1. Hi Dr Bob, please help. I have an 8 yr old son who has dreams almost all night which cause him to talk, sit up constantly and walk around, even through night. We can talk to him while in these dreams and just denies he’s even having a dream. He can be crying and still will deny something is going on, but Dr Bob, he’s not getting any sleep and either am i because of this, has been going on for a long time, please help.

In my experience, he would need vitamin B12 if he is having vivid dreams, and vitamin B6 if he cannot recall dreams.

2. Is there a difference between non-organic and organic coffee?

Personally, I only drink organic, because the chemicals from non-organic can have a negative effect on my body.

3. What are your thoughts about coconut and date sugar instead of white sugar?

I try to avoid any type of sweetener, and definitely stay away from agave.

4. Someone told me that chewing gum messes with your digestion, is this true?

Personally I would stay away from chewing gum.

5. What are some optimal exercises I can incorporate into my daily regime?

I personally ride a bike, and muscle training.

6. What are the best foods to eat before and after exercising?

I use my SWAP bag, and not pasta, ‘juice’, and/or animal protein.
