How To Reduce The Risk From Swimming in Chlorinated Pools and Drinking Chlorinated Water. | I personally swim 3-4 times per week.The pool I swim in is chlorinated. I also shower every day, in water that has been chlorinated by the city of Spokane, where I live. How about you? How much chlorine are you exposed to? If you're a swimmer or triathlete, then it's probably quite a bit. If not, you're still getting significant chlorination from simply showering or bathing in your city's water. Today, I speak with a naturopathic physician and nutritionist, Dr. David Getoff, about how to reduce the risk from swimming in chlorinated pools and drinking chlorinated water. I learned quite a bit during our discussion, and I think you will too. During this audio interview, I ask David the following questions: Why does chlorine get added to pools? What type of potentially dangerous things might be happening to the body of someone who is swimming multiple times per week in the average chlorinated health club pool? Is there anything that can be done before, during or after swimming to reduce the damage, including nutrition supplements, foods or other strategies? Should swimmers use chlorine removing soaps, shampoos and conditioners, and if not, are there better, more natural solutions? Are there any types of nutrient, vitamin, mineral or hormone tests that a swimmer specifically should consider getting to see how chlorine may be affecting their body, or how able their body is to withstand damage from swimming in chlorine? Aside from a river or lake, are there alternatives to chlorinated pools, and if so, are they easy to find? When a swimmer is at home, what type of changes can they make to ensure that the water they're showering in and drinking is as healthy as possible? In our discussion, Dr. Getoff recommends you also listen to the following: -Vitamin C Lecture Part 1 -Vitamin C Lecture Part 2 In addition to Vitamin C, David also recommends the following supplements: -Vitamin D (this is the one I recommend) -Vitamin E (he recommends Unique E) -Alpha lipoic acid (the source I use is NutraRev) For testing your antioxidant levels, David recommends: -Metametrix ION Panel at DirectLabs For alternatives to chlorinated pools, David recommends: -Absolute Ozone -Grander Water filtration At the end of our discussion, David also mention the Price-Pottenger Foundation, and a new education series he is putting out on that website very soon. I'd highly recommend you check that out as well. Question, comments or feedback about how to reduce the risk from swimming in chlorinated pools? Leave them below! P.S. My Dad wrote me after hearing this podcast. He mentioned that my great Uncle Bernie placed a structured water unit into the skimmer of his indoor pool, and within a week he went from using four chlorine pucks to one puck, his pump pressure was reduced by more than half, the slime on his tile disappeared, yellow staining on his steps disappeared and on and on and on. E-mail my Dad, Gary Greenfield, if you want more info on the unit he used in his home pool. | 25 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Audio Question from Chris: We frequently hear about fellow athletes having these profound medical events where they "crash" and it is determined they have a 80-90 percent blockage in an artery! I personally know of two fellow runners who have had this occurrence. Fortunately both survived after open heart surgery. I am amazed that we continually hear about active, well trained athletes who experience near death occurrences in spite of being active. Makes me wonder about all the efforts of preventative healthcare. I understand much of this can be hereditary but am surprised when a well performing athlete crashes with no previous indicators. I am sure that Listeners would be interested if there are test available to screen for life threatening blockages since it appears that it can strike athletes who are training and performing and show no signs in advance. Would a stress treadmill test be an indicator test? ~ In my response to Chris, I mention the HeartMath emWave2. I also mention this article. And (of course) the New England Journal of Medicine's Cardiac Arrest during Long-Distance Running Races.

