1. Gut microbiome & antibiotics [36:36]

Alex says

Hi Robb!

I’ve heard you talk about the importance of a healthy gut microbiome and the impact it has on other areas of the body (mental health, etc). I wanted to get your opinion on potential solutions for promoting a healthy gut microbiome in less than ideal circumstances. I have ulcerative colitis and I’ve had my colon removed as well as some of my small intestine, I have been on antibiotics and steroids daily for about 1.5 years to deal with ongoing inflammation issues. I assume that the antibiotics wipe out any good gut bacteria I have on a daily basis, and I struggle to get any answers from my medical team on what I can do to maintain any sort of good gut bacteria. I’ve tried probiotics, but assume they’re counteracted by the antibiotics. Any suggestions or resources you think may help?

Thanks for all you do!

Alex

2. Queasy running [48:12]

Eric says:

Hi Robb - my wife and I are huge fans and she suggested I write to see if you had any thoughts on this. I’ve been an athlete my entire life and always a runner. Lately I’ve experienced nausea about a mile into my runs. I’m not running hard, in fact it’s really just as I’m getting warmed up. I’m breathing harder, but not like race-hard - if that makes sense.

We are huge LMNT fans and I consistently consume at least 6000mg of sodium daily. Particularly in the summer heat.

I don’t experience this any other time other than when I start to run. If I stop for a few min, the feeling generally passes and I can go on with my run. I’ve looked at what I’m eating prior to my runs and (1) nothing has really changed, even though this feeling is relatively recent and (2) I don’t see anything that I think would make me nauseous. I’m a pretty consistent and clean eater. Could this be an electrolyte issue??

For reference: I’m 5’9” 165lbs, lean/muscular.

We eat low carb (my wife follows Dr Bernstein) so I eat similarly but include dairy & berries

Would greatly appreciate any thoughts you might have on what could be causing this. Thanks for all you - and Nicki - do to keep us informed and entertained!
