Love your podcast. I've just found out Iikely have an injury/tear as mentioned above and am pending diagnostic tests. In the meantime, I've been prescribed Baclofen (Muscle relaxant) and an NSAID. Both are making me very ill to the point where I've pretty much stopped taking the meds as Baclofen is causing me to be very unstable on my legs, horribly nauseated, physically ill and feeling very groggy/sedated/intoxicated. The NSAID...I noticed lastnight I had some blood drip during an Ileostomy appliance change. I'm aware of the bowel bleed risks to myself with Crohn's and an ostomy, but after a bleed, more. As a result of choosing not to take these meds anymore, I am in excruciating agony and nothing is providing relief...hot baths, cold packs, hot packs. I cannot sleep for the agony. Every single movement/action excruciating to the point of wanting to scream. Is there a safer, easy remedy for the pain that I can try without requiring much use of my arm? Any suggestions are appreciated. Air Hunger and Keto Joe writes: Hello Robb and Nikki. I have a couple of questions: I have been chronically experiencing "air hunger" (feeling of inability to get a deep enough breath, rather than a shortness of breath) when following a ketogenic diet. Being insulin resistant, it is critical that I find a solution. My doctor pointed me to ph balance but offered no real solutions. I've since begun drinking alkaline water almost exclusively and it seems to have helped some, though not completely. I don't think this is just in my head, though my research yields a correlation with anxiety, which I do not have. Is this real thing or am I imagining things just because of my carb addiction? If it is real, any ideas how to combat it? Next question is about LMNT. Though I've been a user for quite a while, I tend have a rather explosive intestinal response soon after ingesting it. I've tried cutting back, which is fine when not following a ketogenic diet, but when on diet I really need it. Thoughts? Thanks! Previous Myocarditis and MRNA shot Marc writes: Hi Robb and Nikki, Long time listener, and reader from the beginning here. Really appreciate all that you do as I have made vast improvements in my life which all started with the paleo solution over a decade ago. I am a healthy, active 37 year old male, living in Brooklyn NY. I cycle 4-5 days a week, lift weights 3-5 days, play ice hockey and get plenty of sun! I eat a carnivorish, paleo type diet, with a strict aversion to gluten. Sleep is pretty dialed in, though I do enjoy alcohol one or two nights a week, but am also very aware of how it effects me etc. When I was 20 years old I ended up hospitalized for over a week with myocarditis. I had strep throat, which was all the norm for me, as I used to get it once or twice a season until my mid 20's. The infection had actually gone down into my heart and which had caused the issue. It was a terrifying experience as they thought at first I was having a heart attack. After things went back to normal and I was discharged, the cardiologist told me to take a baby asprin every day, prescribed me nitroglycerin incase I had chest pain, and told me to "maybe try meatless Mondays, as heart disease runs in the family." I was far from thrilled with the "solutions" I was given. Long story short, it was after this that I started my health journey which eventually led me to you and the Paleo Diet. Within a month I was down 20 lbs, feeling great, and fast forward over 15 years later I never had another strep infection! Cutting to the chase, when covid struck, I went and got the first 2 jabs of pfizer, back in early 2021 living here in NYC I wouldn't have been able to participate in life, and they dangled the carrot in front our noses, promising freedom once the shot was taken. I had not heard anything about the dangers of myocarditis being a side effect at that point, and Needless to say I was infuriated once the side effects were made known. Its been about 3.5 years since getting my second shot, but seeing all of these healthy young people drop dead has been pretty frightening. There is also no way to "google" this stuff and get answers, we all depend on brave people like RFK Jr, and Brett Weinstein to stand up and inform us. I was wondering if you had any advice on anything I can continue to do, and/or if you think I should even be concerned at this point. I know there's probably alot to unpack here, but any advice, or information that you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for everything, and wish you all the best! -Marc Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT. Proper hydration is more than just drinking water.