How You Can Use Sound And Music To Change Your Brain Waves With Laser Accuracy And Achieve Huge Focus And Performance Gains. | Most of us know that workout songs and music can help you to exercise harder. But if you understand how sound and music actually change your brain waves, you can use this knowledge to alter your mental and physical performance states with laser accuracy. It sounds geeky, but I'm going to explain how... At first glance, brain waves seem a bit like "woo-woo" science, and it can be a bit intimidating and confusing to understand how they work. But here's the basics, which will really help you when you're listening to today's interview with Dr. Jeffrey Thompson about how sound affects your brain. Your brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, and your neurons (just like the rest of your body) use electricity to communicate with each other. As you can probably imagine, these millions of neurons sending signals all at once produces an enormous amount of electrical activity in your brain, and this can actually be detected using medical equipment like an electroencephalography (EEG), which measuring electricity levels over areas of your scalp. When you graph the electrical activity of your brain using EEG, you generate what is called a brainwave pattern, which is called a "wave" pattern because of its cyclic, wave-like nature. And the brainwave patterns are generally categorized like this: Most of us live the majority of our lives in a state of primarily beta brain waves - aroused, alert, concentrated, but also somewhat stressed. When we lower the brain wave frequency to alpha, we can put ourselves in an ideal condition to learn new information, perform more elaborate tasks, learn languages, analyze complex situations and even be in what sports psychologists call "The Zone", which is a state of improved focus and performance in athletic competitions or exercise. Part of this is because being the slightly decreased electrical activity in the brain can lead to significant increases in feel-good brain chemicals like endorphins, noroepinephrine and dopamine. So, for example, when you meditate, you are focusing on something, whether it's a candle flame or your breath going in or out, or a mantra or a prayer. When you focus like that, the electrical patterns in your brain slow down and relax, and the amplitude of your brain-waves generally stabilizes in the alpha wave range. But it turns out that you don't need to be a trained monk or meditate for weeks on end to be able to achieve this state of alpha brain wave relaxation. Instead, you can use a concept called "brainwave entrainment" to get the same effect. Brainwave entrainment is any method that causes your brainwave frequencies to fall into step with a specific frequency. It's based on the concept that the human brain has a tendency to change its dominant EEG frequency towards the frequency of a dominant external stimulus (such as music, or sound). The type of sound frequencies that are typically used in brainwave entrainment are called "binaural" beats. The way that these work is that two tones close in frequency generate a beat frequency at the difference of the frequencies. I know this sounds complicated, but it's pretty simple to understand when you think about it. For example, a 495 Hz audio tone and 505 Hz audio tone (whether overlaid in music or in a sound frequency) will produce a 10 Hz beat, roughly in the middle of the alpha brain wave range, like this: OK, so now we get to the cool, practical application of using sound and music to enhance your brain and change your brain wave frequences. I hunted down an expert, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, from NeuroAcoustic.com, which produces and educates on using sound for stress reduction, relaxation, sleep enhancement, mega-learning, creativity, peak performance, meditation and higher states of consciousness. In this interview with Dr. Thompson, we discuss: -How sounds and frequencies affect human physiology... | 5 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Robert says: G'day Ben I have a question for the podcast. I wanted to know what your thoughts are on the Recovery Pump compression boots, also its competitor NormaTec also as a comparison. Their claims seem to be supported and they do what they claim to do from the literature I have read. Have you tried them? What would the effect of the recovery pump be when treating peroneal synovitis? Or other tendinopathies? Would you recommend this as a recovery modality with other traditional methods such as ice baths, NSAID's etc. Kathryn asks: I've read about recent research that found that swishing a mouthful of carbohydrate solution and then spitting it out rather than swallowing was effective in providing energy for a workout. Would this be an effective way to train in a fasted state occasionally, as Ben recommends, without the negative effects of inadequate fueling? I'm someone that doesn't tend to do well without food before my am workouts, even easy recovery type activity but I would like to try some fasted workouts occasionally. Rob asks: How many calories are you really burning when it is 10 degrees out.

