Q: I've been working on anxiety and nausea and am trying to do it naturally. I was working on supplements and CBD oil for high cortisol. I went to an endocrinologist and it turns out I have low morning cortisol. I thought CBD oil was helping me a lot, but now I'm having second thoughts. What do you think?  In my response, I recommend:  -DUTCH Test -24 hour pulse oximeter  (use BEN for $30 off on WHOOP) -My podcast and my article on sleep apnea How To Recover Faster...50:45 

Q: I'm a 32 year old female facing ACL reconstruction with my hamstring and a meniscus repair. What supplements or vitamins would you recommend that will help promote healing in addition to healthy eating and physical therapy I'll be doing?  In my response, I recommend:  -Kion recovery bundle -Local cryo -Stem cells/exosomes -TB500/BPC-157 (including Dr. Seed's Oral BPC-157) -Pulsecenters PEMF-Flexpulse -NeuroField -MarcPro  (use code BEN for 10% off) -JOOVV Light (use code BEN for a free gift at checkout) -Vitamin C -Proteolytic Enzymes -Fish Oil -Amino Acids Which Artificial Sweeteners Are OK To Consume?... 

Q: I'll be starting the Gaps diet shortly, specifically for the first 2-week intensive "intro diet." Just wondering if things like NutriSweet can have a negative effect. I eat sugar-free gum a lot, and drink Diet Coke from time to time. Just curious if these things will undermine the process.  In my response, I recommend:  -Omica Organics Stevia -Zevia -Swerve -Monk Fruit -Allulose   How To Get Carbs On A Carnivore Diet... 

Q: I just listened to the podcast on the Carnivore Diet, and it made my jaw drop. I was wondering how someone training for an Ironman triathlon who's just learned about this new information, and who consumes a lot of vegetables, can implement a Carnivore diet and still take in carbs while training for the event.  In my response, I recommend: -My podcast with Paul Saladino -Ketosis vs. Carnivore Diet, Why Ketosis Isn’t For Everyone, & How To Do Ketosis & Carnivore “The Right Way”     Giveaways & Goodies [1:20:15]
