Audio Question from Danny: Which is better for a relaxed day with the kids, Frozen Yoghurt or regular Ice Cream?

~ In my response, I mention our coconut ice cream recipe.

Audio Question from Scott: He really enjoys baking bread, all from scratch and no processed flower. He uses a soaking process called "Pre-fermentation", where you soak the ground grains. Is this the same as soaking them prior to grinding?

~ In my response to Scott, I recommend the book Nourishing Traditions. I also mention my podcast with Dr. William Davis.

Audio Question from Dwayne: He currently takes CoQ10, 10mg a day. Is there a benefit to taking more than that or to cycle it?

Audio Question from Trisha: She and her husband are runners who do Tia-Kwan-do. When they ramp up for a race, they feel like they are losing flexibility. Why and how is that happening and how can they counteract that?

~ In my response to Trisha, I mention these exercises.

Audio Question from Sandy: Ben has spoken against birth control pills but recommend Vitamin D supplements. Why is the synthetic hormone Vit D ok when the other is not?

~ In my response to Sandy, I recommend the book "Sex, Lies & Menopause". Also the Lady Comp Fertility Monitor.

Audio Question from Brandon: Exercise frequency - how much is appropriate just for looking good and being fit? Should you exercise every day? If so, how do you adjust the intensity/duration to not overdo it?

Audio Question from Andy: What is earthing? Was his dad right when he told him as a child to "go rub some dirt on it" when he got hurt?

~ I my response to Andy I mention: Thermographic grounding images, Sleeping grounded study, Immune system grounding study, Circadian Rhythm Study. I also mention Grounding Mats.

Audio Question from Bad Workout Guy: Do you ever have a bad workout day? Out of breath, tired, have to stop to get some air, even though it is the same workout you have done before with no issue.

~ In my response, I mention Restwise. I also mention the emwave2 for tracking heart rate variability.

Audio Question from Stephan: Hill Training. Running for a couple years. Endurance is getting good and pace is picking up. Training for a marathon in the fall. Hills always wipe him out. Struggles with them every time. Do you have any tips on how to attach hills? Stride, technique, strength training?

~ The Wildflower Hill Running tips.

Audio Question from Sara: How and why do sports energy drinks (Red Bull, Rockstar) work? How bad are they for you? Is it ok to have them every once in a while?

Audio Question from Sam: He has a question about getting Omega-3 as a vegetarian. What's the highest dose he should get at one time to get the most benefit? Should he spread it out over the whole day or get it all at once?

~ In my response I mention www.EnergyBits.com (use 10% discount code BEN)

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.
