”  - Jimmy Moore   In this episode, Jimmy gets personal to talk about his unorthodox sleeping pattern where he goes to bed for his “first sleep” for a few hours, then gets up for a few hours, and going back to bed again for a “second sleep” for a few hours.

An article published in The Atlantic on January 27, 2022 entitled “Can Medieval Sleeping Habits Fix America’s Insomnia?” offered up some ancestral clues about why Jimmy’s sleep is probably not as strange as it might seem.

Join Jimmy today as he welcomes Dr. Rebecca Warren to talk about healing the thyroid. “It wasn’t about calories in/calories out, they were doing the wrong tests, and weren’t even reading the tests they were doing correctly.”  - Dr. Rebecca Warren In this episode, Jimmy speaks with women’s health and thyroid hormone expert Dr. Rebecca Warren (@dr.rebeccawarren) for a truly incredible conversation about the state of modern-day healthcare and the disappointing way allopathic medicine treats patients with chronic and metabolic diseases.

This is one of the mor

Join Jimmy today for a brand new Jimmy Makes Science Simple as he tackles the idea that obesity can be avoided by just chewing and savoring food longer. “I wonder if they could have taken a steak and liquified it, if that would have made a difference.”  - Jimmy Moore   In this episode, Jimmy features a study that was published in the December 9, 2021 issue of the journal Scientific Reports entitled “Chewing increases postprandial diet-induced thermogenesis.” This research conducted by researchers in the Department of Nutrition and Metabolism at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan was a randomized crossover study of 11 young and healthy men to see what impact consuming a liquid drink would have on a process called diet-induced thermogenesis that would result in more energy being utilized after consuming the meals in one of three states–drinking it, holding the drink in their mouths for 30 seconds before swallowing, and chewing the drink continuously for 30 seconds before swallowing.

Join Jimmy today as he welcomes Kat Owens to talk about combating the lie that the Bible pushes plant-based eating. “I recommend to people to look into buying meat in bulk. I buy half a cow at a time.”  - Kat Owens   In this episode, Jimmy chats with his friend and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner named Kat Owens (@low.carb.with.kat). As a low-carb animal foods fan and FNTP, it would be easy to chat with Kat about the finer points of nutrient density, digestion, and the endocrine system. But she wanted to talk about an interesting topic, especially for people of faith–does the Bible recommend consuming a plant-based diet as the ideal way to eat? This has been a common belief that Biblical eating is closer to vegetarian and vegan than it is keto and carnivore. Is this true? Tune in to hear Kat’s take on this controversial subject!

“Can you remember everything you ate over the last year, two years, FOUR YEARS? The average person has no idea.”  - Jimmy Moore   In this episode, Jimmy kicks off the new year by doing one of his favorite things–breaking down a new study in nutritional health. This one was presented at the American Heart Association’s 2021 Scientific Sessions in November and it’s a doozy with a radical claim.
