Finally Matt Lalonde joins us for what will probably be the first of many visits. Enjoy!!! Show Topics: Re-address Blog Comment from Jon from Podcast 57 Insulin Resistance / Cod Liver Oil / PWO Carbohydrate Hashimoto's Disease Best Diet to Gain Mass Matt's Daily Food Intake Detailed Questions: 1. Re-address Blog Comment from Jon from Podcast 57: I think a discussion on what the re-introduction of foods and the subsequent reactions to them means and why would be very interesting as a podcast topic. The paleo concept has expanded a lot from the original ‘cavemen did this so you should to’ logic of guys like cordain (another thing mentioned recently on the show, how robb has become more science orientated because of matt lalonde), but I still think at times robb reverts back to the ‘re- introduce it and see how you feel’ logical fallacy too often, because I bet almost any food completely eliminated for 30 days and then re-introduced would have negative effects and may take a few months to re-sensitive yourself to, so a talk on why this matters (scientifically preferable rather than anecdotally) would be important. It needs to be more than just ‘gluten makes my joints achy’. I’m very surprised that some of your clients eat gluten, robb seems to think 100% of people should avoid it 100% of the time. Another thing is the constant reference to autoimmunity. I get that anecdotally people with these problems see benefits from paleo, but what relevance is this to people without autoimmune conditions? If dairy aggravates autoimmune stuff, what does this mean? Sometimes it seems like robb is implying that because people with (chrohns, rheumatoid arthritis, coeliac, hashimoto etc) get messed up eating a certain food that the food is bad for everyone, but they are a special population, and that’s like comparing the carb needs of a type 2 diabetic to that of an athlete. Again, i recognise this is a problem of the very broad audience of the podcast, but I think some more clarity on the real underlying WHYs need to be answered. For example the ‘these foods have only been around for 10000 years’ line, this is assuming a linear evolution, which many experts suggest is not the case, so maybe Robb could discuss why we did or did not evolve more quickly after the invention of agriculture (http://the10000yearexplosion.com/). 2. Ben Wheeler says: December 17, 2010 at 2:52 pm Mat, I’ve been looking forward to seeing you on the show for some time now! A few questions from a fellow Canadian: 1. Could you please explain the difference between physiological insulin resistance and pathological insulin resistance. I think this is something that gets very mixed up not only in the mainstream, but in the low-carb/paleo community. 2. Cod Liver Oil- WAPF says yes, Cordain says no, who do the lay people believe? Both have very good researcher on both sides. Could it be the problem lies with Cod Liver Oils that have been striped of natural A & D and replaces with the synthetic variety? 3. PWO carbohydrate- I know you wrote a stellar piece sometime ago on Low-carb and CrossFit. How has your viewpoint evolved from that experiment, and over time? 3. Debbie says: December 17, 2010 at 3:55 pm Matt, I have really been working at being a Paleo health person. My only problem is I have Hashimoto disease. I work out five days a week. I watch what I eat. Perhaps more of a 85% paleo. What can I do to speed things along. I have been doing Paleo since May 2010 I have lost about 15 pounds, very, very slowing. Lots of tweaking with my thyroid meds and I continually tweak my food. Can you give me any suggestions? Thanks in advance – Debbie M. Diane @ Balanced Bites says: December 17, 2010 at 5:28 pm I’m going to throw my .02 in here before Matt (or Robb) gets to this one… if you’re not 100% gluten free, you need to be- as of yesterday. Seriously. So that 85% paleo… it needs to be 100% gluten free at a minimum! Datis Kharrazian talks a lot about this topic (the gluten-autoimmune thyroid connection) and I’ll be hearing him speak more about it next month here in the Bay Area. I’ll report back if there’s more. julianne says: December 19, 2010 at 9:07 pm Totally agree with Diane – I have Hashimotos. Get Dr K’s book and read it – it is useful, be super strict gluten free. Go 100% paleo. My anti-bodies are dropping since gluten free. Don’t go too low carb though, I’ve found so keep in a little good fruit like berries and good starches like sweet potato. Do the anti-autoimmune protocol in Robbs book, see if that helps. (Dairy and nightshade free). Make sure your vit D is around 45 – 50. Take omega 3. Be careful with iodine. It can cause a flare up. 4. Ben says: December 17, 2010 at 5:11 pm Short and sweet: what type of eating would he recommend to a lean 31 year old, strict paleo for 1.5 years, 164 lbs at 5 ft 11 inches who is looking to get body weight up to aprox 180-190 pounds on Ripp’s Starting Strength program. I am only 1.5 months in and slowly gaining weight, an

