And much more.

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 fish oil 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 fish oil, Innate, Vitamin D, astaxanthin package 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 fish oil should I take that or just not take fish oil?
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 Arthur De Vany's "The New Evolution Diet" 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 part 2 of the interview with KC Craichy 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.
In my response to Jerry and Josh, I reference Episode #133.

Listener Q&A:As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Rachel Browne, the NEW Podcast Sidekick.
How To Burn More Fat At WorkKatie says: She has a question on CT, HRV and standing desks. She has a standing desk on the days her HRV says she needs to recover she uses ice packs at her desk. On days where she has good HRV and a strong nervous system, she wears 30 pound weighted vest for an hour. Can she do both at the same time? Can she use ice packs for CT, and wear the weight vest while at her standing desk?

39-year-old cyclist Svein Tuft, pictured above, is known as one of the most tenacious, tough and aggressive professional cyclists in the Tour De France. His name has become synonymous with a spirit of against-all-odds tenacity, and perhaps most amazingly, he began entry into the world of professional cycling many years later than most riders have their first race. It was an unorthodox start to his professional career. His name has become synonymous with a spirit of against-all-odds tenacity, and perhaps most amazingly, he began entry into the world of professional cycling many years later than most professional cyclists have their first race. So Svein is one unorthodox guy. He's also a friend of Barry Murray, the ketosis expert, fat-burning efficiency coach, and endurance athlete who joined me as a podcast guest for the episode Five Simple Steps To Turning Yourself Into A Fat Burning Machine. And perhaps because of that connection, Svein has some other interesting techniques that you'll discover in this episode, including:
-Why Svein began his entry into the world of professional cycling many years later than most riders have their first race...
-The unconventional diet Svein follows...
-As an "older" competitor, Svein's most effective recovery tools and techniques... -How Svein handles the mental pain of cycling...
-Svein's special routines and habits...
-And much more! Do you have questions, comments or feedback for Svein or I about this episode? Leave your thoughts at BemGreenfieldFitness.com and one of us will reply!

He's concerned by all the 'bad press' about the practice and the articles that are highlighting the risk of black outs. He knows you're a proponent of that kind of training, what's your take on this?
In my response, I recommend: -The Dartmouth swimmer who died -My article on freediving How To Stop Receding HairlineDarrell says: He loves the show and always has. He's been training for 10 years + at a high intensity and in the past three years he's noticed as his training intensity and load has increased his hair has slowly diminished and where he used to have a massive afro, he now has a receding hair line.

Ever heard of "orthorexia"? It's is an eating disorder characterized by an extreme or excessive preoccupation with avoiding foods perceived to be unhealthy. In other words, it's being absolutely obsessed with eating all things paleo, gluten-free, vegan, raw, non-GMO, organic, and fair-trade, and counting every friggin' calorie of it.
Or how about "body dysmorphic disorder?" This one is characterized by an obsessive preoccupation that some aspect of one's own appearance is severely flawed and warrants exceptional measures to hide or fix it. In other words, you must maintain a nice body, at all costs. Unfortunately, it's all-too-common to see eating-obsessed, exercise-obsessed people destroying their bodies and their minds with worrying and an obsessive-compulsive approach to nutrition and fitness.
Heck, I just released a book yesterday about "30 Ways To Reboot Your Body", and while everything in the book is sound advice, you could also stress your brain and hurt your body trying to take an "all-or-nothing" approach and trying to do all 30 reboots all at once! My guest in today's podcast, Devin Burke, takes a completely opposite approach to health: a minimalist approach. He preaches that people are often obsessively looking for that "silver bullet" and unfortunately often miss tapping into the potential that is right in front of them - if they are only inspired, educated and disciplined enough to implement these necessary changes they could take them to the “next level", without an unhealthy obsession. Devin is a wellness educator, and passionate health coach. He is a Certified Holistic Health Coach and a Certified Personal Trainer by the American College of Sports Medicine. He is the founder of Empowerment Wellness Solutions, a healthy lifestyle coaching business based in South Florida and author of “Healthy Eating in the 21st Century”. And he is also a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, the world's top online school for becoming a health, lifestyle and nutrition coach (save $1000 on an IIN certification if you contact them and mention this show).
During our discussion, you'll discover:
-How to completely reset your brain to eliminate an obsession with eating gluten-free, or getting X number of calories, or eating the perfect carb:fat:protein ratios...
-How something called neurolinguistic programming can help you overcome an obsession with food...
-Why you need to branch-out and eat a variety of different foods, even if that includes components such as dairy and gluten...
-What to eat when you're traveling or at a party, and you want to "enjoy" food, but you still want to avoid making yourself sick or unhealthy...
-Why what pop culture tells you is the perfect body completely flies in the face of your natural human ancestry and genetic hardwiring...
-How to create exercise goals that go above and beyond just "getting a better body"...
-How to quit obsessing over WiFi signals, mold, drinking water, personal care products and household cleaning chemicals...
-Why true happiness is not tied to perfect health and how to truly achieve happiness...
-And much more!
Resources from this episode: -The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (save $1000 when you mention this show)... -The gut/DNA/blood testing Ben Greenfield uses to customize his diet... -My previous podcast on how to rewire your body and brain with neurolinguistic programming...
