Podcasts about electrical stimulation

En este episodio, profundizamos en uno de los fenómenos más devastadores pero menos comprendidos en neurorrehabilitación: la denervación muscular tras una lesión medular. A través de una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura científica y de la experiencia clínica, abordamos qué ocurre realmente con los músculos que han perdido su inervación, cómo se transforman con el tiempo y qué posibilidades tenemos para intervenir. Hablamos sobre neurofisiología, degeneración axonal, fases de la denervación, y cómo la estimulación eléctrica —especialmente con pulsos largos— puede modificar el curso degenerativo incluso años después de la lesión. Exploramos también el Proyecto RISE, los protocolos clínicos actuales y las implicaciones terapéuticas reales de aplicar electroestimulación en músculos completamente denervados. Si trabajas en neurorrehabilitación o te interesa la ciencia aplicada a la recuperación funcional, este episodio es para ti. Referencias del episodio: 1. Alberty, M., Mayr, W., & Bersch, I. (2023).

Your body isn't broken - it's disconnected. The key to reconnecting? It's not in a pill bottle or another fad diet. It's your vagus nerve, and it's time we talk about it. You may have your diet and nutrition dialed in, but you can't truly heal without addressing this crucial piece of the puzzle. Why?    Because you're likely stuck in fight-or-flight mode, and your body needs to learn how to take its foot off the gas pedal. Unless you work on this, you'll never get better.    Period. Your chronic symptoms? Your "incurable" condition? That unexplained fatigue? They might all trace back to one overlooked nerve. This isn't just another health hack - it's essential in understanding your body. Your brain-body connection is REAL, and it's called the vagus nerve. It's time to tune into your vagus nerve and turn up your vitality.   Don't miss this game-changing episode dropping next week. No more chasing symptoms - learn how your vagus nerve could be the key to unlocking your body's true healing potential. It's time to stop accepting "good enough" and start demanding optimal health.

Nicki Driscoll, PhD is a post-doc researcher at MIT, and CTO of NeuroBionics, a company that has developed a new kind of neural interface using microscale, flexible, bioelectronic fibers that seamlessly integrate with the body. Have you ever seen a fiber optic cable? Imagine a tiny strand that is as thin as a human hair. Each fiber integrates a range of functions, such as electrical, chemical, and optical capabilities to sense and modulate the biological environment. This gives us unprecedented access into the “symphony” of a properly functioning brain (something we'll talk about later that is ultra ultra cool…) and also a better understanding of the brain when it's not functioning properly.

Welcome to Part 2 of this discussion on CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome), where you'll uncover some of the misinformation out there surrounding pain managing strategies used for CRPS. In the world of CRPS, pain managing strategies are not all created equal. I wish I could they we're all no harm, no foul, but the truth is, there are some pain management strategies that, while they may relieve pain in the short term, have a long lasting, negative impact on your condition because they may exacerbate the underlying issue. In this episode, I'm clearing up some of the misinformation surrounding:- Electrical Stimulation for CRPS- Pain Numbing Remedies (like ice, numbing creams, nerve blocks, injections, ablations, lidocaine patches, and opioid medications)- Ketamine for CRPS- Immobilization (physical or functional)- Physical Therapy- Modalities- Desensitization therapy- Vagus nerve stimulation Listen to Part 1 Here: https://www.alissawolfe.com/podcasts/the-chronic-pain-breakup/episodes/2148050961 Stay tuned for Part 3!!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.08.01.551431v1?rss=1 Authors: Misselhorn, J., Fiene, M., Radecke, J.-O., Engel, A. K., Schneider, T. R. Abstract: Attentional control over sensory processing has been linked to neural alpha oscillations and related pulsed inhibition of the human cortex. Despite the wide consensus on the functional relevance of alpha oscillations for attention, precise neural mechanisms of how alpha oscillations shape perception and how this top-down modulation is implemented in cortical networks remain unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that alpha oscillations in premotor cortex are causally involved in top-down regulation of visual cortex responsivity to contrast. We applied intermittent transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) over bilateral premotor cortex to manipulate attentional preparation in a visual discrimination task. tACS was applied at 10 Hz (alpha) and controlled with 40 Hz (gamma) and sham stimulation. Importantly, we used a novel linear mixed modeling approach for statistical control of neurosensory side-effects of the electric stimulation. We found a frequency-specific effect of alpha tACS on the slope parameter, leading to enhanced low-contrast perception and decreased perception of high-contrast stimuli. Side-effects affected both threshold and slope parameters, leading to high variability in parameter estimates. Controlling the impact of side-effects on psychometric parameters by linear mixed model analysis reduced variability and clarified the existing effect. We conclude that alpha tACS over premotor cortex mimicked a state of increased endogenous attention potentially by modulation of fronto-occipital connectivity in the alpha band. We speculate that this network modulation allowed for improved sensory readout from visual cortex which led to a decrease in psychometric slope, effectively broadening the dynamic range for contrast perception.

