Why Strong People Are Harder To Kill (And How To Get Strong).
I think I first heard it from a Navy SEAL that "Strong People Are Harder To Kill". And you're going to learn all about why that is in today's podcast, with my guest Keith Norris. At 15, Texan Keith was already involved in one of the premier fitness and weight training scenes in the country Powerhouse Gym, a legendary bodybuilding, training, and powerlifting mecca in San Antonio that launched the careers of athletes like Ms. Olympia Rachel McLish, Lori Bowen-Rice, Jeep Swenson and many others. A knee injury derailed Keith’s career as a linebacker at Texas State, but his experience rehabbing and working with some of the best strength coaches in the country continued to increase his interest in intelligent body development. In the mid 90s Keith competed in AAU Bodybuilding and won the title of Mr. Virginia and runner-up to Mr. America. In 2010, after navigating a successful 9 year military and 15 year corporate career, Keith was finally able to follow up on his lifelong dedication to training and come on board Efficient Exercise as a partner and regional manager.Keith, along with his wife, Michelle are two Their tireless work promoting Paleo principles is what allowed them to reach out to Paleo celebrities like Robb Wolf and Mark Sisson to pull together 2012 & 2013’s super symposiums, Paleo f(x)™. Anyone who attended Paleo f(x)™ could quickly see from the line of athletes, peers, and wide-eyed newbies that lined up to speak to Keith, after his presentations, that he is truly on the pulse of new exciting developments in the fitness field.Along with his wife Michelle, Keith also blogs at "Ancestral Momentum - Theory to Practice" and is one of the leading figures in the exploding Paleo nutrition and health movement as the founder of the Paleo f(x) conference. In this episode, you'll learn: -Why “strong people are harder to kill”... -How women and endurance athletes can keep from getting bulky when getting strong... -Keith's unique approach to building strength and how to match your body's force production curve... -How you can strike a balance between constantly being in an anabolic state, and the life extending benefits of things like intermittent fasting and calorie restriction... -How many sets and reps you need to get as strong as possible... -The best supplements for strength building... Resources Keith and I discuss during this episode include: -Paleo f(x), April 24-26th 2015. The can’t-miss conference that is the Who’s Who gathering of the Paleo movement, with world-class speakers including best-selling authors, physicians, nutritionists, research scientists, professional athletes, trainers, sustainability and food activists, biohackers, and more. -ARXFit.com strength training equipment. -CREO2 Creatine (use 50% discount code MSTBG09). -Amino Acid and Muscle Gain Supplements Do you have questions about how to get strong, or why strong people are harder to kill?

