I’m hoping you have some thoughts or suggestions on this one. Background: I’m a lean, 56 yo male who follows a lower carb (50-75g daily) / higher protein diet (1+g/body weight). I’m very in tune with my diet given my wife is a T1D following Bernstein. I lift weights 3x/week and run about 20 miles/week (because I enjoy it). Admittedly, my work stress is high and I work about 50-60 hours/week. I get about 7.5 hours of sleep nightly and do all the sleep hacks to ensure I’m getting restful sleep. I’ve been wearing a CGM in hopes to better understand a recent A1c test of 6.0. I also had my fasting insulin level checked and it was 3 - so I don’t think I’m insulin resistant. The CGM consistently shows fasting glucose around 115 and staying there through mid afternoon, when I’ll typically drop into the 90s. I see spikes for exercise as high as 160, but come back down within 1-2 hours. I’m trying berberine (even though I don’t have a carb load) and l-theanine for the stress spikes, but so far, I’m not seeing much change Could this all be stress related? Any suggestions on how to fix this? Could this be gluconeogenesis from too low calorie? I don’t think I eat too few calories and am about to embark on some tracking to see where I am.   Keto and xanthelasma Fredrik writes: Hi Robb and Nikki, I have a question about a condition I heard you mention once on the podcast, xanthelasma. Basically yellow spots around the eyes. I have been on paleo since 2009 and keto since 2012 and you were some of the first people I found on my journey. It really has changed my life for the better. Back in 2009 I was training 5-6 days a week as a 28-year old with good performance but still had a less than optimal body composition and generally did not feel great. Now many years later on keto, as you guys often say, I look, feel and perform much better. There is just one nagging issue, yellow spots around my eyes. They started to occur after about three years on keto and I had a couple of them removed surgically but they are now coming back slowly. Obviously I cant keep on having surgery, so what to do? I have theorized that dairy might be a contributing factor but the problem of just trying to remove something is that I will not know if it is effective until years later. I have tried but it is very hard to find any useful advice for this online. Some people mention that supplementing with bile salt could help, what do you think? Physically and mentally I feel my absolute best on keto bordering to carnivore so I really want to maintain that. Dairy has also been really helpful for me to get enough calories for my workouts (three days a week of heavy weights and two days of either running or cross country skiing). So how do I know what to do and is dairy a likely contributor? Also, what else, other than dairy, could I eat to get in the calories for not just maintaining but building muscle? Protein is at 150-200 grams per day btw and aiming for around 2600-3000 calories a day. Thanks for all your great work with the books and podcast!

First was about long term Imodium use. I am one of the six who truly appreciate what you do and listen all the time. I’m also an LMNT believer. This one is for my mother in law. She has controlled diabetes with diet and exercise for years. I would say they are Paleo on the lower end of protein. Now her A1C and fasting glucose are going up. Lots of walking and biking (weather permitting on the biking). Walking upwards of 7-10 miles a day. Could this be causing her body to produce more glucose for energy if protein is low or is her time up and leading towards insulin after all these years. Would weights be a benefit? Failed to mention she is in her low 70’s and pretty small framed.   Junk food calories - can the junk be burned?  Caleb writes: Howdy Robére and Nikki, I'm an OG supporter that came across you all while I was working for one of the first Whole30 approved products, Tessemae's All Natural. I've been to a handful of PaleoFX events and my last one was a few years back where we connected at the LMNT booth and I just want to extend my appreciation for you two staying true to real food and nuanced information without turning into sh*thead snake oil salesman selling Beauty Counter or other garbage products like the majority of the old "real food influencers". I recently started ultra training and found that if I use whole foods for all my fuel I end up with a giant rock in my stomach and occasionally have to sprint off trail to test my below 90 degree wall sits on a tree to relieve myself. I've since gone towards gu's and swedish fish for my training and race fuel and the rest of my calories come from lean red meat, fruits, japanese sweet potatoes, avo oil, ghee, and trace amount of calories from a little slice of heaven called LMNT (plug). My digestion is great, my stool is strong, my skin is clear(ish. I always have trouble with acne), and my energy is solid. I just want to make sure I'm not causing any long term issues by crushing swedish fish, gu's, and chilled peanut m&ms during training and wondering if the fact that I'm currently a furnace for calories, if that furnace burns the "bad" stuff in processed foods along with the calories themselves. Stay salty, C   Weight Loss and Maintenance Jenn writes:  Hi Robb & Nikki, I want to start by first saying thank you for the entertaining and informative podcast as well as the delicious electrolytes! My question today is related to weight loss and how to potentially move that needle. Sorry for the long winded story and question! I'm a 34 year old female 5'7" and 175 pounds. I have a desk job, but I am active every day. I box/kickbox twice a week, crossfit once a week, swim laps once a week, practice yoga/mobilty several times a week, strength train at least once a week (aim for 2-3x) and I walk between 7 & 10,000 steps every day. I have in the past lost weight doing chronic cardio and extreme calorie restriction, and I have reached 155 pounds, which is where I feel the best (confidence and energy wise), but of course, once I stop the extreme dieting and exercise, the weight comes back on. At my heaviest I was 215 pounds but I am able to maintain 175 very easily now, but getting that last 15-20 pounds off and keeping them off is a major struggle. Peter Attia has said that your waist should be half of your height or less, so at 5'7", my waist should 33.5" and I'm at 37" and it will not budge. I eat a very clean diet, following Paul Saladino' animal based framework - beef, eggs, chicken, apples, blueberries, hard cheeses (parmesan and old cheddar), potato, carrots, squash, sauerkraut,

