Podcast Questions:

 

1. Ground meat causing relationship ending gas [21:00]

Ryan C. says:

Hey Guys,

So this is my first question I’ve ever submitted (going to be doozy) over the years I’ve listened to this podcast (back through Andy and Greg). I first wanted to say, this podcast and Robb are hugely responsible for me quitting my 9-5 and pursuing my dream career in health and fitness. So thank you endlessly.

Now the question regarding my “relationship ending gas”. It hasn’t quite ended the relationship yet, but I’m on thin ice if I don’t fix it or, maybe even worse, have to stop eating ground meat.

Over the past year when I eat ground meat, I’ve tried beef, bison, turkey, etc. I become extremely gassy, next level, biochemical warfare, shut down a small mall type of next level. It also sometimes happens with just a fatty cut of beef. Now I assumed it was the super fatty stuff, so I cut back, but they still to be on par with each other. Which is basically the tiger woods of farts and sometimes Diarrhea.

(This may be your worst question.)

Anyway, when I search the internet for “why?”, the good ol’ google machine says shit like “stop eating meat you murderer, you’ll get ass cancer” or articles on how eating meat is the next AIDS, will destroy the earth, is transphobic, etc. It’s crazy and there is no real info I can find.

So that is why I’m punishing you guys with this question, I really tried not to. I promise.

What do you think this is? A meat allergy, bacterial thing… ass cancer? Help! Help my relationship…

 

2. Kidney Stones [28:09]

Jared says:

I'm 42 and relatively healthy, 6'1", 165lbs. I recently had a kidney stone where intense pain started, I went to the ER, and passed the stone all on the same day. My mom has had kidney stones before, but not as young as me.

I was drinking 1 LMNT daily but not really doing any physical activity. I just like my water to taste like something. I did find some studies that too much sodium can be associated with kidney stones in some people, but that sounds like a very confounded observation to me. Do you think there is any association? Drinking too much LMNT in absence of physical activity has been associated with sporadic stomach aches for me in the past, so I had recently cut back over the past few months preceding this incident.

Also, the doctor said that it could be from not drinking water frequently enough, which I am probably guilty of. The LMNT seems to help reduce the volume of water I drink because it quenches my thirst more than plain water, so maybe it is indirectly related?

Anyway, would be happy to hear any thoughts you have.
