My gym trainer is asking me to start whey protein. Do they have any side effects?

Hello doctor,

I am 29 year old male. I weigh 90 kg and my height is 5'12". I actually started going to gym 3 months back and my trainer is asking me to start whey protein. I just bought one. Now my queries are:

  • Are they safe to consume?
  • Do they have any side effects?
  • I do workout not very intensely but yes to a level, so will this affect while I start drinking protein?
  • What is the best way to consume it?
  • What if after few months or years I stop going to gym and stop consuming whey immediately will it create any issue in future?
  • How much necessary it is to consume whey than the natural food?

Please note that I am a pure vegetarian.

My mood changes from time to time. Is this schizophrenia?

Hi doctor,

I am getting tingling sensation in my head and my perception changes. Sometimes I feel fine but sometime depressed and anxious. This process goes on in a cycle and I feel very difficult to continue my life like this. I do not have any motivation and there is no sense of pleasure. I am always unsatisfied. Is it schizophrenia?

Why do things like ghee and oil worsen my lip swelling?

Hi doctor,

I am having swollen lips for the past 14 years. Everything I put on my lips will make my swelling worse, even coconut oil and ghee. Food is not even touching my lips directly still it makes them worse. Since I put in coconut oil six months, the swelling is getting more and more every day. How can stuff like organic coconut oil and ghee that are vata and pitta pacifying make my swelling worse? Is my body confused? What is the Ayurveda perspective on this? I have gone to an Ayurveda doctor and she has told me I have very high vata and vata is pushing pitta to my lips. I will go to Panchakarma in about six months. I just want to know why things like ghee and coconut oil are making my swelling worse. Thank you so much in advance.
