Questions asked during live Q&A:
0:00 Introduction
0:42 Can you give me tips on how to optimize health, strength, and fitness?

7:32 Red vs green rooibos tea. Which is healthier?
7:45 A study from Charité Berlin showed that regular blood donation could lower blood pressure. Are there any other health-releated advantages from blood donation?
9:02 Are prunes or dates high in polyphenol oxidase (PPO) like bananas? Any other fruits or just bananas to worry about?
10:05 Does B12 definciency cause intense sugar and salt cravings?
10:32 I had intense sugar and salt cravings then my doctor put me on statins and they went away. Now that I'm off statins, the cravings are back. What explains that?
11:00 Have you looked at research on therapeutic use of psychedelics?
12:05 My LDL and total cholesterol remain high in spite of being WFPB for 8+ years. I have a family history of cardiac disease. What else can I do?
14:50 Are 90 grams of nuts and seeds (~3.20 oz) per day too much? Where is the tipping point for nuts and seeds?
15:14 I have just stopped using all non caloric sweeteners. Are there any studies that show how long it might take my body to start responding appropriately to carbohydrates?
15:55 Does listening to music while exercising decrease level of testosterone in men and women?
16:48 I have been making a drink with matcha, flaxseeds, curcuma, amla, ginger, and soy milk. Is this good?
17:25 I love foods rich in spermidine for longevity but recall hearing that spermidine and spermine may be culprits for cellulite. Must we accept cellulite to gain spermidine's longevity benefits?
19:10 Can you comment on nitric oxide? Do you agree that the way to maximize intake is to eat leafy greens 6x per day?
20:15 Can you talk about microscopic colitis and how to stay on a plant-based diet if you've been diagnosed?
20:51 An article in a health magazine that says that grains, legumes, potatoes, nuts and seeds cause inflammation of the gut and permeability. Is it true that these foods cause inflammation of the gut?
21:32 Many doctors recommend some animal protein in the diet. Part of their reasoning is that the fiber in plant foods interferes with the digestion or absorption of plant-based protein. Are they right?
22:29 I've been making the delicious Okinawan Smoothie from How Not to Age on repeat! Are there any updates on the How Not to Age Cookbook or recipe sneak peeks?
23:24 Do used coffee grounds have any health benefits for humans?
