It's time for Q&A #5 with Robb and Nicki for Episode 397 of the podcast. And don't forget to submit your own questions for the podcast here: https://robbwolf.com/contact/submit-a-question-for-the-podcast/ Enjoy! Show Notes 1. [3:30] Are vegetables out to kill us? Robert says Hi Robb, I love the new format of the podcast, and really enjoy the episodes that leave the health sphere just a little. The episode about self-defense was a great listen! This question is really aimed to help you get rid of your pesky listeners - especially those that you've convinced to eat a meat and veggie diet. After the zero-carb episode with Dr. Shawn Baker, I decided to give carnivorousness shot. Some greasy used car salesman keeps telling me to try it and see how I look, feel and perform, so I figured might as well. To my surprise, I didn't develop horrendous constipation, gastrointestinal distress, or even scurvy. In fact, I felt pretty damn good. After a couple of weeks I started looking at re-introducing some higher fat foods into my diet, like avocado. In seeing who else has been down this road, I found that others stay with a carnivore diet avoid avocados, coconut, and other fatty fruits and veggies because of the high salicylate count. Holy smokes, now I've got another thing to worry about! I have no history, signs or symptoms or salicylate intolerance, so I'm wondering if salicylate intolerance is limited to only those who exhibit intolerance to salicylate, or can modern day marvels make others intolerant to salicylate as well? Yes, I'm trying to kid, but honestly I never knew how much gluten was dragging me down until I avoided it. At the end of the episode with Dr. Shawn Baker, he talks about how eating fruits is likely better than eating vegetables. Ignoring the fact that avocado is a fruit, is this the strategy you would take? I know I can introduce it and see how I feel. That strategy falls apart a little when the placebo effect is strong - getting objective measurements is pretty challenging at this point. And researching this feels like I'm hitting some dogmatic areas of the internet. What are your thoughts? Thanks much! Robert Side note: I signed up for the Keto Masterclass a while ago. I've been struggling with Keto for a couple of years - I seem to respond well to the ~70-100g carb range, getting down to 30g never worked. Well, going carnivore really helped with this! The meals I was eating lined up perfectly with the ketogains macro calculator. Not sure how many would buy into it, but this could be another tool in the keto toolkit. 2. [9:14] Storage kit in case of emergency Karen says: Hello, Some (or many??) years ago there was an article/blogpost (or maybe a podcast) on the website about which (paleo/keto) foods, drinks and other stuff you need to have in storage in case of an emergency. I can't find it anymore. Do you have this somewhere? (or maybe some idea for a podcast?? :-) ) Looking forward to hear from you. Best regards, Karen Notes: http://www.icanfixamerica.com/controversial-truth-episode-21/ http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/tag/robb-wolf 3. [11:00] Goal: Min effective dose for gaining several pounds of muscle--3-5 David says: Hi Rob, I'm 46, paleo for 8yrs, but not rigid, 165lbs, 10-12% body fat. In 2008 I was in great shape, but eating an unhealthy low carb diet and had food issues. I also hurt my shoulder and rehabbed for several months to get back to health. Also had back issues, albeit minor. I have always been good at backing off before major problems arise, except with the shoulder. I found Doug McGuff's book and a trainer who promoted that type of training as well and have been pain free ever since. I lift at a gym 2x/wk and do one-limb eccentric movements 7 reps with 10 sec negatives, then switch and resetting with help from other hand. Rest 1 min and do a regular set of 8-10 with 5 sec negatives. This is all machine for chest, legs, and a mix of the other parts of body. Wed workout is chest, back, shoulders 2 exercises each, and Fri is legs and arms-bi's and tri's. I really have grown to like the high intensity nature of the work out and have come to terms with sacrificing my former size --180 and in good shape. I'd like to be able to get bigger, without injury risk and extra time. I am guessing it takes much more sets and reps, and want to do it safely. Interested in new ideas. Thanks and I've really enjoyed following you since I found your article in '10 on Tim Ferriss's blog.

