Podcast Questions:

1. Predicting the Future of Food | Bon Appétit [15:55]

CT says:

Hello Diana and Robb (and teams),

I was hoping one or both of you had heard about this article and the concepts it's talking about. The author references Dr. Morgaine Gaye who pens herself as a food futurologist - though I've no idea what her doctoral title is actually attributable to - and her ideas of Air Protein. What the heck is this?! It says that there's a high tech fermentation to turn CO2 into chicken (or whatever you want). This sounds outrageous, laughable at best to me. And as Robb always talks about, very carbon tunnel vision. Was just wondering if you guys could offer your thoughts on this one as I'd never heard of it before nor had I heard of this Dr. Gaye woman and her website was pretty sparse with biographical details.

Love both your podcasts and newsletters. Robb your substack is great! Just enough snark and humor which is right up my alley.

Diana - I've referenced some of your articles in newsletters to family members asking for nutrition info, it's been so helpful!

Keep it up both of you!

Cheers,

CT

2. What's up with Sunflower Oil in my Fish Oil? [22:59]

Bryan:

Hi! Just looking for clarity on the added sunflower oil to the fish oil. My wife has a nutrition business and we were researching fish oils. I've followed your stuff for over a decade.

Fish oil being a PUFA, inflammatory, added to fish oil doesn't make sense to us other than being a carrier oil or to fill a bottle.

Just curious and looking for a good product to refer our clients to with a good conscience.

Thanks!

Bryan

3. Is this Hypernatremia? [25:51]

Cassandra says:

Hi Rob and Nickie! My name is Cassandra and I am a 57-year-old woman with lymphocytic colitis, gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. I've been a carnivore for about two years, mostly consuming fatty ribeye with beef tallow . Regardless, my symptoms have flared up considerably.

I am also a Personal Trainer of 25 years and work about 60 hours a week. I walk about 15,000 steps a day and lift weights daily for 90 ish minutes. I had done so earlier that day.

I have a clear light infrared sauna and I have just gotten up to 150° this past week. Prior to that I've been getting out at 135° -144°. I always use LMNT prior to the sauna, and continue to drink it after the sauna. I only use a quarter to half of the packet as it's too salty otherwise.I use about 10 to 16 ounces of water for half a packet.

Yesterday evening I spent about 30 minutes in the hot sauna, and then drank the electrolyte drink afterwards. Because it was late at night I did not notice that I poured the whole packet in before adding water. So as I was drinking the LMNT and the water, it tasted mild as usual but when I got to the bottom a bolus of LMNT swept into my mouth and I swallowed before I could stop it. I didn't think anything of it and went to bed, but a few hours later I was vomiting and severe diarrhea that lasted throughout the night and into this afternoon the next day. I've been tired and weak and unable to work. Did I cause hypernatremia? Thank you for your input. I thoroughly enjoy your podcast
