I especially love your updates on homeschooling, etc. Please keep them coming when you care to share. You guys are awesome!! Quick statement/question.... Tinnitus is NOT fun. Do you have any thoughts on dealing with it? Would LMNT help? I already have all my health pillars checked and am doing great at 61 years of age, but this ringing is getting gradually louder, and I want to turn the volume down on it so to speak. Thank you!!! Hydrogen Water Steve writes: Hi Robb and Nicki (aka Hubs and Wife). First of all, thank you for all that you do. You are making a difference! The health influencers have been talking a lot about hydrogen water as of late. Looked into it a bit and looks like there may be some benefits, but would like your thoughts. Highly touted machines seem to be in the $2k-$4k range, while the smaller portable ones are much less expensive. I'm doubtful of the cheaper ones. We have a child (19 years old) who is dealing with much fatigue, brain fog, etc. He lifts heavy (probably overdoes it 7 days a week, and goes hard), as well as overeats (hard gainer). So I'm guessing his inflammation levels are high and maybe mitochondrial damage issues? He also has horrible sleep habits and seems his circadian rhythm is off. We've been doing everything we can to figure it out and try to get him to a better place. MD's, Functional Medicine practitioners, acupuncturists, etc... Blood tests came back normal (but maybe there are some markers we should be checking that weren't tested). Also started him on a keto diet (mostly carnivore) to see if that helps. With all that said, I was wondering if the hydrogen water is something we should explore. If so, any machine brands you could recommend? P.S. Can LMNT be mixed with the hydrogen water. We love us some LMNT! Best, Steve from Seattle Keto for dementia Becky writes: Hi Robb & Nicki-- Long time, first time. :) I am a 45 year old female, about 80 lbs overweight, but my bloodwork is pretty darn good. (Total cholesterol 203, HDL 65, Tri's 52, BP 118/72 on average). I was 365 lbs 10 years ago, and now I'm around 225 (5'5") through a low-carb paleo diet. I feel pretty good besides my thighs chaffing from the 10-15k steps I get everyday. I usually eat during a 16:8 window. My feeling is that I could fast and diet down to a healthy weight, but I can't sustain longer fasts without bingeing. I can, however, stick to low carb pretty easily. Here's the crux of my issue: my mom is 64 and getting dementia. She's always maintained a healthy weight and is very active. From what I understand, the doctor is concerned about her fasting glucose, A1C, and Triglycerides. He put her on a CGM, but she wouldn't use it. I am concerned for myself because I don't want dementia. Is keto good enough to help ward off dementia, or do I need to lose the weight, too? I've failed so many times to get under 225, but I can't give up if the extra weight is going to contribute to mental illness. Many thanks for your work.

  • Collagen and Joints, Modify Estrogen with Diet, Electrolytes and Respiratory Rate | THRR182

    Collagen and Joints, Modify Estrogen with Diet, Electrolytes and Respiratory Rate | THRR182