I would like your thoughts on protecting the gut after large doses of antibiotics. A quick back story to my question is that my son had a ruptured appendix at the age of 11. It took the doctors 4 days to figure out what was wrong and kept telling us he had a viral infection and to wait it out. Three surgeries, two pic lines, multiple

We're back with Q&A #4 with Robb and Nicki for Episode 395 of the podcast. Enjoy! And don't forget to submit your own questions for the podcast here: https://robbwolf.com/contact/submit-a-question-for-the-podcast/ Show Notes 1. (4:07) What do you eat? Mads says: Hey Robb (and Nicki) You have written comprehensively about what types of food to eat and what to avoid. You have also written a fantastic post and guide about "feeding kids paleo". I was wondering (as i am sure many others do as well) what do YOU eat? What are some staple meals? What are you go to breakfast, lunch and snack? Can you give an example of what you eat on a typical week? I think it would be interesting for folks to hear. Hope to hear from you either directly or even better on the podcast in Q&A! Best regards Mads from Denmark 2. (11:02) Keto counting Kristie says: Hey, Rob, I've been following your stuff for ages. I've got both of your books. I worked out with a personal trainer who turned me on to Paleo and you nearly 10 years ago. I lost 145 pounds and have mostly kept it off. Every now and then I get into the almond flour baked goods and fruit and put on a few pounds. Then I regain my sanity and desire to feel great and I make better choices and drop the weight. I've been considering Keto for a while just to see if I can drop a little more of the weight and feel even better. But here's my hesitation, and it's going to sound like an excuse, because it is. BUT I spent a whole lot of my life counting calories, counting fat grams, counting carbs....counting, counting, counting and being hungry. And I think the reason Paleo has worked so well for me is that I eat healthy, delicious food. When I am in the zone and not eating treats (which I always make myself) and I eat slowly and mindfully, I do really well. I have tons of energy and, although I could lose more weight for sure, I'm ok where I am weight-wise. I worry that Keto will put me back in that headspace of counting and worrying and making myself crazy over choices. If anybody is going to help me over that, it's you, though! So maybe I should just take the plunge into your Masterclass? Thanks, 3. (17:18) What is considered health on the low end of the glucose spectrum when in ketosis? Rob says: (Side note: Robb hinted at this a bit for a question on Episode 389.) Of course there is variability and nuance, but what is considered to be the low end of a glucose level during ketosis; i.e., at what level do you start calling it a level of hypoglycemia to be possibly concerned about? BACKGROUND: I just completed Dr. Mark Hyman's 10 Day Detox. I lost 11 lbs. (after was 176 lbs., still about 6 lbs. or so over my ideal), lost 1.75/1.5/1" off waist/hips/thigh, blood pressure down 22/20 (and pulse 8 lower) to close to normal. I wasn't aiming for ketosis by doing this diet, but I believe I got into ketosis periodically. My question is if a fasted glucose level of 57 mg/dL (ketones: 2.4 at the same time) is not uncommon, or if that seems really low. I think I had heard of some people's glucose going *up* when in ketosis. I felt great through the entire diet, and have not had blood sugar problems (my fasted levels have been just fine, when testing before and after the diet). I'm *not* asking for any kind of medical advise, just if that level of 57 seems a bit low *in general*, given a ketone level of 2.4 at the same time. December 2017 at my annual checkup: Fasted glucose: 86 mg/dL Late March 2018 Self testing using a new Precision Xtra NFR blood glucose and ketone monitoring system (one recommended by Robb Wolf, I'm pretty sure). Morning