1. Low Iron Diet [15:15]

Shawn says:

Hey Robb and Nicki,

About 18 months ago I found out I have hemochromatosis. I've been getting blood letting since and have my iron under 50 now. My question is about diet. Obviously my doctor doesn't want me eating alot of red meat, organ meat, or high iron seafoods. Am I going to start getting deficient in vitamins and nutrients (B12 etc.) Is there anything I can do diet wise to try and replace the vitamins and nutrients? Can you do a carnivore or Paleo diet without eating alot of red meat? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm confused as the best way to optimize my specific dietary needs. Thank you so much for the podcast and everything you two do.

2. Using Milk for Calorie Surplus to Gain Weight [19:01]

Andy says:

Hi Robb and Nicki,

I'm a new Healthy Rebellion member and love it. I'm 42, 5'6" and weigh 140. Followed Robb since 5+ years of crossfit in my mid-30s. I have maybe 5 pounds of fat I could lose around my waste. Eat low carb and zero sugar...mostly meat/eggs, fruit and nuts. No "comorbidities". I don't have a big appetite and my body defaults to 135-140 lbs. My parents are also really small.

I've been thinking a lot about the importance of strength/muscle mass and aging. My dad has dropped probably 20 lbs and all of his muscle from early 60s to mid 70s. He's not physically active. Over the next few years I would like to get my weight up to a lean 155-160 and maintain at that weight as long as possible. If I starting aging at 135 lbs then I'm going to be in trouble.

I've begun a Starting Strength style linear progression with the basic barbell lifts. Lift 3x per week and add weight to the bar each time. I have a real hard time eating enough meat to maintain the calorie surplus it's going to take to gain the weight. I don't want to do it via carbs (rice/pasta/etc). I digest whole milk fine.

What are your thoughts on drinking 24-32 oz of milk per day to gain weight? Does pasteurized vs raw matter? Thoughts on long-term consumption? I'll probably have to keep it up to keep the weight on. Any other suggestions to add 300-500 calories to my diet besides "suck it up" and eat more?

Thanks.

Andy

3. Will Soy Based Bath Cleaner Affect My Backsquat? [23:17]

Kie says:

Hi Robb and Nicki,

Your podcast is great, it's changed the way I live my life for the better. Quick question if I may. My wife wants to switch to a soy based bath cleaner because it's good for the environment. Are the Xenoestrogens and Phytoestrogens leeched into my bathwater from this product going to affect my backsquat progress?

Thanks!

4. Saw Palmetto Supplement - Hoax Or Real Deal? [26:56]

Jared says:

Hey Robb,

I understand you get a lot of questions thrown your way, and often times most of my questions are answered from listening to the podcast or doing a little digging. But, every once in a while I get a question that causes me to ponder, "I wonder what Robb's opinion is?" A friend asked me if I know anything about Saw Palmetto, as he noticed it in a supplement called Ageless Male. I didn't know anything, but did some Googling and noticed that it's touted for its prostate and hormonal benefits (including testosterone support and improved muscle strength). Seems just as effective as deer antler velvet to me. Anyway, what feedback could you provide as to how beneficial this could be for my aging 50 year old friend? Anything is greatly appreciated.

5. A Kids Audiobook Series, PMR & Keto, and Mouthwash [29:23]

Tamara says:

Hi there,

Nikki, you mentioned some audio book series you're listening to with your girls. What were they again?

Also, is there any information on how keto or carnivore can help PMR?

One last super random question, what do you guys think about mouth wash? Yay or Nay?

Thanks for all of your help.
