Dear Mark: EVOO, Supplements, Autoimmune Arthritis, Sauna, Keto Camping, Ketones for Autoimmune
For today’s edition of Dear Mark, I’m answering another round of questions asked by Twitter followers. First up is a three-parter, including a query about extra virgin olive oil, one about supplements everyone should take, and one about autoimmune arthritis in an athlete. Second, I cover whether sauna is a hormetic stressor or a way to relax (or both). Next, I give my recommendation for staying keto or carnivore while camping (it’s a quick one). And finally, I explore a potential protocol for using exogenous ketones to curb autoimmune inflammation. Let’s go: 1. Is very-high-polyphenol EVOO legitly far superior to easily-avail. qual EVOO? 2. What handful of supplems (broadly defined) make sense for almost everyone? 3. Any advice for age 20 elite athlete cursed w genetic autoimmune arthritis where keto, paleo, Mediterranean all failed? Carnivore? Olive oil: All else being equal, very high polyphenol EVOO should be superior to normal EVOO. Be careful in weighing messaging around
