Listener Q&A:

As compiled and read by Brock, the Ben Greenfield Fitness Podcast "sidekick".

Audio Question from Keith: Wants to know Ben's opinion on Tailwind Endurance Fuel.

~ In my response I mention Osmo Nutrition.

Eve asks: I am a typically pear shaped female. I have done strength training diligently for several years, and I have trained for triathlon for almost a year. My upper body strength is really holding me back on the swim. I train swimming 3 times per week. I have worked with swim coaches and have followed numerous strength training protocols with several personal trainers. I bought your book "strength training for triathletes" and followed some of the exercises. I've had improvements in my leg strength, but not in my lats and arms. I eat Paleo with loads of fruit, plenty of protein, litre of milk per day with zero junk and zero gluten. Is there no hope for me? Even my mother can bench more than me :-(

~ In my response to Eve, I mention the SwimSmooth book.

Rob asks: I was listening to you and Brock talk about gels and goos today, recommendations for half-marathoning. I started running hardcore last year and I found the half-marathon distance really tough until I started wearing a CamelBak and I was thinking about carrying honey packets with me as a natural source of energy, as opposed to gels and goos. I'm a budget runner as much as possible because I'm a budget sort of wage-earner and I can just grab these honey packets at the local coffeehouse. What do you think about using honey as an energy source during a long-distance run?

KaLonny asks: Is there any validity to hair analysis? A local chiropractor offers this test to measure mineral content of your hair and, according to this particular website, "if a particumineral deficiency or toxicity exists in the hair, it usually indicates a mineral deficiency or toxicity within the body. This in turn, provides a great window into the metabolic activity within the body, which allows us to prescribe a unique treatment protocol in order to properly treat your condition. " I am interested for myself, but also for my daughter, who shows characteristics of autism and other behaviour issues. Is it legit or a waste of money?

~ In my response to KaLonny, I recommend these two tests: www.evitalhealth.com/Red_Blood_Cell_Elements.html www.spectracell.com/mnt/#nutrients

Hope says: I'm 53 years old and have been going through the side effects of peri-menopause and menopause for many years now. I decided when I was in my later 40's that I would try to "run through menopause". I'm now running about 3 - 4 miles a few times a week and also do different types of cross training. I have completed a 5k and a 10k, but I find that I get too exhausted to put in any real extended mileage. I wanted your input regarding how to deal with the exhaustion, hot flashes and creeping weight gain which has been occurring. I have tried black cohosh and other remedies to no avail. My diet is overall very good - lots of veggies, clean foods, protein and not huge amounts of carbs, except for a treat. My mother had breast cancer twice, so there is no way I'll be touching any hormones. I am trying my best to keep fit and young, but I gotta tell you, it's been tough!

~ In my response to Hope, I recommend listening to my podcast on why women gain weight as they get older and taking a look at the Ben Recommends page.

Nadine asks: I am an ex-triathlete who stopped swimming because of a problem with chlorine. Here is what the symptoms are like: after two or three swims in a week, I stop being able to digest fat, get heart palpitations (which I never get otherwise) and generally feel terrible. It took me a long time to figure out what the trigger is until my naturopath did some reflex testing with pool water and figured out that the chlorine in the water goofs up my liver and gall bladder. I stopped swimming in 2005. I do a lot of endurance training but really really want to get back into triathlon. I am going to try a lower chlorine pool in Vancouver but wondered if a) you have encountered this sort of reaction before and b) if you have any ideas about helping out with the chlorine. I have no respiratory symptoms.

Shannon asks: I currently have a small tear in my labrum in my left hip. I have an acetabular impingement that seems to be why this has happened. I was a runner and practised a lot of yoga. I have been seeing a yoga therapist and doing physical therapy and my hip has been feeling better. I am not planning on having surgery, because my hip is feeling better. Do you have any suggestions or opinions about workouts? I would love to get back to running, but high impact activities make me nervous.

Andy wrote: I recently "fell" into the sport of road cycling after trying it out last year during a vacation. I have always been active (4th degree Black Belt in Karate) though I now have to work within my sciatica that at times does not allow me to walk without pain. Riding does give me a minor back soreness but it does not hurt me at all! Even though I am now 56 I would like to get into this sport more seriously but with caution. I still have a full time job and yes a growing family thus I have to balance. So, where does one begin to establish a serious, though reasonable overall program that someone like me can use to challenge himself?

~ In my response to Andy, I recommend www.TriathlonDominator.com and www.Tri-Ripped.com

Paul asks: I am a 63 yr old 30 + yr. runner. I have flat feet and hammer toes. The last few years I have had nerve pain under second toe on my right foot. I have used a metatarsal pad under toes with relative success. Lately pain hangs on after long runs. I went to a podiatrist and got a cortisone shot for the inflammation and was told I need an orthotic. I've seen insoles with a pad directly behind the ball of the foot designed to take the pressure off the metatarsal bone and would be interested in your view of the best way to approach this problem.

~ In my response to Paul I talk about the How To Run Barefoot post.

It equips you with all the tools you need to maintain that balance, especially when life happens. You'll learn how to detox, nourish, and rejuvenate, with your body as your best ally.

