[20:52] Micah says: Hi Robb, absolutely love your podcast and have a question I was hoping you could help me with. I have been hearing a lot about vitamin K2 and how it helps move calcium out of the arteries and into the bone. My issue is I am on warfarin for life due to multiple blood clots over the past few years and I worry about the long term affects. My doctors believe the clots are due to my ulcerative colitis which is now under control thanks to the GAPS protocol and now a mostly paleo diet. They are still unwilling to take me off the blood thinners. My question is is there anything I can do to offset the effects of long-term anticoagulant use in my arteries and bones. I am a 31-year-old male and healthy with the exception of the issues I’ve mentioned above. I weight lift 4 to 5 times a week in a bodybuilding type style. Long-term warfarin therapy and biomarkers for osteoporosis and atherosclerosis-2015 Reduced bone density in patients on long-term warfarin. 2009 2. Diarrhea on Keto? [25:43] Gaju the KetoPooper says: Hi Robb, Dig your content. You were responsible for turning me on to paleo. I've been doing keto for close to a year now. However, whenever the fat content in my meal goes up and there's some fiber present from vegetables, diarrhea occurs soon after. Unless my physiology is abnormal, I expected my body to be able to process the fat by now. Reducing the veggies or the fat that I add to my meals in the form of olive oil, duck fat, avocado oil and so on, seems to keep the diarrhea in check. But the calories consumed go down substantially. As an active person looking to make significant strength gains in the gym, this bums me out. Right now, I'm trying to see if the magnesium in the electrolytes I consume (Lyteshow) might be the culprit. But any leads you can provide would be very helpful. 3. How To Make Paleo/Atheist Friends? [29:49] Karen says: Hi, I have been eating a paleo derived diet since 2011. When I read your book and lost 45lbs in 4 months and I have kept it off since. Recently I have had 2 children and I feel like it’s difficult to live this lifestyle in the OC, Ca area with children. Also my husband and I are atheists (my dad is a Scientologist). I don’t know if you’ve answered this before, but I am curious how I am supposed to meet like minded people with a similar diet in the area. We already belong to a CrossFit gym and they are predominately unhealthy eaters and religious. Maybe I should just join a different one or find a meetup group? Thanks, Karen 4. The Croissant Diet: Is There Something Here? [36:43] Tyler says: Hey Robb and Nicki, I've been a shown listener for several years now, and I always enjoy y'all's (yes I'm from Texas) perspective on a variety of health topics because it's unique and usually gets me thinking. So, Mark Sisson posted a blog post recently from a guy who did a so called "Croissant Diet" for weight loss, which really boils down to maintaining a certain ratio of saturated:unsaturated fat intake and a few other things which he claims can alter metabolism favorably in terms of weight loss. He also asserts that it is an ancestral diet, aka the French, though really a rather recent one. My question is this - is he on to something? Is there any substance or lessons that could be learned from him? Sounds like it was really satiating which probably helped drive the weight loss. And if he is on to something, how could someone apply it - and especially those of us in whom high saturated fat intake seems to equal sky-high LDL-P levels. Thanks for all y'all's work, it's much appreciated and needed. Tyler https://fireinabottle.net/introducing-the-croissant-diet/ 5. Salt Sensitivity? [47:24] Laura says: Question: I've run my DNA through a variety of tools (strategene, DNA fit, Found My Fitness, Nutritional Genome and most recently a Viome Gut Biome test).   All point to me being very salt sensitive.    Being that I'm very low carb and salt sensitive - what sort of guidance would you give to be sure I get the right level of salt in my diet? I am a LMNT subscriber and originally was putting a full packet in my water throughout the day (micro dosing) - then stopped when I noticed some tremendous swelling (ankles disappeared and I took my ring off).  Recently I've tried adding some smaller doses back in - but I'm nervous around pushing that too much with my salt sensitivity. Stats: 45 yo female 5'8" 157lbs / 18% body fat Movement: historically: kettlebells (45mins MWF); Jog (30mins TTh), hiking or the like (1hr+ SSun) currently:  Core40 (pilates based movement with more a heavy resistant / slow movement focus - 40mins MWF); walk (30mins TTh) Diet: keto / carnivore for about 3 years.   Currently doing OMAD (one meal a day) for ease and feels more intuitive for me.    Currently doing a bit of a cut cycle and adding in a Protein Sparing Modified Diet to lean out / reset after some vacay fun.  After this I will go back to more of a Keto OMAD style. Health history: Used paleo and functional medicine to overcome SIBO in the last 3 years and then transitioned to keto / carnivore recently seeing that I don't digest greens well often.  Have had great success with lower carb (feeling, clarity etc) but am starting to see what may be some overstressed symptoms (fatigue, ear ache / issues typically come up for me). I still have on my list to do a  proper carb test per Wired to Eat.... I hope that gives enough of a background for my question :) What are your thoughts? Laura

