Podcast Questions:

1. LASIK [17:19] Mark says: Hi Robb and Nikki, On last week's episode Robb mentioned getting LASIK. I don't think I've heard this mentioned on the podcast before. I'm short-sighted (-4.00), and have long been considering LASIK. But, something about it just makes me feel squeamish. Robb, how much research into the procedure did you have to do before getting comfortable with it? Are there any major thoughts/findings from your research worth sharing? And, you being someone who's active and does BJJ, did you consider LASEK (ek) over LASIK (ik), which I've read is often preferred by military personnel/police/boxers/the like (anything high impact). From an article in The Times (UK): "Unlike the most common form of laser eye surgery, Lasik, the operation used on military personnel, Lasek, does not involve slicing a flap in the cornea because there is a slim chance that a hard blow could dislodge the flap. Boxers, police officers and those with a very active lifestyle are also advised to opt for Lasek." How was your recovery – being able to get back into physical activity? Any and all thoughts that might help me overcome my squeamishness would be much appreciated! Mark

2. Returning to fitness after cancer [29:48] Greg says: Hey Robb and Nikki, I have a friend who has just finished an extensive round of chemo treatments. He wants to know what would be the best way to pursue getting back in shape and getting his health in order post-chemo. Are there any specific things he should focus on in terms of diet and exercise? Thanks for everything you do.

3. Essential Tremors [32:25] Sandy says: I have heard you mention several times on Podcasts that you are finding some relief from your essential tremors with lions mane. I would love to do my own experiment to see if this would help me. What form of lions mane would you suggest? What dosage would you shoot for? How long did it take until you saw some relief? All of the drugs I have tried for my tremors gave me side effects that were worse than the tremors themselves. So I had given up. This is the first time in a long time I have felt hopeful. Thanks for what you do!
