NOT COVID-19; INSTEAD, POO & EDEMA [10:46] Levi says: Robb, Nicki—good afternoon! Currently, I follow an intermittent-fasting, carnivore diet 85% of 71% of the time—that is, five times a week, my diet is comprised of loads of water and coffee, along with steak, bacon, chicken, eggs, whey protein shakes with a greens formula, Quest bars, and nuts; the other two days, I will eat whatever my heart pleases, which includes tacos, nachos, burgers, fries, beer, and occasionally, a few DQ Blizzards (the s'mores blizzard is back, so I have to indulge). Usually, my fasts are broken from 5:00PM-9:00PM. Honestly, this "diet" is one I have adhered to the most because of its flexibility and routine, allowing me to stay relatively lean and strong, without any major complications. However, recently, I have begun to have strange bowel movements—file this under TMI—where I have have Jeff Daniels-in-Dumb & Dumber-style poops. They are loose, watery, and dark brown to black. However, during the days I "go off the rails" with diet, my poops are "normal," in that they are solid and brown. I would love to seek assistance from an MD, but without health insurance, I am hoping to get some feedback from you. At my age, 31, with two daughters, my health and vitality is becoming increasingly more important, and I will change any variables to my diet that is suggested—I just do not know where to begin. Add vegetables? Add fruit? Ditch bacon? You tell me! Also, if you have the time and would like to answer a secondary question, I am curious why I get weird edema around my ankles after these meals that are high in carbohydrates. Here may be a helpful understanding of me and my health: I have a history of melanoma that penetrated a pocket of lymph nodes in my neck (later removed), along with a family history of PVD, CVD, and heart attacks. I am 6'0, 215 pounds. I resistance train 5-7 times per week, and do cardiorespiratory conditioning several times per week as well. Anyway, if you answer or don't, I love the content you put out and applaud your constant effort to get sick people healthy. Levi 2. Red Light Therapy [18:29] Simone says: Hi Robb & Nikki! I've been an avid listener since your Paleo Solution Podcast and I'm enjoying the change up on The Healthy Rebellion. My question regards Red Light Therapy. Can I simply replace the lamps in my bedroom with red light bulbs to wind down improve sleep as I read before I shut the lights or do I have to get a red light therapy device to reap the benefits? I learned a few years ago how vital good quality sleep is and I'm always trying to improve things here & there when I can. *Note, I do wear blue blocking glasses every night (the intense orange ones i'm embarrassed for anyone to see excepts for my fiance, cats, and dog.) Thanks! 3. Autoimmune reactions and the severe form of COVID19 [20:28] Mats says: Hello Robb, Nicki & co This is a question for the Healthy Rebellion podcast, hope it reaches you through this route. The core lethal symptoms of the severe form of COVID19 seem to stem from drastic inflammation and overboard immune reactions in the lungs, correct? Who gets these severe symptoms and why is a mystery so far, altho many known underlying medical conditions seem to correlate. ”Mysterious” inflammation and disproportionate/mis-directed immune reactions. Doesn’t that sound eerily familiar? Anecdotes also seem to report a lessening of symptoms earlier in the day - after a night-time of fasting - and aggrevated symptoms towards the evening - after a day-time of eating, and we all know what people typically eat. Do you see where I’m going with this? Do you think lectin-driven autoimmune reactions could be contributing to the severe symptoms some COVID19 patients are struggling with? Thank you for the great work you do, BR, Mats Helsinki, Finland https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/could-covid-19-cause-long-term-chronic-fatigue-and-illness-in-some-patients/2020/05/29/bcd5edb2-a02c-11ea-b5c9-570a91917d8d_story.html   4. Nutrition for Special Warfare Training [28:37] Rich says: Robb, I'll try to keep this as brief as possible with as much detail, wish me luck. I've been listening to you for 7/8 years now and I remember the Paleo Solution Podcast where you talked about working with Naval Special Warfare a few times so this is where my question stems from.  I'm in the process of joining Air Force Special Warefare and in order to get in, there is a Physical Abilities Stamina Test (PAST).  I'm 29, 5'10", 184 with roughly 16-18% body fat currently.  This is by design, I generally function better at 175 but I'd like to go into training with some extra body fat. My issue is that my strength has always been gaining strength but I'm a hard gainer when it comes to stamina so I've been running quite a bit.  I'm doing a higher fat day on endurance days and supplementing carbs in on harder training days. To make a long question short, would you do anything different that you think could assist my progress? Regardless of if I hear from you or not, I appreciate the work you and Nicki do and I'll continue to listen. 