Dr. Prather says about 50% of the patients who come into his office have knee problems--the most common musculoskeletal complaint. Knee problems can cause additional issues in the feet and lower back. In this episode, we talk about:--Why Dr. Prather has a high success rate in treating knee issues.--How knee misalignment is the fundamental issue of knee problems (even AFTER surgery).--Why your low back pain might be caused by knee misalignment.--The effectiveness of treatments such as Chiropractic, Acupuncture. Electrical Stimulation, Ultrasound, and Diathermy.--How a torn meniscus can be healed without surgery, and why surgery does NOT fix a tear (but actually damages it more).--Why athletes should have chiropractic knee adjustments on a regular basis to avoid injury.--The various knee problems such as Osgood-Schlatter Disease, Patellar Tendinitis, Ligament injuries, Bursitis, and Arthritis.--Why a nutritional imbalance (low Copper, low Manganese, or low Vitamin C) can be a cause of knee problems.--The story of Terri who suffered from a very bad knee for over 20 years and did not want to have surgery. And how, after just a two to three weeks of treatment at Holistic Integration, she was able "to dance a little jig" because she was walking normally again.--The EFAC Cream that helps patients find relief from joint pain.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways Neuralink makes neural implants and delivers with a robotic insertion device that helps place tiny electrodes smaller than a human hair throughout a region of the brainNeuralink goals: Present – repair motor movement in people with spinal cord injury or paralysis using an external mouse and computer software to decode motor intentions (not connecting brain and motor movement just yet, for now, the focus is on establishing the agency in the movement of things in the world and eventually the body)Midterm – humans regaining control over some of the ways the brain goes wrong through addiction, depression, obesity, etc.Long-term – full expansion of human cognition into AI without limit, unrestricted communication (without phone), banding human minds togetherNeuroplasticity decreases with age but technology isn't necessarily the answer here because it involves altering the entire brain whereas machines are highly specialized and focusDon't worry about your Bluetooth headphones! It's unlikely there's enough energy to produce any harmAlcohol use is the most common source of brain damage many of us volunteer for – for every drink you have there is a linear increase in brain atrophy and neuron deathRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Matthew MacDougall, MD, the head neurosurgeon at Neuralink. Dr. MacDougall trained at the University of California, San Diego and Stanford University School of Medicine and is a world expert in brain stimulation, repair and augmentation. He explains Neuralink's mission and projects to develop and use neural implant technologies and robotics to 1) restore normal movement to paralyzed patients and those with neurodegeneration-based movement disorders (e.g., Parkinson's, Huntington's Disease) and to repair malfunctions of deep brain circuitry (e.g., those involved in addiction). He also discusses Neuralink's efforts to create novel brain-machine interfaces (BMI) that enhance human learning, cognition and communication as a means to accelerate human progress. Dr. MacDougall also explains other uses of bio-integrated machines in daily life; for instance, he implanted himself with a radio chip into his hand that allows him to open specific doors, collect and store data and communicate with machines and other objects in unique ways. Listeners will learn about brain health and function through the lens of neurosurgery, neurotechnology, clinical medicine and Neuralink's bold and unique mission.

