Alright folks - I usually don't get this excited about a discovery, but when we're talking about a substance that is all-natural, amazingly simple to find, and incredibly diverse, it is well worth the buzz.

In this February 10, 2009 podcast, I interview a farmer in Palouse, Idaho.

And what he reveals to me is going to blow your mind. Let's just call it "Product X" for now. Before I tell you more about Product X, I want to remind you about three important studies that are highly relevant to fat loss, and that are going to help you understand why your body is probably more messed up that you think it is. These are studies that your physician, personal trainer, and nutritionist are probably not going to tell you about.

This is NOT run-of-the-mill fat loss advice. Here's the first study (and remember, you should read this part because it ties in very closely with Product X):

1) "Antibodies Against Food Antigens are Correlated with Inflammation and Intima Media Thickness in Obese Juveniles"

What the HECK does that mean?

This study looked at kids, half of whom were normal weight and half of whom were overweight (i.e. "obese juveniles").

The researchers measured the children's levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker for inflammation in the body.

Then they used an ultrasound to look for plaque or thickening in the carotid arteries (the main arteries that supply the brain).

Finally, they looked at blood tests for IgG, which show food allergies.

Guess what?

The overweight kids had 3 times higher CRP levels and 2.5 times higher IgG antibodies food allergy levels, and these values are almost 10 times higher than what other studies have found up to this point!

The overweight kids also had much thicker carotid arteries - a huge risk for heart disease.

How did this happen? When the gut is damaged by consumption of foods to which you are allergic, it becomes leaky, and these allergic food particles put your immune system on hyper-alert.

Your hyped-up immune system then triggers an inflammatory response. And guess what happens next? Your cells become insensitive to insulin. This leads to insulin resistance. And insulin resistance leads to belly fat.

So while you're busy counting calories and making sure that you drink the "skinny latte", I've got NEWS. It is WAY more important that your body is not allergy to those milk proteins then that you are drinking low calorie.

And this is why I am now recommending that every one of my nutrition and exercise clients get food allergy testing. Especially the ones that are having trouble losing weight. But why take my word that a leaky gut causes inflammation? Here's another study:

2) "Metabolic endotoxemia initiates obesity and insulin resistance."

This study looked at what causes a leaky gut.

In this study, researchers fed thin mice a very high-fat diet.

Why a high-fat diet? Because high-fat diets (and we're not talking about good fats like nuts and olives and avocadoes - we're talking about crackers, muffins, and margarine) promote toxin-producing bugs, and these bad bugs kill the good bugs.

Interestingly, sugars do the same thing.

Here's what the researchers discovered: the toxins produced in the mice triggered killed off the good bacteria in the stomach of the mice and produced inflammation and obesity.

So let's do a review of what we've learned so far: A) food allergies make you fat; B) sugar and bad fats produce inflammation, which also makes you fat.

BY THE WAY, "sugar" and "bad fats" include whole wheat muffins, pasta, wheat thin crackers, and organic ice cream. Here's the third and last study:

3) "The gut microbiota as an environmental factor that regulates fat storage."

I'm going to keep this one short and sweet. This study found that people with good bugs in their gut lose weight quickly, and those with bad bugs in their gut gain weight and pile on body fat. And if you want to really get into the details of why, you should listen to Podcast Episode #29 with the Fat Flush Doctor.

So now we know that gut inflammation, bad bugs, food allergies, toxins, fungus, and microbes can make you fat. Not to mention giving you chronic fatigue, bad sports performance, insomnia, repeated bouts of sickness, and a host of other problems.

But how on earth does all this tie into Product X? Consider the following powerful excerpts:

“(Washington, D.C.) Oil from the common herb Product X may be an effective treatment against dangerous, and sometimes drug-resistant bacteria, a Georgetown researcher has found. Two studies have shown that Product X Oil—and, in particular, Carvacrol, one of Product X's chemical components—appear to reduce infection as effectively as traditional antibiotics.…

Harry G. Preuss, MD, MACN, CNS, Professor of Physiology and Biophysics, and his research team, tested Product X Oil on Staphylococcus bacteria—which is responsible for a variety of severe infections and is becoming increasingly resistant to many antibiotics. They combined Product X Oil with the bacteria in a test tube, and compared Product X Oil's effects to those of standard antibiotics Streptomycin, Penicillin and Vancomycin. The Product X Oil at relatively low doses was found to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus bacteria in the test tubes as effectively as the standard antibiotics did.” Georgetown University Medical Center Press Release October 6, 2001

"Here’s a member of the mint family that’s simply loaded with antiseptic compounds. Product X is useful as a hot tea (inhale the vapors as you drink) or in a massage lotion. You can add a few drops of the Essential Oil to any skin lotion or to vegetable oil. (Page 391)" The Green Pharmacy By James A. Duke

“The Essential Oil of Product X is the most powerful plant-derived antiseptic known." William Harrison Martindale Publisher Of The Extra Pharmacopoeia British Pharmacology Reference Book

"Antibiotic resistance, the ability of germs to become impervious to modern antibiotic drugs, has been called one of the most challenging health threats of our modern era. Yet researchers report that Carvacrol, an ingredient found in Oil of Product X, kills off bacteria without causing antibiotic resistance." “Microbiology Letters” Federation Of European Microbiological Societies January 2004 "British researchers reported Product X Oil had antibacterial activity against 25 different bacteria." “Journal Of Applied Microbiology” Volume 88 February 2000 "What we found was that certain spices added to foods would be useful in preventing and even killing organisms like E. Coli that can cause disease," said Dr. F. Ann Draughon, a UT microbiologist who is co-director of the UT Food Safety Initiative.…The study found that Oil of Product X was the most effective at killing all the pathogens." “Tennessee Today” Current News From The University Of Tennessee June 14, 1999