Vision problems since going low carb. [9:49] David says: I've been listening to your podcast and really enjoying it.  I went Keto/low carb about a year and a half ago.  Overall I feel much better and have lost about 40 pounds.  I'm 49 and have needed to wear reading glasses the last few years, but about six months after I switched to a low carb lifestyle my distance vision has been blurry as well.  It's tolerable, but some days are worse than others.  A few months ago my wife and I went on a cruise and although I committed myself to behaving it didn't last long.  by the end of the cruise, after cheating a little (most days I still ate steak, eggs, and vegetables) I woke up and my vision had improved significantly.  Obviously something in my diet, or rather something lacking from my diet, is causing this.  I don't want to start eating bread and chocolate desserts again, so I'm hoping you might have an idea of what I may need as a supplement or even better, a food that may be added,  Thanks in advance, and thanks for the show.   2. Why Alcohol? [13:55] Jamie says: Hi Robb, Not sure if you ever get my emails but, again, alcohol is a carcinogen so it’s not really a “perfect” wine for anyone who is attempting to avoid cancer.  Am I a zealot? Nope.  Just an observation that so many health experts are meticulous about diet except when alcohol is involved...and the alcohol industry loves it.   Have you ever considered why we embrace this substance that does so much harm?  I truly would like your insights as I really do like your work. Peace, Jay   3. Potassium [22:25] Lee says Okay, what's the deal with Potassium.  Recommended dosage is ~4700mg per day.   This is kinda hard to get from diet alone particularly a ketogenic one..   FDA limits potassium supplements to 100mg per dose, but a serving of a salt substitute containing potassium chloride has ~640 mg.   So piling on the salt substitute with  each meal is an easy way to get the recommended dosage.  However, there's a warning that exceeding 4700mg can cause Hyperkalemia (too high potassium levels in the blood) which has serious and potentially fatal side effects.   I've not been able to find much from the Googling about how what potassium intake levels actually lead to side effects ( one place mentioned > 18000mg).  The lack of good guidance seems to be telling.   Is it very dependent on overall heath, kidney function, weight? or do we just really not know?  So I guess my other questions are: 1. How did a hunter/gatherer get ~4700 mg of potassium ? 2. How careful do I need to be with my potassium chloride salt substitute (i.e. am I living on the edge with 5000 mg per day) ? Thanks, Lee   4. Muscle Cramps [28:37] Jackie says: Hi from Iowa.  I hope this finds you well. I have been keto for just over 3 months.  I have had the desired results of trimming away about 10lbs of body fat and the elimination of sugar cravings.  I am curious about what my optimal body weight is and what that looks like so i'm sticking with it and enjoying the journey.  I think I had that moment when i was fat adapted and i thought to myself- 'I am not craving things!'  I have had some carb refuels, usually because of social engagements and they usually leave me craving sugar for the next week. About a week ago I started to have leg cramps.  I am a 49 yo female, 5'10'' 173 lbs, I do resistive training for 30 minutes 3x/week-sets of 5 reps of push/pull/press/ squat and trap bar deadlift stuff.  One day/week i do 20 minutes of interval aerobic machine work out.  I walk each night for 15 minutes after dinner.  Sauna 1x/week for 15 minutes (I love this!) , I also teach 5 yoga classes/week- which means I prep for the class and certainly move through it but I don't 'do' the full class, I walk around and cue the sequence and give verbal cues for alignment.  I live in a small town and bike to work which is about a 6 minute bike ride.  On the weekends I like to go for a long walk (1 hour) with a friend. Beginning at the start of my keto journey and after reading about electrolytes I begin my morning with 1 or 2 teaspoons of Lite Salt, and lime juice in 10 oz of water.  I also use himalayan sea salt on everything-salads, brine meat with it.   I also take Mg supplementation one at breakfast, the other before bed.  I track just protein and get about 110-130 grams/day.  