I have been a fan for over 10 years. You, along with a couple others, helped me to find the paleo diet when I was in the midst of several health issues. Long story short, I changed not just my diet, but my lifestyle years ago and have never looked back. I am actually writing to you on something unrelated to diet, something I never thought I would do! My husband and I live near a big city and over the last few years we have become increasingly unhappy with our environment. We have always loved cities for their walkability, culture, and convenience, but our city leaders keep developing to the point where my 5-year old daughter doesn’t even know what “the woods” are. Also, while my daughter seems to love school, we have concerns for her staying in the public education system with all its current issues. We are seriously contemplating a move into the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, my husband would have a long commute to work, but this would enable us to possibly do some things we have dreamed about such as homeschooling or finding a microschool for our daughter, have chickens and/or goats and bees, and create our own environment instead of worrying about the city building something in our backyard. I am writing to you all for advice. Do you have any tips for starting this journey? Any thoughts on starting homeschooling for a 5 year old, especially for a kid that is extremely social and extroverted? I currently work fulltime, but will have to quit to either support her schooling or look for a remote position that will offer me some flexibility. Either way, I have some obvious anxiety over all these changes, but it would be good to hear your thoughts and any lessons learned. Thanks for all you do and for continuing fighting the good fight.   Homeschooling Jack writes:  Hi Robb and Nicki We’re struggling a bit with our daughter  just now. She’s not loving school, not wanting to go, not engaged by it particularly, all this against a backdrop of some sensory processing disorder that makes the whole environment a little much for her. The occupational therapist thinks autism - if it’s there it’s fairly mild.  So we were discussing all options - pushing the school a bit harder, moving her elsewhere etc and the possibility of home schooling. I was wondering what that actually looks like for you guys. How much of their academic learning do you provide personally?  Are any of the online teaching resources really good? What is a realistic time commitment? Would you do this if you just had the one child, or do you feel that they’d be too isolated? Do you take steps to ensure that they spend time away from home or from you, for example. Are there other aspects of this that we may easily miss as we try to anticipate what it might look like?    Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

For years I've supplemented 400 mg of Mg nightly based on Rhonda Patrick's recommendation. I always use a highly bioavailable form (e.g. Glycinate or Malate). Recently I've had some discussions with people online who brought to my attention that supplemental Mg *at best* provides like 15% elemental Mg (i.e. a 400 mg supplement gives you 50-60 mg Magnesium). I thought this was fine since I eat a paleo diet rich in fruits and vegetables, which presumably provide a few hundred milligrams of Mg, and I supplement LMNT; but some argue that with our modern soil situation plus anti-nutrients in other foods (not sure if that applies to Paleo people) means that our dietary Mg intake is effectively zero. My questions: 1) Can you get most of your Mg from food in a reasonably simple Paleo diet? 2) If supplementing, is 400 mg (The Rhonda Patrick recommendation; 50 mg elemental) Mg enough if you do (1)? 3) Can you supplement hundreds of milligrams of elemental Mg without shitting your pants? Keep up the good work. Charles   Psoriasis Steve writes:  Any evidence on any particular dietary solutions to help with psoriasis? I turned 50 and it hit me, mainly my right hand and right foot. Makes lifting difficult. Chalk, Wash, leather up with doc spartan and repeat. I am on a medication, lowest dose. Prefer not to use meds at all, it helps, keeps the tearing pain to an acceptable level to keep moving forward.   Semaglutide Trevor writes:  What’s the deal with semaglutide? I’ve read that it slows down stomach emptying, but wonder what the health risks might be? I have a family member who legitimately needs to lose about 100 pounds. They have some orthopedic and neurological issues that make exercise pretty difficult right now. Some version of semaglutide seems pretty appealing right now, if just to get the weight loss ball rolling. Thanks to you both for your podcast.

