Lp(a) testing
After listening (3 X) to your podcast with Benoit Arsenault, I would like to have my Dr. order an Lp(a) test for me. I live in Canada and Benoit has said that this test is now recommended in the "Canadian Medical Guidelines", once in a patients lifetime. How do I access these guidelines to show my Dr. that it is recommended in the guidelines as they currently are unaware of the necessity of testing for LP(a)
Kava Kava
Doc I recently stumbled upon a barrage of ads for Feel Free (kava drink) and the benefits. I was curious and skeptical about it.....so I tried it. To my surprise...it was a unique feeling of relaxation for me and I noticed an increase in Deep and REM sleep. I took the drink in the evenings after dinner and felt pretty amazing. In researching this product, I noticed an old post of you and Ben Greenfield enjoying some kava but couldn't find much content. Thoughts on Kava Kava? Thoughts on regular use? I've used it twice, at this point. Will the enjoyment I'm feeling diminish with repeated use? Any risks that you have concerns with? I know kava kava may be relatively old news for some but relatively new to me and was intrigued by the way it relaxed me and improved my sleep. The info online seems relatively vague and also a bit misleading on both ends of the spectrum. Thanks much, jj
