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.

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.

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code) --------------------------------------------------------------- Featured Topic: How To Easily Measure Your Body Fat With Laser Accuracy --------------------------------------------------------------- The BodyMetrix System uses ultrasound to accurately measure fat thickness and calculate Body Fat % and weight distribution, and in this interview, Ben speaks with the inventor of the BodyMetrix System, Luiz Da Silva. You'll learn how to easily measure your body fat with laser accuracy, what a device costs, how to use ultrasound to measure body fat, and much more! Earnings disclosure: Ben Greenfield makes commission on sales of the BodyMetrix System. ------------------------------------------------ Listener Q&A: Raminta has a call-in question about the many negatives of aerobic training, and this article: http://www.charlespoliquin.com/ArticlesMultimedia/Articles/Article/728/The_(Many)_Negatives_of_Aerobic_Training.aspx Jeff asks: Is a 3 mile "run" on an elliptical machine the fitness equivalent of a 3 mile standard run? For example, say my training plan calls for a 5 mile run (which would typically take me about 40 minutes), would a 40 minute ellipitcal workout be comparable? Also on an elliptical trainer, should I try to replicate my running gait and foot strike as much as possible? I'm more of a heel striker, but find myself using my forefoot more on an elliptical machine. In my response to Jeff, I mention the Elliptigo. Scott asks: Based on your advice, I've eliminated artificial sweeteners completely from my diet and am trying to eat more protein in particular. I've paid particular attention to the quality and source of the protein, but this hasn't always been easy and the quality of the source has often been uncertain (I travel extensively for business). Recently, I have developed some bad headaches. Sometimes they seem to spike right after eating. During initial, heavy exertion when lifting weights can also cause a spike in pain. But mostly, I walk around all day with a dull headache. Could this be due to my high level of protein consumption? Low level of carbohydrate consumption? Detox from artificial sweeteners and sugar? Other thoughts on what could be causing these headaches? Jennifer asks: I recently read in a book that a study found that drinking aloe vera juice could help relieve asthma symptoms. The study was not cited. Have you ever heard of aloe vera juice relieving asthma? In my response to Jennifer, I mention this Aloe Vera juice I use. Robert has a call-in question about Shimano DI2 shifting and whether I recommend it. Brian has a call-in question: I have a fitness question about racing the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim. This a 45-mile run/hike from one end of the canyon to the other and back. A handful of us plan to "race" it this coming Spring...meaning that we're going to do it as fast as we can. We're debating the best training plan. My belief is that we ought to spend two-thirds of our training time doing crossfit/plyometric-style workouts to strengthen our legs/quads/gluts/core as well as to develop more flexibility in our hips/IT band and then spend the remaining one-third doing long runs. My training buddies, on the other hand, are of the opposite belief... they believe we should spend two-thirds of our training time doing long distance runs and one-third doing crossfit/plyo type of training. In short, I believe strength/flexibility/agility are more important than long distance training. As background, we are all marathoners and we have all been doing crossfit/plyo training for the past five years, so we have a solid training base. This debate really is about how to spend the next five months leading up to our event... should we spend it mostly doing long runs or mostly focusing on weights/core/plyometrics/flexibility.

Tellman is currently running across the entire country in his bare feet, to raise money for youth homelessness. I called Tellman while he was actually running. During our interview, Tellman reveals the following barefoot running tips: -What is the most natural running surface for barefoot running... -What type of injuries are sustained by barefoot runners... -The differences between barefoot running and minimalist running shoes like Vibram Five Fingers... -Tellman's top piece of advice for the listener who wants to start barefoot running...

During our interview, Dr. Cohen discusses the powerful potential of essential fatty acids for use in both health and sports performance. In the interview, I ask Dr. Cohen the following questions: -Why have you added EFA's to one of your recommendations for internal performance factors? -How can I be tested for my essential fatty acids levels? -What do you do if you're deficient in EFA's? -Is there an advantage to fish oil vs. flax seed oil vs. chia seeds or any other number of EFA sources, or all they all the same? If you want to know more about essential fatty acids, you're going to want to listen to this interview. Dr. Cohen really knows his stuff, and presents the concept of fatty acids in an entertaining and unique way!

If you’re ready to get started, just click here to go to the Bioletics website to begin your six key performance factor testingor call Bioletics at 888-371-1033, ask for Dr. Richard Cohen, and tell him that Ben Greenfield sent you. ---------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Listener Joe asks: "One question that i have not been able to get a straight answer on, is what exaclty do bodybuilder do, exactly how does the diet & workouts change to get that paper thin skin? I would like to, at least one time in my life, experience walking around the earth tan and in high definition. Will you Please help me with this!" Listener Scott asks: "After watching the video you posted on MAP, I'm wondering how sold you were on the product? There was a mention of over 40 tests or clinical trials yet no links to this information are on their website (I couldn't find them). I would think if there was scientific evidence of effectiveness it would be plastered on there. If you do believe in it, would you recommend substituting MAP for whey protein or even your recipes that include Mt Capra protein powder?"... ...he goes on..."I recently injured my right posterior, distal calf just above my ankle. I believe it is a muscle injury since it feels like a "Charlie horse" type of discomfort or spasm that occurs when I walk or with plantar flexion. I bought an ankle ace wrap which made the spasm sensation go away and felt like it allowed my ankle to relax. I was able to perform a sprint interval session on the treadmill this morning with minimal discomfort. When the ankle began hurting, ensuring I was using proper form seemed to alleviate the pain. I'd like to be able to continue exercising but do not want to injure my ankle further. Do you have any recommendations?" Listener Dave asks: "After listening to John Kenny's high stroke rate per minute (SPM), I realize I have a very poor SPM in comparison. I think my low SPM correlates to my slow IM swim times. My stroke is a stroke-and-glide routine. I am beginning to realize I am losing momentum with each glide resulting in a slow swim, particularly in open water. My question: What would be a good course of action(s) in order to train and development a quicker arm turnover in freestyle swimming?" Listener Matt asks:"I saw a naturopath doc yesterday and they reccomended I start the Genotype Diet and it may help my stomach issues. I am not sure about this no nothing about it so I was curious if you have come across it? Its the same guy who started this as the Blood Type diet." ---------------------------------------- Special Announcements: 1. Another Ben Greenfield Fitness success story!