How To Get Rid of Migraine Headaches Forever. | Migraine headaches are different than other headaches. They're tough to get rid of, but very closely related to your nervous system activity, and specifically your autonomic nervous system response to foods and stress. Today, you'll learn how to use these concepts to get rid of migraine headaches forever. This morning, my wife posted this to Facebook: She's been struggling with occasional migraines for the past several years, but this month, I've witnessed her completely eliminate migraines and "stop them in their tracks" by fixing her body's pH levels - in other words, making her body less acidic. So how can something like drinking green smoothies eliminate migraines? In Podcast #191, I explained that migraine headaches can be multi-factorial - ...sometimes migraines can be caused by consumption of foods containing tyramine and histamine (such as cheeses, sauerkraut, kefir, alcohol and vinegar)... ...sometimes migraines can be caused by consumption of foods containing arginine (like nuts and chocolate)... ...but many times migraines can be caused by foods that leave a net acid load when they are metabolized by the body (such as the type of foods I talk about in today's podcast interview with Dr. Ted Morter), and this turned out to be the case with my wife. In today's audio, I talk with Dr. Morter about how your body's acidity levels affect your health, mental and physical performance, and how doing something as simple as consuming a high amount of alkaline producing foods (such as the dark, leafy greens found in green smoothies), can reduce net acid load on the body and cause the autonomic nervous system to shut down the stress response that causes health problems like migraines. Dr. Ted Morter is a trainer, author, researcher, Doctor of Chiropractic, and CEO of Morter HealthSystem and a founder of Dynamic Life Training seminars of North America, one of the fastest growing personal and professional development companies teaching health and wellness techniques for well over 40 years. In my discussion with Dr. Morter, I ask him: How is it that certain foods can affect the body's pH? You say that the body is "alkaline by design and acid by function". What does this mean? Can more than food affect the acid in our bodies? What are examples of acid producing foods? What about alkaline producing foods? If the body is exposed to a high amount of acid producing foods, does it have built in mechanisms to protect itself, and if so, how do those work? What is the alkaline reserve, and why is it important? How does this tie into the autonomic nervous system, and the "fight and flight" vs. "rest and digest" systems? How is it that people can actually track their pH? What do people need to do to get well and stay well? You can find Dr. Morter's "BEST Living Kit" by clicking here. It includes a book, with 9 CD's that tell you what to do to fix your body's pH and your autonomic nervous system response to stress. My wife has been using this program to test her pH, adjust her pH using food and supplements, and get rid of her migraine headaches with this formula. Questions, comments or feedback?

Audio Question from Brandon: How does a ketogenic diet relate to or work with the metabolic typing diet? ~ In my response to Brandon, I mention episode #187. Audio Question from Joe: Smoker for almost 10 years who quit cold turkey 2 years ago. Is an age grouper in great shape. The only issue is when he's stressed or has a good "buzz-on" he wants a cigarette. Are e-cigarettes a viable option to have in a pinch? ~ In my response to Joseph, I mention Dietary Supplements That Can Massively Control Your Most Intense Carb Cravings. Dave asks: There is a lot of old health trends being busted in the last 10 years, can you bust this one? Is ground turkey really more healthier than ground beef? I need to know... beef is sure more tastier! Keith asks: I know you like kombucha. What do you think about Mugi cha (barley tea)? It was in every kids thermos all summer long. Actually everyone drinks it from housewives to office workers. Ice baths after exercise are all I hear about these days on podcasts and in magazines but here in Japan almost every house has a high tech bathtub and 40 deg C plus soaks are a nightly family ritual (my wife prefers 40 but her dad likes 42, I can only stand 39). Is a hot bath after a normal exercise session for an uninjured runner a no no? | 25 4 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Can Body Language Be Used To Enhance Your Performance? | When I was in college, one of my roommates was totally geeked out on body language. He had shelves full of books about how to get what you want with your body language, including how to tell if people are lying based on their body language, how to sell with your body language, and how to get girls with your body language. I remember being both fascinated and frustrated by his uncanny ability to know instantly if there was any shred of untruth in anything I told him, and also his ability to know exactly what I was thinking nearly 100% of the time. Sometimes, he'd even have me tell him a story that I may or may not have contrived, and he instantly would know whether I was lying or telling the truth. But is it really true that body language is that powerful, and, if so, could it be used to enhance human performance? In other words... Can body language be used to "get what you want"? Can your body language directly affect your health or fitness? Are there things that you can do during a workout or event (like a marathon) with your body language to perform better? Can body language help you to eat better or fix your diet? I ask all these questions and more to Kirk Duncan in today's interview, and I also include a fantastic infographic: "How To Use Body Language To Be More Attractive". Kirk Duncan (pictured right), president of 3 Key Elements, is a trainer, mentor and body language master. I met Kirk in Utah a couple months ago, and went to one of his body language seminars. It was pretty powerful stuff. Kirk's job is to help people find the obstacles that they face and show them how to get through them. He has taken the tools he’s discovered through many years of observing people’s body language and developed a system for training and teaching others in such a way that they experience breakthroughs quickly and permanently. Today, in this audio interview, Kirk teaches you the Art Of Looking Good With Your Body Language. Also, be sure to check out the graphic below about using body language to be more attractive.

