The Modern Diet Is a Biosecurity Threat

1. Very low CGM numbers with keto diet [7:47] Krista says: Hi Robb & Nikki! Love all the work you guys are doing!! LOVE Scared Cow!!! I'm a 44 year-old women who started a keto diet in November to combate 15lbs of hormonal weight gain (a really stressful 5 years threw everything off despite eating very clean, working out, prioritizing sleep, etc). I lost about 8lbs right out the gates and a few lbs are still coming off very slowly. At the start of my keto journey I also discovered I have a histamine intolerance (long Covid???) and have modified my diet and done all the things to limit my histamines. My histamines have slowly but surely decreased but still not totally in the clear. With all that being said, I've been using a CGM to look at how my body interperts food for a while now (even before my keto diet) and my sugars have always been low (average around 90) but the numbers did increase with my histamines but now that my histamines are more under control my numbers are back to normal....super steady and never going above 110 unless during workouts. Finally my question....in the last 4 days my cgm numbers have gone super low!!! I'm averaging 65. I still feel completely normal (this is not a new cgm) and am sleeping normal despite it going into the 40's. Nothing has changed in my life or diet My daily macros....1800ish calories 100ish grams of protein, 40ish grams of carbs and the rest fat. I weigh about 135 and all my hormone levels are back to normal (I work with a NaturoPath). My only thought is as my histamines continue to decrease is this my new normal in ketosis or ????? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

2. Kids and food [14:33] Sydney says: I’d love to hear your approach to feeding your children at home and outside of the home (with grandparents, vacations, birthday parties, etc.). And how has that changed as they’ve grown? We’ve been able to just stick with our preferred food for the most part since they’ve been so little, but we are encountering more and more occasions where there are things offered that we wouldn’t usually let them eat in a million years! And we say no…but it doesn’t always sit quite right! Thoughts? Not so much worried about offending others…more so thinning about the ideas and beliefs we are instilling in them around nutrition.

3. Coffee Enemas [24:38] Doug says Robb: I’ve been a huge fan of yours for years. Thank you for all your content and all you do. I especially appreciate your integrity and truthfulness on all subjects. I have a family member who is trying to cure eczema with an elimination diet. What remains is mostly meat, fish, a limited selection of fruit along with a little bit of white rice. This person is lean, strong and very healthy, but has recently suffered painful outbreaks of eczema. The “guru“ we are following and doing this elimination diet recommends coffee enemas. Unfortunately, despite The enthusiasm of this guru, and many others on the inter-webzs, there is a surprising paucity of information on them out there. The closest thing to a theoretical explanation is that a vein in the colon leads right the liver and the caffeine/coffee stimulates the liver to pump out Lots of bile, with which aids in cleansing and flushing. I know, I know, cleansing and flushing and detoxes are mostly bullshit. But anecdotally, people seem to really love these coffee enemas. What’s the truth? Thanks