of day 1 of Mark Hyman's 10 Day Detox diet: Fasted glucose: 71 mg/dL Ketones: 0.9 Morning of day after (last) day 10 of Mark Hyman's 10 Day Detox diet, about 14 hours after last eating/drinking: Fasted glucose: 57 mg/dL (day prior: 60) Ketones: 2.4 (day prior: 2.1) Two hours after a lunch with gluten and dairy: Glucose: 92 mg/dL Ketones: 0.7 Note that all the lab reports (I have them from my adult life; I'm 60 years old) have had normal/ healthy glucose levels. The last time my Hemoglobin A1C was measured, was about 15 months ago: 5.3% 4. (21:41) electrolytes Zsuzsi says: Hello, Thank you for your explanation about the importance of electrolytes. The 3 out of 9 rules really cemented the concept for me and I'm sipping away for the first time in my life. I would be interested to know how this ties in with the ancestral health concept? It's not like anyone was weighing in magnesium salts or scooping up potash into their tea. Were they? Thanks very much for your response in advance. Zsuzsi 5. (24:51) BODYBUILDING FOR TEENS Elizabeth says: Hello Robb, Your name was recently added to the "Take Back Your Health" seminar that takes place in Pasadena, CA in May, I will be there so this is how I came to know about you. I'm hoping that due to your experience with power lifting you may help with my questions. My seventeen year old son started bodybuilding about 10 months ag

Loved the first q&a back! I wanted to ask an expansion on the FTO gene Polymorphism question. I my self also ran my 23andme data through FoundMYFitness as a Rhonda Patrick follower and I have the similar FTO well several FTO genes came up but also the PPAR alpha gene came up that I know is a big part of ketosis. My question is can I attempt and Keto diet and Ketosis with using mainly PUFA and MUFA and still achieve ketosis with this polymorphism or am I better off to not focus on achieving ketosis?Thank you for all that you put in the world I just received you Wired to Eat book and started reading it!

I imagine there being less inflammation versus the glucose, and thus better recovery. Though the effect might be minimal in a non-keto-adapted person. Then I am skipping over the entire blue light issue from all the fluorescents at a hospital. I recently watched your talk at Paleo FX, "Ketogenic Diets for Traumatic Brain Injury Keeping the Baby with the Bathwater". In brief you mention ketone ringers in an acute setting, traumatic brain injury and research in Japan. Why not use ketone bodies at intensive care, or even other settings? Have you seen research on this? Here's how I thought about it: my dad was at the ICU after cardiac arrest, and I saw the glucose syringes. Then I thought about inflammation and ketones. And I remembered reading that heart muscle likes ketones. Maybe we can save more people with ketone IVs...Please share your thoughts. I'm also interested in the Japanese research on ketone ringers, if you can link that.Thank you very much.Be well, Stijn De Puydt NOTES: Ketone ringer solution- https://iubmb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/152165401753311780 MCT Keto diet: https://iubmb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/152165401753311780 High glucose load negated benefits!!

Do miss the ever large and in charge Greg Everett's humor though, "how does gravel burn," classic. Anyways, what are your thoughts on a Bone Broth Bullshot in lieu of your Norcal Marg? Potential pro/cons? On a second note, what if you were to add some glycine to that Norcal M? Give just a little sweetness and I would think there are some potentially extra benefits to that addition.. After listening to Chris Masterjohn's panel discussion on glycine, that crossed my mind. Curious on your take. Thanks for everything you are doing (Paleo, health, keto, sustainability, controversial truths, etc.). While you are winding the clock back a little, you should get the Kraken on and let him destroy some questions.

