Pooping Rocks and Acid Reflux [12:46] Brian says: As of the last 8-10 weeks I have experienced constipation. Pooping daily but basically a bunch of rocks. I’ve also been getting acid reflux more often. BOTH of which seem random and cannot figure out what it is dietwise, as my diet is relatively consistent. Curious what may cause this and perhaps recommended remedies? Much appreciated 2. HCL Supplementation [17:04] Alex says: I've been treating some gut dysbiosis, which among other things includes HCL supplementation, and I feel like the dosage recommendation protocols on HCL are really missing a big piece of the picture. I eat nearly carnivore and prefer 2 large meals a day. I've increased my HCL dosage up to 10 capsules (650mg each) to beneficial effect and still don't experience any discomfort. Based on almost every protocol out there I'm way past the upper end of the dosage. It seems rational to me that the combination of 60-80g+ protein meals and gut dysbiosis would necessarily call for such large dosages, thoughts? 3. Why hasn’t the paleo/ancestral health community embraced baobab fruit as a staple food? [19:44] David says: Hey Robb, I recently found out about baobab fruit, and decided to try it. It’s apparently native to Africa, and a favorite staple food of the Hadza. anyway, it tastes good, and seems to have helped a lot in fixing most (maybe all?) of my gut issues. I’ve known about the paleo diet for 10ish years now, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard about this fruit for whatever reason. This seems like an easy win food-wise, given the amount of fiber/prebiotics it contains, it’s one of the most nutrient dense fruits one could eat, and I didn’t have too much trouble buying it on the Internet at a reasonable price. And, given how long Baobab plants/trees live, this is about as “paleo” as it gets today. What gives? Why hasn’t the paleo/ancestral health community embraced baobab fruit? Is there some potential downside to eating this all the time that I have yet to discover? Will I die from some weird African parasite hiding in the pulp or something?

My question… liver seems to be one of the best foods for us. Nutritional density, vitamins, minerals, etc. A ‘superfood’? Anyhoo, I’ve been wondering why, if the above is true, liver tastes so fucking awful to so many people?? An amateur thinker like myself would think if it’s so great for us, we would have a propensity to desire the taste. But I’m looking to an expert thinker to show me what I’m missing. Thanks again.

LASIK [17:19] Mark says: Hi Robb and Nikki, On last week's episode Robb mentioned getting LASIK. I don't think I've heard this mentioned on the podcast before. I'm short-sighted (-4.00), and have long been considering LASIK. But, something about it just makes me feel squeamish. Robb, how much research into the procedure did you have to do before getting comfortable with it? Are there any major thoughts/findings from your research worth sharing? And, you being someone who's active and does BJJ, did you consider LASEK (ek) over LASIK (ik), which I've read is often preferred by military personnel/police/boxers/the like (anything high impact). From an article in The Times (UK): "Unlike the most common form of laser eye surgery, Lasik, the operation used on military personnel, Lasek, does not involve slicing a flap in the cornea because there is a slim chance that a hard blow could dislodge the flap. Boxers, police officers and those with a very active lifestyle are also advised to opt for Lasek." How was your recovery – being able to get back into physical activity? Any and all thoughts that might help me overcome my squeamishness would be much appreciated! Mark 2. Returning to fitness after cancer [29:48] Greg says: Hey Robb and Nikki, I have a friend who has just finished an extensive round of chemo treatments. He wants to know what would be the best way to pursue getting back in shape and getting his health in order post-chemo. Are there any specific things he should focus on in terms of diet and exercise? Thanks for everything you do. 3. Essential Tremors [32:25] Sandy says: I have heard you mention several times on Podcasts that you are finding some relief from your essential tremors with lions mane. I would love to do my own experiment to see if this would help me. What form of lions mane would you suggest? What dosage would you shoot for? How long did it take until you saw some relief? All of the drugs I have tried for my tremors gave me side effects that were worse than the tremors themselves. So I had given up. This is the first time in a long time I have felt hopeful.