5. Quick Inflammation relief [33:15] Kyle says: Hey Robb, Thanks for all your help.  You have been helping me with diet and lifestyle for over 10 years now.  My question is what is your recommendation for the quickest way to recover when one goes off the rails. Some background.  I'm a 41 year old male and follow a low carb paleo. I also take 2000mg of fish oil a day.  While I try stay fairly strict I sometimes have too much to drink and eat a gluten laden pizza or worse.  This leaves my joints sore and inflexible for a few days which probably means a high level of inflamation.  After 3-4 days the joint pain goes away but I was wondering if there was a protocol you would recommend that would get me back on track faster.  My goal isn't to cheat more but get back to the gym quicker when I happen to. Thanks for all you do. Kyle   Transcript: Download a copy of the transcript here (PDF)

Metabolic syndrome - intergenerational effects [8:23] Tim says: Hi Robb, Thanks for all the topics you have addressed on the healthy rebellion radio, it has made navigating the current sickcare environment a lot more manageable with someone like you empowering us all with transparent information. My question is regarding the intergenerational effects of our chronic disease epidemic. What do we know about how these conditions related to hyperinsulinemia filter down to our children and our grandkids? Particularly interested in the increasing percentage of linoleic acid in our fatty tissues, is this purely nurture, or is babies tissue makeup somewhat dependent on the diet and lifestyle of the parents? Thanks Tim.   2. Non-paleo foods and colitis [17:16] Chris says: Hi Robb and Nicki, I've had colitis since my late teens (inconsistent bowel movements, blood in stool). My first couple of years dealing with flares, I decided to try a vegan diet and my colitis improved dramatically. However I began to feel horrible and switched a lower carb diet. Felt great. Now, almost a decade later, I began having flares again (starting at the beginning of 2020) and adding grains and legumes seems to improve the colitis and dramatically reduce my flares. I'm wondering if it's the fiber that is helping. As you know there is a ton of research supporting higher fiber diets and improving bowel conditions in some people. The problem is these are high carb foods and both mentally and physically (regarding body comp) I feel much better on lower carb. Would love your thoughts on this. Any suggestions is appreciated. You guys rock!   3. The urge for sweets when satiated. [23:11] Erin says: Hi Robb and Nicki - I'm stumped by this. I suspect Robb talked about it in Wired to Eat but I kinda want to hear you riff on it a bit in "real life." I'm a health coach working with clients on "metabolism stuff," and one of the cornerstones of my practice has been tagging to the feeling of satiety. By my estimation, eating to satiety is a simple secret weapon for those looking for freedom from hangriness and all the downstream effects that urgent hunger presents. I mentor my clients through this in a very "gettable" way that includes meal composition (prioritizing protein, de-emphasizing carbohydrate) and some circadian meal timing stuff (front-loaded feeding). Without fail, I hear this, even from some of my very long-term, successful clients - 'I get that, and I love it, and I *do* eat to satiety, and it feels amazing… but sometimes after I eat, even though I’m totally satiated, I want a little something sweet.' Sometimes right after eating (dessert). Sometimes a very short while after (an evening snack), when the satiety from supper should still be going strong. I want to pause to mention that I don't think there's anything wrong with having a little something after a meal if it feels nice and isn't derailing efforts (i.e. isn't "waking up the sugar dragon" as the Whole30 puts it). These tiny little treats are probably not that egregious in the grand scheme of an otherwise metabolically supportive eating paradigm, so I'm not worried about them, metabolically. But it flies in the face of my theory that satiety is the cure for snacking, cravings, and unmanageable food urges, and that's really annoying! Ha. How could a satiated person still feel a call to reach for something else to munch on? I know there is a ton of behaviour and psychology at play here too, but I'm more curious about the biochemistry and the neuroregulation of appetite stuff. What am I missing? Part of me thinks, "Well, you must not have been satiated enough!" But that answer feels too neat and tidy, and I suspect there's some nuance that I'm incapable of wrapping my head around. Can you wrap your head around it? So much gratitude for you both and this awesome educational platform. - Erin Power   4. Natural supplements for BPH [32:00] David says: I'm looking for a safe and effective supplement for BPH that is also safe when I drink beer.  