 ---------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: 

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Rachel Browne, the Podcast Sidekick. The Ultimate Guide To Napping 

Grant says: He recently saw your Snapchat story on napping. You said you naturally wake up after a 20-30 minutes daily nap and its part of your ritual. He's curious how your body naturally goes 20-40 minutes and wakes up by itself without an alarm? What does it mean if you nap longer, like 2-4 hours?  In my response, I recommend: -Supermemo napping article -Withing Aura -Sleepstream (use Powernap function) -Lavender essential oil -Sleepmask -SR1 Deltasleeper -Masimo pulse oximeter How Much Coffee Can You Drink If You're Pregnant or Breastfeeding? 

Dalice says: She loves the podcast! After the recent podcast with Dr. Chopra, she has a question about coffee while breastfeeding. The studies showed that coffee consumption had little impact on the child when pregnant, is this still the case when breastfeeding? She has a 4.5 month old daughter and she wants to know if she can safely drink caffeinated coffee while breastfeeding.  In my response, I recommend: - How To Maintain Muscle During Long Endurance Exercise 

Aleksi says: He loves the podcast and he's been listening for many years. His question regards hiking. He's going to Norway for a week-long hiking trip and he's wondering how he can keep himself healthy and not lose too much muscle during the trip, with the least amount of weight to carry? And would that change if he were to hike a 2000m Appalachian trail instead of a week-long hike?  In my response, I recommend: -NatureAminos -Algae article -Colostrum -Exogenous ketone + C8 & my article "How To Get Into Ketosis: The Ultimate Guide" -BPC-157 & SARMS like LGD-4033 -Broken Skull Challenge Warrior vs. Worrier Gene 

Cathy says: She loves the podcast. She has a question about the COMT mutation, which she has. She knows it means you can have a hard time breaking down catecholamines. She has major insomnia issues, if she's out late at night she just can't wind down, she feels like she has adrenaline and cortisol issues going on, and its really difficult for her to fall asleep. She's wondering if you have any advice for people with the COMT mutation and if there's anything they can do to help breakdown the catecholamines that would help her get more into her parasympathetic nervous system?  In my response, I recommend: -Thorne multivitamin -Magnesium lotion -DIM -For Worrier: Brain Food -23andme