Kratom [16:30] Anthony says: Hello Rob, I've heard a few of the guys at jiu jitsu talking about Kratom. The reviews online are all over the place, what are your thoughts on Kratom? Thank you 2. "Clean Meat" [25:30] Emily says: Hi! I'm actually brand new to listening to your podcast. A friend who runs a regenerative farm in Virginia (Franchesca's Dawn Farm) wrote about your podcast in a recent newsletter and I had to check it out. I recently read a book called "Clean Meat" about lab created meat (from stem cells) and how this industry (as of the 2016 publishing) is getting ready to boom. I've recently also seen notice of China perfecting a lab meatball that will hit the market shelves by the end of 2022, and FDA approval in 2023 for the US market. While I won't claim to know much, my concern lies with the individuals investing in this research and products that are also buying farm land. Some of these same individuals are also involved in vaccination research and implementation. Their agenda and intentions are concerning at the least. That aside, where can we go to find research on how this lab grown meat actually impacts the body? There's obviously no blood flow in the bath that this is grown in, and my guess is that many of the nutrients are synthetic. The questions that keep rolling around are the impacts on our own cellular growth and reproduction, as well as how our bodies metabolize this stuff. Secondly, the researchers have admitted that they are able to create structures that don't even exist naturally, of course. Any rate, I can't be the only person thinking about this. Would love direction and ideas to learn more. With Gratitude, Emily 3. Vaccine Trust and Supplements [37:52] Hans says: Just finished a recent Cleared Hot podcast in which you were a guest and two questions come to mind 1.) With a lot of concerns and speculation around the Covid vaccine, do you think the publics general "trust" of the vaccine had been more well received had it been offered for free or at cost to governments? Adding the disclaimer that yes, Covid 'could' be bad, but as serious as the problem has been made out to be, we are offering the vaccine not to make money, but to ensure the health and safety of the population. 2.) As an athlete I've experimented with almost every supplement on the market. And after years of experimenting—protein, creatine and salts (LMNT) have become really the only 3 supplements I use regularly. Fish oils, vitamins, brain boosters, etc—I don't really feel it notice a difference. Outside of any real lacking deficiencies, are supplements as a whole really 'that' necessary? Or just really good marketing? Hope these questions find you well.   Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

In this salty talk Robb and Diana unpack George Monbiot's recent Guardian piece in which he claims that the literally WORST food that humans can produce is….wait for it….pastured, organic meat. Yes, worse than monocropping, worse than round up and synthetic fertilizer, pastured meat is, in Monbiot's eyes, the worst. We also looked at a recent Mathew Crawford piece that considers director and Hollywood bigwig, James Cameron's efforts to run organic farms in New Zealand. Cameron has invested tens of millions of dollars into various meat alternative projects and is unabashedly anti-meat. Well, Cameron's farms were failing until he did this one weird trick….tune into the episode to discover the ironic punchline to that story!

Gut microbiome & antibiotics [36:36] Alex says Hi Robb! I’ve heard you talk about the importance of a healthy gut microbiome and the impact it has on other areas of the body (mental health, etc). I wanted to get your opinion on potential solutions for promoting a healthy gut microbiome in less than ideal circumstances. I have ulcerative colitis and I’ve had my colon removed as well as some of my small intestine, I have been on antibiotics and steroids daily for about 1.5 years to deal with ongoing inflammation issues. I assume that the antibiotics wipe out any good gut bacteria I have on a daily basis, and I struggle to get any answers from my medical team on what I can do to maintain any sort of good gut bacteria. I’ve tried probiotics, but assume they’re counteracted by the antibiotics. Any suggestions or resources you think may help? Thanks for all you do! Alex Prescribing an antibiotic? Pair it with probiotics Saccharomyces boulardii to Prevent Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea: A Randomized, Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled Trial 2. Queasy running [48:12] Eric says: Hi Robb - my wife and I are huge fans and she suggested I write to see if you had any thoughts on this. I’ve been an athlete my entire life and always a runner. Lately I’ve experienced nausea about a mile into my runs. I’m not running hard, in fact it’s really just as I’m getting warmed up. I’m breathing harder, but not like race-hard - if that makes sense. We are huge LMNT fans and I consistently consume at least 6000mg of sodium daily. Particularly in the summer heat. I don’t experience this any other time other than when I start to run. If I stop for a few min, the feeling generally passes and I can go on with my run. I’ve looked at what I’m eating prior to my runs and (1) nothing has really changed, even though this feeling is relatively recent and (2) I don’t see anything that I think would make me nauseous. I’m a pretty consistent and clean eater. Could this be an electrolyte issue?? For reference: I’m 5’9” 165lbs, lean/muscular. We eat low carb (my wife follows Dr Bernstein) so I eat similarly but include dairy & berries Would greatly appreciate any thoughts you might have on what could be causing this.