Hey Folks! We're back with another Q&A episode (yes, we're going to be doing these regularly)! If you have a question for a future episode, submit them here https://robbwolf.com/contact/submit-a-question-for-the-podcast/ 1. (3:00) Low Carb and Low Testosterone Steve says: Hey Robb and Nicki! Any ideas as to why when I switched to low carb, my SHBG shot up, and, of course, my Free Testosterone went down...not good! I heard a podcast between Asprey and D'Agostino a while back and Dave mentioned that he was seeing that in a small percentage of clients, but did not know why? Hence...any thoughts you can provide would be helpful. Stay the course...!!! Steve 2. (5:30) Can visceral fat go away without procedures? Annie says: Hey Robb- Thanks for looking over my question. I am a 51 yr old woman- 27 years with Hashi's and I was just diagnosed with Reactive Hypoglycemia. (Additional Back story- I've recently come through a 3 yr ordeal with adrenal fatigue and whacked out thyroid) In a recent Dexa scan, it showed that I have a layer of visceral fat (and a much higher general body fat % than I expected) which prompted my Endo/Functional Med doc to advise me to start taking Metformin (I cried- I feel like I lost ) . The scan results explain why I can feel the solidity of my ab muscles , but still have a section in my lower belly that is distended from under my ab muscles and not the same quasi-flatness of my upper abs. Even though I eat Low Carb/ Keto and do HIIT/Crossfit/Lifting 3-4 hours a week , I cannot seem to get the fat from this area to reduce or disappear. Will these combined strategies( low carb, exercise and metformin) shrink fat cells or make the fat go away? Or am I doomed to this to be my new, undesirable situation? It's not simply about vanity, its actually more about how I feel in a body that is not the one I've known and had to work with throughout the majority of my life. I've always been a mesomorph/athlete and usually around 20-22% body fat naturally (now I'm measured at 32%). My question is it possible for that visceral belly fat to go away or get smaller through my current course of action? Or is that only possible through outside tools and resources like cool sculpting? I realize that sounds pretty vain, but again, it's a big change for my body and I am not loving it at all. Thanks Robb- Annie 3. (14:01) Keto diet and raised triglycerides Conor says: Hi Robb, Huge fan of everything you do! I know you are super busy, but when you get a chance could you expand on keto and triglycerides? I am a 24-year-old male, 5'10 180 and about 15% body fat, very committed to weightlifting, yoga, nutrition, and fitness in general. I just got back a blood test and I had a raised triglycerides levels, about 220. I was wondering if I can do anything to lower this or if this is even bad. Anything will help, and I will be looking forward to your response. Excited about your upcoming content and everything you do! Kind Regards, Conor 4. (17:51) Fasting Nate says : How do you know when adding in fasting is appropriate? For those who have most things dialed in (sleep, appropriate exercise, etc.). Also, is doing a calorie deficit similar to the 5:2 diet (as opposed to a normal daily deficit) advisable? Paper link: Caloric restriction does not enhance longevity in all species and is unlikely to do so in humans 5. (23:11) Women and Keto Holly says: Hi Robb, I hear a lot of people talk about IF may be stressful for a woman's hormones, potentially causing mood deregulation and/or hair loss. I occasionally eat more carbs to address this, although I'm not sure if I have to if I'm feeling fine. Is there any benefit to scheduled/regular increase in carbs for women, and how much are we talking about? What are the circumstances of IF being contraindicated? There's lots of flys in here Tony reference: If you are ever depressed, this will fix it: https://youtu.be/WDQQfBrSUs0?t=2m13s (NSFW language warning) 6. (27:53) Fasting (answered with next question together in one) Madison says: Hello! What is allowed during a period of fasting? Clear broth, coffee, lemon water, and tea, just water, or some combination? Thank you! 7. (27:53) Intermittent fasting and coffee with coconut oil/milk (answered along with previous question) Caroline says: I'm trying to find a definitive answer as to whether having a coffee in the morning with 1 tbsp coconut oil and 2-3 tbsp coconut milk is a good thing or a bad thing whilst doing IF and trying to lose weight (16:8 or 24 hours). I usually have one around 7am and another one around 10am. I skip breakfast and eat around 1.30pm. Does it take me out of fasting mode and, if so, how quickly will I go back into fasting mode assuming I don't eat anything? Blood ketone tests show that my ketones increase by quite a lot after drinking coffee this way but is it having a negative impact on weight loss because my body is burning the fat in the coconut oil/milk rather than in my body? There are many conflicting report

