Constant Sinus Congestion

Craig writes:

Hello, love the show and all that you do.

Our oldest son is 18. We have another son (16) and a daughter (14). The oldest gets colds more often and more seriously than the other two. He seems to have sinus congestion that’s nearly constant, needing to blow his nose in the morning and throughout the day. Sometimes a cough as well. He had an undescended testicle at birth and had surgery at age one. Could this contribute to his issues? He had herpetc whitlow and a secondary infection as a toddler and began getting cold sores on his lips a couple times per year since. Does this just set him up to have a weaker immune system than his siblings? His mother also gets cold sores but not always one per year. He eats a pretty typical teenage diet as do the other two, meaning too much sugar and snacks. Are there any foods in particular that may be more likely to contribute? He loves milk and drinks quite a bit. My wife looks in her Holistic Guide to Wellness book which confirms our suspicion to cut out most of that stuff and see the result, but he is a teen who knows it all, so of course he seems uninterested. Being mostly carnivor-ish ourselves it’s frustrating. I’m hoping for some ideas or support from someone who isn’t his parent to help him understand. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Peptide Therapy

Good morning

I have been a long term listener of your show. And chocolate salt is my favorite flavor. I am 45 and most likely dealing with hormone issues with the lack of progesterone.   I typically am carnivore with out much dairy.  I exercise at least 5 to 6 days per week.  Variety of crossfit , biking, strength training, hyrox.  However, I am a runner or at least that's what I envision doing.  I have had a long issue with knee and IT band.  On you last show you had mentioned peptide use.  I don't live far from bozeman just down the way in wyoming.  Where do you recommend getting your peptides from I am taking an oral pbc 157 but I am wanting to get the Nest product I can to see if it will help.  Also, I am interested in injections.  Anyways thank you both for all you do, I always look forward to new episodes!

Next Viral Wave

Robb:

I am a huge fan.

In August, 2021 I got the COVID. My 18 yo son brought it home from his job. I spent a week feeling run down and achey, but still worked and trained normally. At the start of week two, I decided to stay home and try to rest. By the end of week two I was delirious with fever, could not stop coughing, O2 saturation levels were low (I was using a home finger monitor) and I feared death. The ambulance was summoned and I was admitted to the hospital where they treated my symptoms with standard modalities including anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, anti virals, oxygen nasal canula, etc. I did receive Remdesivir. I almost immediately began to feel better and 6 days later was discharged in an emaciated and weakened state with an Rx for home oxygen. My self directed home recovery regimen consisted of breathing exercises with an incentive spirometer, walking, sitting in sun and getting back to lifting as quickly as possible. Even still, I used supplemental oxygen for another 4 weeks until I couldn't deal with the nosebleeds any longer and quit it cold turkey.

I was at that time a 51, highly active, well muscled, 15% bodyfat, Floridian with high levels of Vit.D and natural sun exposure, whole food eater, lower carb but not keto, meat/egg heavy diet, non-drinker, non smoker. Lifelong Barbell training for max strength in the big three, plus walks outside for cardio. No medications, no pre-existing conditions. Nurses told me they were shocked I was there with the 'Rona, given my obvious state of vigorous good health.

Here we are, 5 years post Corona-19: do we know any damn thing about this disease and why some people got it bad and some people did not? My wife (51) sons (18, 16) and daughter (8) were also sick when I was, but bounced back quickly without issue. Why did I - who was/am 180 degrees from the fat/sick/diseased/aged phenotype - get hit by this so hard? I have excellent lungs and lung capacity, which makes me wonder if I have lung tissue that is more soft, tender, open, porous, etc. that allows for better gas exchange/utilization but, which pre-disposes me to infections like this? I don't know - I am reaching.

As we face other pandemics - and they keep 'em coming given how successful C19 was in making political hay - how do I distinguish between hype and reality? Clearly, we can no longer count on our public health officials for a sane, sober and reasonable response and risk assessment. "Science? I am the Science!!!"

I am concerned about the next viral wave and my personal health, because I see no reason for why I was vulnerable, but I was. Very. What the hell happened? I have zero regrets about not-having taken the mRNA shots, but I do trust and believe in the value/utility of real vaccines and modern medicine generally, despite the recent C19 tomfoolery. I do feel like I received excellent care when I was hospitalized in 2021 and am grateful for the care I received. I just don't want to ever have to receive it again.

Help me, Robb Wolf. Feel free to ramble.