You know I'm all about solving problems as fast as possible with the least amount of effort, and this episode is about just that. Today, I'm joined by Garrett Salpeter, a brilliant engineer and neuroscientist who started his company, NeuFit, back in 2009 and has not looked back since. We get to the shocking (and deeply healing) truth about direct current therapy, the inspirations behind his new home-use device which I am obsessed with, the Neubie, and go deep on the science of pain – revealing that pain is in fact felt on a much deeper level than what we might associate with it. If you're someone who's dealing with any of the following challenges, I highly recommend you give this one a full attention: plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, shin splints, knee ligament injury, hamstring strain, pulled groin strain, quad or hip flexor, back pain, neck pain – just about anything you can imagine in these categories of pain and injury. And for people who want a Neubie at home, like me, or if you're a pro practitioner that wants to integrate this into your own practice, there is a sweet deal waiting for you. NeuFit is generously offering $1,000 off a Neubie device if you order from neu.fit/luke. DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

Abstract: Peripheral nerve injuries are common, and there is a critical need for the development of novel therapeutics to complement surgical repair. Conditioning electrical stimulation (CES) is a novel variation to the well-studied perioperative electrical stimulation, both of which have displayed success in enhancing the regeneration of motor and sensory axons in an injured peripheral nerve. CES is a clinically attractive alternative not only because of its ability to be performed at the bedside prior to a scheduled nerve repair surgery, but it has also been shown to be superior to perioperative electrical stimulation in the enhancement of motor and sensory regeneration. However, the effects of CES on sympathetic regeneration are unknown. Therefore, we tested the effects of two clinically relevant CES paradigms on sympathetic axon regeneration and distal target reinnervation. Because of the long history of evidence for the enhancement of motor and sensory axons in response to electrical stimulation, we hypothesize that CES will also enhance sympathetic axon regeneration. Our results indicate that the growth of sympathetic axons is acutely inhibited by CES; however, at a longer survival time point post-injury, there is no difference between sham CES and the CES groups. There has been evidence to suggest that the growth of sympathetic axons is inhibited by a conditioning lesion, and that sympathetic axons may respond to electrical stimulation by sprouting rather than elongation. Our data indicate that sympathetic axons may retain some regenerative ability after CES, but no enhancement is exhibited, which may be accounted for by the inability of the current clinically relevant electrical stimulation paradigm to recruit the small-caliber sympathetic axons into activity. Further studies will be needed to optimize electrical stimulation parameters in order to enhance the regeneration of all neuron types. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.01.13.523921v1?rss=1 Authors: Alonso, F., Mercadal, B., Salvador, R., Ruffini, G., Bartolomei, F., Wendling, F., Modolo, J. Abstract: Intracranial electrodes are used clinically for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, notably in drug-refractory epilepsy (DRE) among others. Visualization and quantification of the energy delivered through such electrodes is key to understanding how the resulting electric fields modulate neuronal excitability, i.e. the ratio between excitation and inhibition. Quantifying the electric field induced by electrical stimulation in a patient-specific manner is challenging, because these electric fields depend on a number of factors: electrode trajectory with respect to folded brain anatomy, biophysical (electrical conductivity / permittivity) properties of brain tissue and stimulation parameters such as electrode contacts position and intensity. Here, we aimed to evaluate various biophysical models for characterizing the electric fields induced by electrical stimulation in DRE patients undergoing stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) recordings in the context of pre-surgical evaluation. This stimulation was performed with multiple-contact intracranial electrodes used in routine clinical practice. We introduced realistic 3D models of electrode geometry and trajectory in the neocortex. For the electrodes, we compared point (0D) and line (1D) sources approximations. For brain tissue, we considered three configurations of increasing complexity: a 6-layer spherical model, a toy model with a sulcus representation, replicating results from previous approaches; and went beyond the state-of-the-art by using a realistic head model geometry. Electrode geometry influenced the electric field distribution at close distances (~3 mm) from the electrode axis. For larger distances, the volume conductor geometry and electrical conductivity dominated electric field distribution. These results are the first step towards accurate and computationally tractable patient-specific models of electric fields induced by neuromodulation and neurostimulation procedures.

