High Protein and sleeping

Hi Robb and Nikki,

I started weight training almost a year ago and I've been mostly following a Keto/Carnivore'ish type of diet, and I'm focusing on keeping my protein intake to around 1g per pound of bodyweight.

Iv'e recently noticed an interesting pattern in my sleep. Those days where I'm strictly low carb-high protein, I tend to wake up at 4 am regardless of what time I go to sleep.

I usually go to bed at 10, but even when I went to bed at 12 - same thing happened!

It's always the same time - betwwen 4 to 4:30 and from then until wake-up time I'm drowsing on and off!

The other days when I'm adding carb throughout the day, my sleep is amazing!

I've tried adding a little carb at night on my low carb days, sometimes a banana, sometimes even a piece of cake, but to no sucess.

I take vitamin D every day both from the sun (when available) and from supplements (10000 UI).

I'm 30 years old and I work out 3-4 days a week bodybuilding style.

Oh and I fall asleep quite fast at night, but it's the waking up that bothers me.

Hope you can help me, and waiting for your kosher certification on your LMNT's.

Brother’s horrific fibro post op kidney transplant

Longest time listener, first time caller,

My brother (28 years old) suddenly went into kidney failure for no reason anyone has provided a good explanation for on Christmas Day 2019. He was on hemodialysis and then peritoneal dialysis until July of 2022. He underwent a kidney transplant from the best human among us. ‘Phase II’ of his transplant included (was supposed to include) receiving stem cells from his donor post operatively, with emerging data showing reduction of anti-rejection meds with treatment. The trial was cancelled 10 days before he was supposed to participate, and who knows what happened to these stem cells. He is currently experiencing excruciating full body pains and has been diagnosed with medication induced fibromyalgia. He eats SQUEAKY clean, 5’10/160lbs but has poor tolerance to exercise because getting hot or sweating makes him itch excessively. He is nearing hopelessness due to the severity of symptoms and since his clinical trial was cancelled, will never receive those already harvested/cultured stem cells. I can’t watch him suffer anymore and gratefully ask for any suggestions or referrals you could provide.

You guys rock - found you guys in 2013 and it changed everything for me.

Sincerely,

Concerned sister

 

TRT

Matt:

Hi Robb

I know you've brought up this subject in the past and chronically you experience with clomid.

Have your thoughts on TRT changed recently for those of us in the 50ish region?