Hey Folks! You asked for it, and we delivered. We're back with a Q&A episode! If you have a question for a future episode, submit them here https://robbwolf.com/contact/submit-a-question-for-the-podcast/ Show notes: 1. (4:41) Ketosis and Carbohydrate timing Ryan says: Hi Robb. I don't know if this will reach you, but while listening to your podcast and reading your first book, a hundred questions pop into my head. This is one of them. I thought about asking my doctor, but I knew a blank stare and a sweaty forehead would be his answer. So here goes: Does frequency of carb intake play a role in disrupting ketosis? For example, if I am going to eat 150 grams in total of carbohydrates today, will eating all 150 grams of carbs at the same meal knock me out of ketosis for an EQUAL amount of time as eating 15 grams every hour for 10 hours?* My theory is eating 15 grams of carbs an hour for 10 hours will be just enough to keep a person out of ketosis for a longer period of time than eating all 150 grams in one meal while carb-fasting for the rest of the day. I could be wrong, but that's why I'm asking the master. Thank you in advance for any time you can dedicate to the this question. Have a great day. *Lets assume we are talking about starchy carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, etc.), not leafy green vegetables or other low glycemic vegetables. ------------ Links: Meal frequency and timing in health and disease-PNAS https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4250148/ 2. (9:34) Genetics and Keto Charles says: Robb mentioned in the Paleo(f)x keto interview that he had some genetics (SNPs) that perhaps made Keto not a great diet for him, yet he gets around it somewhat with some supplementation including with Carnitine. I dabble in Keto and have made lots of progress with my health as a result. I plan to sign up for the Master Class too. I have done genetic testing already with 23 and me. I wonder if Robb could tell me the SNPs to look for to see what kind of genetic fit Keto is for me. I have a feeling I will find out in the Master Class, but would love to hear what Robb has to say or perhaps there is a link to an article or podcast that would do the trick. ------------ Found my fitness genetic interpretation: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/genetics FTO gene is called fat mass and obesity-associated protein because it is the gene that is the major genetic risk factor for obesity. This particular genotype, rs17817449(G;T), is associated with a 1.3-fold increased obesity risk. Saturated fat may have a negative effect on blood glucose and insulin levels and increases type 2 diabetes risk in individuals with this genotype. All sat'd fats the same?? NO. No one asks why this is: Sat'd fats increase endotoxemia to some degree: Dietary oil composition differentially modulates intestinal endotoxin transport and postprandial endotoxemia-Nutrition and metabolism https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-7075-10-6 Sat'd fats also tend to increase Lipoproteins and cholesterol, at least in some people. Is that bad? Maybe, maybe not, #context: https://www.google.com/search?q=LPS+clearance+lipoproteins&oq=LPS+clearance+lipoproteins&aqs=chrome..69i57.6086j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Multiple mechanisms: 1-LPS binding protein 2-Multiple hepatic cells and receptors, including LDL-receptor 3-Small, dense lipoproteins work better for this!! In total, this FTO mutation is overall beneficial in dealing with endotoxemia dn infection. Consistent with other SNP's I have (celiac potential, mild iron accretion). Shows direct influence of adaptations to agriculture. DAIRY really increases this for me. 3. (16:51) Familial history of cancer and the Ketogenic diet for prevention Clint says: Hey Robb- When I look back into my family history, a boatload of people have had various forms of cancer. We've run the gamut of colon cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, etc... I've listened to quite a few podcasts with Dominic D'Agostino in regards to the ketogenic diet as a tool in the toolbox for combating cancer and lessening the effects of Chemo. I've also heard on various podcasts the use of periodic multi-day fasts to help expunge faulty cells from the body in hopes for cancer prevention. I've been looking into these methods of cancer prevention and wanted your two cents on the matter. I'm 32 years old, 6'2", 180lbs. I'm an endurance athlete/run coach and compete in races from 5k-100 miles. If, in your opinion, these are good tools in regards to helping keep cancer at bay, at what age should I start implementing them? How would I go about balancing a ketogenic diet and being an endurance athlete w/out completely frying my adrenals? I'm not necessarily against reassessing my performance goals to include goals of health and longevity. It's not like I'm being paid to be an upper-midpack runner. Thanks for all that you do! Really looking forward to the new book Clint aka "Run Coach Clint" ----------------------- Likely sweet sp
