My Beef with Epicurious
Eating less Meat won't save the Planet. Here's Why
1. Low Acid & Overgrowth [18:07]
Chase says:
Hello Robb & Nikki! My sister has been experiencing severe digestive distress for about 18 months.
She had existing digestive issues from overuse of fake protein bar type foods and then when quit taking birth control her symptoms rapidly got worse.
Eating 1oz of avocado would bloat her stomach by 6+ inches. Reflux is a very common thing as well.
I finally talked her into trying a low fodmap diet, fasting, etc and we finally ended up having her see a specialist.
They gave her an antibiotic and said see ya in 6 months. Her physician hasn’t responded to questions so I figured I would reach out.
My question is, should we follow up immediately with a probiotic (if so recommendations?) and as far as her stomach acid recovering, is there a natural gradual process after balancing the micro biome or is this something that requires supplementation or both?
Thank you so much for any insight! Once again our medical system f**king sucks (:
P.S. Your podcast equips me to help hundreds through my health club. Thank you so much for what you do.
 
2. Workout HR conundrum [21:48]
Karen says:
Hi Robb and Nicki,
I just love you guys!!
I love the homeschooling bits. I homeschooled my 2 children
( now aged 23 and 26) and I feel it was the best parenting decision I made.
I’ve been a loyal listener for 10 years now. Time flies.
I am a 58 year old female. 5’5” 150 pounds.
I have been eating a Paleo/whole food diet for 10 years. My Functional Medicine doctor informed me that my blood work is great across the board. I sleep great. 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 hours every night. My Oura ring gives me great readiness scores every morning. My question has to do with my type of exercise in relation to my heart rate(HR). I have a resting HR of 45bpm. I have been jogging since I was 16 years old. I usually jog every other day for 3 miles( a 12 minute mile pace).
I then do 30 minutes of dumbbells and basic body weight workouts on the opposite days. I rarely take a day off from exercise. I have no injuries, so I feel as though I’m not over training. I keep busy throughout my day. I alway get at least 10,000 steps in every day. I hike outside all year long as well. Ohio can get pretty cold in the winter, but my dog and I tough it out.
Problem: I can not get rid of the nagging 15 pounds and belly fat I carry around.
When I’m jogging my HR hovers around 150bpm. When I do other workouts (dumbbells and hiking) my HR is around 115bpm.
Do you have any suggestions for me to get the extra poundage off?
I consume approximately 1800 calories per day. All Whole Foods. I drink lots of water. Approximately 80 ounces a day.
I will have an LMNT once in a while. I love them, I just forget to drink one more often.
I take Natural Calm before bed as well as Doc Parsley’s Sleep Remedy(one capsule) each night.
My cortisol levels are spot on through the day according to the saliva test.
Thank you so very much for your time on this matter.
Please keep up the wonderful work.
Karen
 
3. Food combining? [29:55]
Kim says:
Hi Robb, hi Nicki,
Thanks for all you do. I do best on a very low carb diet but if I were to occasionally have a serving of sweet potato, what is your take on consuming that sweet potato along with protein in the same meal? Should we consume and digest carbs separately from protein or can our bodies handle efficiently processing both at the same time?
Thanks!
Kim
 
4. Nickel Allergy and Weight [34:31]
Thalin says:
Hey Robb&Nicki, I hope you’re doing great!
I need your help figuring out what’s going on with my body. I have always been overweight but until my first pregnancy I felt I was in a good place
