He has a question on adrenal fatigue, he knows we have covered it in a bunch in the past but he was wondering when about 80% of the time he's feeling good, and the other 20% the symptoms are still present, what would be your take on how to get rid of these last few hurdles? He sees that he when he works out super hard the next day he has a longer period of time when he's not feeling greatest his because his body shouldn't be pushed this hard or because he's doing other things wrong, like not using adequate supplementation etc? In my response, I recommend: - - How Fasting Is Different For Females Janelle says: She wants to thank you for years of great podcasts. As she wants to lose some weight, she's interested in intermittent fasting, but she's hesitant due to some research on how it messes with females hormones. She's post-menopausal, so her hormones are already low, but her morning cortisol is 24 which is high. What are your recommendations to pre and post-menopausal females with regards to intermittent fasting and would you suggest it for someone with elevated AM cortisol?

She was recently having a good conversation with a friend of hers who is her local health, fitness and nutrition resource. He's not super on board with the vegan lifestyle, but he supports her and always has great suggestions for how she can maximize nutrition in day to day life. His primary concern is Glutamine because she is focusing on fitness in a big way. As a conditionally essential amino acid this is something she doesn't get in a normal whole-foods, plant-based eating plan. She'd love to know your take on the situation, whether plant foods can be a sustainable source or Glutamine or whether she will need to supplement, and any other advice you have.

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code)     --------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: ====================================== [contact-form 3 "AskBen"] ====================================== Armi: I had a question about algae derived DHA and it's benefits. Your podcast guest K.C. talked about how is best, but what about something like Udo's Choice DHA? Also, have you heard of Astaxanthin? In my response to Arni, I mention the new here. Graeme asks: What are your thoughts on Ab Wheels - the type where you have a handle on either side of a single wheel and you roll out virtually to a plank position and then roll back in. Good for ab recruitment or a waste of time? Tony asks: I read an interesting article about Frankenfoods: http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_22991.cfm . How does something like this fall on your morals and teachings? DawnF asks: My husband was told today by his doctor that his HDL was too low, and that he should exercise and take niacin. (I've been trying to get him to do more than walk on the treadmill when I'm lifting weights and running in the gym, but he won't listen. Maybe now!) Anyway, would more strenuous exercise raise his HDL, and what do you think of niacin? He had open-heart surgery when he was in his late 30's (he's 52 now) so cardiac health is a concern. Thanks! Danny asks: I have been training with weights and recently lost a lot of muscle weight. Not too happy about that. As as result I have been reading about overtraining. Listening to your podcast gave me detailed information regarding muscle response to training. Thank you! This whole CNS response is something that is unfamiliar to me. Do you have a couple minutes to discus this on an upcoming podcast? How does one know if their CNS is fully recovered and ready for more weight training? Cathy asks: I am an active 46 yr old woman who is reasonably fit but working to improve fitness, strength and my running (5-10k). I feel I need some more focused strength training so I've decided to invest in some dumbbells to work with at home. However, I'm a little worried that I might over or under buy, not to mention some practical space considerations. I've narrowed it down to either 10-35 lb set of rubber hex dumbbells with rack, or a set of Ironmaster adjustables (5-75 lbs). I'm a gearhead and believe in buy once, cry once for quality, but don't know whether the Ironmasters would be more than I need despite the space savings. I have exceptional upper body strength and have enjoyed heavier lifting over the years, but get bored easily and enjoy a lot of variation to keep me motivated. The difference in price between these two options is not as big a deal as getting something that I can get maximal use of over the years. What would you recommend? Thanks! kim asks: If I can only afford cheap should I take that or just not take ? Lisa asks: Hi Ben. I heard on another podcast that a weight plateau is due to apoptosis of omental, belly fat. I cant find any references to learn more about this. Do you think cell apoptosis explains why a wt loss stagnates for a short while? Ginette asks: Presently, I am reading that you recommended. It is a very interesting read. I teach a unit on evolution, and nutrition, and my degree is in biochemistry so the book is a nice fit. Of the many interesting things I came across, was the mention of artificial sweeteners elevating insulin levels. Is this true? Also, will stevia have the same effects? Andrei asks: Hi Ben, what do you think about compression gear? Do they really work? And what's best, compression calf guards, compression socks, compression tights? Do you really need different ones for recovery or training? And are you using any? Zach J asks: I injured my shoulder doing dumbbell swings improperly late last November. It's healing, but it's a long, slow process. Just when it starts feeling pretty good, something I do will set it off again and it will hurt for a few days. Most recently, I was able to get into a pool and a couple laps of breast stroke made it ache for a few days. It handled the crawl alright though. My question is what are some ways I can a) speed healing of the rotator cuff, and b) still get a good, effective upper body workout without putting too much strain on that shoulder. Seems like every good upper body exercise (presses, rows, flies, etc) all stress the rotator cuff to one degree or another. Dale asks: In he stated that plastic bottles leach chemicals into the water in the bottle. He also stated color made a difference on how much chemical is leached. My bottle says it's bpa free. Do I need to throw it out? Could you please elaborate? Josh Cox asks: I recently got a ton of tests done from a naturopathic doctor as I was constantly feeling lethargic, having sleep problems, as well as having a noticeable decline in my training performance (power output/low heart rate). Everything came out great except for my testosterone levels which is the main reason I got testing done. I had a hunch they were low (10.5 on a scale of 9-30). I also had an excessive amount of AST enzymes being produced (47 on a scale of 8-35). I'm only 22 years old and am currently training for some Ironman 70.3's, putting in around 20hrs a week. I'm pretty sure I hit a phase of overreaching/over-training, so I took a few days off due to the symptoms I described above. Anyhow, the doctor prescribed me to try out coconut oil an flaxseed oil for three months to see if that would help increase my testosterone and decrease my inflammation. I also bought some tribulus to, possibly, help as well. Is there anything else you would try if you were in my shoes? P.S. I know you're an advocate of high intensity training, but I have some extra time at the moment so long sessions work fine for me. And I love lengthy sessions outside; not really willing to give that up, ha. Jerry has a call-in question about Ironman Training.