I suffered a massive ankle injury from a bike accident, so am looking for as much extra help healing as I can get. I'm already getting 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight and eating paleo plus lots of homemade bone broth. Maybe the extra collagen isn't necessary? Thanks, Eric   Diatomaceous Earth for Silica and Heavy Metal Detox Nate writes: Hey Robb and Nicki, Appreciate all you do. Long time reader and listener. Have you dug into (or tinkered around with) diatomaceous earth as a supplement? I’ve been hearing about how consuming a food grade version of this at low doses (~a teaspoon a day) can detox heavy metals from your body, and that it is high in silica, which has been claimed to have health benefits of its own. As more and more metals are discovered in our food, our foods packaging (such as aluminum cans), our water supply, and really in our environment all around us, do you see the consumption of diatomaceous earth as an effective and also safe way to help rid your body of some, or any of these metals? Thanks guys.   Exercise and Blood Pressure as T-10 paraplegic Eric writes: Robb and Nicki, thanks so much for your balanced approach to all the questions you answer. And thanks for all the wisdom you dispense. It’s truly appreciated. A rundown on myself: I’m a 35yo male, 5”10 and 155lbs. I’ve been a T-10 paraplegic for 20 years. I had a MVA when I was 15, which resulted in my spinal cord injury (SCI). I’ve been eating paleo for about 3 years now with great success. I’ve never felt better and I’ve never been more regular. Being regular can be a very difficult thing when you have a neurogenic bowel. I recently had bloodwork done. Cholesterol 215. Triglycerides 34. HDL 69. LDL 136. Non HDL 146. Coronary risk ratio 3.12. Hemoglobin A1C 5.2. Mean glucose 103. Insulin 5.3. Every man in my family seems destined to have a heart attack or need a stint at age 50, so I’ve really tried to be as healthy as possible. I feel like I’m doing pretty good. If not, please tell me. I work 40 hours a week and try to be as active as possible. I also have an 18 month old so she keeps me moving. But I have a couple concerns. Exercise: it feels like, damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I know it’s important, but every single time I try to exercise regularly, I always end up pulling something. EVERY DAY IS ARM DAY. And when that’s the case, it takes forever for things to heal up. I’ll inevitably have to take 2 or 3 entire weekends where I do nothing but sit on the couch and watch movies all day, trying to rest the injury as much as possible. This is on top of regular “wheelchair life” repetitive stress injuries. I can’t help but feeling like the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze. I’m probably better off staying as generally ac