She eats good/healthy food after the event but wants to know how much more she might need or not need to consume. ~ Resources I mention to Megan: Enerprime, Capragreens or SuperGreens, Tian Chi for adaptogenic herbs, Energy28 for Maca, Caprazymes and Caprobiotics, and Betaine HCL. Audio Question from Josh: Can seasonal allergies cause his heart rate to get really really low? In April and May he can't get into Zone 4 or 5 while riding. His standing rate is 40 or 50 BPM! Christian says: My wife and I ran a 1/2 marathon today. She appears to have a significant histamine reaction causing vasodilatation every time she runs significant distances. Her arms and legs turn purplish red and she feels her blood pressure drops. She dumps cold water on her arms each aid station and that helps some. The problem is worse when it is hot outside. Her hydration and nutrition are good. Her liquid nutrition has electrolytes and she adds a salt tablet to her water bottle. I recall your podcast interview about not needing electrolytes but adding salt seems to help her. | 18 4 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Is It Possible To Be Extremely Active and Eat A Low Carbohydrate Diet? | In today's interview, I speak with a surgeon, engineer and relentless self-experimenter, Dr. Peter Attia (pictured above as he swims across the Catalina Channel), about whether it is possibly to be extremely active and eat a low carbohydrate diet. If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to keep yourself in a "ketogenic", low carbohydrate state and still swim, bike, run, lift and do other extreme sports and activities, then this audio will answer all your questions. Let's begin with a video of a workout being done by Dr. Attia, who I interview in today's podcast: And he does all that while eating only 30-50 grams of carbohydrates per day! Dr. Attia (pictured right) of Canada is a relentless self-experimenter who has spent the last two years examining the role of nutrition on all aspects of personal performance. He is a former McKinsey & Company consultant, surgeon, engineer, calculus teacher and an author of numerous medical and research papers. Dr. Attia received his medical degree from Stanford University and holds a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, where he also taught and helped revamp the calculus curriculum. He did his surgical training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He also did a fellowship in surgical oncology at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. Dr. Attia's website, which we discuss during the interview, is WarOnInsulin.com. Here are the questions that I ask him: You have an interesting story. How did you come to start your website, WarOnInsulin.com, and what is it that you are trying to achieve? You appear to keep yourself very fit. Walk us through a typical week of exercise for you. For any given day, especially on these exercise days, about how many carbohydrates do you eat, and what does your eating look like? How about before and during a long workout, like a long bike ride. What do you eat? What is the science behind how your body is able to accomplish so much exercise with so few carbohydrates? What research is out there that has been conducted on people exercising very long, very hard or both while eating low or no carbohydrates, and what has been observed in the research? Is there a "maximum" amount of carbohydrates that would be considered healthy for frequently exercising individuals, such as enough carbohydrate to keep liver glycogen stores full? Was this style of eating an easy transition for you, and how can people expect to feel if they try to combine high volume or high intensity exercise with carbohydrate restriction? Have you found a "ceiling" for how long or how hard you can go while in a carbohydrate restricted phase? Do you feel or have you observed a need to include carbohydrate re-feeding periods, whether specific days of the week, periods of the exercise year, or seasons in which you may eat more fruit or more carbohydrates than usual? Have you found that particular dietary supplements or strategies help active individuals to succeed with or adhere to a low carbohydrate diet? Some studies have shown low insulin and a low carb diet to reduce thyroid function or cause leptin resistance. Is that true, and if so, is it an issue? Recommended reading as an additional resource: -Art & Science of Low Carbohydrate Living -Low Carbohydrate Diet For Triathletes Recommended supplements for long workouts: -UCAN Superstarch - use plain flavor only (avoids the sucralose), 80-100 calories per hour -MCT Oil - use 30-50ml 30-60 minutes prior to workout Other resources: -Blood glucose monitoring system -Ketone strips Questions, comments or feedback?

