I have recently done a GI Map test and the results showed that I had Giardia, h. pilory and a parasite. I've heard Robb mention that he had Giardia in the past and if i heard correctly that he still has issues with it. I'm working with a functional medical doctor and they have me on several supplements to correct the issues, just wanted to get another insight on what I can expect in my healing journey, any sage advice to my treatment and what possible ongoing issues I should be looking out for. Thank you!   Physiological insulin resistance Jada writes: Hi Robb and Nikki, I'm hoping you can help me with a question I have about physiological insulin resistance. I know that this condition is a natural adaptation to long-term carbohydrate restriction, and it's been my understanding that it's not necessarily something to worry about. Do you have any evidence to confirm or deny this? Is physiological insulin resistance good, bad, or neutral? Thanks, Jada   Confused on what to eat Ann writes: Thanks for all the work you do to keep us all informed. I have a question. I should start with that. I am 5’9” 165 pounds. My journey began in 2014 when I weighed 290 lbs and started a bulletproof diet. I did that for about four years and then I started a carnivore diet. I did that for four years also. I’ve lost the weight but now I just want to eat a balanced diet. I now eat about 140-160gr of animal/fish protein about 80 gr of both fat and carbs. Carbs consist of fruit and veggies and the fat consist of butter,ghee olive oil,olives and avocado. Should I take electrolytes? Or should I just do Redmond real salt in water? I had to when I was a carnivore, but do I have to take anything now? I am also I think I kind of had an eating disorder and now I feel really straightened out but Everybody’s talk talk talking that you need to eat this are you might die you need to eat that or that’s wrong or you have to eat this to be healthy. Can I just eat normal? Or is the way I eat not normal? I am very confused. Can you help ? Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.