I'm an active 38yr young full time mom to two boys, 5 and 3. And I have an A1c problem. This isn't a new problem, so I cant blame it on my still occasionally disrupted sleep. Years before my kids my A1C was 5.7 and as a dietitian I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. At that time I lifted weights, occasionally swam, and ran 1-2x wk. I didn't eat 100% paleo, but I also didn't eat junk and I was relatively lean around 14-16% body fat. I worked with a naturopath on some hormone issues (low estrogen and progesterone from not eating enough to fuel exercise), and she never had a good answer as to why my a1c was on the high side of normal. The only factor we found was my fasting insulin was kinda low at 3. I did get my A1c down into the 4s following a keto diet, but was again not eating enough food to maintain my weight or support hormone production and lost my period. I used a CGM for a while and nothing surprising came from it other than sweet potatoes = giant spikes but pasta and white potatoes do not. Fast forward to now, I'm 5'3" 124# and guessing around 18% body fat. I started competing in Kettlebell Sport 2yr ago and I want to continue getting stronger so I can lift 16kg bells this coming year. My coach wants me to put on 3-5# of muscle. But my recent A1C once again at 5.7 has me scared to eat the 180-200g of carbs recommended by him and most fitness calculators. I'm in a hypertrophy phase for the next couple months and lifting heavy 4x wk with no real cardio. Daily food is often a high protein/fiber smoothie with about 30-40g of carb and 10+g fiber. Post workout I usually have a cup of cereal or kids cliff bar + whey protein powder. Lunch is usually a big ass salad + a piece of bread or leftovers meat and veg with rice, pasta, potato. When I track these days I do get 130-150g protein. I have a dietitian friend who has gone through Joel Greens program and she believes the issue lies in my gut and that underlying inflammation is disrupting my insulin signaling. Because we cant come up with any other ideas as to the cause. So what's a girl todo? Keto gains? Lean Gains? Jason Seib's old AltShift diet? Joel Greens 2 day core? How do I eat enough calories to support my goals of strength and maintaining my hormone levels, while simultaneously not overeating carbs. Or is 5.7 good enough? Thanks for any thoughts you might have.   Proper Supplement Absorption Angie writes:  I’m looking for solid information on vitamin and supplement absorption and best time of day to be taken. Can you shed light on this? It is one thing to know or Rx for supplement but another when and with what to take or not take with it. Great show! Thank you   What do you feed your dogs?  Jason writes: I have been a fan of y’all since I read sacred cow, currently I’m reading wired to eat.  I try to practice carnivore, but with life and kids I’m moderately successful, but overall happy with my diet choices. I’m also a veterinarian and after reading your books and thinking about our 4 legged friends, I’m trying to figure out what diets to recommend.  I have recommended canned food for cats for years because they are obligate carnivores.  Dogs are a little tougher, I feel like they would benefit from the carnivore lifestyle, but who has time to cook for their pets that much?  I barely have time to feed myself and family.  So what do the wolf’s feed their dogs?   Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

Have been listening on and off since the paleo solution days with Greg Everett. (six listeners can't be wrong!) Quick back story (that you can cut if this is too much but maybe helpful context), about a year ago I had a bout of food poisoning and developed a weird aversion/anxiety around eating for a few months after. I got through it with meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy and completed the Nerva hypnotherapy course recently (which was pretty nice). I think a lot of ibs symptoms that I developed came from anxiety, panic, hypervigilance and fixation and have mostly subsided as I worked in it. However, I still have problems with Regularity. I'll have a few days of slow digestion and some heartburn, bloating, and gas then a few days of everything coming out with some moderate to severe "get your ass to the bathroom quick!" mixed in, then back to slow... You get the picture. It's like things get backed up then all move at once, rinse and repeat. Went to a gi doc and he was pretty not helpful - tested for celiac (I don't have it) and IBD (I don't have it) and then told me to, like, ya know, drink Metamucil and maybe, if I wanted, follow a low fodmap diet, or whatever man... Oh, and stop drinking kombucha. Good luck! I also did a Viome test and it told me my overall gut health was good but digestion scores were poor and have some very vague dietary recommendations, though I haven't tried their probiotic yet. Anyway, with the testing behind me I went down the path of looking back at diet and driving myself insane, it's just so hard to pick through the noise Fiber is good! No fiber is not necessary! Eat yogurt! No actually, dairy is bad! Take Probiotics! No, Probiotics don't matter, take prebiotics instead! It's probably Sibo bro! But you can easily check for that so.... And on and on it goes. OK, so my actual question is: Are there any general dietary or lifestyle non-negotiables you would reccomend to help with digestion and regularity? What are the food or diet boxes to tic. Maybe there are even some supplements or other potential things like zone 2 cardio, abdominal massage, cold showers... Anything. I'm pretty healthy otherwise with my exercise being wendler powerlifting and rucking, but don't follow a super strict diet. I do now super enzymes before the first bite of lunch and dinner and take Probiotics on and off along with some fermented foods. I try to drink a lot of water but fiber drinks tend to give me some stomach upset. Appreciate you taking the time to read this. Thanks for any help you can give!   GERD, ammonia breath, and macros Nancy writes: Hi Robb and Nikki: Been one of your 6 listeners since the Paleo Solution Podcast days and first just want to thank you both for the wealth of knowledge you continue to share... your curiosity, smarts, humility and sanity have been a godsend, especially over the last 3 years. Okay, here goes... I'm having two troubling issues and am wondering if they're related: I've had what I'm pretty sure is undiagnosed GERD for about the last 3 years, but a recent overindulgence at a cookout sent it over the top. I don't feel so much heart-BURN as bloating (in the stomach, not abdomen), along with a dry cough (mostly at night), a globus sensation in my throat, the feeling of post-nasal drip, and even fluid on the middle ear when things really flare up. Oh, and the first symptom I ever noticed was after an emergency appendectomy when I discovered my tooth enamel was being corroded... coincidence? To mitigate symptoms since this recent flare-up, I've been sleeping propped up at a 45-degree angle, chewing my food into oblivion, walking after meals, practicing diaphragmatic bre

