The End of the Dollar as a Reserve Currency
"I have a feeling that, you know, the dollar is not going to remain a reserve currency forever," he says. "Nuclear war scares me, but the chances are i'll die directly as a cause of that." He's scared of hyper inflationary events due to mismanagement and on playing with all this collectivist, kind of socialist it. 'It just focking crushes everything'

Podcast Questions:
1. Long Haul Covid [19:17]
Robert says:
Any ideas on treatment strategies for long haul covid. Having daily bouts of fatigue 1 month out as well as muscle aches and brain fog, in addition you can't workout as it makes things worse. I'm carnivores mostly at this time. I'm 70years old 6 ft tall was 202lbs a month ago down to 186lbs now. Thanks very much!!
2. Balancing Blood Sugar During Pregnancy [23:56]
Lindsey says:
Hi Robb and Nicki,
I've learned so much from both of you! I'm 39, 34 weeks pregnant (3rd child) and having blood sugar issues for the first time.
A bit of background before pregnancy #3 (I can't help but think all of this may be relevant!): Just before pregnancy, I was at my highest weight at 190 but beginning to lose weight. I have primarily eaten a paleo diet (meat, veggies, no grains, no dairy, my only sugars were occasionally from honey, dates, maple syrup and a very occasional glass of wine) since 2016 with the exception of a short run of stressful family events happening in late 2018, including moving, when our lifestyle sort of took a backseat and wine and fast food intake went up, which is when I gained all of the weight. When I had trouble losing the weight, I saw a functional medicine doc fall 2019 and she did wonders through lab work and FODMAP to help me figure out my hormones were off- high estrogen, high cortisol- I had food intolerances (grains, dairy, sugar, alcohol, and coffee) and my B vitamins were low from malabsorption. Just as I was able to get things back under control, COVID happened. My family tried to maintain our re-established paleo lifestyle and exercised more (we also wondered why this wasn't being shared all over media?!) even through moving again.
So, just as I'm beginning to lose weight in 2021, I find out I'm pregnant (yea!). I have felt the absolute best this pregnancy- working out, eating mostly paleo, but adding in whole wheat toast with avocado or nut butter in the morning after eating a protein to add calories (the bread didn't seem to bother me), drinking LMNT on days I work out, etc. I had COVID in January and a stomach bug at the beginning of February and then realized I was dehydrated (drank more LMNT which helped me so much!). Within a week after that, I needed to take my 1-hour glucose test. I could feel I was bombing it the whole hour- my body didn't know what to do with 50 grams of sugar. My blood glucose was 153 from that blood draw (the marker they use here in San Antonio is 140). My doctor wanted me to take the 3-hour glucose test, but I knew fasting and with even more sugar, I was doomed. I asked if I could skip ahead to glucose monitoring. I'm currently on day 3 (numbers below) and here is what I'm curious about: why/how can I have high fasting numbers but normal numbers through the day. Also, on day 3, what are some possible causes of the lower fasting number- was it the potassium in the LMNT? Just drinking more water? Taking out the bread? Not eating dessert like I did the day before (ha)? Are there any other changes y'all recommend?
day 1: fasting: 104; after breakfast: 108; after lunch: 113; after dinner: 112 notes: date night- ate 1/3 of a creme brulee
day 2: fasting 103; AB: 101; AL 102; AD 114 notes: tried apple cider vinegar in water (1tbsp:1/2 cup) before bed and today I drank LMNT after not drinking it for about 4 days (didn't sound good/couldn't get it down). Felt great after drinking it!
day 3: fasting: 88; AB: 114
Sorry this is incredibly long! Thanks for your help.
Joyfully, Lindsey
