Listener Q&A:

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Skywalker Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick and Audio Ninja.

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 ;)

Mastering Sleep, Biohacking & Peptides: A Data-Driven Approach to Longevity with Boris Berjan

Mastering Sleep, Biohacking & Peptides: A Data-Driven Approach to Longevity with Boris Berjan

I was recently at a health conference and ducked into a hotel room to sit down for a fascinating episode with Boris Berjan, for an episode during which you'll get to explore the powerful role of chronotypes and "zeitgebers"—external cues like light, food, and temperature that regulate your biological rhythm—in optimizing sleep patterns, particularly if you're on the move across different time zones. The word zeitgeber, originating from the German zeit (time) and geber (giver), refers to the environmental signals that help synchronize your internal clock with the external world. Boris and I dive into the hierarchy of sleep, exercise, and nutrition, breaking down how these essential pillars shape the foundation of true health and longevity. Beyond the physical, we explore the deeper connections between spirituality, purpose, and the pursuit of an extended, meaningful life. Whether you're looking to refine your health, expand your knowledge, or explore the intersection of science and spirituality, this episode is packed with insights to help you on your journey.
