Podcast Questions:
1. Cold weather and the urge to pee [20:04]
Michael B. says:
Every year when the temperature drops I feel the need to urinate more often. It especially hits me the hardest when first going outside into the cold even if I just went. It also happens when I get cold water on my hands. I have been upping my salt content in an attempt to keep the fluids in my body longer. The urge does slowly lesson as winter progresses. My diet is Paleo around 100grams of carbs a day. I do have a meal or two a week that isn’t, my job keeps me on my feet and active exercise consists of mt biking once a week and chasing my five year old daily. I’m 43 6’2” and 220lbs. Definitely a so called dad bod. So what is up with all the peeing? What’s my body doing and is there something I can do rather then just waiting for my body to adjust to the weather? Thanks, been listening and reading your stuff since the very beginning.
2. Zone 2 Exercise / LMNT through Amazon [23:57]
BJ David says:
Hi Robb & Nicki. Long time listener. You have answered a couple of my questions over the last few years through your podcast. Thanks. Feels like we're besties. Can't wait to get your Christmas card this year! Ha.
Ok, so we live very close to a major Amazon hub in Greater Cincinnati, on the KY side of the river. To my horror yesterday morning I opened the pantry to get an LMNT pack and there were none. Zero. Zilch. My lovely bride had used the last one apparently. Moving swiftly into action, I jumped on the Amazon app and ordered a box. Honest to goodness, it was at my front door in a couple hours. Didn't even have to wait a whole day. That's some magic right there. Woohoo! Side note, I went ahead and clicked the box to get it auto-shipped monthly. It really is that good.
So, my question is about Zone 2 exercise. My integrative Dr told me to use Zone 2 if I was still interested in losing/maintaining weight...that it is the best fat burning zone. Over recent episodes I've heard you repeatedly mention getting in your Zone 2 workouts and that you've been paying more attention to them lately. I'm pretty sure you've even mentioned that you really don't want to get any leaner. Soooo, why are you recently so committed to Zone 2 exercise? What are the benefits you're after?
Thanks to you both. Keep up the great work.

3. BJJ training and bruising [30:04]
Jason says:
I’ve been training 12 years and over time I’ve realized my body has built up a great tolerance to bruising, to the point you’d have to beat me with a stick to abuse a bruise. However @ the last 5 years I get bruising on my face almost every training session. Not like a black and blue bruise, more like a strawberry color like a brush burn, and it goes away in 24-48hrs.
Healthy 51 years old, no meds, mostly ancestral diet, moderate alcohol consumption. 1/2-3/4 bottle of wine per day.
Bonus question for fun!
About twice per year my wife will make a awesome homemade apple pie and we have this argument every time. Her philosophy is eat just a little piece every day until it’s gone. Mine is have a grueling workout then sit down with 1/2 gallon of ice cream and do my best to kill it all at one sitting so I’m not tempted to eat it again for months. Who’s side are you on? Ps i don’t care the answer because I’m still eating the whole damn thing lol!