A., Huang, H., Lundstrom, B., Brinkmann, B., Pal Attia, T., Van Gompel, J., Bernstein, M. A., In, M.-H., Huston, J. I., Miller, K. J., Hermes, D. Abstract: Stimulation-evoked signals are starting to be used as biomarkers to indicate the state and health of brain networks. The human limbic network, often targeted for brain stimulation therapy, is involved in emotion and memory processing. Previous anatomical, neurophysiological, and functional studies suggest distinct subsystems within the limbic network (Rolls, 2015). Previous studies using intracranial electrical stimulation, however, have emphasized the similarities of the evoked waveforms across the limbic network. We test whether these subsystems have distinct stimulation-driven signatures. In seven patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, we stimulated the limbic system with single-pulse electrical stimulation (SPES). Reliable cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs) were measured between the hippocampus and the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and between the amygdala and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). However, the CCEP waveform in the PCC after hippocampal stimulation showed a unique and reliable morphology, which we term the limbic H-wave. This limbic H-wave was visually distinct and separately decoded from the amygdala to ACC waveform. Diffusion MRI data show that the measured endpoints in the PCC overlap with the endpoints of the parolfactory cingulum bundle rather than the parahippocampal cingulum, suggesting that the limbic H-wave may travel through the fornix, mammillary bodies, and the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT). This was further confirmed by stimulating the ANT, which evoked the same limbic H-wave but with a shorter latency. Limbic subsystems have unique stimulation-evoked signatures that may be used in the future to help develop stimulation therapies. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Abstract: Subsensory noise stimulation targeting sensory receptors has been shown to improve balance control in healthy and impaired individuals. However, the potential for application of this technique in other contexts is still unknown. Gait control and adaptation rely heavily on the input from proprioceptive organs in the muscles and joints. Here we investigated the use of subsensory noise stimulation as a means to influence motor control by boosting proprioception during locomotor adaptations to forces delivered by a robot. The forces increase step length unilaterally and trigger an adaptive response that restores the original symmetry. Healthy participants performed two adaptation experiments, one with stimulation applied to the hamstring muscles and one without. We found that participants adapted faster but to a lesser extent when undergoing subsensory stimulation. We argue that this behaviour is due to the dual effect that the stimulation has on the afferents encoding position and velocity that are present in the muscle spindles.

M., Neufeld, E., Acerbo, E., Carron, R., Williamson, A., Kurtin, D. L., Rhodes, E., Hampshire, A., Kuster, N., Boyden, E. S., Pascual-Leone, A., Grossman, N. Abstract: Temporal interference (TI) is a strategy for non-invasive steerable stimulation of neurons deep in the brain using multiple kHz-range electric fields with a difference frequency within the range of neural activity. Here we report the validation of the TI stimulation concept in humans. We used electric field modelling and measurements in a human cadaver to verify that the locus of the transcranial TI stimulation can be steerably focused in the hippocampus with minimal exposure to the overlying cortex. We then used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate physiological changes in hippocampal activity during stimulation. TI modulated hippocampal activity during the performance of an episodic memory task. In an additional study, prolonged exposure to TI stimulation improved episodic memory accuracy in a healthy human cohort. Our findings demonstrate the utility of TI stimulation by non-invasively modulating hippocampal neural activity in humans. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Did you know that pain is experienced differently by everyone?   In this episode of the Align podcast, Garrett and I chat about why an MRI scan may not show physicians and therapists everything they need to know about the source of chronic pain many patients experience. In fact, the psychological stressors we have within us could be just as much the culprit as something being physically and structurally wrong in the body. Garrett also explains how pain is something that is subjective and is tolerated differently by everyone, as we all separate psychological pain from physical pain differently.   Garrett Salpeter combined training in neuroscience and engineering to start NeuFit, a company at the nexus of neurology and fitness, dedicated to treating athletes and patients in the realization of fitness goals, effective rehabilitation, and improved overall health.   What we discuss:   02:18: What is electrical stimulation therapy? 10:10: What is pain? 19:07: Why does the pain feel different for everyone? 25:50: Is it possible to separate psychological pain from physical pain in the brain? 30:39: How do psychological stressors induce physical pain? 37:31: What methods does Garrett use and what are the starting points in the analysis? 40:09: What can the Neubie do that other tools can't? 51:53: What are some stumble blocks that Garrett has learned along this journey? 57:42: What are the differences between each device?   To learn more about Garrett:   Website: neu.fit Book:  The NeuFit Method: Unleash The Power of The Nervous System For Faster Healing and Optimal Performance Instagram: @neufitrfp   Related links:   The revised version of the Align Method book is now available with 22 brand-new exercises!