"Researchers at the Department of Food Science at the University of Tennessee reported that, among various plant oils, Oil of Product X exhibited the greatest antibacterial action against common pathogenic germs such as Staph, E. coli and Listeria." “Journal Of Food Protection” Volume 64 July 2001

"Because the essential oils are so sweet smelling, it might be easy to suppose that their value is essentially one of charm. That would be a mistake. The Essential Oil of Product X, for example, is twenty-six times more powerful as an antiseptic than Phenol, which is the active ingredient in many cleansing materials." (Page 8) The Complete Book Of Essential Oils And Aromatherapy by Valerie Ann Worwood "General (Effects): The Essential Oil, which contains carvacrol, is antimicrobial in vitro. (Page 609) Physicians’ Desk Reference For Herbal Medicines by Joerg Gruenwald (Editor)

"Wild Product X, which is quite different than the variety on most kitchen spice racks, has over 50 antibacterial compounds." “The London Times” May 8, 2001

"Researchers from the University of Thessaloniki in Greece discovered that Product X was highly bactericidal (it killed bacteria and sterilized septic water) at 1/4000 dilution." “Journal Of Agricultural Food Chemistry” American Chemical Society Volume 44-1996

“Egyptians valued Product X for its ability to disinfect wounds and speed the healing process…. After Aristotle observed that tortoises ate snakes and then ate Product X to avoid dying, he recommended it as an antidote for poisoning….

“Product X Oil is one of the strongest antiseptic and antiviral essential oils. It boosts immunity and is especially effective against allergies, Candidiasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fungal infections. It stimulates sluggish lymphatic circulation. During convalescence or in states of general weakness, the body can be strengthened and energized by Product X. Its antibacterial action makes Product X ideal for spraying in a sickroom to cleanse or sterilize it and to prevent the spread of infection.

“Respiratory ailments as asthma, bronchitis, colds, flu, sore throat, and even whooping cough respond well to Product X Oil’s ability to fight bacterial and viral infections, relieve congestion, loosen and release phlegm, and soothe coughs, while it eases aches and pains and reduces muscle spasms. Product X alleviates the pain and inflammation of joint and spinal problems such as arthritis, backache, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatism, and sciatica. It is often used in a pack or poultice to treat sprains, swelling, and stiffness.

“Product X is helpful for all digestive disorders, particularly those resulting from nervousness. It eases indigestion that results from eating too rapidly. It calms the stomach, can stimulate appetite, relieves diarrhea, and can even cure hiccups. Product X can soothe headaches, migraines, and nervous tension. Its antiseptic abilities help to fight infection of earaches. Some people report success in preventing or minimizing motion sickness by drinking Product X herb tea. Others recommend chewing fresh Product X leaves to provide temporary relief from painful toothache.

“The anti-inflammatory action of Product X Oil helps to heal wounds and skin infections, as well as to relieve skin disorders such as dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and seborrhea. Because it has strong antifungal and antiseptic properties, it can fight fungal infections of the skin such as athlete’s foot and jock itch. Massage diluted Product X Oil into the fingernails to fight fungal infections there. Applied topically, it helps reduce chronic skin infections. Product X is a powerful insect repellant; it may help to alleviate skin parasites, such as lice, because of its antiparasitic activity.

“Product X can often stimulate the flow of menstruation when used in a sitz bath or when massaged on the abdomen. It also relieves the pain of menstrual cramps and helps to overcome insomnia.” (Pages 103,104)" Aromatherapy PA By Roberta Wilson

“Medicinal Actions & Uses: Product X helps to settle flatulence and stimulates the flow of bile. Strongly antiseptic, may be taken to treat respiratory conditions such as coughs, tonsillitis, bronchitis and asthma. It is also considered to be a useful promote of menstruation. The diluted oil can be applied externally to toothache or painful joints.” (Page 240) Encyclopedia Of Medicinal Plants By Andrew Chevallier

“Anticancer Effects: Antimutagenic and anticarcenogenic properties have been attributed to rosmaric acid isolated from rosemary and Product X.” (Page 609) Physicians’ Desk Reference For Herbal Medicines by Joerg Gruenwald (Editor)

“Product X has seven…compounds that lower blood pressure….” (Page 256) The Green Pharmacy by James A. Duke “Mother Nature has provided us with a powerful antibiotic in Product X Oil. Unlike synthetic antibiotics that are powerless against viruses and funguses, Product X Oil is effective against these pathogens too.” Dr. Michelle Schoffro Cook “The Cochrane Times” June 8, 2005 “Wild Product X Oil: Powerful antifungal agent that has the ability to destroy even resistant forms of fungi.” (Page 393) Prescription For Herbal Healing by Phyllis A. Balch

“Oil of Product X is an excellent supplement. It's beneficial for viral conditions, bacterial and fungal problems and can be used both preventatively and during an infection to help clear up the problem.” Marni Ross Naturopathic Physician Toronto, Canada

“Constituents: Product X contains a volatile oil (comprising carvacrol, thymol, betabisabolene, Caryophyllene, linalool, and borneol), tannins, resin, sterols, and flavanoids. Both carvacrol and thymol are antibacterial and antifungal.” (Page 240) Encyclopedia Of Medicinal Plants By Andrew Chevallier

“A recent study compared the anti-Candida effect of Product X Oil to that of Caprylic Acid. The results indicated that Product X Oil is over 100 times more potent than Caprylic Acid against Candida.” “Journal Of Applied Nutrition” Volume 47 1995

“In a study by the National Institute of Pediatrics in Mexico, scientists found that Product X was effective at killing Giardia, a parasite that causes abdominal distress.” Dr. Michelle Schoffro Cook “The Cochrane Times” June 8, 2005

