---- News topic du jour: Evidence Supporting a Phased Immuno-physiological Approach to COVID-19 From Prevention Through Recovery

1. Fast AM Nutrition for Kids [10:17] Stephen says:

Even with all the importance put on sleep, schools still are having kids wake up at very early hours. My son is not eating breakfast because as he says, I am just not that hungry that early and I don't have time to make anything. Yes, he could get up earlier but then he is cutting into the limited sleep he is trying to maximize.

Question: what quick morning nutrition can you suggest for kids 10-14? does it differ if they are highly active or not? for an "undersized" child as opposed to an average-sized child?

I am open to homemade and "store-bought" options. Trying to find something he can run out the door with and even eat on the bus if he needs.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks

Stephen

2. Difference Dietary Needs within Household [16:01] Emma says:

Hi Robb,

I just finished Wired to Eat and loved it! I am currently over weight and have struggled with my weight for about 20 years. I really want to try the paleo diet but struggle when trigger foods are in the house. My husband and daughter, however have very fast metabolisms. My husband is on his feet over 12 hours a day at work and cannot function without a high level of carbs at meals. How can I balance their need for carbs with my need to stay away from them without having an anxiety attack watching them eat all the things I wish i could have?

Thanks!

3. Hot Baths Vs Saunas (as an alternative) [22:16] Michael says:

Greetings to you both!

Can hot baths stimulate the system (sweating and activation of heat shock proteins) in a way that is comparable to a sauna? Because of distancing (very tired of that word), more people have baths at their homes than saunas (why I ask).

PS Nicki has the best infectious giggle I have ever heard, ever. I laugh every damn time she does.

4. Low Carb and Electrolyes While Breastfeeding [28:22] Katie says:

Hi Robb! Love the podcast. Would love to ask a couple questions..

I follow low-carb and am currently breastfeeding. I am wondering if that makes it more necessary for me to take an electrolyte supplement? How does one know if they are low carb enough to need one?

Also, wondering about insulin sensitivity and the best way to test this. CGM? Fasting insulin, c-peptide, A1c?

Thanks so much!

5. Keto and Dopamine/Cortisol [35:09] Andy says:

Good morning Robb and Nicki,

I have been listening to your podcasts since March and recently joined the Healthy Rebellion. I really enjoyed the Ziva meditation broadcast and I greatly appreciate the Covid Salty Talk, I was out for a walk and laughing my ass off at some of the comments. Please keep up the dark humor, I greatly appreciate it.

I've been a firefighter for 20 years or so, been eating paleo for the last 10 (one of my crossfit firefighters got me introduced), but have always had an issue with the weight around the middle. We work 48 hr shifts and sleep loss is a common thing. I do my best to take naps at work and am trying meditation to balance it out. I have also struggled with depression and recently found a good counselor. So, my question is, with the sleep and depression issues, does this cause a cortisol response, resulting in the weight around the waist and can a keto diet help to balance this out?

Thanks for putting together the Healthy Rebellion, what a great resource!!!!

Thanks,

Andy