It has been a game changer to track something that I am trying to maximize.  Tracking carbs will make a person nuts.  i eat a lot of calories- I don't track calories but I keep up with my 16 yo son and partner on meals of fatty meats-pork, chicken or beef, loads of olive oil, ACV and himalayan salt on my daily big ass salads.   I meditate daily for about 10 minutes and do pranayama.  I am in bed by 9-9:30each night, and fall asleep in minutes. I drink about 2 cups of coffee in the morning with HWC, and 60 oz of water by 1pm, (I work out in the morning before 9) then about 40 oz in the afternoon/evening which usually includes 2 seltzers at night.  I wonder if i am dehydrated?  Or do I need to supplement Ca?  I suddenly have been getting late in the afternoon cramps, even in large muscle groups and feel super hungry, craving nuts and salty things and feeling tired again in the afternoons.  My sleep is also off, waking at 3 and difficult to fall back asleep. I have not had any lab work recently but plan to meet with my doctor to ask for a basic panal and return to D3/K2 supplementation which i usually don't take in the summer. I appreciate your time and any suggestions the two of you have for me would be greatly appreciated.  I love the podcast and the two of you.   5. Autophagy nerd out [34:16] Nates says: Hi Robb and Nicki, Love the show, and your keto masterclass was a game changer for me. I’ve switched up my morning to involve lots of dark roast coffee (regular and decaf) and sauna, per your recommendation. I’ll also do some heavy lifting in a fasted state (which I believe you might not entirely recommend). Can you nerd out a little on what is actually causing autophagy from sauna and dark roast coffee? And can one overdo it on the decaf coffee? Also, does a steam room effect/benefit us the same way a sauna would? I.e: autophagy and other cardiovascular benefits associated with sauna. Or should we stick with the dry heat of the sauna over a steam room. If you need it: I’m a 5ft 10in muscular 205lbs, 32 year old male in keto. Looking to shed some more weight off of gut and maintain muscle mass, as well as reap any benefits from sauna and coffee that I can. Thanks again.

Show Notes: News topic du jour: Obesity: More Than an Inflammatory, an Infectious Disease?   1. Can We Really Increase Our Longevity? [11:42] Christopher says: Do you think that as we deepen our understanding of the biochemistry of nutrition that we will reach a point where we can indefinitely prolong life?   2. How Salty Are You? [15:44] Jason says: Robb, I was wondering what your sodium numbers are daily, does it change when you train?  Now imagine being 230lbs, what should my sodium numbers be, on BJJ days and non-workout days? thanks, Jason   3. Cholesterol and Statins? [22:12] Tom says: Hi Robb and Nicki, Thanks to your work, along with Kresser and Sisson, I've lost about 50 lbs since discovering Paleo/Keto in 2013.  Before that I was on Lipitor, but after getting down to about 200 lbs (and all but completely solving my IBS) I decided on my own to go off of it and visit a functional doctor/nutritionist.  My numbers looked worse initially (Total Cholesterol from 204 to 290, Triglycerides 138 to 285, HDL 40 to 34) but she put me on a variety of temporary supplements and therapies, such as saunas and detox foot baths, and also recommended I replace cow dairy with goat dairy. I was encouraged 6 months later when my total cholesterol looked similar, but my Triglycerides went from 285 all the way down to 131 and my HDL ticked up to 38.  But then I became discouraged again when she had my LDL-Particle number tested and it was off the charts at over 2500.  So my question is, while I know you can't dispense medical advice on a podcast, should I at least consider going back onto a statin?  I'm 38 years old and 5'7, so I could certainly try to lose another 30 lbs or so and have my blood tested again, but I feel really good in every other way.  My sleep is good and I don't feel stressed, although I could stand to exercise more.  I'm willing to put in the work of losing more weight if it means better health, and perhaps it will anyway, but after losing so much already, I feel like I'm in a really good place in my life where I can maintain the weight I'm at and still feel like I'm living my life.  I've come this far largely thanks to you, so any advice you can give me now would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!   4. Blood Flow Restriction Training? [34:28] Sara says: How do you feel about BFR training to help with muscle gain?   5. What Affects HRV? [37:40] Susie says: Dear Robb I’m trying hard to find anything you’ve done on CrossFit/keto/women/PMS/HRV ... managing all of these things. I feel like I am constantly googling to sense check things - like does HRV drop when we PMS? Does keto impact on HRV? Perhaps you’ve done a podcast and I haven’t found it yet? Best wishes, what you do is brilliant ...