DARK Calories! How Vegetable Oils Destroy Your Health (& How You Can Get It Back) With Dr. Cate Shanahan

DARK Calories! How Vegetable Oils Destroy Your Health (& How You Can Get It Back) With Dr. Cate Shanahan

Dr. Cate Shanahan, “The Energy Doctor,” is a Cornell-trained physician-scientist whose works have inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live-culture ferments, and seed oil-free business empires. Together, with NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the LA Lakers PRO Nutrition program, which has been emulated by elite championship teams around the world. Dr. Cate is back for a threepeat to discuss her new book Dark Calories, in which she introduces you to well-respected scientists who warn that vegetable oils are a public health disaster, wreaking havoc on your body’s cells by depleting antioxidants and promoting free radical toxicity. Their many effects include: Uncontrollable hunger, resulting in the need for drugs to maintain your weight Inflammatory fat buildup under your skin and within your internal organs and arteries Blood sugar swings that promote bad moods and antisocial behavior Disrupted brain energy, concentration problems, and mental illnesses Intracellular oxidative stress that promotes cancer development Gut inflammation, bloating, heartburn, and "the runs" Important protein powder note: During our discussion, Dr. Cate and I expose the issues with the oxidation and processing of protein powders. Oxidation can indeed be an issue for all food and supplement products. This is why, at my supplements company Kion, we negotiate higher up the supply chain to get fresher raw ingredients, have negotiated rights to reject products based on oxidation and use an ISO-certified fulfillment center specialized and certified for food warehousing and fulfillment.

The 61-Year-Old Biohacker Who Is DEFYING Aging On An Unbelievable Budget (Without Restricting Calories Or Using Testosterone!) With Dave Pascoe

The 61-Year-Old Biohacker Who Is DEFYING Aging On An Unbelievable Budget (Without Restricting Calories Or Using Testosterone!) With Dave Pascoe

Dave Pascoe is a recently retired network security architect/engineer, who at age 61 looks, feels, and behaves like a 38-year-old.  That's because according to epigenetic age testing, Dave's cellular/biological age is 38! In today's episode, you'll get to discover how Dave is defying the aging process through his unique lifestyle approach. Despite not adhering to strict calorie restriction or veganism, his aging rate reached an impressive 0.66—placing him among the top contenders at the Rejuvenation Olympics (similar to my recent guest, Julie Gibson Clark). While quite a bit more involved than Julie Gibson Clark's protocol, some say Dave's approach to biohacking and longevity, costing him approximately $15,000/year, is quite a bit more affordable and more attainable to the average person than billionaire Bryan Johnson's expenditure of $2 million/year! Throughout the show, you'll get to uncover Dave's daily routine for remarkable health and vitality, from his consistent weight-bearing exercise since 2008 and post-workout sauna sessions to his nutrient-dense diet that avoids calorie counting. As the conversation progresses, you'll also explore Dave's use of supplements like DHEA, pregnenolone, and vitamin D to support his testosterone levels and overall well-being. Additionally, we touch upon the potential impact of cold thermogenesis, sleep protocols, and light mitigation techniques on longevity.

A Spy's SECRETS To Sleep, Recovery, Fitness, Nutrition & Relationships, With Former *Covert* CIA Officer Andrew Bustamante, "The EverdaySpy"

A Spy's SECRETS To Sleep, Recovery, Fitness, Nutrition & Relationships, With Former *Covert* CIA Officer Andrew Bustamante, "The EverdaySpy"

In today’s episode, you'll get to dive into a world few ever get to see... I'm joined by Andrew Bustamante, a former CIA intelligence officer and the founder of EverydaySpy.com. Andrew’s journey from the Air Force to the CIA is a story of transformation, grit, and adapting elite skills to everyday life. In our conversation, you'll uncover the intricacies of the CIA recruitment process, Andrew’s transition into this high-stakes world, and how his experiences have shaped the way he approaches life and business today. Andrew Bustamante is a former covert CIA intelligence officer, decorated military combat veteran, successful Fortune 10 corporate advisor, and a proud husband and father. After 20 years running human and technical intelligence operations for private and government clients worldwide, Andrew founded EverydaySpy.com—the first-ever digital spy training platform. Headlining both US and international media, Andrew’s training events have been praised for their innovative, authentic, and life-changing impact. When he isn’t giving interviews, running spy exercises, or supporting private intelligence contracts, Andrew lives with his wife (also an ex-CIA officer) and his two children in western Colorado. Now, while Andrew can’t reveal the specifics of his covert operations due to a lifetime secrecy agreement, he’s got a treasure trove of general CIA skills and tactics that he shares through his platform, EverydaySpy.com. In our episode together, you’ll discover how these espionage techniques can enhance your personal and professional life. We even delve into the fascinating topic of polygraphs—did you know it's possible to beat one by focusing on the polygrapher rather than the machine itself? Andrew will also reveal why biohacking is a necessity for those in high-stress fields like espionage. He discusses the practical recovery routines he developed while on operations, focusing on sleep, nutrition, and tailored exercise. He also shares some of his go-to practices for managing stress and maintaining peak health, like the use of L-theanine for anxiety and magnesium supplements. His pre-sleep and morning routines are meticulously designed to optimize recovery and performance, providing you with actionable tips to incorporate into your own life.
