Time to Rethink Alcohol

Karen writes:

Love you guys!! I would appreciate your take on the effect of alcohol on the body.

I am a health coach and I am trying to get as many perspectives as possible so I can offer knowledge to the clients who ask, about the pros and cons of the nightly glass(es) of wine, or the occasional weekend over indulgence. It seems that the deeper I dig on the subject, the more I feel we as a society need to educate ourselves about the potential impact that alcohol can have on our health rather than just look at it as a social acceptance or a “good source of resveratrol”. Please feel free to take a deep dive into the industry as well and a possible comparison to the tobacco industry and the lies that were being told regarding smoking. Are we being told the truth about the effects of alcohol on our body?

Please know that your podcast is very much appreciated and I look forward to hearing what is going on in the Wolf household. (Team Home Schooling!!)

Thank you for your time.

Cauliflower ear and BJJ

Kristi writes:

Hi Robb and Nicki,

Have you found cauliflower ear to be something to worry about in BJJ? I worry about it more as a woman, so I'm curious especially if Nicki has ever thought about it. Do you see a lot of people in classes developing it? Do you do anything like putting binder clips on your ears to prevent it?

Thanks, and I appreciate all you both do.

 

Essential Tremor and GABA connection? 

 

Drew writes:

Because I haven't seen a response on the podcast yet re: the potential connection between ET's and a GABA deficiency, I was curious what your thoughts were on that deal. I got diagnosed with ET's about 18 months ago and noticed that my sleep has also been inconsistent in that time. I assumed it was mostly lifestyle (stressful job, two special needs kids, etc), but started to wonder how the sleep inconsistency and ET's could be connected. I know it's a bit of a correlation/causation deal, but based on Doc Parsley's work on sleep and this study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4108714/), I'm curious what your thoughts are on the subject and if you've had any more luck in piecing this whole thing together.

If it helps, been Paleo for a more than a decade, and recently leaned into more of Paul Saladino's stuff, especially adding the fruit & honey after jits, which I've been training for 2-3 days a week for about 8 months. I too notice a bit uptick in the ET severity after more than 2 cups of coffee, which is pretty rare nowadays since cutting back the caffeine helps so much with sleep and the ET severity.

Thanks, Drew