Life Extension Ultra Prostate Formula   5. Metabolic Inefficiency For Eating More Food [34:38] Claes says: Claes (a swedish name.. if you try to pronounce "class" in an posh english accent you'll hit close to the mark :) Hi guys! I've got a question that I'd love to hear you answer. Robb - you've spoken earlier about some kind of metabolic efficiency that seems to occur when you've been eating keto long term. Luis seems to maintain on a very (very!) low calorie diet even though he's both muscular and active. Now. I thrive on keto but I also love food. I have no interest in trying to attain this metabolic efficiency, and I'm wondering if there might be any strategies that I could try to use in order to keep my energy demands nice and high. Would cycling between periods when I eat carbs be a way to go or do you have any other ideas? Cheers, Claes   Transcript: Download a copy of the transcript here (PDF)

Fast AM Nutrition for Kids [10:17] Stephen says: Even with all the importance put on sleep, schools still are having kids wake up at very early hours. My son is not eating breakfast because as he says, I am just not that hungry that early and I don't have time to make anything. Yes, he could get up earlier but then he is cutting into the limited sleep he is trying to maximize. Question: what quick morning nutrition can you suggest for kids 10-14? does it differ if they are highly active or not? for an "undersized" child as opposed to an average-sized child? I am open to homemade and "store-bought" options. Trying to find something he can run out the door with and even eat on the bus if he needs. Keep up the great work. Thanks Stephen 2. Difference Dietary Needs within Household [16:01] Emma says: Hi Robb, I just finished Wired to Eat and loved it! I am currently over weight and have struggled with my weight for about 20 years. I really want to try the paleo diet but struggle when trigger foods are in the house. My husband and daughter, however have very fast metabolisms. My husband is on his feet over 12 hours a day at work and cannot function without a high level of carbs at meals. How can I balance their need for carbs with my need to stay away from them without having an anxiety attack watching them eat all the things I wish i could have? Thanks! Emma Sutton 3. Hot Baths Vs Saunas (as an alternative) [22:16] Michael says: Greetings to you both! Can hot baths stimulate the system (sweating and activation of heat shock proteins) in a way that is comparable to a sauna? Because of distancing (very tired of that word), more people have baths at their homes than saunas (why I ask). PS Nicki has the best infectious giggle I have ever heard, ever. I laugh every damn time she does. -Michael McIsaac 4. Low Carb and Electrolyes While Breastfeeding [28:22] Katie says: Hi Robb! Love the podcast. Would love to ask a couple questions.. I follow low-carb and am currently breastfeeding. I am wondering if that makes it more necessary for me to take an electrolyte supplement? How does one know if they are low carb enough to need one? Also, wondering about insulin sensitivity and the best way to test this. CGM? Fasting insulin, c-peptide, A1c? Thanks so much! 5. Keto and Dopamine/Cortisol [35:09] Andy says: Good morning Robb and Nicki, I have been listening to your podcasts since March and recently joined the Healthy Rebellion.  I really enjoyed the Ziva meditation broadcast and I greatly appreciate the Covid Salty Talk, I was out for a walk and laughing my ass off at some of the comments.  Please keep up the dark humor, I greatly appreciate it. I've been a firefighter for 20 years or so, been eating paleo for the last 10 (one of my crossfit firefighters got me introduced), but have always had an issue with the weight around the middle.  We work 48 hr shifts and sleep loss is a common thing.  I do my best to take naps at work and am trying meditation to balance it out.  I have also struggled with depression and recently found a good counselor.  So, my question is, with the sleep and depression issues, does this cause a cortisol response, resulting in the weight around the waist and can a keto diet help to balance this out? Thanks for putting together the Healthy Rebellion, what a great resource!!!! Thanks, Andy Transcript: Download a copy of the transcript here (PDF)

Pregnant Wife [11:14] Kyle says: Mr and Mrs Wolf, My wife is 10 weeks pregnant and I need guidance. I am 37 and she is 36 and this seems to be a wedding night baby (WOOT WOOT). I ran out and got her Prenatal vitamins (Megafoods Baby & Me 2 and Nordic Naturals DHA).  Diet wise we have picked up Real Food for Pregnancy but everything else we are in a whirlwind of information. We are on the older side of parents and we just want to make sure our child is healthy. Do you guys have any books we should  buy that could provide more guidance? I get waves of panic but that seems to be calmed by coffee Thank you for everything you and guys do.

