How To Measure Your Neurotransmitters. Karin says: She wants to know what you think of the Pharmasan Labs Urinalysis kit for measuring neurotransmitters. She ordered one from her naturopath but then heard it as a scam. She is trying to manage her anxiety naturally. In my response I recommend: -Primal Body-Primal Mind (pages 279-284) -using mood/symptomatic screening to guide amino acid supplementation with something like Aminos or MAP Downhill Running Tips. Downhill Girl says: She has spent her off season recovering from an IT Band issue (fixing some muscle imbalances) and is now training for a spring marathon. Her A-Race has a lot of downhill and she is worried about re-injuring her IT band by actually training on hills. Are there other ways to train for downhill running other than running downhill?   Is Kratom A Healthy Sleep Aid? Abby says: She is wondering if she should be worried about using Kratom as a sleep aid. She has tried almost everything else - but this plant actually works for her. She has read some scary stuff online about it. Should she be worried? In my response I recommend: -Vapor Boost Sweet Dreams blend -Valerian Root Why Weightlifting Shoes Have An Elevated Heel. Cory says: He would like to know why powerlifting shoes have an elevated heel. Wouldn't that promote Achilles tightness and change your biomechanics? Also, when you squat do you do it with no shoes on - for increased foot strength and balance?   What It Means If Just One Of Your Armpits Smell. Allie says: She knows we like poop questions but here is a pit question. She doesn't wear deodorant and doesn't usually have an issue with BO but when she gets stressed or excited she notices that only one of her armpits gets smelly. Why would it only be one? She is glad to have people like us to ask these types of pressing questions ;)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I recently watched the documentary Under Our Skin, which exposes the hidden story of medical and scientific malfeasance and neglect when it comes to Lyme disease. Thousands of people with Lyme disease go undiagnosed, or get misdiagnosed each year, and many who suffer the troubling effects of Lyme disease are simply told that their symptoms - from brain fog to chronic fatigue to frustrating muscle and joint pains - are “all in their head.” The film follows patients fighting for their lives and livelihoods, and brings into focus a haunting picture of a health care system that is all too willing to put profits ahead of patients. I found the film so incredibly interesting that I decided to interview health advocate Erin Elizabeth, who has actually had Lyme disease and dealt with it via completely natural remedies. In this episode, you'll discover: -Why common tests for Lyme disease won't work, and which test actually does work... -Why you can have Lyme disease and not even know it... -How comment, conventional treatments for Lyme disease can actually be harmful... -The best natural remedies for Lyme disease... -How to manage the weight gain that can accompany Lyme disease... -And much more! Resources: -Dr. Klinghart's full Lyme disease protocol -Dr. Mercola's article on Lyme disease -Under Our Skin documentary on Lyme disease -IGeneX.com lab for lyme "Western blot" test -My "REV Yourself" interview with Dr. Mercola -Erin's website and free e-book "In the Lymelight" at HealthNutNews.com Do you have questions, comments or feedback about Lyme disease or natural remedies for Lyme disease?

But, she has high blood pressure (her doc says she "has the gene") although she doesn't have the lifestyle factors. Should she be worried about using an inversion table with high blood pressure? In my response I recommend: -Teeter Hangups -Normatec Recovery Boots -Our lowering high blood pressure episode When Does Biohacking Go Too Far? Girlfriend says: My boyfriend is an avid follower of you. If I break it down simply -- he will do anything you say in your podcast or blog. I'd be lying if I didn't say I have some resentment that he listens to you more than me... :) I've watched my boyfriend swallow a dozen amino acid/or whatever pills in one gulp, wear orange glasses everywhere he goes, keep the thermostat at a chilly 60 degrees, and replace all his lights with red light bulbs.  You speak about better love & relationships, but I have this digging feeling that he's unwilling to compromise, and yes, I'll say it, obsessed with optimizing his life. Do you have any advice? Shouldn't there be a balance to this? In my response I recommend: -The book "Just Enough" How To Get Rid Of Flat Feet Mike says: During a triathlon he felt a twinge in the bottom of his foot. After going to a podiatrist he was diagnosed with PTTD (Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction or “adult acquired flatfoot”). He is wondering if there is something he can do to treat that and his general tendon health. In my response I recommend: -Toe Spreaders Is Miso Healthy? Ellie says: She eats a lot of miso. She squirts it pretty thickly on her sandwiches. Is there any problem with this other than getting a lot of sodium?   Hidden Carbs In Vegetables Judith says: She wants to know about Green Leafy Vegetables. Can you get too many carbs from them? She heard that some people limit them... why would they do that?   ----------------------------------------------------- -- And don't forget to go to BenGreenfieldFitness.com/love!--See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last month, my wife and I traveled to Israel with Vibe Israel, an organization that brings international on- and offline opinion leaders in health and nutrition on a weeklong personalized experience of the burgeoning wellness scene in Israel. I've already released two valuable lessons I learned on that Israel journey: "5 Things You Can Learn From The Burgeoning Health, Wellness And Nutrition Scene In Israel" and "Why You Get Cancer And What You Can Do About It". Today, you get to listen in as I interview one of the most amazing individuals I met on the Israel trip - a man named Alik Pelman. Alik completed his PhD in philosophy at the University of London and then took a break from academic life and went to learn how to grow food, becoming a professional organic farmer for two years. Alik then set up his own self-sufficient home in the small village of Clil, in Western Galilee. I had the pleasure of visiting him in his small hut, built almost entirely from local, natural materials. This is where he grows virtually all of his food, and spends most of his working hours doing farm chores, reading, writing and hosting curious visitors like me. In this show, you'll discover: -How to grow food on your roof... -How to use sheep's wool for insulation... -How to make walls out of completely edible corn flour porridge... -How to use natural oils to protect your floor and furniture... -How to build an efficient, composting toilet that uses no water... -How to easily rotate your garden crops for maximum yield... -How to grow and make your own bread, from seed to loaf... Resources from this episode: -Alik's video that documents all stages of growing your own bread - from seed to loaf... -Israel Homestead. pdf handout that walks you step-by-step through how he built his eco-friendly hut... -My How To Biohack Ultimate Healthy Home book... Do you have questions, comments or feedback about Alik, his life, his hut, and how to grown your own food?