Why Does A Guy Like Lance Armstrong Have Gastrointestinal Issues During A Triathlon? | Last week, at Ironman 70.3 Galveston, Lance Armstrong decimated the field on the bike, but then slipped to a disappointing seventh place finish due to hydration and nutrition problems during the run. So why does a guy like Lance Armstrong have gastrointestinal issues during a triathlon? And what should you be eating during a triathlon? In today's interview with Dr. Stacy Sims, you'll find out what to eat during a triathlon, and also learn fascinating new information about fueling that is going to change many of the recommendations that I personally make, and the way that I eat and drink during Ironman. Dr. Stacy Sims is an Innovative Exercise Physiologist, and a Nutrition Scientist of Thermoregulation, Hydration, and Performance Nutrition, and also involved with "Kai Nutrition". She is an accomplished athlete in her own right, having ridden as an elite women's cyclist, won multiple Xterra events, and even raced as a pro triathlete. Her cutting edge research with athletes has led her to work with the likes of Garmin, RadioShack and Lance Armstrong where she has helped athletes of all abilities find the extra edge through science. During my discussion with Stacy, I ask her: How common are GI problems among runners and endurance athletes, in terms of rough percentages of athletes who have some kind of GI distress during a race? What is going on physiologically during intense exercise or dehydration that can cause gut issues? Can use of any supplements or medications aggravate this issue even more? Does exercise, and specifically a form of exercise like running, cause changes in your gut muscles or the way your intestines work? Are these type of GI issues more prevalent in men or women, and if so, why? What are the most common mistakes athletes make in terms of race day meal planning, and are there specific compounds (lactose, fructose, etc.) that should be avoided? What do you think is the best carbohydrate fuel during exercise, and why? Do you think there are any issues with gels and if so, are there better solutions, like blocs, chomps or jelly beans? What about sucralose and other artificial sweeteners? There are a variety of concentrated sport drinks on courses, such as Powerbar Performance, Gatorade, etc. Are these OK to drink? Do you think that endurance athletes should be using electrolytes, or would you agree more with the philosophy of Tim Noakes that the body does a pretty good job maintaining plasma sodium levels? If we do use electrolytes, are certain forms better than others? Any final tips that can be using in a pinch to stop GI issues? So what were some of my biggest takeaways and changes that I will personally make in Half and Full Ironman triathlons, based on this discussion? 1) During races, begin using green tea extract, delta-E, or 5 hour energy - rather than coffee or caffeine tablets. 2) During the run, switch a sucrose or glucose based solution, and avoid fructose/maltodextrin sources. I'm doing more research on this right now, because here are the current gel options on the market (notice that Clif uses “brown rice syrup” which is basically sucrose). 3) If I do use any Powerbar Perform or GU Brew drinks during an event, dissolve 3 parts water to 1 part solution. 4) Include 10-20g protein prior to races, or better yet, use a pre-digested aminos source such as MAP capsules 5) Avoid any electrolyte capsules or solutions that use chloride, and instead opt for carbonate, along with a trace minerals solution consumed during week of race and before race. 6) Keep Peppermint Tums on hand during run.

Interesting study & suggests if you're taking an iron supplement do NOT take it in a 6 hour window around any workout. Even if you're exercising for 5 hours per week, a seated desk job still raises your risk of death. So stand more. It turns out those little unstable air pillows that you can stand on at the gym actually could be *bad* for performance. ----------------------------------------------------- Special Announcements: May 11 & 12, 9am to 5pm - Ben Greenfield is presenting the "Become Superhuman" workshop in Dubai.

Garret Webber-Gale's nutritionist says carbs instead of protein or it will all turn to fat... is that true? Audio Question from Patrick: Wondering about heat susceptibility. If he can't take an icebath, he gets crazy headaches 24 hours after a hot/hard workout. ~ In my response to Patrick, I recommend CapraColostrum. Audio Question from Mike: Wants your opinion of the "Longevity" and "Six for Men" supplements. Audio Question from Jared: Wants some recommendations for videos he can watch to help his swimming technique as he prepares for a triathlon. ~ In my response to Jared, I recommend Swim Smooth, and especially the DVD's. Bob asks: If I train myself to be ketogenic, is that purely for health and fat burning? What about racing? Do I still eat the gels, etc. before/during a race? Or is that counter-productive? Stephanie asks: I need some advice on how to manage my tendonitis in my foot once and for all. In fall 2010, I completed my first marathon. During the end of my training, I started to develop pain on the inside of my left foot. I pushed my way through the race but was left limping for a week. The pain subsided enough to allow me to start running in April 2011. However, by August, I had to cease running due to extreme pain on the outside of my foot. An MRI determined that I had tendinitis and I spent 3 months in Physical Therapy. My foot has gotten better but it is still not 100%.