I would appreciate your take on the effect of alcohol on the body. I am a health coach and I am trying to get as many perspectives as possible so I can offer knowledge to the clients who ask, about the pros and cons of the nightly glass(es) of wine, or the occasional weekend over indulgence. It seems that the deeper I dig on the subject, the more I feel we as a society need to educate ourselves about the potential impact that alcohol can have on our health rather than just look at it as a social acceptance or a “good source of resveratrol”. Please feel free to take a deep dive into the industry as well and a possible comparison to the tobacco industry and the lies that were being told regarding smoking.

I worry about it more as a woman, so I'm curious especially if Nicki has ever thought about it. Do you see a lot of people in classes developing it? Do you do anything like putting binder clips on your ears to prevent it? Thanks, and I appreciate all you both do.   Essential Tremor and GABA connection?    Drew writes: Because I haven't seen a response on the podcast yet re: the potential connection between ET's and a GABA deficiency, I was curious what your thoughts were on that deal. I got diagnosed with ET's about 18 months ago and noticed that my sleep has also been inconsistent in that time. I assumed it was mostly lifestyle (stressful job, two special needs kids, etc), but started to wonder how the sleep inconsistency and ET's could be connected. I know it's a bit of a correlation/causation deal, but based on Doc Parsley's work on sleep and this study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4108714/), I'm curious what your thoughts are on the subject and if you've had any more luck in piecing this whole thing together. If it helps, been Paleo for a more than a decade, and recently leaned into more of Paul Saladino's stuff, especially adding the fruit & honey after jits, which I've been training for 2-3 days a week for about 8 months. I too notice a bit uptick in the ET severity after more than 2 cups of coffee, which is pretty rare nowadays since cutting back the caffeine helps so much with sleep and the ET severity.

I am an active 35 year old male, 5'10", and about 165-170lbs. I eat whole foods, walk about 9,000-12,000 steps/day, lift 5x/week (switched to bodybuilding split for joint recovery), and most importantly train Jiu Jitsu 4x/week. I am very conscious with respect to my training and lifting as I would like to make this a lifetime practice. I have been training Jiu Jitsu for a little over 8 years and lifting about 12 years. I am always thinking about longevity and how I can preserve my body to the best of my ability. Obviously Jiu Jitsu can have other plans and can disrupt this preservation process, which is why I made an effort to switch to a more controlled/"old man" game about 5 or so years ago.  However, my question is more focused on the lifting aspect. I am curious how your philosophy has changed on weight training and what you think would be the best long term solution. I have a home gym with barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, weight vests, etc., but the older I get the more I realize that recovery and longevity is paramount. I would still like to maintain and/or gain muscle, but I would not like to sacrifice my longevity. How do you tackle this problem nowadays? Are calisthenics with or without a weight vest a good solution? I am always curious to hear your thoughts.

Hoping you can help add some thoughts here. Long story short I have UC that I just can’t control well with diet and lifestyle- 2 years ago, yes TWO YEARS I was put on humira when I first noticed an itchy rash on my back. No one could really figure it out back then. While on humira I got septic arthritis in my knee. 4 surgeries a PE and DVT later I was on IV and oral antibiotics for nearly 6 months. As you can imagine that rash got 1000x times worse along with the IBD. Anyway eventually the rash was identified as a pityrosporum folliculitis. Put on oral Fluconazole and ketaconazole creams which worked for a month or so then rash comes back with force. Had a bad UC flare up and put on steroids recently which completely masked the rash, and once off steroids it comes back 100x worse. It’s incredibly itchy and irritating. Outside of the antifungals I’ve tried probiotics like s.boulliard but doesn’t help. Besides the IBD I have PCOS I work hard to remain otherwise healthy. Very physically active and eat a healthy diet mostly paleo but because Im gallbladder less and don’t tolerate much fat, and do all the things to prioritize sleep, getting outside and supporting well being. Any thoughts on this rash that won’t quit. I clearly have an underlying process going on that the FOUR goddamn dermatologists I have seen for this are completely clueless on.