They saw 300% increase in cancer patients over the past year. From around 36,000 new cancer patients to over 120,000 in America   Podcast Questions:   1. Ground meat causing relationship ending gas [21:00] Ryan C. says: Hey Guys, So this is my first question I’ve ever submitted (going to be doozy) over the years I’ve listened to this podcast (back through Andy and Greg). I first wanted to say, this podcast and Robb are hugely responsible for me quitting my 9-5 and pursuing my dream career in health and fitness. So thank you endlessly. Now the question regarding my “relationship ending gas”. It hasn’t quite ended the relationship yet, but I’m on thin ice if I don’t fix it or, maybe even worse, have to stop eating ground meat. Over the past year when I eat ground meat, I’ve tried beef, bison, turkey, etc. I become extremely gassy, next level, biochemical warfare, shut down a small mall type of next level. It also sometimes happens with just a fatty cut of beef. Now I assumed it was the super fatty stuff, so I cut back, but they still to be on par with each other. Which is basically the tiger woods of farts and sometimes Diarrhea. (This may be your worst question.) Anyway, when I search the internet for “why?”, the good ol’ google machine says shit like “stop eating meat you murderer, you’ll get ass cancer” or articles on how eating meat is the next AIDS, will destroy the earth, is transphobic, etc. It’s crazy and there is no real info I can find. So that is why I’m punishing you guys with this question, I really tried not to. I promise. What do you think this is? A meat allergy, bacterial thing… ass cancer? Help! Help my relationship…   2. Kidney Stones [28:09] Jared says: I'm 42 and relatively healthy, 6'1", 165lbs. I recently had a kidney stone where intense pain started, I went to the ER, and passed the stone all on the same day. My mom has had kidney stones before, but not as young as me. I was drinking 1 LMNT daily but not really doing any physical activity. I just like my water to taste like something. I did find some studies that too much sodium can be associated with kidney stones in some people, but that sounds like a very confounded observation to me. Do you think there is any association? Drinking too much LMNT in absence of physical activity has been associated with sporadic stomach aches for me in the past, so I had recently cut back over the past few months preceding this incident. Also, the doctor said that it could be from not drinking water frequently enough, which I am probably guilty of. The LMNT seems to help reduce the volume of water I drink because it quenches my thirst more than plain water, so maybe it is indirectly related? Anyway, would be happy to hear any thoughts you have.

Sugar & Fruit [11:17] Justin says: Hello Rob and Nicki, I read Wired to Eat and Sacred Cow and listen to your podcast every week. Your books and podcast have been such a blessing to my health journey. Thank you. I have a question regarding fruit and sugar. I eat clean (no processed carbs / sugar / avoid seed oils) and mainly follow the Paleo path with the exception  of pastured butter / cheese. I also practice daily intermittent fasting with a six hour eating window. I have cut out all added sugar (sweets, soda, etc) but typically have a bowl of organic blueberries, mixed fruit (pineapple, strawberries, etc) with chia seed pudding made with coconut milk after my lunch and dinner. Does the natural sugar in these fruits have a negative effect with regards to inflation and heart disease? Thanks so much for all you do. Justin 2. Jiu Jitsu and Nutrition [19:16] Strawberry (Yes my name is Strawberry) says: Overly exhausted the day after Jiu Jitsu grappling. I know you are a purple belt (which kudos!!) so I'm sure you have some real experience and great suggestions. I believe being this tired, I am not doing something right. In a nut shell I avoid bread and flour (unless my daughter makes cookies) I have a spoon of honey with my matcha or smoothie I avoid big meals first thing in the morning, I break my fast about 10-1030am, I'll have a handful of nuts, a smoothie with collagen (add fruit seldom). I have 2 cups of coffee a day My meals consist of veggies, proteins, and fat.  If there is a carb, its more at dinner time. I get out side as much as possible (an hour or more a day) (With diet, I'm no saint, so I know it's not perfect like above, but that is about 80% of the time) I read before bed (books not screens!) The days I know I'm going to go train, I do eat breakfast and try to fit in some extra food. Training is at night, we're done rolling by 8pm. I'M FREAKING TIRED!   My goal is to be energized and go to class 3 times a week. When I'm tired, I am grumpy, and my husband or kids don't deserve that !! They like an energized happy mama ^_^ Any suggestions? (-Follow up email after asking her some basic questions-) Welp… I don’t count calories or carbs. (Maybe that’s my problem) I’ll have complex carbs at night and especially after training (potato’s, pasta, homemade bread). I’ll add 1/2 banana or a handful of frozen strawberries to a smoothie during the day. I’ll sneak in extra carbs sometimes but not often.    Lunch, will typically be salad/veggie with protein and high fat. (Nuts, with olive oil on salad, etc) I got a free sample of LMNT from Roll Model camp and I’m going to purchase more cause it does help. Last night I had a pack right after class and I feel good today! I worship my sleep. My family picks on me because I think 930pm is late. But on nights I’m training I may not get to sleep til midnight from cooling off! Sadly my gym doesn’t have morning classes. The high intensity seems like my body needs to chill out for quite sometime. We got our sauna running (last 2 weeks) and after training I go in there and it helps but not always. I avoid screens cause it does fuck up my sleep but my husband,( his love language is watching shows together) so I’ll watch a show with him from time to time after class or weekends. With the summer, the kids home and husband, I’m trying to not always be a “stick in a mud” if you know what I mean?