Here is episode 67. One week until Matt Lalonde makes his first appearance on the podcast. Be ready!!! Show Topics: Ring Row Substitution Fatigue During Long Runs Natural Calm / Lean Out Nutrition / Super Supplements Store Zinc, Magnesium, & Migraines Cortisol Issues What Would End Long, Healthy Life Cholesterol Levels Tournament Nutrition Hemp Protein Lean Meats Cheat Meals Vitamin D & Strength Detailed Questions: 1. Question from Antoinette: Hi, I just got your book a few days ago and I am reading the exercise section. I have got my six year old doing circuits with me and it was a great way for us to spend time together. Could you tell me a way to do body rows with something around the house? I don't have gym rings and live in a remote part of Australia. By the way, love your book and I am on my way to better health. I liked the first chapters about vegetarianism and your personal experiences. I was a vego for almost ten years myself and i feel so much better now on a high protein diet of meat and eggs. I am having trouble giving up the coffee... Keep up the good work. 2. Question from Loren: Hi, First off I love your podcast, and since newly starting paleo about a month ago, your podcasts have helped me tremendously. I am a nurse practitioner, love evidenced based medicine, and love how you back up this diet with your understanding of it down to the molecular level. Since starting, I've lost 10 lbs, I never have heartburn or IBS issues anymore, and I am finding that after I went through my 2 week lull, my mind is now sharper. The question is, I run long distances, half marathons and marathons. Since starting this diet, when I run, I feel really weak, and my legs feel like lead. My typical diet is veggie omelet blueberries and coffee in the morning, salad with grilled chicken and evoo and balsamic vinegar with apple for lunch. I have afternoon snack of macadamia nuts and a banana, and dinner is beef or chicken with lots of veggies. Is it my diet? I tried adding back sweet potatoes, but I get instant stomachache whenever I veer from the diet. My next half marathon is in may and I am starting to train now. After 2 miles I just can't seem to run anymore. Any suggestions? Thank you! 3. Question from Thomas: Robb & Andy, can't wait until they do an SNL skit on your podcast. Andy's laugh and Robb's constant one-liners still won't be better than the original though! Questions: 1. Robb on your recent blog post about you're training at 39, you mentioned to go easy with the Natural Calm as it could cause the trots (and I'm not really into self-torture). How much do you take? And are there other factors that would make someone need to take less/more? 2. Just like everyone else who asks questions here, I'm trying to lean out (last 5-10 lbs) but am also looking to put some lean mass on. I'm 6'-1", 190lbs. Cross-fitting 3x per week for 3 months now, Paleo for 3 months as well, and now I can see the top of my abs with just a little love-handle action... I've recently calculated my protein intake and was surprised it was less than 100g per day (don't weigh or measure and just didn't have a clue). I have upped that to roughly 1g per lb. of body weight (which is a surprising amount of meat) am taking Natural Calm, Omega-Maine Fish Oil, and 5,000 IU's of Vit. D. In addition to protein, I accompany most of my meals with steamed veggies and cook my meat in olive oil (typically). Other than the meat and olive oil I don't get much fat... Should I try to get more fat in if I'm trying to lose those last few lbs? What is the best type of fat to try to include if so (avocados, coconut oil, etc.)? Am I on the right track with this stuff and would I benefit from Super Enzymes? 3. (only if you "need" to fill time) On that same blog post (39 and I look AMAZING!!) It seemed like you were taking an entire "Super Supplements" store worth of supplements. I thought going on Paleo was all about getting everything you need from whole foods. What gives? 4. Question from Sean: Hey Robb, Love your book, blog and podcast, you are really changing lives, mine included! I am 32 yrs old, fit, live healthy and been training since 16. I have been having consistent migraines with aura all my life, (I am 32 yrs old) that seemed to be brought on by stress, lack of sleep working nights or some trigger foods. They weren't frequent, about every couple months but brutal with all the full body symptoms when they came. Ever since I started taking ZMA in Sept, 2010 for enhanced sleep, and workout recovery I haven't had ONE migraine! I haven't changed anything else but did some research and found a lot of stuff on magnesium supplementation reducing migraines for many sufferers... This is a life saver for me and would appreciate your thoughts on migraines and magnesium, and maybe even the zinc? Thanks Robb, keep doing what you do!!! 5. Question from Yak: Hi Robb & Andy, I stumbled across the podcast a couple of weeks ago and I'm having a great time listening to th
