Featured Topic: How To Conquer The Toughest Sport On Earth.

This episode's interview is with Renegade Triathlon Psychology coach Stephen Ladd (pictured right), who recently wrote How To Train Your Brain for Life, Workout & Sports Success and has taken a somewhat unorthodox path to becoming one of most sought after gurus in the world when it comes to training your brain for peak performance. His formal education in the States included undergraduate studies in psychology, religion, and philosophy, and Graduate studies in Comparative Religions. He then ventured outside of the US to experience the cultures and mind practices of Southeast Asia and Japan.

The methods that I teach in my Renegade Triathlon Psychology program go way above and beyond what you'll learn in this podcast. This program is the only product of its kind on the market today, utilizing the best alternative sports psychology technologies to empower you to take control of your mental training and perform consistently at the peak of your genetics and skill levels.

Listener Q&A:

Prior to asking your question, PLEASE be considerate and do a search in upper right hand corner of this website for the keywords associated with your question. 90% of the questions we receive have already been asked and answered here at BenGreenfieldFitness.com!

====================================== [contact-form-7 id="6222" title="Ask Ben"] ======================================

Michal has a call in question about Shaklee nutrition products: My wife just received a gift of a bunch of different Shaklee products. 2 of these products which I snagged are their "physique recovery shake" and "perform hydration drink". Do you know much about these 2 products? Are they safe?

Tony asks: I've a query about snacks; You advocate Larabars, which I like, however I've spotted Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch Gluten Free bars which are substantially lower in sugar when compared with the Larabar; 6g vs 19g. Obviously the sugary ingredients in Larabars are mainly dates and sugar is listed on the Nature Valley product, so which in your opinion is a better bet to grab in the convenience store for a quick energy pick me up?

Alan asks: I just listened to your pod the other day talking about smoke points of oils and had a practical question. I use olive oil or coconut oil to fry up eggs every morning. i have no idea how hot the oil gets or how i would find out. should i be concerned or cook at a mid range temp on my stove instead of higher? any general suggestions or guidelines?

Matthew asks: I just listened to the Podcast about electrolytes/sports drinks/water. The conclusions about electrolytes are amazing,though that doesn't change the fact about sugars and nutrition during exercise. Yes electrolytes aren't needed in sports drinks, but does that mean that sport drink formulas have to be re-vamped? Do the electrolytes do anything for the absorption/breakdown of say the malodextrin in Heed or simple sugars of Gatorade? durianrider asks: besides obese fad diet followers that believe you can be in great shape as an athlete on 400-600calories of carbs a day, do you know any REAL athletes that ONLY eat 400-600cals of carbs per day? Are you trying to tell us that you can restore glycogen on 400-600cals of carbs a day and eat lots of fat and protein AND recover in 24hours? lol! You need to playback the Doug Graham interview and learn some basic human physiology.

Ed asks: love to do triathlon, but I'm afraid of swimming in the ocean or lake. I swim an 1hour, twice a week in a pool that is 12ft deep, can you help me, or give me some idea's of what to do, to overcome my fear.

Cody asks: Every time I run, (mainly to stay in shape and train for basketball) I experience shin pain. Im not quite positive it is shin splints though, it starts almost instantly when I start my run, and never really gets worse, its a mild pain but enough to get me to stop running way sooner then I should be stopping. But the weird thing is when I play football and basketball or any other activity that involves me running, I dont get this pain which is what makes me question rather or not its is shinsplints. So to sum it all up when I run its unavoidable (for the past year and a half) but anything else it never happens.

Chris asks: Hi Ben, in the past, you've recommended avoiding all sugars and starches for those active people looking to finally achieve that 6-pack, and who are already fairly lean. My question is about what to eat while avoiding sugars and starches. But what would the diet of an active person look like without sugar and starches, and how long would that person need to do that? My other concern is energy levels and motivation to workout, motivation suffering the most when I feel out of energy. Will trying to look good affect my ability to train my body? I also mentioned I experimented with severe carb restriction a few times (veggies only carb source), and always experience equalibrium loss within a few days until I started eating carbs again. What's the deal with that?

Finally, listener Ashley calls in about the Triathlon Dominator.

As 2024 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on a journey that has been nothing short of extraordinary. This year alone, the podcast hit over 4,800,000 downloads—reminding me of the incredible community we’ve built together. When I started nearly two decades ago, the podcasting world was a far cry from the global phenomenon it is today. Back then, it was a fledgling medium—an experiment to see if people would connect with raw, unfiltered conversations (in my case, about health, fitness, and the human experience). Fast forward to today—it’s incredible to see how this space has evolved. Through this growth, I’ve been privileged to host podcasts twice a week, year after year, producing thousands of episodes. What began with shows like Endurance Planet, Get-Fit Guy, Rock Star Triathlete Academy, Train For Top Dollar, and Ben Greenfield Fitness has blossomed into a legacy of content that explores not just the edges of human performance but the very heart of what it means to live a boundless life. As we look ahead to 2025, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and excitement. The mountains ahead are even taller, the challenges greater, and the opportunities more boundless than ever. Thank you for being part of this journey—cheers to another year of discovery, growth, and transformation! To recap how far we've come together, I welcome you to a special edition "Best of 2024" episode! In this show, you’ll get to revisit the year's most compelling insights, cutting-edge therapies, and transformative lifestyle strategies. Join me as we explore practical tips, personal routines, and strategies designed to optimize your health, longevity, and vitality. From using advanced tools like PEMF mats and smart home setups to my systematic approach to high-intensity interval training, intermittent fasting, and targeted supplementation, you’ll get to uncover actionable insights for limitless life optimization. This episode isn’t just a recap of the best of 2024—it’s a roadmap for how you can elevate your health, performance, and longevity in 2025. Let’s dive in!
