Tinnitus

Karen writes:

Hi,

Thanks to you both for all you are doing!

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

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.