Thank you for all you are doing in the health space! I am a long time listener and appreciate your podcast! I am 51 years old, 5'4", and 145#. I am fit, and have been competing in CrossFit and Functional Fitness for a long time, including some international masters competitions. I have eaten a paleo diet since 2016, and added dairy to that in 2020 when my whoop told me my recovery was better every time I had dairy. More recently, my diet is leaning toward carnivore, but I still do eat fruits and vegetables, just not as frequently as before. Unfortunately, I was recently diagnosed with stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma (breast cancer). I underwent a bilateral mastectomy on 3/18/24 and will be seeing the medical oncologist for treatment planning on 4/12/24. I know your podcast can not give medical advice. My question is regarding dietary changes that could reduce my estrogen levels. My cancer was estrogen positive. Through conversations with my surgeon, as well as the breast cancer groups I have recently joined, it is likely the medical oncologist is going to recommend I start hormone blockers. I would prefer to find ways to reduce my estrogen with lifestyle changes vs medications if I can. I am in perimenopause, so my total estrogen is lower to begin with. It was 43 pg/ml when it was tested in January. So, my question - Is there anything I can do dietarily or with other lifestyle changes that can reduce my estrogen levels? Thank you so much for your assistance. I look forward to hearing your answer! Dana Electrolytes and respiratory rate Colette writes: "I have a question about electrolytes affecting respiratory rate. I got a notification from Apple Health that my respiratory rate had gone up over the last 10 days from an avg of 13.7 breaths a minute to 15.9. I’ve never received that particular notification from Apple before and I’m wondering if it correlates with me starting LMNT around the same time. I did a google search and did see that salts and water along with a list of other things can affect respiratory rates so I wanted to check to see if I should cut back on the amount I’m using (1 packet a day)or be concerned?" Supplementing collagen for joint pain Ann writes: Hi Robb, I’m wondering if you could shed some light on the efficacy of adding collagen to treat knee pain/arthritis. I’m 61 years old, normal weight, low carb diet, regular walker, and I resistance train 3-4x/week. After a lot of years of sports, running etc I’ve developed some pretty bad knee pain and have been advised that knee replacement surgery is in my future. I’m not really on board with that and have been experimenting with red light therapy and recently added collagen supplements to my diet. I followed the advice of another individual in the low carb/wellness space and ordered from a particular company. While the product seems fine so far (I think its too soon to see improvement), the over-the-top aggressive daily emails and constant pushing of other products are starting to make me think there something scam-like going on. My understanding is that it’s important to get types I and III, bovine, grass fed, hydrolyzed collagen, but I’m having trouble finding objective advice that isn’t promoting a specific company’s products. I’d appreciate any advice you can give. I’m a big fan of LMNT and I appreciate all you do. Thank you Ann Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

No meds! Feverfew for Migraine Migraine Prevention through Ketogenic Diet: More than Body Mass Composition Changes Elimination Diet for Migraine Questions: Linoleic Acid Gerry writes: Rob and Nickie.. Fellow Montanans here.. from the Kalispell area snd have seen you both around town! Hope you are enjoying Bozo town, you will definitely get more sunshine there.. My wife and I have been avoiding seed oils for several years now. Recently, I heard Dr.Mercola speak about the dangers of linoleic acid. He urged everyone to avoid bacon and eggs from conventionally fed chickens and pigs. He stated that the soy and corn fed to these animals contains seed oils and is stored in muscle and fat.. When we eat bacon or eggs we are loading up on toxic fats! I have not heard others warn of this danger, even high profile carnivore advocates.. I have been carnivore for over a year and noticed much less joint pain and substantial weight loss ., Bacon and eggs are a major part of my diet! It’s is disheartening to think of avoiding them. What do you two think about this?? Saturated Fat for Type 1 Will writes I'm a 51 y/o type 1 diabetic. I'm 5'10" and 170 lbs. I'm also very lean and carry a healthy amount of muscle mass. Since I'm wholly reliant on exogenous insulin, I'm hyper aware of my own insulin sensitivity, or lack thereof. Every time I eat a large bolus of saturated fat, especially beef, my insulin sensitivity drops dramatically and I end up taking 2 - 3 times the amount of insulin for a known food than normal. The worst food offenders are saturated fat + starch combinations like steak and potato or coconut curry and rice. Even if I restrict the carbs completely, large doses of saturated fat leave me chasing blood sugars and often injecting large doses of insulin to counteract the high glucose levels. Aside from limiting intake of beef, lamb, and other meats containing lots of saturated fat, what proteins would you rely on for health and body composition? Migraine with Aura Renea writes: My daughter has suffered from monthly migraines since the age of 2. She vomits every-time. Around the age of 8 she began getting migraines with aura and the vomiting went from one occurrence to 6-15 hours long. She is now 12, almost out of puberty and still suffers from auras. We have tried a lot of functional medicine but can’t seem to find many answers. Her neurologist wants to put her on anti seizure meds but we have put it off due to the side effects of that class of drug. Preventative drugs are not favored either due to the side effects. I too suffer from auras but only get them when I workout at 100% (CrossFit causes many of my auras and have since stopped CF) I try to workout at 80% to prevent them. Any advice how to prevent auras with migraine? Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT. Proper hydration is more than just drinking water.