I know The Red Light Report isn't necessarily about highlighting nutrition, as there's thousands of those podcasts already. However, I did want to acknowledge National Vitamin C Day that occurred this week, so I take a quick dive into the history and benefits of one of the most popular vitamins in the world. Needless to say, you should be getting your daily vitamin C one way or another.Of course, I want to bring you the newest, cutting-edge photobiomodulation research available, so in this episode I will be highlighting three different articles. The first one, which I cover most in-depth, is about red light therapy (RLT) and how it can benefit the healing of tendons. Virtually 100% people on earth cross paths with a tendon injury at one point or another, with a high percentage eventually succumbing to chronic tendon injury/pain. So everyone will want to hear what this article has to say about RLT's benefits for tendon injuries.The subsequent two articles are so hot off the press that I could only get my hands on the abstracts. But regardless, the information and the results on what RLT can do to benefit Bell's palsy and temporomandibular joint disorder (i.e, jaw pain) is quite impressive — further uncovering more and more ways you can utilize red light therapy to your advantage.​​Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Vitamin deficiency and its effects  The sun's radiation and how our cells react Supplementing vitamin C IV vitamin C Maintaining your vitamin C naturally Light and tendon repair Light and Bell's palsy Red light therapy versus ultrasound for TMD Tendon tears Red light therapy and the tendon healing process LLLT (Low level laser therapy) - Citations:The Functions and Mechanisms of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Tendon Repair (Review) A Study on the Effect of 850 nm Low-Level Diode Laser versus Electrical Stimulation in Facial Nerve Regeneration for Patients with Bell's PalsyComparative efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to TENS and therapeutic ultrasound in management of TMDs: a systematic review & meta-analysis - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

In my quest to find alternative therapies and even medications to help mental health, I've been testing out a neurostimulation device that you wear for 20 minutes a day to treat insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Today's guest is Kelly Roman Co-founder and CEO of Fisher Wallace Laboratories which created the wearable neurostimulation device. He discusses how it works, its benefits, and its side effects.

Russ Campbell walks us through what electrical stimulation actually encompasses, what NMES is, and what the research says about E-stim as a treatment for dysphagia. The post 177 – Is Your “E-Stim” Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)? – Russell A Campbell PT and CEO of Ampcare, LLC appeared first on Swallow Your Pride Podcast.