“A clinical study in Italy has shown that Oil of Product X can be used to treat intestinal parasites.” “Phytotherapy Research” Volume 14 May 2000

“Researchers Call Herbs Rich Source Of Healthy Antioxidants; Product X Ranks Highest” “Science Daily” January 8, 2002

“Studies are accumulating that the ‘pizza herb’, Product X, is a powerful antioxidant…. In a test of nearly 100 plants in the mint family, of which Product X is a member, the pizza herb was the one with the greatest antioxidant activity.” (Page 59) The Green Pharmacy by James A. Duke

“Antioxidant Effects: The Essential Oil of Product X has been demonstrated to be a potent antioxidant.” (Page 609) Physicians’ Desk Reference For Herbal Medicines by Joerg Gruenwald (Editor)

“Researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture have determined that herbs are higher in antioxidant levels than fruits, vegetables and even spices such as garlic…. Product X has 42 times more antioxidant activity than apples, 30 times more than potatoes, 12 times more than oranges and 4 times more than blueberries…. Product X had 3 to 30 times higher antioxidant activity than other herbs studied." “Journal Of Agricultural And Food Chemistry” American Chemical Society November 2001

“No significant adverse reactions have been associated with the use of Product X in culinary or medicinal concentrations. The FDA has placed Product X on its list of substances “Generally Recognized As Safe” (GRAS) for food consumption.” (Page 477) The American Pharmaceutical Association Practical Guide To Natural Medicines by Andrea Peirce

“No health hazards or side effects are known in conjunction with the proper administration of designated therapeutic dosages.” (Page 610) Physicians’ Desk Reference For Herbal Medicines by Joerg Gruenwald (Editor)

That's right. This stuff works wonders, and people have been observing it for hundreds of years.

In my own personal research, I've found that interestingly, in most commercial grocery stores and health food outlets, what you are getting is not the actual Product X, but rather, a fake knock-off imitation oil or compound that is a complete waste of money, and potentially harmful at higher dosages.

But just 2 weeks ago, I received a phone call from a fan of BenGreenfieldFitness.com, and given complete access to one of the most highly concentrated and certified sources of Product X, at a price so affordable that I literally thought I was being pranked.

It is a 7:1 mixture of Product X and almond oil, bottled in a 1 ounce medicine droplet bottle that lasts 1-2 months, depending on your frequency of use. The almond oil is a Virgin Sweet Almond Oil, which is more readily assimilated into the skin and less greasy that another other available carrier oil, including olive oil, which is the normal carrier oil for Product X.

You can put it on your skin to treat acne and eczema, place a few drops under your tongue to kill fungus, microbes, yeast and bad bacteria in your gut, and even mix a little into a spraybottle to mist in your house and on your kitchen counter to destroy microbes.

But how do you know you're getting the real deal?

#1: The actual Product X utilized in the brand new customized BenGreenfieldFitness.com mixture comes with a laboratory certificate of analysis, is 100% pure undiluted and unadulterated, and contains 75% Carvacrol, the primary indicator of quality and effectiveness. It is the Wild Mediterranean version, harvested in France and stream distilled in a blend that is stronger than other blends that are available on the retail market - at a fraction of the price.

#2: I guarantee that you will begin to notice results within just 2 weeks of implementing Product X as a topical treatment for skin problems, microbe killer in your home, or soldier against bad bugs in your gut. And your results will speak louder than any study or certificate of analysis!

What do you think?

Are you ready to save money on doctor hospital bills and useless fat loss treatments?

Are you ready to eliminate yeast, fungus and bad bacteria in your gut?

Are you ready introduce a completely natural, healthy, and highly effective microbe killer into your home or office?

Five days after this post, Product X was revealed to be Mediterranean Oil of Oregano, which is available by clicking here.

For example, this is an incredibly rich source of iron and calcium, and can even be used as a topical anti-inflammatory for muscle strains and sprains!

