These findings support the hypothesis of an adaptative response of the liver to regular fructose exposure, i. e. habitual SSB consumption. 1. Is It Possible To Have Increased Plaque Build Up On A Paleo Diet??? [14:08] Stephanie says: Hello Robb and Nikki! Quick not so quick question... I was turned on to Paleo Solution book around 2011 and since then it’s been loaned out more time than I can count. It was a game changer for me, it allowed me to share information with clients and friends without the emotion I tend to get lost in. I’m 43, a personal trainer and nutrition coach. I’ve seen a functional medicine practitioner for about 7 years getting my regular labs drawn etc. They come back with rave reviews and it has everything to do with my nutrition. However... the newest practitioner I see has a nurse, she is the one who counsels on nutrition to the practitioners patients. I recently reached out to ask if a heart MRI would be proactive given my father just had a massive heart attack and a triple bypass surgery, he’s 73, and apparently the ultimate cause was an abnormality in the left ventricle. The nurse contacted me today to talk more in this. I was clear in saying I have no concern that I have build up as my blood work has consistently  been well above satisfactory, that it was more to look at the make up of the heart. She said “as long as your following a plant based diet you should be fine.” Wtf, I literally almost choked. I said I was far from that and had no intention as such. She alerted me on her plant based nutrition certification and that “all that meat I was eating, regardless of my blood work, I could still have too much plaque.” Y’all!!!!!! We exchanged some “thoughts” and she said I needed to be careful where I got my info from because of funding. Is she serious?!?! Sooo I’m feeling frustrated and defeated, I refer this person to my clients and now I’ve lost trust. I want to beable to solidly share relevant, information without getting emotionally heated in these situations. Any insights or thoughts on how handle this, when she’s telling me my eggs are causing plaque? Go to studies I can share? Love y’all so much. Thanks for being amazing, funny and thought provoking https://nutrition-network.org/   2. Too Little or Too Much Salt? [22:41] Hannah says: Hi, I'm coming here because google is a soup of mis-information and I can't seem to get anywhere with it.  I'm 42 years old, 5'3", not overweight (+-133lbs.) and have been keto (very close to carnivore because I'm not a veggie eater) for just about three years.  For the last 10 months I've been intermittent fasting (18-20hrs/day) and have a "carb" day once a week, (with the exception of Thanksgiving-Christmas 2020.)  For the majority of that time, I've felt great.  Never have I had issues with keto-flu, I'm able to transition back with little issue.  Once I began fasting, even better.  And I've been a believer in the importance of supplementing with electrolytes.  I've been using LMNT for as long as I think its been on the market.  Typically one packet/day, sometimes two if a particularly strenuous day. Okay here is my current issue.  After the new year, I've been a little slow getting back in full swing of my keto and IF, but for the last
