How Much Water Do You Really Need to Drink Each Day ----------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: As compiled, edited and sometimes read by Brock, the Ben Greenfield Fitness Podcast "sidekick". Casey @ 00:27:35 He had an idea to combine cold thermogenesis with the Litvinov Training Protocol. He wants to substitute a 400m swim in icy water for the run. Are there any health issues involved? Will his heart explode in the middle of the swim? Ribose @ 00:35:41 He is taking D-Ribose from Now Products and is wondering about dosage (the website says to take 1.5 level teaspoon prior to exercise and more if you are a serious athlete). How does he know how much to take and if he takes too much, what might happen? ~ In my response, I mention www.X2Performance.com and the code GREENFIELD $10 off every case. Eric @ 00:41:37 Has been watching the Superhuman Conference on DVD and is wondering what the scale is that Ray Cronise mentions during his talk. It measures RMR and might be called the Y-Rain scale? What is it and how does it work? ~ In my response, I mention the Withings scale and the Superhuman DVD's for $27. Michael @ 00:45:47 He is a combat rescue helicopter pilot and has a herniated disc. He is being treated with ART, Dry Needling and decompression/manipulation. He is doing a 100miler in September and IM Florida in November and is wondering what he can do on his own to get through it. Pain's not bad - he is still able to run, bike and lift. It hurts most when he sits for long periods of time. ~ In my response, I recommend Michael listen to episode 224 for compression belt information and also to episode 235 for nerve pain tips where in my recommendation for pain management to JD, I recommend: A whole food antioxidant that includes vitamin B, D, E and wild plant derivatives, such as LifeShotz. High omega 3 fatty acids and GLA intake, including borage oil, Natural painkillers from something like phenocane, High magnesium intake, A zinc supplement, and Glutathione. I also recommend episode 138 on how to stop chronic pain. I mention Lifeworks Wellness Center and also regenadisc and stem cell therapy: www.recytecorp.com and www.swisscelergen.com. And lastly, neurolinguistic programming with Andy Murphy. Steph @ 00:58:44 She is wondering if there are any concerns around nutrition or exertion while training for a marathon with epilepsy. John @ 01:03:08 Would like you to explain Garmin's "Training Effect", if you can. He gets very strange and confusing readings. Also, he would like to know if a score of 60 is really bad from the SweetBeat HRV app? Does it really depend on the individual or should he be working on getting it higher? ~ In my response, I recommend listening to this heart rate variability interview. At the end of this podcast, we play 5 year old Terran Greenfield's song from "The Clownies", which you can grab here for $1.99. And don't forget to go to BenGreenfieldFitness.com/love!

Nutbutter says @ 00:19:28 She is a 20-something year old vegan distance runner who is wondering what role you think nut butters play in the diet of a vegan athlete. Lately she has been over-eating the Whole Foods brand cashew butter (that contains safflower oil). Do you think nut butter is necessary for a vegan athlete's nutrition? How healthy do you consider them to be? ~ In my response, I mention raw, organic nut butter. Overactive Bladder says @ 00:27:31 She will brush her teeth, go pee and head to bed but after about 15 minutes she has to get up and pee again. Then she will wake up again in 3-4 hours and have to pee again. She had a cross-country running coach that told her "if you're not waking up in the night needing to go to the bathroom, you're not hydrated enough" and she things maybe that stuck with her. She drinks a lot of water, spaced out during the day, not specifically before bed and never has this type of urgency during the day. ~ In my response, I mention these sleep resources: Sleep Pack, Sleep Add-Ons, Sleep Gear. Jeremy says @ 00:35:52 When he eats, he tries to get in a good amount of fats, protein and carbs - for good nutrition - but as soon as he finishes eating, and onward between meals, he is always craving all types of food. Sugary or salty. And he usually gives in to the cravings. He takes Chromium but that only helps with the sugar cravings. ~ In my response, I mention Metametrix ION profile for micronutrient testing, Is being hungry bad, and also the follow helpful carb craving resources: -VIDEO: 5 Powerful Calorie Control Tricks To Help You Eat Less Food. -VIDEO: 5 Ways To Suppress Your Appetite Without Taking Any Special Pills or Capsules. -PODCAST: How To Stop Carbohydrate Cravings In Their Tracks. -PODCAST: Inner Circle Free Episode: How To Stop Sugar & Carbohydrate Cravings In Their Tracks. -ARTICLE: A Simple Six-Step System for Eliminating Food Cravings. -ARTICLE: How To Fight Candy Cravings. Steven asks @ 00:45:28 He would like to know more about collagen supplements for joints and ligaments - specifically Type 2 Collagen. What do the studies say about it being absorbed? Is it helpful? How regularly do you need to take it? He is 49 and he likes working out. He is hoping this will help with overall tendon and ligament strength. ~ In my response, I mention Capraflex, also bioactive collagen peptides, and great lakes gelatin. Tom says @ 00:49:33 Every memorial day weekend he does a camping trip near a river and the pollen and mold kills his allergies. His nose gets congested and his eyes water. He has tried over the counter remedies but those don't mix well with adult beverages (put him down for the count). What would you recommend he do. ~ I recommend magnesium, vitamin C, and this podcast with Dr. David Minkoff on kids, asthma and allergies. Brandon asks @ 00:55:18 I recently started brewing beer at home, and wanted to know if there are any health benefits to non pasteurized brew. On the same note, I lift weights regularly and have heard alcohol is detrimental to muscle hypertrophy. I don't drink every day and when I do it's usually only one or two beers.