You can find it here: www.inneryu.com ----------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Katie says: I recently found your blog because I was researching information on Tim Ferris diet "4 Hour Body". My main interest is in his opinion on eating fruit. I saw that you mentioned it a few times in different articles (you said not to eat fruit in the mornings if you are trying to lose fat). I'm wondering what your entire take on fruit is? I feel like fruit could really be a food for me that's a tipping factor - meaning I eat it, eat too much of it, and it completely destroys my fat loss attempts. I would hate to completely cut it out, if that leads to a lack of nutrients that are impossible to gain from other foods. Tina Says: A year ago I joined a "learn to run clinic" and achieved the "10 minutes run with a 1 minute walk" but as the distance progressed I found my self getting injured om my foot and hip. I took time to rest and strengthen my IT band (as you had suggested in my previous question "Clicking in my hip"). So, I stopped running, and just did some cycling and strength training. Then, when I felt I was ready to run again (after about a month off running), I started from the beginning, 2s and 1s, and progressed to 7s and 1s, I did a 5k and that went well, but I hurt my foot hurt again. The day after the run there was a burning sensation under my foot. So, I took more time off, took an adult learn to swim class, continued with cycling, strength training, and elliptical. Now, it's been three weeks, the burning sensation isn't in my foot anymore and I would like to start running again, my question is... do I start right back at the beginning i.e.: 2 minutes running, 1 minute walk or can I start at a 5 minutes run,1 minutes walk, or can I continue on from the 7s and 1s where I left off at? ~ Tina's original question about hip clicking was responded to in Episode #164. Livingstone says: I have been cycling for approximately 2 years and have made some significant gains using a structured periodization based plan. I train a lot on the road for Cross Country MTB. I have recently taken up the challenge of jogging for a bit of cross training as well as a quick morning session to trim my body fat down a bit. The problem I have is that my quads keep cramping. Not like an explosive, violent calf cramp but more of a consistent tightening of the muscles which make up my upper front leg muscles. It get so sore that I actually have to stop jogging and then it actually gets even tighter. Aerobically I feel great and just want to break out into a fast jog but my legs say NO! Can the quads muscles on cyclists get short from cycling? What could be the cause of my problem and can you suggest a plan to fix it? Dylan wrote: Is the so-called "starvation" gene, or "thrifty" gene, a myth? I'd like to start this year getting into competitive bodybuilding, but since no matter what I try I seem to be stuck at around 15% body fat, I was thinking of going on a very low-calorie diet. But you sometimes hear about the "thrifty" gene kicking in on starvation diets, making fat loss even more difficult. Is there really such a thing? What is the fastest way to go from 15% body fat to 5%? Bill says: My sister-in-law is taking Cross Fit classes and doing their diet. They tell her not to eat beans because it irritates the digestive track. Do you have any thoughts on this? I have always thought that beans are very healthy. Deborah says: I'm confused about phytoestrogens. Should I be avoiding them, or seeking them out? I am a 44 year old woman with a history of fibroids and atypical ductal hyperplasia in both breasts, so I'm quite concerned about managing estrogen. I would appreciate your views. Jeffrey asks: I just want to know your thoughts on crank lengths for triathlon. Currently I ride 175mm and I'm considering dropping down to 172.5mm. What are the benefits of doing this? Should I do this? I think I'm overcooking my quads with the 175mm cranks. ~ In my response to Jeffrey, I reference this crank length calculator. Graeme says: Is periodization dead? With the traditional view being: - build a base, focussing on aerobic, long, slow, fat burning, - then focus on more interval, muscular endurance, - then a short pre race peak phase. With the evidence pointing to HIIT being applicable for building aerobic base and also building VO2 and raising LT, can you just train with variations to interval training all year? Would that work? Are hard anaerobic or LT intervals as good to build a base aerobic foundation? Susan says: Couple questions. I am a triathlete currently training for my second Half IM race in April. I got talked into doing the RAGNAR Relay (in Arizona) at the end of February with my husband's team. This will include running 3x over the course of 48 hours, anywhere from 4-8 miles each time. How do I work this into my training plan and how do I fuel so that I have enough energy for each of the runs. I try to follow a Paleo(ish) diet due to stomach issues with gluten, so the all you can eat bagels and Gatorade would be a recipe for disaster. Sleeping will be an issue, as some of the runs are in the middle of the night and we only stop to sleep (either in the van or at a hotel) for 3-4 hours. Any advise as how to maximize my recovery so I am not trashed for my following week of triathlon training, and able to put forth a good effort for the team? ~ In my response I mention the supplements: MAP 30 minutes before, gel with amino acids during, proteolytic enzymes like Recoverease after. Sam asks: What is your take on wheat grass and the other grasses plus other sprouted grains? It seemed Dr Davis was tearing it all down so I am curious on your take and if you talked with him more and know more on his take. ~ In my response to Sam, I mention these studies: Toxicity of Einkorn Gluten and Alternative Wheat Cereals as Food Grains: Einkorn, Emmer, Spelt, Kamut, and Triticale CHEEK asks: I AM 48, FEMALE AND TRYING TO TRAIN FOR A SPRINT TRIATHLON. I CANNOT FIND ANY BOOKS OR INFORMATION ON HOW TO START FROM SCRATCH. I CAN RUN 5K. I HAVE TRAINED IN THE PAST AND RAN 10K BUT I HAVE NO BIKING KNOWLEDGE AND I AM JUST NOW TAKING SWIMMING LESSONS BUT AM A LONG WAY FROM 750 M. DO YOU HAVE ANY BOOKS OR CAN YOU RECOMMEND ONE THAT COULD PUT ME ON THE RIGHT TRACK WITHOUT WASTING TIME DOING THINGS THE WRONG WAY. ~ In my response to Cheek, I direct her to www.rockstartriathlete.com Closing music from "Prime Candidate" by Brock Skywalker.

