Remember to submit your own questions for Robb and Nicki to answer on a future show here: https://robbwolf.com/contact/submit-a-question-for-the-podcast/ Show Notes: 1. [2:06] Kidney Stones Krisztian says: I've been mostly Paleo for about 5 years now based on one of your piror books.  Overall, it has worked well for me, with one exception.  I started to develop kidney stones on a regular basis.  I finally had them analyzed and they turned out to be calcium oxalate stones.  Upon reading up on this condition, it stems from a high amount of oxalate in the diet.  Unfortunatley, most of the foods I liked on Paleo happen to be super high in oxalate... spinach, nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, sweet potatoes.  The other wammy here is that I was initially avoiding dairy on Paleo which turns out to be worse for stones because one way to counteract high oxalate intake is to match it with high calcium to avoid stone formation.  I've since gone back to eating plenty of cheese

[3:41] Fasting and silent reflux Kristin says: I can't thank Robb enough for the impact he has had on my health!  I have been following him for years, i was paleo for 5 years before doing the carb tests in Wired to Eat.  Much to my surprise, i was sensitive to every single carb i tested.  I immediately went the keto route, and have been so thankful.  Not only have i lost 32 lbs and feel a lot better, this has greatly benefited my vision.  I have retinitis pigmentosa, and i was shocked by how much worse my vision was during the carb testing.  I feel that learning this will definitely help prevent my vision loss from progressing as rapidly as it would have with higher carbs.  My mom is almost totally blind, so i am doing everything i can to prevent the same fate. After about 8 months of k

Sarang says: Hey Robb, You have been successful in making me and thousands of guys like me to become total "nutrition nerds". We have all been listening to your podcasts from months/years and reading all kinds of books and blogs we can find to quench the thirst for more knowledge. For some reason, its a highly addictive subject and I'm thinking and reading about it most of the time. It would be great if you could list out some books that are knees deep in the science and not just superficial advice. The whole paleo/nutrition community would be thankful for that.

Robert says Hi Robb, I love the new format of the podcast, and really enjoy the episodes that leave the health sphere just a little. The episode about self-defense was a great listen! This question is really aimed to help you get rid of your pesky listeners - especially those that you've convinced to eat a meat and veggie diet. After the zero-carb episode with Dr. Shawn Baker, I decided to give carnivorousness shot. Some greasy used car salesman keeps telling me to try it and see how I look, feel and perform, so I figured might as well. To my surprise, I didn't develop horrendous constipation, gastrointestinal distress, or even scurvy. In fact, I felt pretty damn good. After a couple of weeks I started looking at re-introducing some higher fat
