Beyond-Training-Audiobook-Chapter.mp3

In the article "Underground Training Tactics For Enhancing Endurance – Part 1", I introduce you to the concept of using things like resisted, restricted and hypoxic breathing to significantly increase your oxygen utilization, your lung power, your VO2 max, and your inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength and endurance. In that article, I mention a "PowerLung", which is a special portable restricted breathing device that I personally use when I'm driving around in my car, watching a movie, or waiting in line at the airport as a way to squeeze in a quick lung workout. I keep the Powerlung in my bag and just pull it out whenever I know I have a chance to boost my VO2max. It seems like cheating, but I can actually exercise my lungs just about anytime, anyplace. But how does the PowerLung thing actually work, is it proven, and can you actually increase your VO2 max without exercising? In today's audio podcast, I interview Greg Wells, Ph.D., the Assistant Professor of the Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education at the University of Toronto and Associate Scientist of Physiology and Experimental Medicine at The Hospital for Sick Children. During our interview, you'll learn: -Which hidden muscles use over 15% of your energy needs during exercise... -The 2 best ways to do resisted breath training... -How your body pulls precious blood away from your arms and legs if you have weak breathing muscles... -Why breathing in and out of a straw isn't a good idea... -The sets and reps you should use for potent resisted breath training workout... -How resisted breathing is different than hypoxic training... -Why doing breath training the wrong way can increase body acidity... -What kind of resisted breath devices to use if you have asthma or other lung issues... -How resisted training could actually give you a six-pack abs... -And much more! ----------------------------------------- Resources: -The PowerLung (use code BGF025 for 25% discount) -Study: Respiratory Muscle Power Before and After Training -White Paper: The Importance of Respiratory Muscle Training Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscles. -The Sick Kids Foundation (10% of proceeds when you use code BGF025 at PowerLung.com go to the Sick Kids Foundation) Questions, comments or feedback about the Powerlung?

The mighty Dave Asprey joins us today to put the mold-free icing on the cake with Part 3 of the popular "How To Biohack The Ultimate Healthy Home" series. In part 1 of this series with Dr. Jack Kruse, we talked about lowering your exposure to EMF, artificial light and other biological assailants in the episode "How To Biohack The Ultimate Healthy Home: Part 1"... ...and in part 2, we spoke with green architect Stephanie Horowitz about ways your home can be built or modified to make it a healthier place to live: How To Biohack The Ultimate Healthy Home: Part 2, with Stephanie Horowitz... And today, Dave and I delve into the truth about mold in your home, mycotoxins in your body, and what you can do about it, including: ------------------------ -Why mold is a serious problem in homes these days, and where a company called "Dupont" fits in... -Why even a brand new home could have mold... -The best test to know if you have mold issues in your home... -Three ways to fix your body after mold exposure... -How to test your blood for mold and mycotoxins... -Which genes make you more susceptible to mold, and how to test your genes... -Easy hacks can you add to your home to keep mold from getting there in the first place... -And the one area of an airport you must avoid... ----------------------------------- About Dave Asprey Dave is founder of The Bulletproof Executive and a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent 15 years and over $300,000 to hack his own biology. He lost 100 pounds without counting calories or excessive exercise, used techniques to upgrade his brain by more than 20 IQ points, and lowered his biological age while learning to sleep more efficiently in less time. Learning to do these seemingly impossible things transformed him into a better entrepreneur, a better husband, and a better father. From private brain EEG facilities hidden in a Canadian forest to remote monasteries in Tibet, from Silicon Valley to the Andes, Dave has used hacking techniques and tried everything on himself. Be sure to check out Dave's "Upgraded Self" website for all his featured biohacks. ----------------------------------- Resources Discussed In This Episode -Dave's mold and mycotoxins talk at the Become Superhuman Live Event -Environmental Relative Mold Index -American Air Testing -Mold Profile and Mycotoxin Panel blood testing -23andme genetic testing -Amy Yasko's book - Genetic Bypass: Using Nutrition To Bypass Genetic Mutations -Bulletproof Upgraded Coconut Charcoal -Edible clay -Cholestyramine -HEPA filters Do you have questions about mold in your home, mycotoxin exposure or anything else Dave Asprey talked about?

Joseph De Sena (pictured) is 44 years old. His racing resume is the stuff of legends - over 50 ultra-endurance events overall and 14 Ironman events (in one year alone). Most of his races are 100 miles or more with a few traditional marathons in the mix. (He once said that running a 26.2 marathon distance was “adorable.”) To put things in perspective, Joe raced the Vermont 100, the Lake Placid Ironman and the Badwater Ultra… all in one week. The elevation climb for the 135-mile Badwater race, which starts hundreds of feet below sea level in Death Valley, is over 8,500 feet up to Mt. Whitney and temperatures soar into the 120’s. Joe also biked cross-country in the Furnace Creek 508 which has been coined “The Toughest 48 Hours in Sport.” Joe’s other athletic achievements include: - Raid International Ukatak: Canada, January 2001 - IditaSport: Alaska February, 2001 (1st place) - Odyssey Adventure Race: Big Island, Va., March 2001 - OAR Beast of the East: Clayton Lakes, Va., April 2001 (1st place) - Raid The North Extreme: Newfoundland, June 2001 (13th place out of 42) - Adrenaline Rush: Dublin, Ireland, July 2001 - Discovery World Championships: St. Moritz, Switzerland August, 2001 And Joe is CEO and Co-founder of the popular Spartan Race series.With over 80 events planned for 2014, Reebok Spartan Race is making obstacle racing one of the fastest growing sports in the world.

While featuring competitive elite heats, Reebok Spartan Races are for athletes of all levels and abilities and are geared toward ripping people off their couches and getting them into the outdoors, living a fitter life.  Joe just wrote a new book entitled "Spartan Up!: A Take-No-Prisoners Guide to Overcoming Obstacles and Achieving Peak Performance in Life" and in this audio episode, we're going to delve into Joe's book, and how you can live a Spartan lifestyle while achieving peak performance in your own life.

BJ Tucker is a long distance runner, health advocate, father of 5 and has been married for 28 years. His journey started 2 1/2 years ago when he was tired of being overweight, tired and not able to walk up a flight of stairs without losing his breath. So he started eating plants. And running. And eliminating alcohol and grains. Since then he has lost 75 pounds, and become a successful long distance runner with achievements like back-to-back marathons. BJ recently featured my "10 Steps To Mastering A Plant Based Diet" post on his website. Why was BJ so interested in that? Because BJ is a self-described "plant-powered athlete". He eats no meat. So in today's audio podcast, I ask BJ: Questions: -How did you lose 75 pounds over the past 2 years? -Where did alcohol fit into the picture for you? -How do you manage to eat a plant-based diet and yet go, as Vinnie Tortorich says, "NSNG"? Aren't grains very common on a plant-based diet? -It's no secret that plant-based diets often contradict what I personally recommend here at BenGreenfieldFitness - namely a high-fat diet combined with avoidance of long, slow cardio. But you eat a plant-based diet and run long distances. Are you concerned about your blood work, hormones or gut, or do you pay attention to that? -What's your running protocol look like? Do you have any special strategies you want to share, such as run-walk protocols, pacing methods, etc? -Do you strength train, and if so, what do you do? -How do you manage 5 kids, a successful marriage and long distance running? Any tips for our audience? -Does your family also eat a plant-based diet? If so, do your kids ever ask about eating meat? Do you have questions, comments or feedback about how to lose 75 pounds by eating plants? Leave your questions, comments and feedback at BenGreenfieldFitness.com and BJ or I will reply!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