The more endurance training you do, the worse your resistance training results. Exercise helps you make bone cells instead of fat cells! Here’s a reason to get good sleep if you’re injured or after hard workout. If you’re used to eating breakfast, then not eating it can really mess up calorie consumption later in day. ----------------------------------------------------- Featured Topic: The Shocking Truth About Wheat In this featured topic, Ben interviews Dr. William Davis author of Wheat Belly. Dr. Davis is a preventive cardiologist whose unique approach to diet allows him to advocate reversal and prevention of heart disease, and was also a guest on a podcast episode #60, "Why Do Healthy People Have Heart Attacks". During the interview, you'll learn: - Why you're not eating the same kind of wheat your ancestors ate... - Whether wheat bread is really better than white bread... - If wheat is ever OK to eat and if so, when... - Good substitutes and alternatives for wheat... - ...and much more! ----------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Raminta asks: How does fibre help with losing fat? Is fibre that has been pureed equally effective as it is in its original form? For example - pureeing vegetables for soup as opposed to raw vegetables, or blending fruit into shakes? Christian says: What are your thoughts on doing cycling and running drills with ankle weights on? Will this speed up skill acquisition and neuromuscular development? Chuck says: Interesting discussion about the food pyramid of Dr. Weil (Episode #174). Maybe you could discuss what the Ben Greenfield food pyramid would look like? Also, have you seen the Bulletproof diet guidelines from the www.bulletproofexec.com and what are your thoughts on it? Eric asks: What is your opinion of l-arginine as a supplement? Googling around for information on NO and supplements that might help Nitric Oxide production, I quickly found l-arginine, and specifically "ProArgi~9+". They make some pretty bold (and yet vague) claims about helping everything from heart disease to endurance performance. What a coincidence - if I can get a boost in performance and help with any potential heart disease down the road - sounds like a no-brainer. Do you know of any studies that focused specifically on the effects of l-arginine on performance? Back when I was lifting a lot of weights, we often took amino acid tablets that contained l-arginine (and two or three others), is there any benefit to something like ProArgi-9, versus regular amino supplements? I did talk with my doctor on l-arginine - he did not feel that there was any significant risk, and since there were some potential benefits. It would be fine to give it a try. ~ In my response I mention Citruvol and Nitroceps from Millennium Sports. Ron Starrett says: My wife and I just got a juicer after watching the documentary "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead". My wife is mainly interested in the "Reboot" program the subjects in the movie are doing. As an ultrarunner (training for a 100 miler) and endurance athlete, I am curious how I can use this tool to increase my fitness nutrition. Any suggestions on certain juice recipes or combinations to try? Or about nutrient timing? Listener Tony B. asks: I have a question regarding shin pain: I run about 20-25 miles a week and when I run I feel fine, but afterwards my shins are very tender to the touch. I'm wondering what I can do to alleviate the pain. ~ In my response to Tony, I recommend www.marathondominator.com Samantha asks: I get Achilles tendonitis on and off, year-in year-out. How can I avoid it in future? What exercises can strengthen this area? I'm from the UK so a lot of the products/supplements you suggest are not available. Shane says: I just completed my first Ironman 70.3 and wanted to say thanks to you. All your great advice definitely helped me get through the race. My question is about how to prepare for the physical stress and fatigue of longer races. During my recent Ironman 70.3 I felt great until the second half of the run when the joints in my knees and feet started to hurt. I had plenty of gas left in the tank and my muscles felt fine, the only thing that held me back was the joint pain. How can I prepare my body to cope with this better? My training consisted of lots of high intensity interval work as well as a longer ride (60 miles) or run (6-8 miles) each week. ~ In my response to Shane, I mention Capraflex. Skip's question:I have heard some people suggest using "GasEx" (active ingredient is simethicone) for gas issues during an Ironman. Is this generally a good solution for people? My case is different than most so more details are necessary - My large intestine was surgically removed due to severe ulcerative colitis and a "pouch" was created with the end of my small intestine. My "plumbing" is connected like everyone else but my capacity to store waste and gas is severely limited. Also, due to my altered plumbing, I cannot just pass gas like everyone else because I'll lose more than just gas. Is simethicone a reasonable solution or do you have other suggestions? Does this chemical raise other issues or limit performance? Closing music from "The Devil Went Down East Hastings" by Brock Skywalker. Available on iTunes or at CD Baby.

Audio question from Mark: Booze + overheating = bad sleep. Audio question from McKay: Gaining muscle and losing fat, specifically using clenbuterol. ~ In my response to McKay, I mention Podcast #145 from BenGreenfieldFitness. A twofer about Protein from Dylan and Brad: Ben, How much protein should you ingest in one "sitting" for optimal uptake? (I know you've discussed protein intake quite a bit on the podcast, and I've tried to search through the posts on your website for an answer but so far haven't been able to run across it.) I've heard, like probably most people, that 30 grams is about all the body can process at one time, but my protein shakes are in the 50-60 gram range. I can't imagine that body just holds on to 30 and then pees out the other 30? But, if I am wasting money by drinking 60 gram shakes, I'd like to know! Dylan Hi Ben, After a recent visit to a sporting store to purchase protein powder, i was told by staff that i am a hard gainer and should consume a 70:30 ratio of carbs to protein. While this has allowed me to gain 4kg of weight in the last 2 weeks, i am unsure of whether this is the best option for a hard gainer to get muscle fast. My ultimate goal is to have a big chest, arms and abs. Could you please advise me on a good nutrition plan and gym routine for the standard hard gainer. Many thanks Brad G Question about cramping from Charles: Hey Ben & Brockstrap! I have a history of cramping in various types of races and distances (off-road triathlon, trail running, century ride, marathon), almost always my hamstrings. I usually drink roughly 500 ml of nuun/hr during my events as well as my nutrition (hammer gel or perpetuam usually). I carry endurolytes as a back up. I don't cramp in every instance tho. I was just curious if there was something I was missing, nutritionally or training wise to help remedy this. Thanks Charles Lefebvre Question about getting enough "vegetarian" fat from Tony: Hi Ben, Help! I just watched the Fathead movie as you mentioned on a podcast. I thought it was excellent, however as a Lacto-ovo-pescatarian, how can I implement the ideas raised in the movie? Avoiding starch and sugar is easy by limiting potatoes and rice but how do I get the extra fat, can I do that with fish, eggs and dairy and not expose myself to other issues such as heavy metal poisoning from the fish or too many antibiotics in the dairy? Regards, Tony. Question about water consumption from Kyle: What is your opinion of avoiding water (or other fluid) intake while eating. I recently read a theory that doing so dilutes your stomach acid, which was claimed to inhibit digestion. Question about sleep from Dylan:Hi, Ben. Is there such a thing as too much sleep? I've always thought that my body would wake up when it's had enough sleep. But I typically sleep ten hours a night, and that is coupled with a 20 minute power nap in the afternoon following my workout (alternating days of high intensity interval training & strength training) and lunch. I've read that many pro athletes swear by sleep and napping (some schedule naps and call them "business meetings"--as they are as much a part of the athlete's training as, say, cardio workouts are). Still, I'm wondering if I'm getting too much. Ten hours every night (typically 10pm-8am) plus a 20 minute nap . . . Is that why I'm stuck at 15% body fat??? Thanks, Dylan Dane P.S. I am a very fit & healthy 40-year-old male, a competitive age-grouper. Closing music from "Vowel Sounds" by Brock Skywalker. Available on iTunes or at CD Baby.