Carbo-NO? Carb-be-gone [21:14] Brittany says: From August to about the beginning of December I was relatively lower carb, max of 150-ish g/day. Since then, I realized that I may be doing a disservice to myself and my performance so I hired a coach (around Christmas) and she has progressed me to 240 g carbs. I don't eat a ton of food out of a package unless I'm not too hungry and need dense sources, and then I'll go for some granola. I generally only eat foods with ingredients I can technically buy off the shelf and potentially make myself. (Carbs: oats, wild mixed rice, quinoa, sweet & red potatoes, and ALL the veggies, maple syrup/honey, occasionally strawberries and blueberries, Dave's killer bread during longer bike rides- 1x/wk) Just a few weeks of eating higher carb, I feel bloated and puffy (and just BLAH) and it's not a good feeling. I try to stay off of the scale and just look at trends, but it appears my body weight is trending upwards (+5# in just a few weeks).  I haven't noticed any major changes in performance, in fact, I've had more "rough" training days than I was experiencing before. I'm a CrossFitter of quite a few years who needed a change in training styles so I've adapted more of an endurance way of life. I was higher carb with CF and once I switched from June until December, I was leaning out and starting feeling good and looking good (which has never been the case). I lost 2% BF in less than 3 months, have since lost close to 25#. I felt great. I also notice if I spread out my carbs, and eat some for breakfast-- I tend to morph into a sloth by 1...2pm. Current macros: 240g C, 71g F, 133g P (2130 cal) Training about 12-15 hrs per week. Is this an intolerance to the carbs (blood sugar, cortisol, etc) or maybe a gut issue? Hormones? Thoughts? 30 year old female, was at 139# BW at 19%BF (in August) averaging 133 bw currently Thanks for everything You and Nicki do. Your book Paleo Solutions saved me from an eating disorder and I still apply the principles I've learned... 9 years later. My mom is also benefiting from your website and podcast and helped my dad get his Type 2 diabetes a little more under control. Looking forward to a New Braunfels meet up! :)   4. Tree Nut Allergy [29:38] Sarah Jane says: Hi Robb, I was wondering what your thoughts are on tree nut allergies and the gut/Microbiome?  I keep reading here and there that there’s a possibility to if not completely reverse tree nut allergies, then to at least minimize the life-threatening response by fixing the gut. My 11-year-old son just had an anaphylactic reaction to macadamia nuts totally out of the blue a few weeks ago. He has always struggled with seasonal allergies, Lots of ear infections. Para influenza age 3 and of course antibiotics, c-section, tonsils removed and croup . I took things into my own hands about four years ago and whenever things got bad, instead of taking him to a regular doctor, I just kept him home and let him work his way out of it naturally. He’s missed a lot of school.  Diffuser with essential oil’s, x-clear everyday, prebiotic fiber etc. - sleep sitting up when congested -  the best I knew how.  He has gotten stronger every year (less sickness each year).  So there has been improvement.  Now this anaphylacric macademia nut reaction has thrown my husband and I for a loop, but at the same time it’s quite obvious that there is an issue with his gut.  I know you and your daughter have had some issues yourself. I wondered if you could give us any direction or insight as we start down this path of helping him become stronger and healthier. He is a very high functioning 11-year-old. Plays travel hockey,  smart – we like him! ️ LOL!  Just want to see him thrive and of course it’s a horrible feeling living in fear. - carrying an EpiPen around for my son is not fun.  I am close friends with several other moms whose children have severe nut  allergies and they just seem to think it’s the way their kid was born. Continue to stuff them with processed foods and gluten-free goodies. It’s whacked!   I just can’t except this. I know something just needs to be improved upon.  Or am I delusional? We are going to put him on a strict Paleo for athletes type diet and do some elimination testing as well. Obviously zero processed foods.  Any suggestions here?  Things to add?  I read butyrate is important??? Also, I would like to have some help with some sort of lab test for him. Do you recommend a certain lab? My parents use Viome and are happy with it, but my husband said that not all labs are good and that there has been some mixed results. Can you recommend a certain lab for our son? And quite frankly for me too! Thank you for all you have done for us.  You and Mark Sisson are who Introduced us to Paleo about 8 years ago.  🏻 Obviously, I haven’t been perfect in that my son needs some serious extra help. But I am determined to get him whole. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration and reading my message. Best regards, Sarah Jane Bourque Phoenix Arizona   5. Article about carbon footprints of food [35:05] Joe says: Hi Robb, I’m a huge fan and I recently ran across this article that some pro-plant based folks shared. There are a number of things here that don’t seem right. Is this something you’ve addressed previously or could help address?

Welcome to Salty Talk. This is a special edition of Healthy Rebellion Radio. Each week on Salty Talk Robb will do a deep dive into current health and performance news, mixed with an occasional Salty conversation with movers and shakers in the world of research, performance, health, and longevity. On this episode I had a great time talking with Scotty Nelson and Ed Clay, two Brasilian jiujitsu blackbelts and entrepreneurs who have done amazing work in improving access to the cutting edge of cancer and autoimmune therapies. We covered a lot of ground ranging from how Ed, a successful MMA athlete and coach transitioned his business activities into cancer and autoimmune therapies when his mother had run out of treatment options for her rheumatoid arthritis. We dug into the touchy topic of what constitutes "alternative" therapies and why that ver distinction may be problematic for finding what works. Perhaps most importantly we unpacked the reality that the future of medicine will not be found in aggregating the data of millions and taking an average. We must use targeted screening and therapies to move into a new paradigm of treatment.