Audio Question from Annie @ 00:18:44 Wants to learn more about glutathione. Will it protect the brain if it is taken by IV before and after surgery? ~ In my response, I mention acetyl-glutathione. And combining a full spectrum antioxidant such as Lifeshotz with a liver cleanse such as CapraCleanse. Audio Question from Debbie @ 00:29:33 Wants to know what the least amount of time is that she needs to workout to maintain a good level of fitness and health. She doesn't race or compete and also doesn't have a lot of extra time in her day. She is currently following Ben's "Shape 21" workout program. Craig asks @ 00:40:45 I have both an EmWave 2 and an iThlete. How do you use your EmWave to help you determine whether or not you are overtraining? I use the iThlete for this purpose but it sounds like you prefer the EmWave 2. Also, I travel nearly every week and find it stressful. A friend asked me "why is it stressful?" I wasn't sure how to respond. In your opinion, why is travel stressful and what can you do to mitigate this? ~ Craig is referring to this emWave2. In my response to Craig I recommend SweetBeat HRV monitoring, for which you need: phone app, chest strap, and ant+ adapter. I also recommend the Stress Check app from Azumio. Kathy wrote @ 00:52:46 Ben, I heard you mention that you've been swimming with a snorkel after a podcast guest said he uses one for training. I was in a bike accident not too long ago and fractured a couple of vertebrae. I get a little achy from the twisting motion of breathing while swimming, so lately, I've been doing most of my swimming with a snorkel. I have noticed I have more feel for body position. But I've also found that I'm slower by 5 sec/100m, which I find surprising. Perhaps I'm not rotating enough, since I'm not breathing to the side? Any thoughts on that or additional advice on training with a snorkel? ~ In my response to Kathy, I mention this Finis snorkel. Tricia asks @ 00:57:28 I have neuromas in both of my feet that only bother me when I run. I have been seeing a podiatrist for about 4 months and have been getting a series of "alcohol" based shots. I also have custom orthotics for my running shoes. I have had some improvement from the shots but still have some discomfort. Surgery is my next option and I wanted to know your thoughts on neuroma surgery and recovery and if I could do both feet at once? ~ In my response to Tricia, I mention metatarsal buttons, metatarsal pads, and orthotics. Jim wrote @ 01:02:16 Hey, could you talk about in an upcoming podcast about what the prescriptions Prilosec (omeprazole) for acid reflux and Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) for ADHD do to athletes? I am mainly a road bicycle racer, but do a duathlon and triathlon every so often. ~ In my response to Jim, I reference this paper on ADHD treatment. I also recommend reviewing this free book on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. And also: - 2 to 4 scoops CapraColostrum per day - 4 to 6 drops oil of oregano per day, 1-3x/day - Hydrochloric acid – start at 1 and work up to 5-7x650mg/day. Recommend NOW Foods Betaine HCL. - If H. Pylori, include 2-3 capsules mastic gum per day. Recommend Jarrow Formulas Mastic Gum. - Bitters. Recommend Floradix Herbal Bitters, 1-2 servings daily. Regarding ADHD, I also mention some of my recommended brain supplements, including these Brain (supplements): - 1 TianChi per day (Chinese Adaptogenic Herb complex) on empty stomach - 2 to 6g/day triglyceride based fish oil – recommend SuperEssentials - Acetyl-L-carnitine – 500mg, 1x/day – recommend 1-2 servings “NutraRev” per day - Alpha-lipoic-acid, 100mg, 1x/day - recommend 1-2 servings “NutraRev” per day - For depression/lack of motivation – 3000mg Tyrosine + 300mg 5-HTP It is HIGHLY recommended that you do neurotransmitter testing before experimenting with these particular supplements, but for neurotransmitter balance (behavioral issues, depression, etc.), you can start with 4 NeuroReplete (to balance catecholamines and increase serotonin), twice daily (in the AM and at 4 PM) with 2 CysReplete (for L-Cysteine to increase catecholamine synthesis or when using D-5 Mucuna), three times daily (the first dose at noon). Read the Kalish Method book or talk to Ben before experimenting too much with this stuff.

The Shocking Truth About Vaccinations: Everything You Need To Know About Vaccines And Your Health.
In Podcast #305, I broached the controversial topic of vaccines by discussing alternative vaccination schedules. That set off a firestorm of discussion on the Facebook page and my Twitter feed, so in today's episode I've decided to revisit the topic, and you're about to take a deep dive into the world of vaccines, learn the shocking truth about vaccinations, and get everything you need to know to make an educated choice about vaccines. My guest on today's show is Stephanie Seneff, who is a Senior Research Scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. For over three decades, her research interests have always been at the intersection of biology and computation: developing a computational model for the human auditory system, understanding human language so as to develop algorithms and systems for human computer interactions, as well as applying natural language processing (NLP) techniques to gene predictions. But in recent years, Dr. Seneff has focused her research interests back towards biology. She is concentrating mainly on the relationship between nutrition and health. Since 2011, she has written over a dozen papers (7 as first author) in various medical and health-related journals on topics such as modern day diseases (e.g., Alzheimer, autism, cardiovascular diseases), analysis and search of databases of drug side effects using NLP techniques, and the impact of nutritional deficiencies and environmental toxins on human health. -How the history of vaccinations is much, much different than what we've been led to believe... -Why kids actually need to get measles, mumps and rubella... -How vaccines can cause a sulfate deficiency and why that's a problem... -The truth about the Andrew Wakefield, vaccines and autism scandal... -Why mercury and aluminum aren't really a problem when it comes to MMR vaccines, and what really is the problem... -What you need to know about ingredients like thimerosal and formaldehyde... -Alternatives to vaccines for yourself, for children and for babies... Resources from this episode: -Suzanne Humphries - Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History (book) -List of foods that contain glyphosate, including corn, soy, canola and sugar beets (article) -VAERs database of adverse reactions to vaccinates (website) Do you have questions, comments or feedback about vaccines?

The Shocking Truth About The Global Epidemic Of Lyme Disease
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?
