Welcome to the very first dedicated Q&A show for the Get Over Yourself podcast! It’s been a pleasure to review all the email commentary and feedback. Hopefully this show will increase the sense of community and also give you some practical tips and insights relevant to your own health goals. You will notice very quickly that I have a tendency to provide lengthy answers in the interest of making one person’s specific question relevant to a broad audience.  In this show, I cover topics like blue light blocking eyewear (check out my preferred brand, RA Optics, a cool operation started by Matt Maruca, who’s only 20 years old!) and the energizing effects of a negative ion generating air filter. Did you know that there’s a reason why you feel so energized right after you finish up with a shower? It’s actually because the cascading water generates negative ions. I also cover questions regarding optimal protein intake and the concerns about under-consuming or over-consuming protein (including some overblown warnings we’ve been hearing). Yes, protein consumption, like carbohydrates, stimulates insulin production in the body, but, as I detail in my explanation, it does so in an entirely different way. I then share the story behind the great work of South African exercise physiologist Dr. Timothy Noakes, who essentially refuted much of his life’s work when he discovered the ancestral/low-carb/keto eating pattern that helped him quickly drop excess body fat and escape type-2 diabetes risks.
