The Egg Apocalypse Revealed!
Uncle Rob says whatever eggs you can track down, it makes sense for you. This probably came in before the egg apocalypse. And they're in Alaska and getting a lot of game meat and salmon. So I can only imagine how expensive they are up there.

Exercise and IBD
Brittany says:
Hi Robb and Nikki! Absolutely love your podcast and have been listening to you for years. My question is about what your recommended minimum dose of exercise would be for a 38 year old, lean female with IBD. I'm not looking to lose or gain, just maintain the muscle mass I currently have. I have a less common type of IBD called Microscopic Colitis. Despite my meat based, paleo diet, my flares tend to come on randomly and last for weeks to months at a time. During this time, I tend to remain exhausted and depleted. I want to maintain my muscle mass but want and NEED to expend the least amount of energy possible to be able to function as a full time nurse practitioner with 3 young children. I currently strength train 2x weekly and walk a few times a week. I try to get some zone 2 cardio in when I'm not in a flare. Even the strength training feels like a lot though when my symptoms are at their worst and sometimes I feel inflammed for several days following a more intense or heavy lifting day. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Umbilical hernia recovery after surgery
Neil says:
Hi Rob & Nicki
I would like to start by thanking you for the great info you give out while managing to keep it entertaining for all.
I’ve recently just had open unbiblical hernia surgery, no mesh just stitched.
I practiced bjj 2-3 times a week and strength train about 2 times.
The surgeon advised to start to ease back in to training at about 6 weeks.
I was hoping for any advice on how you would structure you training to ease back in and any advice on exercises to help strengthen and protect that area.
Many thanks again keep up the great work.

Regular Eggs?
Justin says:
Hi Robb & Nicki!
My wife and I are long time followers of yours. We share your last name and in our house, you’re referred to as Uncle Robb - even to our kids. We respect the hell of you and Nicki’s opinions on things so we’d love to get your thoughts on something that came up recently.
We are a Coast Guard family so not only are we moving frequently (every 3-4 years) but our budget changes too. We recently moved to Kodiak, Alaska and it’s no secret it’s expensive here and availability of some foods (produce mostly but also eggs) is hit or miss at best. (Don’t worry, we’ve got all the game meat and salmon though).
We took Sacred Cow to heart, as permission to simply buy what we could afford vs. stretching ourselves thin for grass fed. It’s been a relief for our budget - so thank you. Our question is about eggs. We consume eggs daily. Not eating them for breakfast isn’t a habit we are willing to break. Does the same “best you can afford” apply to eggs too? Or should we be springing for pasture raised, cage free, organic, etc. Etc. Is a “regular” egg as nutritionally dense as a fancy one?