You may have seen these advertised in commercials for fat loss, muscle performance and injury rehabilitation. The question is...do they really work? During our interview, I ask David the following questions: -What is the mechanism of action for estim to actually help with recovery or performance? -Can an estim unit actually maintain or enhance muscular fitness or endurance? -What about fat loss? Does electrical stimulation actually work as a fat loss enhancing tool? -Where can people actually get a home estim device? -What types of injuries or activities can estim be used for? -What are the guidelines for using a device, and should anybody avoid using electrical stimulation? Listen to the interview with David to find out the truth about electrical stimulation devices! --------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Do you have a question for Ben? Just call 1-877-209-9439 and leave a voicemail, leave a Skype voicemail to username "pacificfit", or e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com. Listener Patrick asks: "Ben, I have a question regarding MAP, the product you featured in Podcast Episode #26 as well as your most recent post on bengreenfieldfitness.com . I've seen the product advertised in magazines for some time now and have always been interested in its potential benefits. On a recent trip to the local health food store I saw several different amino acid supplements, all costing between $12-15 for a month's supply. What's more, they all claim a serving size to be 2-3 pills and caution use of more than 4-6, compared to MAP's 20-30 per day depending on age, size, diet and exercise load.What are your feelings on MAP vs. other amino acid replacement supplements? Is MAP the clear winner across the board? And does it justify the $53 + shipping price tag?" (click here to read Bens' previous post about MAP) Listener Amie asks: "I wondering what your thoughts are on a high protein diet.  I am not referrring to the Adkins.  There has been some "buzz" (agian) about high protein diets.  The suggestion for a typical day is oatmeal w/protein pwdr and soy milk for breakfast, then mid morning protein shake, 2 slices of whole grain bread w/thick layer of organic meat (poultry preferred) no mayo and veggies if you wish and then salad or steamed vegetable with brown rice and lean organic meat for dinner.  The days snacks suggestions are raw veggies and/or fruit or raw almonds. I have heard mixed feedback on whether this is an ideal lifestyle choice.  I recently heard too much protein (regardless of the carb combination) can be toxic, is that true?  And, will excess protein pack on the pounds (even if exercise regularly)?" Listener Miguel asks: "I have bought your book "Holistic Fueling for Ironman". I find that you are really capable to change people view about Powerbar and other brands that only care about profit. When I drink milk or eat whole wheat bread and then after 1-2h will head to a run most of the times I have GI distress. Does that mean that I have allergies to cow milk or wheat/gluten products?" Listener Lisa asks: "Just wanted to write in with a question of my own this week. It has to do with running gear. What are your thoughts on barefoot and minimalist running shoes? Out here in Southern California, there's been a lot of hype lately about barefoot running and minimalist shoes, such as Vibram Five Fingers. Barefoot enthusiasts claim that the most natural way to run is barefoot because the foot naturally knows how to land in order to be most efficient at running. Shoes, they say, are to blame for a lot of running injuries because they force the foot to do something that its not supposed to do, like excessive heel striking. Do you have any experience with barefoot running or running in something like Vibram shoes? I typically train in very minimalist shoes like Nike Frees or racing flats and just got a pair of Vibrams. I'm trying to figure out how best to incorporate them into my workouts." Listener Corey asks: "I enjoy your podcast and find it very informative, i have a question about nutrition during an olympic distance triathlon, this distance usually takes me around two hours to complete depending on the course and i normally don't eat anything during the event and finish ok so i guess i can store enough fuel to get through two hours of racing but would there be any benefit to eating anyway and topping up during the bike leg?" Listener Chuck asks: "I watched a movie the other night called "Fat Head."  Essentially, it is a response to the movie Supersize Me, but instead, this guy shows how he lost weight on a Mcdonald's diet.  Not by eating purely salads, etc. but my eating the real foods just not gorging himself.  The film is somewhat tongue in cheek, but what I really found interesting was the research he did and his interviews with doctors concering he intake of saturated and regular fats.  His main focus became to avoid highly processed carbs later in the day, for example, a double cheeseburger for dinner, but no additional sides like fries.  At the end of his "diet" he has actually lost weight and had healthier cholesterol and body fat levels.  Obvioulsy, I won't recap everything in the movie, but I was wondering if you had seen it, and what your thoughts on it were?  If you haven't, I suggest you take a look at it (I just got it from Netflix) because I think a very interesting entire podcast episode could be made from it, possibly with an interview with some of those doctors?  Just a thought. There's also a website, http://www.fathead-movie.com. My other, short, question is about the triathlon dominator package.  You say its the a great plan for those people who either have jobs, or still want to have a life and not neglect loved ones.  But for those who might actually have the extra time, is this still the best training method?  So if an athlete had infinite time in their day to train, would this still be the best plan for anyone, or would that vary?  I haven't purchased it quite yet, but it sounds to me like you have constructed the best overall plan altogether!  Thanks again Ben, I look forward to your answer." Listener Paul asks: "I love the podcasts which I discovered about five weeks ago (... where have I been?) 'm enjoying my 40 minute drive to work for the first time in years while I trawl through the archives! The first thing I do as I switch off the engine is jot down all the changes I'll make to my protocols .. then I check the show notes! Anyway on to my question... having read some research about glutamine and creatine supplements I bought some. I take one teasoon of each once a day with juice. I've been "loading" one month on and one month off. During each on cycle I have developed one episode of cramping on the outside of each shin within 10-15 days. Is it possible that these suplements are causing the cramps? Its not something that I suffer regularly and this is my only change to my routine in these months...having listened to the Magnezium Miracle podcast I know this is something I really do need to be taking! Keep up the great work Ben, and thanks for making a difference to my running and well being in general!" In my response to Paul, I recommend CreO2 from Millennium Sports. Listener Clay asks: "I have purchased the Triathlon Dominator package, have set a goal for a half ironman next summer, and am currently three weeks into it.  I enjoy the depth of information as well as the thorough workouts spelled out day to day, it is exactly what I need to stay focused and motivated.  There is, however, a few times throughout the 36 weeks that I will be on vacation, out of the country etc. away from my bicycle or pool for up to 10 days at a time. What are your suggestions for mainting training intensity when you cannot logistically maintain the training plan.  How do you adjust your training when you know you will not have access to a cycle or pool?" Listener Eric writes in: "I just posted this on Facebook – but I wanted to write to let you know that thanks to the Ironman Dominator Plan, I have already shaved off 10 seconds on my 100 mtr T Pace in the pool – down to 1:38 now!  Only 5 + weeks in now and that's a full 7 minutes off the Ironman swim!" --------------------------------------------- Special Announcements: 1.
