Casein vs whey protein, building muscle and keeping sarcopenia in check
Trying to find details on these, best ways to use for what purposes, best times etc. e.g. as a female who has just turned 50 and has neglected resistance training for an entire lifetime up until very recently, I would like to both build strength and minimize sarcopenia simultaneously if possible (in short, my goal is to never break a hip). Food is always the first option for daily protein intake but when supplements are convenient it would be great knowledge to have. Can casein and whey powders be mixed, for example? Thank you!
IV trend
Hi Andrew, what are your thoughts on this new trend of using IV to get vitamins, minerals, and hydration? Many MDs created their own clinics where they claim you can get IVs tailored to boost energy, immune system( e.g vit C, b12, magnesium sulfate, zinc and trace minerals) or detoxify from heavy metals. Thank you for all the great work you are doing!
Adolescent Body Dysmorphic Disorder & High-Functioning Depression
I am the mother of a 14-year-old girl who is in desperate need of help. My daughter's main concern is her appearance, despite not having any abnormalities. She believes she has a defect on her face, and nothing seems to change her perception. She masks her struggles well at school, but I can see she is suffering from low mood and diminished self-esteem. She is currently receiving therapy, and we recently began medication a few months ago. We started with Escitalopram 10 mg, but due to incomplete improvement, we switched to Fluoxetine 20 mg. However, the new medication seems to be exacerbating her low mood. I haven't found much information on Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) in adolescents. Could you please help us find a way to improve her condition?
Ibuprofen
I have two questions, both of which relate to ibuprofen. #1 - Have you ever done an episode that addresses ibuprofen? I know there’s a lot of info online, but would love to do a deeper into how it works, its effects on the body/side effects, etc. #2 - In a related question, is a small dose of ibuprofen appropriate/harmful as a sleep aide? I find I often sleep better when I take an ibuprofen before going to sleep. Perhaps that’s bc avoiding an ache or pain is one less reason to wake up. Any thoughts you have on both of these questions would be much appreciated. Thank you, Lauren