I have a couple questions regarding nightshade food. 1) What exactly are the reasons they should be avoided? 2) How do I know if they are having a negative effect on me? 3) Should they be avoided if there is no noticeable effect? ~ In my response, I recommend the book: Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms When My Lab Tests Are Normal?

Carob is a great alternative to chocolate. Compared to chocolate it has higher calcium count (three times as much), no caffeine content, nor fat, and presents your taste buds with a different experience. It's also high in Iron, Vitamin B, Phosphorus, Magnesium, fiber and protein. Top injury sites for the long distance triathletes includes lower back (17.9%), Achilles tendons (14.3%), and knees (14.2%). Among the short to intermediate distance triathletes, most injuries occurred in the knees (44%), calf (20%), hamstrings (20%), and lower back (20%). A group of healthy, active individuals were instructed to cut back on their activity for 3 consecutive days. What they found was that their blood sugar levels spiked 26% more than it normally would have, and that the spikes increased slightly over each successive day. ----------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Audio Question from Jennifer: Is liposuction an option or a last resort?

Andrei asks: I keep hearing about how after an workout you have to eat to replenish the glycogen storage. Also, during a long training run or a race, you have to ingest carbs to top your glycogen storage. My question is if you can do this with fat or protein, not carbs. | 14 3 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Food Politics: How The Food Industry Influences Your Nutrition & Health | The purpose of food companies is to increase sales and profits. And often, that goal does not coincide with sustainable food production and or helping you make better food choices so that you can live a longer and healthier life.

Eat 20g of protein before bed. ----------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Audio Question from Martin: Asking about Cortisol levels. ~ In my response I recommend MAP for amino acids. At www.pacificfit.net, I recommend - Recoverease, Solar Synergy, TianChi. Anonymous wrote: My husband is a marathoner, and is training for his first full Ironman. I am supportive and interested in his athletic exploits as a shorter distance runner and a group exercise instructor myself. However, his training starts to take a toll when his athletic exploits start to interfere with our sexual exploits. During marathon training his sex drive takes a significant dip. During Ironman training it has been even more noticeable. I have read that endurance training can actually inhibit testosterone production. Is there a natural dietary way to boost testosterone while training? If not, is there a way he should alter his training and/or diet once he completes this event to "reset" his natural sex drive? He hasn't had his testosterone tested, he doesn't have ED, he's not totally exhausted from training, and our relationship is otherwise healthy and happy. We are in our mid twenties. ~ In my response, I reference this free video/pdf I produced, and www.Tri-Ripped.com. Also OptiMale and Vitrix (tribulus). Scott asks: How and why should I jump rope? What are the benefits and what's the best workout routine? What kind of rope should I use? How many calories are typically burned? I'm looking for an overview of rope work. Kate says: I am going to be entering a mountain bike race this spring in Sandpoint, Idaho. I have about 3 months to get fully prepared. | 7 3 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

And Brenden asks: I love beer, yet clearly understand how bad it is for my athletic performance and sleep cycles.

I guess my question is, will I lose workout and fitness gain by drinking 12oz everyday? You get the picture. What type of rules do you have for yourself?

Kyle asks: This is a totally serious question, I saw this mentioned in a discussion about over training.

Ian says: How effective are Curves Women's gyms from both a weight loss and fitness point of view? My wife's main goal is weight loss at the moment so she wants to know if she'd be better off hitting a gym with a pool, treadmill, bike, classes, etc and losing her Curves membership.

