Any idea why someone who has eaten eggs regularly for their entire life, 40+ yrs, suddenly develops bad odor after eating them? Not bad breath, not B/O, but a really bad smell (sulfur) coming from deep within? Thanks!   Lactic Acidosis Lacy writes: Hi Robb and Nikki, 1st I want to say thank you for all your honesty and prospective, especially on some controversial topics recently (ie politics). I truly appreciate the perspective and makes me ponder beliefs I have/had. My question: my husband recently started doing BJJ (he did it in his 20s but stopped for a good decade) and he has had short bouts of severe burning/cramping and weakness in his arms during/after BJJ. Based on how he describes it, I think he is experiencing lactic acidosis. I had him start taking beta-alanine but he hasn't felt much improvement. He uses LMNT before and after workouts so I don't think it's an electrolyte issue. Any thoughts/recommendations on how to help him prevent this?

I hate wearing glasses. Additionally most are UV blocking, which is something I want in my eyes. Should contacts be ditched! What do you or your family do?   Choosing a Functional Doc Chris writes:  Hello, Long time fan boy... Any advice on picking a good functional medicine doctor in my local area? Google search? Anything to look for, or look out for? I found a local MD with a long time in family medicine, who transitioned to integrative holistic medicine about 10 years ago, and then got an ABoIM about 5 years ago. I can only assume that ABoIM is a board certificate of some kind? Sounds like integrative medicine is similar to functional medicine? I ask because I have become a moody AF little bitch after a year on a statin. My original family doc and my precision health report says the cholesterol is on the risky to highly risky side of things. I have always wanted to get off of the statin, and try the PCSK9 inhibitor you discussed some months back. Finally aiming to start that transition. Any help or advice on doc selection is appreciated!

Probably the worst and most violent case I’ve ever had - it took me about three days to get my appetite back. When I did, I definitely over-indulged in food and drink for the remaining week-and-a-half abroad. Needless to say, my gut has gone through a lot, and I never really did anything to reconcile it after being sick. Any tips on doing a gut reset, post-travel? Appreciate all that you both do.

Ryan writes: Hi Robb and Nikki, I’m one of the original six listeners and still look forward to the podcast every week. I’ve seen a couple influencers on social media say that wearing sunglasses while we are out in bright sunlight causes our body to not produce things that protect our skin from damage. Is there any actual truth to this, or is it purely theoretical/based on mechanisms?

At first, you notice a coworker or boss lipping them, then at a team dinner after a cocktail or two you become curious and try one. Then you want a shared experience at work so you begin bumming some around the office with friends. Next thing you know you’re buying sleeves of them and using 4-6 a day… Because of the little research on them, most info on nicotine is in relation to cigarettes or tobacco chew, which both of these things I would imagine are way worse and have many more chemicals and bad shit in them, and are linked to poor cardio vascular health and increase risk of stroke, cancer and clogged arteries. Beyond the addictive nature of nicotine, what major health risks am I inviting in by using these nicotine pouches? (The brand I’m using is Zyn). Am I potentially hardening or clogging my arteries? Or increasing my cancer risk? Mouth cancer or otherwise? Weirdly enough I’ve actually noticed some potential health benefits of using them. My urge to drink alcohol has pretty much vanished. I would usually have a couple cocktails Thursday nights to unwind from the stressful week and get ready for the weekend, then continue drinking through the weekend having about 3-4 drinks a day (beer, wine or cocktails) to reward myself for the week. Now, I’ll go weeks without drinking at all, or maybe the occasional 2 lite beers a week or a glass or two of red a week. Before, once I had my first drink, I would continue to seek out more drinks (but usually never more than 4 or maybe 5). Now, if I have one or two I can easily walk away from booze. It’s like that little urge to seek more has just gone away. They have a similar effect on food, diminishing the urge to overeat or eat junk foods. I know everything is a trade off. But to me it seems like swapping alcohol for nicotine pouches is a fairly positive trade off. But please let me know what you think, would love to know your thoughts on the potential negatives of these little lip pillows.   Prenatal/Childhood vaccines  Maizy writes: Dear Robb and Nikki, my boyfriend and I (28yrs old) (long time listeners) are expecting our first child at the end of summer! We are in Vancouver, Canada. There’s a lot of pressure and confusion around the vaccines for pregnant mama and baby. They especially want me to get a TDaP shot, antibiotics during labour (if I’m Strep B positive) and then there’s the Vitamin K shot at birth, the antibiotic eye drops, and then there’s the whole infant/childhood vaccine schedule… We are in over our head and don’t know what to do or believe. They put the fear of God into you. They basically tell you your baby might die unless you do the “recommended” protocol. We want to do the right thing and give our baby the healthiest start we can. But we didn’t get the Covid Jabs and have lost a lot of faith in the mainstream sick-care system. Seeking any advice.

A systematic review Precision Health Reports Questions:    Low Carb and CrossFit Brandon writes: Hey! I’m a Type 1 diabetic whom used to compete in powerlifting but whom now does mostly Crossfit and Hybrid sports. I’ve found low carb tends to work best in terms of blood sugar control and when I was powerlifting it didn’t seem to hinder performance. However I’ve noticed I tend to see my performance hindered following a low carb approach while doing CrossFit. Is there a way to have the best of both worlds? I’ve experimented with glucose tabs and UCAN with some success. Right now I’m debating if getting 150ish carbs from UCAN or sweet potatoes would be a good compromise.   Sodium Deficiency Teri writes: Hello Nicki & Robb- I’ve been a lover and subscriber of LMNT since it was released. I’m a mountain runner and love that I can get my sodium from something that tastes delicious & hydrates me instead of salt pills when I need it. Also the new sparkling LMNT is so good after a long workout. I have something I’ve wondered though, is it supposed to taste “salty”? To me it tastes more sweet than anything & it’s why I usually mix it at about half-power because at full power it’s just too sweet for me. I had my son taste it and he said it tasted salty to him. Could that mean I’m deficient if I don’t taste it? I do not limit my salt outside of taking LMNT as I am very active and have very low blood pressure (90s/60s) so figure I need all the help I can get. However I do not track it either so I’m not sure how much sodium I get in a day. I eat a very non-strict but healthy, omnivorous diet, the only things I don’t consume are gluten and alcohol. Thanks for the insight, and for all your amusing banter!   Cardiovascular Risk Brett writes: I'm a 44yo lean male living in Vancouver, Canada - 6'2" 180lbs who is quite active (gardening, Ultimate frisbee, weights, walking, outdoor activities) and after a bout of Lyme disease 10 years ago I have been very careful with my diet and lifestyle. I do the AIP style of eating at least once a year, generally eating Paleo with more carbs over Summer when I am more active. I am a shift worker but try to avoid the midnight shifts where I can as I know the loss of sleep affects me; I have a family history of heart issues which of course raises my risk profile on most tests. About once a year I get bloodwork done to keep on top of my health as I get older. Recently I had a SmartHealth Dx test done with my Naturopath. My IL16, FAS, Eotaxin and HGF scores were elevated giving me a heart age of over 80 years old. General blood test at the same time had Hemoglobin A1C at 5.7%, cholesterol 7.11 mmol/L, LDL cholesterol 4.59 mmol/L, HDL cholesterol 2.38 mmol/L, Apoliprotein A-1 2.22 g/L, triglycerides 0.31 mmol/L. Any thoughts on how these results could be? I am very active, I do work hard but I try to be conscious of when I am overdoing it (as I am a list maker with many things "to do"!!)
