1. Should one use a tongue scraper after brushing one's teeth?
2. Does temperature of beverages matter? I've seen Ayur Veda people say one should only drink hot/warm beverages and I've seen other people swear by cold beverages, water specifically.
3. What (kind of) toilet paper is safe to use?
Forgive me for asking this many questions, I'll stop now for this AMA.

Hi Tan Man,
Hope your day is going well. Big fan of your work!
1. How do you fix Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)?
2. You give very good health advice but if you die, that is it (no more great advice :( Is there anyone else online that gives very good health advice like you?
3. Likewise, anyone online that gives good advice on escaping the 9-5?
Should one wear dry selvedge jeans? These aren't pre-washed and so it's dye will leak a bit more, especially during the first months of wear (and in the rain).
Hello. I'm blessed to live near a few organic Amish farms in Lancaster. But I've not been able to source nutrient dense, seed oil free scrapple. My kiddo loves scrapple, so it's a no-brainer for organ meats, but it seems like all of the scrapple producers around here feed their hogs garbage. Anyone have suggestions for a supplier? Thanks!
Hi, I apologize if this is too many questions or if you’ve addressed them previously! For some background, I was raised vegetarian and have been vegetarian for my entire life. I am about to turn 22 and have been considering eating meat for the first time because of listening to you on podcasts and reading your articles. It makes sense to me that I should be eating what my ancestors ate, which certainly included meat (I am of northern European and German ancestry).
1. Because I’ve been vegetarian my whole life, I’ve eaten a lot of beans, lentils, and tofu. I’ve heard you say that we can eat anything as long as it’s real food, but would beans and lentils not count as being “real” foods? Or is it just that there are way better alternatives, like meat and animal products?
2. Do you have any opinions regarding weight/fat loss and the best way to go about losing body fat?
3. Do you know anything about diet-related causes of eczema?
4. Do you have any recommendations for non-toxic cleaning products? I know a lot of people use white vinegar and baking soda, just curious if you use anything specific.
5. Everyone says that I should be eating whole grains, but are they actually important to eat? Can I go without eating them?
Thank you so much! I am really scared by the idea of eating meat (it's given me a bit of an identity crisis because I NEVER thought I would consider eating it), but I just want to be as happy and healthy as possible :) Also if you have any resources about what the traditional German/Northern European diet consisted of I would love to have them!
I second wanting to hear about cleaning products! Do you exclusively use traditional ingredients like lemons and vinegar? Do you use any brand of wipes/cleaning spray?
And speaking of MASA, where exactly do you get the corn and the tallow, and how did you find those sources?
What are some good cleaning products like dish soap,dishwashing detergent,laundry detergent,etc?
I've got some more, if you don't mind:

I have one more:

Appreciate you sir. I have a few questions:
1. Should one consume a beverage (like water, milk, OJ, red wine, etc.) during meals?
2. Should one only/mostly eat locally produced food? For me this would mean no coffee, chocolate, avocado, coconut and more.
3. How to fix stinky armpits?