A Little Known Vitamin That Could Save Your Life. | One of the most insightful and informative books that I read this month was "Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox". It was written by Kate Rhéaume-Bleue, N.D. (pictured below) , a naturopathic physician and Canadian expert in natural medicine. Vitamin K2 was actually something I mentioned in "12 Mental Performance Hacks: A Cheat Sheet For Boosting Your Brain Power". I was so impressed by this vitamin's ability to do everything from improve bone density to reverse heart disease to cut off blood flow to cancerous tumors to increase VO2 max in athletes that I got Dr. Kate onto a call to talk about. During this audio interview, you'll find out: What is vitamin K2 and what does it do? Is it common for people to be deficient in Vitamin K2? How does Vitamin K2 interact with Vitamin D? How does Vitamin A sit into this scenario? Is supplementation necessary, or can you get enough K2 from food? If someone wants to buy a K2 supplement, what should they look for? Could athletes benefit from supplementing or choosing K2-rich foods and if so, how? I would highly recommend that if you want to find out more about Vitamin K2 that you read Dr. Kate's book: "Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox". It will tell you everything that you need to know about how to implement this very important vitamin into your diet or supplementation protocol, and multiple reasons to do so. | 10 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Ben is now logging his daily diet & exercise sessions at - The Inner Circle <-- get in now for a buck! ----------------------------------------------------- News Flashes: I'm becoming more and more convinced that late night carbs aren't an issue IF you're controlling calories during the day. Good proof that you should get massages (or use a foam roller). Ride a bike hard for 45 minutes and you bump up your metabolic rate for 14 hours. If you're working out in fasted state, taking amino acids before can vastly improve results. (This is Ben's recommendation for Branched Chain Amino Acids: Recoverease and for Whole Amino Acids: MAP Master Amino Pattern) ----------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Audio Question from Stewart: Wondering why he can't get his heart rate to go high and if that is a problem. Audio Question from Pete: Wondering about dips and what the purpose of holding a position is. Dan asks: You recently mentioned that you tried and enjoyed Vibram's KSO Trek. I have been a fan of the Fivefinger lineup for a few years now and have done two off-road Tri's in my Treksports, as well as a trail 1/2 marathon in my KSO Trek's. I was wondering where you would draw the line in regards to usage and distance. Would you not recommend VFF's (Vibram FiveFinger's) or other minimalistic "foot-gloves" full time? Do you think mixing up VFF's with your typical "sneaker" is a good idea for training? I have learned that form is very important, but anytime I put a normal sneaker on now I feel like I am running on marshmallows and I am setting myself up for injury. ~ Here are the KSO Trek's I'm using right now. Brandon asks: What are your thoughts on calorie banking/cycling for a bulking regime? Is "banking" something to do in the future on rest days? What would happen if I took a few days (like 1 weekend) to "bank" calories without exercise? Will a metabolism slow down quickly enough to turn those calories into fat without the stimulation from weights/HIIT on a daily basis? (Meaning I should keep extra calories to exercise days). Would you recommend calorie cycling for bulking like you recommend for weight loss plateaus? Kathy asks: I'm a 42-year old female, and I enjoy endurance training. I started cycling a few years ago, and then got into triathlons. I did a few Olympic length races, and even managed to win my age group! But I decided to skip triathlon training this year, as I'd like more time for other personal goals. | 8 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Is Your Corporate Wellness Program Making You Sick And Fat? | Do you work at or own a corporation? Do they have a corporate wellness program? If so, do you have any clue if it's run the correct way, or if it's just making you sick and fat?

But it's gotta be run the right way. Click here for a free white paper that shows you how and why to set up or take part in a corporate wellness program. For today's post and more information on corporate wellness, I have an audio interview with US Corporate Wellness coach Sabryna Little, I ask the following questions: -As some with "time in the trenches" what do you think is the biggest barrier or issue facing employees staying fit or well in the workplace? -What practical ways can somebody use to stay fit while sitting at their desk on a typical workday? -What kind of changes can a corporation make in a workplace to enable employees to stay more fit? -What kind of simple ways can corporations get or enable employees to eat healthier? -What would an ideal corporate wellness program look like? How about you? Are you an employee who works at a corporation, or currently involved in any type of corporate wellness? What would you like to see added or changed to your corporate wellness plan?
