Re-feeding after colonoscopy

Kelly writes:

Hi Robb & Nicki,

I've been listening to the pod for a few years now. I appreciate your insight and banter about such interesting topics. Thanks for keeping me entertained and informed. I'm about to schedule my first colonoscopy. My question is what is the best way to re-feed after this procedure? I see it as a "clean slate" - which could be good and bad. I'd like to allow for optimal regrowth in my system. If it matters, I'm a 45yo female with 3 little kids (2, 5, & 7) with history of intermittent intestinal distress (constipation, diarrhea, gas) which was worse when I was a child and also since having kids.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Be Well,

Kelly

Many thanks

Plant Paradox

Kiira writes:

Greeting from Spokane. Thank you for all your thoughts and comments over the years. I definitely feel kindred spirits with the two of you.

My inquiry is in your thoughts and opinions Dr. Gundry’s “plant paradox”. I completely agree with him about organic, grass fed, prairie meats and wild seafood. I agree that you have to be mindful about what your food eats. My question is about the minimal amount of protein he suggests. I have reservations about his recommendations for reduced protien intake and reduced red meat intake. Just curious about your opinions on this as well as his whole “plant paradox” as I know you always have one. Thank you for your time and all that you two are doing because this world is going to hell in a hand basket!

Mitigating Junk Food Diet

John writes

We eat a meat heavy, whole food diet in our house, in part because of you and your work. However our active, fit and healthy but rebellious teenage son gets access to and generally consumes junk food. Additionally, he will be headed to college soon and will have total control over his diet. Not a good thing. My question is: what one or two things would you recommend to mitigate this, assuming that I could get him to take one supplement, or do one minor thing, but nothing that will really require effort on his part - i.e. a multivitamin for nutritional deficiencies, a hydrogen water bottle for mitochondrial support, shilajit or liver pills, etc??? I know his being young and healthy will be a big factor, but if there is an easy and effective thing to send him away with, I'd love to know. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
