I'm 34 years old and my wife is 31. We are going to start to try to get pregnant in a few months and want to get your advice on supplementation. My wife has been taking hart and soils "her package" supplement. Is there validity in taking reproductive organs to help with fertility ? We love their beef organ supplements but I want to know if there's actual science to back the claim with the reproductive organs help. We are very health conscious and take supplements according to our bi-annual bloodwork done by our naturopath. But would like to know if you have any general advice to help us be as fertile as possible going onto the process. Thanks for everything Tyler London Ontario Canada Trying to Start a New Life Matt writes: In a nut shell, I haven't exercised consistently in 13 years, my liver enzymes suggested fatty liver about 10 years ago, I've been a 10+ drink a night alcoholic for nearly 3 years. I'm 6ft and 325lbs. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I'm three days sober, and trying to work out and diet to save my life. The amount of information on the web on what diet to go on and how to exercise is like drinking from the fire hose. Hoping you could point me in a generalized or even a very specific direction.

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!

Gut Reset, Enclomiphene, Sunglasses and Skin Damage | THRR190
Please Subscribe and Review: Apple Podcasts | RSS Submit your questions for the podcast here News Topic: Aaron Siri on Dr. Stanley Plotkin - Vaccinologist Show Notes: Sunglasses May Play A Role In Depression Questions: Gut Reset after Stomach Flu Jane writes: Hi Nicki and Robb, I just returned from a two-week vacay in Europe; by day 2 of being there I got hit with a nasty 24-hour stomach bug. 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. Jane Enclomiphene Daniel writes: Can you share your results with enclomiphene and what is your opinion on dangers in the brain with blocking of estrogen receptors? Sunglasses cause skin damage? 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? Thanks, keep up the great work! Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.