But is it really as simple as animal foods bad, plant foods good? 1. Estrogen and soy [9:04] Steven says: I'm wondering how much youve researched about the relationship between soy and estrogen and/or its estrogen mimmicking characteristics. This would be an interesting thing to explore and explain on a Q&A podcast. Thanks!   2. What Causes Insulin Resistance? [12:42] Franks says: Hello Robb and Nicki! I am currently studying kinesiology, and there is one question I cannot get my head around. What causes insulin resistance? From my research, there are two schools of thought. One is the repeated exposure of high insulin level cause the cell to down-regulate resulting insulin resistance. The other school of thought is the fat cell, and the liver cell is so full of lipids that insulin physically can not push more sugar or fat into the cell. If the first is true, why some other peptide hormones like growth hormones, does not seem to down-regulate when there is a chronic high level of exposure. People who use even abuse MK-677, a growth hormones secretagogue, they do not seem to have a growth hormone sensitivity down-regulation. The only studies I could find is growth hormones insensitivity due to genetics. Some steroid hormones even up-regulate the receptor when exposing chronically like testosterone. If the second school of thought is true, why there are people who are lean and workout but start developing insulin resistance. Many distance runners start developing insulin resistance even they are training heavily. I wish to hear your thoughts on this. thank you! I love the work you are doing! I learned so much from your talks and Q&A. https://peterattiamd.com/ethanweiss/   3. Weight Loss Resistance & Detox Kits [22:24] Amanda says: Hi Rob and Nicki! After my 3rd child (3rd c/s), I couldn't lose all of the baby weight. Even after almost 3 years, no amount of Whole30 rounds, paleo, or exercise are helping me to lose the baby pooch. A friend of mine, who is also my chiropractor, recommended I do a detox that he coaches, called True Cellular Detox ( https://drpompa.com/additional-resources/180_solutions/true-cellular-detox-a-top-5-strategy-to-create-your-best-health-ever/). He believes hormone imbalances due to toxins in my body are what are causing my weight loss resistance. I'm a little skeptical - what are your thoughts on these detox kits? Are there other ways of handling weight loss resistance without all of these supplements? I appreciate your help! Amanda A. from New Hampshire   4. Eating unhealthy occasionally [31:32] Raysha says: Hi Robb, I love listening to your podcast. It has educated me so much and you have become my number source of all things nutrition. Thank you. I eat really well most of the time, 80% paleo but with some cheese and peanut butter every day. I try to keep sugar to a minimum, but I include some fruit and gluten free crackers in my diet as well. I live away from home for most of the year and tend to go back to my hometown about 2-3 times a year. Whenever I do go home, my diet is a little relaxed. Specifically, I tend to consume more sugar and sugary beverages. This isn't everyday, but it does happen a couple of times a week. I was just wondering it this sort of thing can leave a lasting effect on my metabolism. More broadly, does eating "bad" a couple of times a month leave a lasting effect on my metabolism or health if I tend to eat relatively well most of the time? Do you have any advice to better approach my diet? Hope you can help me with this. Thanks again for all the you are doing. Come to Asia one day!   5. Not chasing ketones or BS [39:55] Josh says: Hey guys, love your info that you give out. Keep it up! I will get to it... 1...47 year old high school weight training teacher, NH lymphoma dominator 2012 , bodybuilder and cross country coach.... I work really hard on both ends of my fitness both with weights and with trying to keep up with my kids that I coach.  Typical summer day is lift hard and heavy for an hour , sauna, run for a min of 20 or on the top end 60. Have a six pack and weigh 170. 5’8” tall 2...Adopted GAPS DIET 5 years ago keto about 3 years ago and for the last year and a half I have been carnivore and more recently (10 months) nose to tail carnivore. Always been military strict about my diet! I am very aware of my electrolyte intake NA Potassium and mag cal. And have found a good balance so far. Question: have always had a hard time getting into nutritional ketosis from the start. my ketones  are at .2 and my BS is at 100 always or above ....no matter what.... Pre/post weights after runs or Middle of the night    WHAT THE HECK.  TRYING TO BE IN KETOSIS FOR CANCER REASONS BUT STILL EANT GAINS.  Eating 65% fat (beef trim and butter) 30% protein and the rest carbs (or less). Total cals about 2800 on average depending on my training cycle. Genes/diet/too much meat? Need to sup with MCT? Tired of trying to figure it out on my own Josh