Follow Ben Greenfield on Twitter at: www.twitter.com/bengreenfield As I mention in my Fueling Myths book, glycemic index doesn’t matter before exercise. Good article about Running Rules You Should Break. It appears that even just a little intensity in your workout helps more than previously believed. So...maybe marathon doesn’t suppress immune system...just allergies? Before you take this as reason to begin “grazing”, notice that it is 3 meals & 2 snacks, not “6-10 a day”. ----------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&As: Audio Question from Patrick: Does long cardio really burn off muscle? In my response to Patrick, I mention these amino acids. ------------------------- Erling Tenvik asks: The winter is coming, and i was wondering if its bad to do hard outdoor training in cold temperatures (for the lungs). Last year in Oslo (Norway) it was -20 for a long period. I like the new structure of the podcast :) In my response to Erling, I reference this podcast with Ray Cronise and Tim Ferris. Brock also mentioned "wind proof undies". ------------------------- Andrei asks: Hi Ben, I heard you a few times talking about soaked and sprouted grains. So what is the proper way to do it? How do you sprout grains, quinoa, etc? Thank you! In my response to Andrei, I reference a multi-part video on soaking and sprouting that Jessa Greenfield presented inside the Ben Greenfield Fitness Inner Circle at www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/innercircle and also the cookbook Nourishing Traditions ------------------------- Ron asks: What do you think of Dr. Weil's food pyramid? ------------------------- David Asks: Ben, I’m a triathlete and focus on the 70.3 distance and moving to a full next season. I want to lean up, get stronger and be in a solid position for next season. I eat ok but there is a lot of room for improvement in my diet. Which would allow me to drop my body fat but still allow muscle mass growth over the off season and keep that muscle mass as I start racing next season. What diet would you recommend? Start with low carb diet and then convert over to Rev Diet (http://www.revdiet.com) ? Other suggestions? Keep up the Podcasts! Thanks David ------------------------- Questions from Jim and Dan about antibiotics: Jim asks: Ben, I know you recently went through having to use antibiotics for an infection. I have to take cipro soon for an intestinal infection. Heard it was nasty and you cant train because it affects your tendons and ligaments (especially your Achilles tendon) would you know how long I should wait before resuming training? ...and Dan asks... Hey Ben, I was wondering if you have any knowledge on Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (Avelox, Cipro, Levaquin, Floxin, etc), and the damage they can cause. In April 2011 I had a sinus infection, I was prescribed Avelox, and right away I started having knee pain while running and biking. It got worse and worse, and in June I could barely walk w/o pain. I went to a Doctor and had blood tests done, and was told I was completely fine. My Nutritionist felt it was Leaky Gut and I changed my diet accordingly and felt better.... But over the course of the summer I have experienced many issues ranging from muscle spasms, itchy skin, rashes (especially after swimming in chlorinated pools and eating certain foods), muscle aches, tightness in tendons/muscles, depression (obviously), no energy, the list goes on. I have talked to a Rheumatologist and a Naturopath and both agree that I have Leaky Gut, but they were not aware of damages from the Fluoroquinolones. The Rheumatologist prescribed me a strong NSAID so I can workout, yet that would bother my Leaky Gut even further and I have no intention of taking it. So far doing a mix of the Paleo Diet and the Candida Diet is helping... When I rest up and feel better, I try to do a light workout and then get knocked right back down, with pains later that day. It takes me three times longer to recover after the easiest of workouts. Can you give me any advice or direction? I feel as if I went from a super healthy and fit 35 year who was into Triathlons, to someone that can barely move without worrying about snapping something. In my response I reference this article I wrote on How To Limit The Damage Caused by Antibiotics. ------------------------------------------ Kai asks: The three most discussed options to the Standard American Diet are Vegan, Zone, and Low Carb. Have any studies been done which objectively compare the health benefits of these three intake approaches? With your recent release of the low carb diet for triathletes, what is your opinion on the Zone diet? In my response, I mention http://www.lowcarbtriathlete.com ------------------------- John asks: I am preparing for a mountain climbing expedition this Spring. Expedition climbing differs from other endurance sports, such as triathlons, in a number of ways: - An expedition may last two months or more. - The summit day may last 12 hours or more with only short rest breaks. - The aerobic system is taxed by high altitude. Average intensity is less than race type sports, but peak intensity is just as high. You need good full-body strength to carry a heavy backpack while performing climbing moves (balance and flexibility). How would you train for this? What specific workouts would you do? Thanks for your help. In my response to John, I reference http://www.youtube.com/bengreenfieldfitness and high knee step-ups, single leg squats, hip hikes, lateral leg raises, torso twists, woodchoppers, running man row, and standing row. ------------------------- Jens asks: I learned about Super Compensation decades ago and that certain muscles need appr. 48 hours to get into the supercomensation "state". To be honest, I never felt that it worked or that it didn't. I just did it. Does this principle still matter? And if so, how would one figure these cycles out? For runners, who run every day, does this principle work or is the type of exercise different? How do trainers like you figure out how often one specific person has to put a load on their body to get the best results? Or is supercompensation just a thing for body builders? Kind regards, Jens (Germany) In my response to Jens, I reference my interview with guys from Restwise as well as Tudor Boompa's book "Periodization for Sport". ------------------------- Kathy asks: Thanks for all the great info you put out. Can you talk a bit more about multivitamins? I remember someone asking you about taking inexpensive multis, and you talked about the differences in low and high quality. But do you think taking a good multivitamin is good 'insurance,' even for someone who eats soundly, including lots of different vegetables? I was wondering what you think about this particular multi, New Chapter. It's quite expensive and 'low-dose.' Their theory is that their vitamins are 'cultured' and therefore absorbed much more effectively. Thanks again. Both my husband and I love your podcast and site. -Kathy In my response to Kathy, I reference Peter Gillham liquid multi-vitamins. ------------------------- Brandon asks: Ben, I was wondering how quickly can cortisol and/or water cause major fluctuations in weight gain? Could these factors cause gains that would indicate significant over-consumption of calories? Or do the calories play the primary role in the weight gain that these factors make more apparent? Over thanksgiving break (during which I was away from my college's weight room/ cardio machines) I saw a decrease in weight (around 7 pounds compared to normal weight in 5 days) despite only doing fat burning cardio and a couple workout that weren't as demanding as usual. I did some calorie restriction and tried to keep my body burning fat during those days. Now that I am back to my usual schedule (and have done a week straight of workouts) my weight has increased to about 5 to 7 pounds over my normal weight. I'm using the same scale at the same time of day and know that muscle gain is contributing some what but it looks like I've gained a more abdominal fat than someone with my exercise regimen and clean diet should. I really don't think I'm eating to excess unless I cannot trust my mind to tell me when I'm full. I've never been stuffed after a meal and hope that I don't have to feel like I'm starving myself to keep me from gaining fat at the same rate as muscle. ------------------------- Listeners Steve and Petra ask about leg workouts: Steve asks: What are the best weight lifting / resistance training exercises for the legs for distance runners ? I typically get a lower leg or hip injury 2 or 3 times a year running and I believe it is from doing little resistance training for my legs. ...and Petra asks: Hey Ben! Thanks sooo much for all you put out here for everyone! I have learned so much just from listening to your podcasts and articles you post on here, it truly is fabulous. I have ran my entire life or since I could join track. I mainly do long distance races and have completed 3 marathons and just ran a half marathon. Now my goal is to qualify for Boston, like every other competitive runner :) I was never a bad runner but not elite either. The problem that I think is holding me back in running is I have always struggled with developing muscle tone. I am lean but I don't look like a lean/ripped runner, my upper body is more toned than my lower half but could still use some help. When I have done strengthening exercises I seem to get bulky or put the muscle under the fat and gain weight either way. I just give up and end up just doing my interval track workouts, tempo runs and a long run each week because it keeps me the leanest. I honestly think that if I could figure out how to lean up a bit more I would be able to be a much, much better runner than I am now. I am just unsure of how to combine, running, strength and nutrition all together! There is so much information out there I don't know what to do anymore and just want a lean, runner body without becoming anemic! Any words of wisdom? Thanks! Petra In my response to Steve and Petra, I also mention http://www.tri-ripped.com as well as my new book on Weight Training For Triathletes (see links in Special Announcements section). ------------------------- Nadine's Question: On your website, you have a link that deals with preventing your computer "from sabotaging your health". The link talks briefly about EMR (electro magnetic radiation) and its effects. There has been some research about the effects of wireless as well (see JAMA Feb 23, 2011) on the blood-brain barrier. Also toxicologist Devra Davis has written a new book called "Disconnect" that deals with some of the health effects of wireless. What do you think about athletes using heart rate monitors and power meters that pulse in the wireless range (e.g. 2.4 GHz)? ------------------------------------------ Testimonial from Christian: I finished my first ironman 2 weeks ago at ironman Florida - I couldn't have done it without your Triathlon Dominator plan. 2 more weeks of recovery and then training starts for IM Florida 2012. Goal for next year is sub 11 hours! Thanks, Christian ------------------------------------------ Closing music from "Table Set for One" by Brock Skywalker.