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 .

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 . 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.

He is a martial artist and a weight lifter. Was a high carb paleo isn't anymore. Has incorporated grains, sprouts, etc… His morning bowel movements are explosive (it isn't diarrhea but the urge to go comes on quickly and there is a feeling of he'd be in trouble if he weren't at home) and make a pile vs. a log. He usually poops one more time in the afternoon around 3-4pm. Has heard logs are better than piles. Wants to know how to firm up his stool. He has no problems like stomach aches, gas, loud stomach, etc. He feels fine all the time! He thinks he does all the so-called "right things" and yet still is having poorly formed poo! PS: He has never eaten breakfast. He eats lunch and dinner so he gets all his calories in two meals (about 3000 calories daily). ~ In my response, I mention this , eliminating as much as possible, and also the book: "". Brock mentions Scientific American's . Horacio writes: Hi Ben, odd question coming: I happen to travel on planes very frequently so I spend a lot of hours in airports and there are no gyms there (perhaps a biz opportunity?). What good workouts can be done when I have a good 2-3 hours of waiting for my next flight? (while avoiding being deported for public disorder). ~ In my response to Horatio, I recommend and the . I also mention any of my and . Anderson asks: I was listening to some old episodes and I remember that you said in one of them that we have to eat every 1.5 - 3 hours to have the "thermogenic effect" of food. But on the Fat Loss Secrets Seminar you said we don't need to have a lot of snacks, elevate the blood sugar all the time, there's no evidence of benefits of this practice. So, how many meals should I eat? I don't know if that changes something but I have skinny genetics and want to gain muscle. Of course I know I need to lift some weights. ~ In  my response, I mention the article . Giles says: I have found an online health supplement company here in the UK, , and wanted to get your take on the "super smoothie mix" the guy is touting. The reviews for it are great and plenty of, pardon the terminology, tree hugger types seem to rave about it. Could I ask your opinion of whether this could be a good product to include in my diet. Bert asks: Your comments on diet soda have me motivated to drop my litre to two litre a day habit... don't think I can go straight to water. I have seen a few of these new "water additives" like Mio. Let me add this variable: I need the solution to be easy. If it isn't easy, I most likely won't make the lifestyle transition; which sounds odd as I used to weight 310 lbs and could not walk to the end of the street but am now a 3:20 marathon runner. The key for me was that I made one "easy" change at a time. Cameron asks: You answered a question a while ago about other fats that would be good to include in her diet by discussing the smoke point, saturation level and propensity for oxidation during cooking and/or for colder uses. One thing struck me though. You said to avoid fats that are "completely unsaturated" and "don't have any of the hydrogens" like canola, corn and sunflower oil. My understanding is that these fatty acids have omega 3's, 6's, 9's but no more than three double bonds per fatty acid. That means that all of the rest of the hydrogens (26 out of 30) are still there. Considering that, when I look at the composition of fatty acids in canola, safflower and sunflower the composition of specific monounsaturated fatty acids are different but not substantially. Is it possible that for cold applications each of these oils are perfectly fine? ~ In my response I mention these videos:  How canola oil is made:   How butter is made   Emily asks:I was wondering if you were familiar with "healing touch". I have heard there has been some research but I'm not sure how legitimate the studies are. Also, I struggle with eating enough during long runs, marathons or longer. I typically don't eat gels during training and try to supplement during races. They don't upset my stomach I just don't like eating while running. Have any recommendations on liquids or mental techniques to push myself to eat enough. I've noticed that I do sometimes get irritable towards the end of long runs, which I've heard you mention can be a sign of low blood sugar.
