Let's start with some exciting news! The brand-new ultimate audio collection: Ben Greenfield Fitness, Volumes 1 & 2 have been released as a 10 CD multi-disc set! Now you can listen to our audio episodes on the convenience of your home or car CD player. I've only ordered 100 of the sets, but you can get yours today by clicking here.

In this May 6, 2009 free audio episode, I interview Dr. Roby Mitchell, aka "Dr. Fitt" (pictured above). Dr. Mitchell graduated with honors from Texas Tech University School of Medicine in Lubbock, Texas and was selected to be the first medical student in an exchange program with Jinan University Medical School in mainland China. Over years of studying in both China and the United States, Dr. Mitchell has become an authority on nutritional medicine and bio-identical hormone replacement therapies in his own right. He served as a physician for the US Medical Triathlon Society, and even practiced as Chuck Norris's sparring partner! During our interview, Dr. Fitt discusses:

-the exact age that both men and women begin to lose hormones and suffer the results (hint: much younger than you think)

-the enormously important link between iodide, thyroid, fungi, and chronic inflammation

-the most common nutritional deficiencies Dr. Mitchell observes in his patients, and how he treats them

-visual and body cues that could easily warn you of potential signs of hypothyroidism, including why you need to pay attention to your toe and tongue temperature, and even the bags under your eyes

-the best test for identifying hormone deficiences that could be leading to chronic fatigue and low energy levels

-the top hormone deficiencies that many people aren't even aware could exist in their own bodies

-Dr. Mitchell's top two recommended books for the average person to learn more about bio-identical hormone replacement

-and much, much more!

Special Announcements in this episode:

-The FDA just issued a severe warning about the metabolic-boosting fat loss supplement "Hydroxycut". (Click here for more information about the release). This simply affirms the message that I have delivered from Day 1: it doesn't matter what your fat loss results are if they're not healthy. -A survey for you triathletes out there: why do you *really* do triathlon? Click here to read my controversial article about this question, and voice your opinions. -Don't be offended by the lack of clothing, but my new Shape21 style workout video is now out on the web. Check it out today, then hurry to register for the Shape21 63 Day Lean Body Challenge(must register by midnight on May 14, 2009).

Listener Q&A: Detailed answers featured in the May 6, 2009 free audio episode:

1. From listener Charles: "Ben, I am in fact lifting as you suggested- I'm actually very serious about including it my training routine. I was wondering if you could suggest a way to set up my workout schedule- for example, I'm usually doing some sort triathlon training 6 days a week and am additionally lifting about 4. But I'm not sure, to make real strength gains, what exercises I should really focus on and where I would want to keep my rep ranges? I don't know if you care, but recently I have been getting into Crossfit workouts. I think that creating a hybrid program that includes exercises of high weight and intensity/ low reps, followed by a Crossfit style workout might be the best for me."

Resources mentioned in my answer: Top 12 Resistance Training Routines for Endurance Athletes

2. From listener Karen: "Do you have any opinions on ice baths or cold water soaks?"

3. From listener Sal: "I am a serious marathon runner, and I currently use creatine in my training. I use it for several reasons. 1) It seems to be relatively safe with no side effects 2) Ill take anything that helps recovery 3) I currently do lower body work and core work in the gym, and i believe creatine helps me build those muscles However, creatine also causes me to carry extra water weight. I have heard that creatine does this, and I have noticed it myself. I carry a substantial amount of water weight around my midsection. After a long run where I sweat alot, I can see my abs, but if I take creatine and go a day or so without sweating, there is alot of bloating in my abs. I am worried that during taper this will have a negative effect. When I rest for my marathon, should I stop taking creatine? Or do I need to stop a few weeks in advance to get it out of my system. I want to get the benefits of it without carrying extra weight during the race. Also, will there be any problems with stopping taking it, like withdrawal symptoms? I currently take about 5g after workotus and 3g on non workout days in the morning."

Websites mentioned in my answer: CreO2 from Millennium Sports

From Listener Kelsey: "I raced Ironman Canada last year and I've had some complications as a result. After some terrible coaching and poor nutrition advice I had a very difficult race. I gained more weight in the year I was training for IMC then I had in previous years sitting on the couch. A month before IMC I was diagnosed with a stress fracture on both of my tibias, I cut back running for the last month and pushed myself through the run on race day. As you can imagine the run was long and cold. 8 months later and the fracture is still far from healed. I've moved to a new city and have been struggling to find medical support. I've been off running since the race, on my bike as often as possible but would love to heal these suckers soon. Living in Victoria BC means I have access to some unbelievable running trails and it's killing me not to get on them Any recommendations for stretches, supplements (note: I have a diary allergy so I take a calcium, multi and Vit K daily) exercises anything that may help move this injury forward."

Websites mentioned in my answer: Capraflex from Mt. Capra and Osteodenx from Nikken

Cutting-Edge Regenerative Medicine, Budget-Friendly Biohacks, The *Truth* About Vegetable Oils, Optimizing Health Like a Battery?!, Ketogenic Diet Insights & More: The Most Listened-To Episodes of 2024

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!