Eric earned a doctor of chiropractic degree after undergraduate study in physiology and nutrition. He developed an innovative approach to human performance and movement in his work training elite athletes. He is now teaching people to benefit from proper movement. Eric's book is available on Amazon. ------------------------------------------------ Listener Q&A: Shay-Mo asks: I'm a freshman in high school and I run cross country competitively. I run anywhere from 240 to 380 minutes a week on average, and I eat very healthy… for the most part! But lately I've been doing research on the Paleo diet and I'm very interested! I've done quite a bit of research on it and I really want to give it a go, but I just don't want it to affect my performance, level of intensity or my goals. I feel sluggish at times with my regular diet and I have stomach related problems such as gastritis and duodenitis, and I'm hypo-thyroid. I know that with the Paleo Diet I would have to alter some things, such and Robb Wolf and you talked about in your discussion (Episode 120), but I'm still not really sure on where you stand. You said that you lost weight and muscle, and that your performance altered a little on the vegan diet, but I'm not sure what your views are of the Paleo diet for athletes. One of my teammates took a huge jump in her season and went from running JV to being our second runner, which is very impressive considering the depth of our team and our competitive level, and she follows the Paleo diet. I would have to talk to my coach but I'm really interested and I have a feeling it would really help me, since eating certain foods messes with my stomach sometimes! But I am scared of jeopardizing my season! Ken asks: I trained Cross Fit Endurance for my first ironman and finished in 14:00 with a smile on my face. Since I was beyond a beginner, I spent extra time working on my swim. My question is for my NYC Ironman - how can I turn my bike from 7 hours to 6? I will be training Cross Fit Endurance again but I am considering doing a traditional longer hour bike training to cut down my time? What do u think? John asks: I have a question on behalf of my 11 yr old son. He has pain around the bottom of both feet around the heel and radiating up the achillies tendon. To try and massage around the bottom rear of his heals has him in much pain. I have researched and found that Severs Disease seems to be closest to his symptoms. He has been to see a podiatrist friend and she has given him some heel wedge type elevators which have taken some pressure off the heel area. This has been going on now for three years, Ben. He loves to run - but he has brought his running style onto the front / balls of his feet which I fear is going to give him more problems. How can I train him to correct this toe gait when he still has the pain in his heels? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. In Ben's response to John, he recommends a night splint for Plantar Fascia. willrunforfood asks: My husband is considering using magnesium. However, Mike has checked out Epson salt and the price is much cheaper. What more benefits would he get from magnesium vs. Epson salt? Which type of magnesium do you suggest? Lotion, spray or oral? Mike is a road cyclist who rides quite a bit: centuries plus shorter very hard rides too. Mike suffers from calf cramps, mostly, but also has a tight IT band. In Ben's response to willrunforfood, he mentions Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes. John asks: Getting protein through healthy food is best, but sometimes that is not possible and I have to use a powder. I am looking at ordering a custom mix of protein powder to use before or after workouts and as an occasional snack. There are a lot of different kinds of protein powder available, such as whey, soy, egg, beef, hemp, calcium caseinate, pea, rice, isolates, concentrates, hydrolized, etc., etc. I can also add many different kinds of carbs and supplements. What mixture do you recommend? In Ben's response to John, he recommends Living Fuel Living Protein and Mt. Capra Double Bonded Protein James asks: I know you prefer real foods, but what are your thoughts on Quorn and Mycoprotein (e.g. Naked Chik'n Cutlet) as a vegetarian source of protein? Michael asks: You stated in an earlier podcast that we should avoid Omega 6 because we get plenty of it in our diet via veggie oils and it is pro-inflammatory. Unfortunately, I recently bought a bottle of Nordic Naturals Complete Omega 3,6,9. Did I waste my money? Should I have just bought Omega 3. Also, I need to limit my amount of Choline because I have a rare genetic disorder called Trimethylaminuria (TMAU). I can't seem to be able to determine if Nordic Naturals Omega 3,6,9 has Choline in it. I've called the lab but I'm left on hold forever. Choline is abundant in fish, but I'm not sure if it's in the oil or the final product of N.N's Complete Omega 3,6,9. In Ben's response to Michael, he recommends going back and listening to the interview with Udo Erasmus. Jenny asks: I do strength training 3 to 4 times per week. I like to vary my routines and was wondering - is it better to do overall body workouts or to cover specific body parts separately with more exercises, such as chest & triceps for one session? I do triathlons but am in my off season period. Raminta asks: I have heard many times from various sources that carbs cause an insulin spike, and that if this spike is too much, your body stores the carbs as fat. I have also heard that really most foods (like protein) cause some sort of insulin spike, but that carbs, and especially processed carbs, cause a much faster insulin spike. But I have not seen many people quantify how much of an insulin spike is undesirable. So the question is, is there a way to determine if and when I have had an undesirable and fat-storing insulin spike? Could I use a blood glucose meter that diabetics use to see how my body responds to certain foods and meals? In Ben's response to Raminta, he mentions the insulin index and also recommends a home blood glucose meter.

