Listener Q&A

Do you have a question for Ben? Just call 1-877-209-9439 and leave a voicemail, leave a Skype voicemail to username "pacificfit", or e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com.

Listener Chris asks: Hi Ben, When I look at nutrition labels, I often notice a big dispeaity between the sugar content and total carbohydrate. Doesn't the liver basically convert carbs to sugar for the muscles? I guess what I'm ultimately asking is while I'm looking out for low sugar content in food, should I also be concerned about total carbohydrate content if it's significantly higher than just the grams of sugar.

Listener Sofi asks: I've been wondering recently if I am getting too much fat in my diet. Don't get me wrong, its primarily the good fat..nuts, avocados, flax and whatnot...So here is what I am wondering: if my TOTAL calorie intake is kept where it should be, is it possible that getting too much of those calories from good fat is having a negative effect? I am way beyond believing its as easy as calories in/calories out, because all calories are not created equally. For this reason, I don't eat much refined sugar, get my veggies and don't buy things that can live forever on my shelves...But I have this funny feeling I may be going into good fat overdose. So, would you be able to shed some light on how this could be effecting me? Also, if I'm eating 1200-1700 calories (depending on exercise, etc), how much of that should really come from fat?

Listener Elsa asks: Why do I have a "want to throw up" feeling after my weight training session?

Listener Joan comments: In a podcast you aired a couple weeks ago, you mentioned that you use Hammer's Liquid Endurance for hot weather competitions. That, of course, is a glycerol-based product. In Hammer's latest Endurance News issue, they note that glycerol has now been prohibited by WADA. Hammer actually no longer has Liquid Endurance available. If you want to read the article....its in the January 2010 issue.

Why Running *Isn't* The Best Way To Get Fit, How The Running Craze HARMED Fitness Enthusiasts & Why Walking Is Essential To Health & Longevity, With Mark Sisson.

Why Running *Isn't* The Best Way To Get Fit, How The Running Craze HARMED Fitness Enthusiasts & Why Walking Is Essential To Health & Longevity, With Mark Sisson.

The romanticized notion that humans are "born to run" has buoyed the so-called running boom of the past 50 years: well-intentioned fitness enthusiasts lacing up their cushioned shoes and plodding down roads and trails in pursuit of the runner's high, a trim physique, and the fountain of youth. Unfortunately, "born to run" is a big, fat ruse—a marketing gimmick and a gross misappropriation of evolutionary biology's insights into Homo sapiens' genetic attributes for endurance. While any movement away from a sedentary-dominant lifestyle is laudable, the truth is that humans are actually born to walk, not run. Ready to get fitter, leaner, and stronger than ever without the pain, suffering, and sacrifice of the typical approach to endurance training?

A Brand New, At-Home Way To Accurately Test Your *Mitochondrial* Health & Efficiency (Your Doctor Probably HASN'T Heard Of This!) With Dr. Hemal Patel

A Brand New, At-Home Way To Accurately Test Your *Mitochondrial* Health & Efficiency (Your Doctor Probably HASN'T Heard Of This!) With Dr. Hemal Patel

I recently discovered that there is actually an accurate method of figuring out how healthy your mitochondria are. It's called "mescreen," and it is based on groundbreaking research that allows you to assess mitochondrial function through a simple at-home blood test. Mescreen decodes your cellular performance to unlock the peak potential for optimal living. This is more than guesswork, it's the first-of-its-kind, precision pathway to discover your vitality based on your mitochondrial efficiency. Dr. Hemal Patel, my guest on this show, is a tenured professor and vice-chair for research in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of California, San Diego, and has a dual appointment as a VA research career scientist and VA research pharmacologist at the VA San Diego Healthcare System. He is also the chief scientific advisor for Verséa Discovery (the creators of mescreen). He obtained his Ph.D. in pharmacology and toxicology from the Medical College of Wisconsin and did postdoctoral work at UCSD in the Department of Pharmacology under Paul Insel (2002–2005). He has made seminal contributions in shaping new investigation areas on defining the impact of membrane structure on cell, organ, and organismal physiology and metabolism with implications for cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, diabetic cardiomyopathy, aging, pulmonary hypertension, cancer, and neurodegeneration. His focus on energetics in cell biology touches upon all these and is a control point for managing and empowering human health resilience.

Why “Old-School” Methods For Managing Pain Don't Work, & How To Use The NEW Understanding of Cells & Body Electricity To Manage Chronic Pain Better, With Dr. Stephen Hussey

Why “Old-School” Methods For Managing Pain Don't Work, & How To Use The NEW Understanding of Cells & Body Electricity To Manage Chronic Pain Better, With Dr. Stephen Hussey

The sensation of pain has played an essential role in the evolution of life. As life evolved to be more complex, the mechanisms of how pain is created and felt have also become more complex. While pain signaling is essential for the success of any species, humans are facing an epidemic of pathologic pain signaling that has no usefulness for survival: chronic pain. This epidemic of chronic pain is creating the unnecessary suffering of millions of people. It costs millions of dollars to treat and prevents millions of people from working. Furthermore, the treatments offered by modern medicine (drugs and surgery) are not only ineffective but also cause more problems than they solve. Dr. Hussey guides clients from around the world back to health by using the latest research and health-attaining strategies. In his downtime, he likes to be outdoors, play sports, read, write, and travel.
