Key Insights
- Larry Diamond shares how his journey from severe metabolic illness to vibrant health became the foundation for Healing with the Diamonds. He explains how hitting rock bottom in 2013 inspired him to reject mainstream dietary advice and embrace a primal, whole foods approach that reversed his insulin resistance and helped him lose over 100 pounds.
- A major theme of the conversation is heart-brain coherence, which Larry describes as essential for true wisdom and discernment. He connects this to ancient teachings, referencing Yeshua’s “sword of discernment” and suggesting that Western culture intentionally suppressed this knowledge to keep people in fear and mental fragmentation.
- The episode explores the alchemical journey as a metaphor for inner transformation, likening it to Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey. Larry emphasizes integrating masculine and feminine energies and overcoming ego as key steps in remembering our divine nature and embodying authenticity.
- Larry critiques scientism, which he calls the inversion of true science, and encourages listeners to reclaim citizen science as a path to health sovereignty. He shares practical tools like testing for C-reactive protein, A1C, fasting insulin, and using triglycerides-to-HDL ratios to assess metabolic health.
- He identifies the “Big Four” dietary culprits—seed oils, refined carbs, ultra-processed foods, and sugar—as drivers of chronic illness and advocates returning to ancestral foods rich in natural fats and nutrients. He stresses that flavor and enjoyment are critical for sustainable healing.
- On the spiritual side, Larry reframes the Abrahamic religions as distortions of deeper wisdom traditions, contrasting the figure of Yeshua (aligned with love and sovereignty) with the institutionalized Jesus narrative. He highlights the divine feminine, Sophia, as a source of intuition and co-creation with the cosmos.
- Finally, Larry encourages listeners to “write your own gospel and live your own myth,” seeing authentic, kind, and sovereign living as both a spiritual and practical act of resistance to what he calls the parasite class—forces of fear and manipulation seeking to block human awakening.

Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. I've got Larry diamond here and he has been on a healing journey and now he also does health coaching along with his wife Kay Lynn. And they're the co founders of Healing with Diamonds, which I love the name. Welcome to the show.
Healing with the Diamonds. So are diamonds incorporated in the practice or is that just a way to make it interesting?
I know crystals. So part of Crazy Wisdom is I like this one philosopher teacher and his name is Dr. David Hawkins. And talking about healing has definitely helped me out a lot on that. And he talks about the line between. He's got this crazy scale of consciousness thing, which maybe you're familiar with, maybe my listeners are familiar with it. Where there's a love, there's a line between love and reason. And it's the hardest line to pass. And so I find that above that line there are all these crazy things that are crazy for me because it feels like I'm still in the reason consciousness, but some of them work. And, and it all. It's all this like mixture of, of. Of rationality, but then also like magic, like what we were talking about. There is, there is magic in this universe and magic and spirit are the same thing, I would say. What do you think?
