Show Notes:

1. Thoughts On Oxalates? [3:02]

Alex says:

What is your perspective on oxalates? Is there any merit to what people like Dr William Shaw, Sally Norton, and Elliot Overton say about the evils of oxalates? or can we all keep eating spinach and almonds?  Could this be the explanation as to why some people who go full carnivore benefit from eliminating all greens?

 

2. Living WELL to 100 and Beyond [10:05]

Paul says:

Robb and Nicki, I am definitely one of the original 6 listeners and credit you many times for changing my life and educating me to the point that I helped other people change their lives. Ok I am 62 in very good shape and have a smoking hot younger wife that I would live to make it to our 50th wedding anniversary, which will make me 107. So the question is what test do I do now to make sure I have the best chance to achieve this goal and hopefully correct if something is wrong now?

 

3. Eating For Olympic Weightlifting [13:15]

Jake says:

Robb,

Thank you for the podcast its great. I know your very busy but I was wondering how you would suggest approaching a healthy diet for olympic weightlifting? I'm 35, 5ft9in 185lbs and around 18% body fat( this is a rough estimate using ketogains website). I want to compete but not looking to sacrifice my health, and would like to lift into my old age. You mentioned that you competed in powerlifting when you were younger and I thought maybe you would have some insight into the subject. I currently intermittent fast roughly 14hrs everyday. My diet is protein from variety of meats,carbs from lots of fresh veggies, fats from nuts, coconut and olive oil. No sugars unless family holiday. My goal is to lose some body fat but maintain my strength. I tried to go full keto, no carbs, and my strength plummets. Thanks again, sorry for such a long question.

 

4. Low Carb & Sleep [16:18]

Angel says:

Hi Robb,

Thanks for answering our questions! When I eat low carb, I tend to wake up at 3am and have a hard time falling back asleep. However, if I have some carbs (i.e. a small bowl of rice or a sweet potato) during dinner, I generally sleep through the night and wake up naturally a little after 6am. I usually go to bed around 10pm, and eat dinner around 6pm.

The problem is, when I eat carbs during dinner, I gain weight overtime. Eating low carb helps me lose weight. Is there a reason for the interrupted sleep eating low carb? I searched online and some people say it's due to noradrenaline. I don't know what that is and I am wondering how i can improve my sleep while eating low carb? Thank you very much for your knowledge!

For years, Robb Wolf-The Paleo Solution Podcast has served as a grounded, science-based conversation about what it really means to be healthy. Robb Wolf, a leading voice in the ancestral health movement, uses this platform to explore the interconnected worlds of paleo diet principles, practical nutrition, sustainable fitness, and holistic health. The discussions move far beyond simple food lists, delving into how our modern lifestyle clashes with our evolutionary biology and what we can do about it. You’ll hear detailed explorations of metabolic flexibility, the nuances of body recomposition, and the foundations of resilient aging. Episodes often tackle circadian biology, gut health, and the practical applications of low-carb, keto, and paleo dietary frameworks, all with an eye on making the information actionable. This podcast is for anyone tired of quick fixes and seeking a deeper, evidence-informed understanding of their own well-being. While this show remains a rich archive of foundational knowledge, note that for ongoing weekly Q&A on diet and health topics, Robb now hosts 'The Healthy Rebellion Radio'. The Paleo Solution continues as an essential resource for building a robust, lasting understanding of health fundamentals.