Chronic Wasting Disease in Deer and Elk [15:52] Kristi says: Hi Robb and Nicki, I have a new fear just when I am already worried about the future of meat, transportation, the economy, etc. I bought some elk liver from a ranch that sells grass-fed bison, elk, and beef. I went to fry it, and it did not smell the same as bison or beef liver. And while I'm sure that's just how elk liver smells, I started worrying about chronic wasting disease(CWD), which Joe Rogan brought up on the March 2020 episode with the infectious disease epidemiologist, Michael Osterholm. (The episode that in my mind started off the covid pandemic.) I ended up throwing away the elk meat, and then looked into chronic wasting disease more. So far, no known cases have spread to humans as vCJD (variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease), but that was also true of mad cow disease, and I'm sure chronic wasting disease showing up in humans will take longer since way fewer people eat elk or deer. I am in one of the areas of North America where chronic wasting disease is present, and since I bought the meat from a farm, the elk is apparently tested (they send away the heads to get tested), however it says this doesn't guarantee they're free of CWD. Now I think I should just stick to beef/bison, since the downside of Jakob Creutzfeldt disease is so terrible, but I was also thinking if I do this I shouldn't even buy bison or beef from the same farm, since prions are notoriously hard to destroy, and would stick around on the butchering equipment. Do you have any knowledge or insight on this topic? Am I overreacting? Thanks and keep up the great work with the show. 2. Digestion Woes [23:40] Kelly says: Hi Robb and Nicki, hoping you can help me with everyone’s favorite topic, poo! I’ll cut to the chase. My BMs are a 6-7 on the Bristol stool chart, every day. Usually 3 times per day, and all before 9 am. This has been going on for a few months now. I don’t have any stomach pain or bloating, just really liquid poo. My diet is good, I eat mostly red meat, eggs, fruit, white rice, and I don’t exclude dairy or gluten because I’ve never had any sensitivity to it, but maybe that’s a good place to start? I do drink alcohol a couple times per week, but haven’t noticed a difference when I remove alcohol. I am also a coffee drinker, but I hope that’s not the culprit! Just looking for your thoughts on the best place to start, anything I should ask my doctor to run test-wise? I had an IgG test done a couple years ago and that didn’t show anything to avoid except things like chia seeds and some random things like that. Thank you both for all you do, me and my hubs listen every week and appreciate your common sense approach to health and recent policy topics. Robb and Nicki for President! 3. Organic? [29:08] Mark says: Hi Robb & Nicki, I've read Wired & Eat & Sacred Cow & drink LMNT (love, chocolate salt in goat milk is a favorite). I've been reading some of the comments from the FarmBabe basically that she now goes out-of-the-way "not" to buy/eat food labeled Organic (she seems not to like StoneyField or at least would like them to stop spreading misinformation) .  I've also read some of her battles with "Bobby" aka FlavCity.  It's hard to sort out if what she's saying is true or if as a non-organic farmer she's biased in any way.  Any insight would be helpful, especially considering current food prices.  I seem to always want to buy Organic, am I wasting my money?