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code) --------------------------------------------------------------- Featured Topic:  "Living Beyond Organic" - Are Packaged Organic Foods Really Healthy or Just Marketing Hype? --------------------------------------------------------------- Is organic chocolate actually healthy? We answer this question and much more in today's featured topic with Dr. Josh Axe... In today's interview, Ben Greenfield and the new podcast host Brock Skywalker Armstrong interview Dr. Josh Axe about the new Beyond Organic foods, including: -Reign Spring Water & Botanical Infusions -SueroViv -Amasai -Green Finished Beef -Green Fed Dairy -Beyond Organic Chocolate During the interview, Dr. Axe answers questions about product ingredients and how packaged organic food could actually be healthy. As an additional resource, Dr. Axe recommends learning more about the benefit of organic cattle by reading the book: "The Devil Is In The Milk." Full disclosure: Ben Greenfield has joined BeyondOrganic as a member. This means that if you, like Ben, begin using the products above, then Ben will make a 20% commission. And so you make the same commission if you join as a member. ------------------------------------------------ Listener Q&A: Chuck asks how much time off do you really need to take during the off-season and whether you need to get “unfit to get fit again". Nadine asks:If you read the December 2011 Triathlete magazine, they will tell you that you can get fit faster by including more intensity, less volume over the winter. In Velo Magazine for December 2011, the long,slow, zone one/two for the whole "off" season is recommended. Plus you have talked more intensity and less volume but interview Phil Maffetone who says to keep heart rate in zone one for the prep and base periods. So I am confused. What is the deal with intensity? Craig asks: My doctor says everyone should take a baby aspirin each day. What is your opinion on this? Melanie asks: First, if you are trying to get your calcium from food rather than supplements, how should you count calcium that has been added to foods? Is that considered a supplement and how useful or absorbable is it? Example, I drink almond milk which boasts 50% DV of calcium, but much of this is added to the milk in the form of calcium carbonate. Is calcium carbonate a good form? If I conclude I'm not getting enough from food, would you recommend hydroxyapatite as the best form? I've previously taken, but not currently taking, Jarrow Bone Up. Also, can you clarify the relationship between magnesium and calcium? I am having some success with my PMS by taking magnesium powder (which you have recommended) and I don't want to interfere with my success by adding in a calcium supplement. In my response to Melanie, I mention Topical Magnesium and Natural Calm Magnesium. Kyoko asks:How does a gluten free diet effect the menstrual cycle? What are those effects are how serious are they? What is your advice? I have no period and no PMS, and I actually feel better. Erin asks: I've heard you talk about the use of beet juice for improved endurance performance a few times on the podcast now. I'm just curious to know if you've ever actually tried drinking 16 oz of beet juice? I tried drinking 8 oz of it once and it very quickly made me extremely nauseous. I had to pull over my car because I thought I was going to toss my cookies. I'm great with other vegetable juices, but I can't do the straight beet juice. I guess I'm just curious to know if other people have had this same problem.
