Listener Q&A:

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick.

How To Build Massive Stamina & Recover Faster From An Endurance Event

Kory says: He's currently training for the Hurricane Heat 12 hour event for Spartan. He did it last year and he got time hacked at the 10th hour and so he's learned from the event and has started to do a lot more rucking, weighted calisthenics and military PT style workouts, but he knows this style of training can do a lot of damage to his joints. He's wondering if you have any tips on how to train for a weight bearing event like this without doing any damage to yourself, and also if you have any special gear you can recommend?

In my response, I recommend: -Incline treadmill -Standing workstation -Hyperwear weighted vest -Normatec -Myobuddy -Eat Early & Eat Often (e.g. like Kokoro) Everything You Need To Know About Food Combining

Zach says: He just stumbled across the concept of food combining. He's always thought of combining foods to get a balanced meal - getting protein, carbs and fats in each meal - but he's new to the nutrition side of things. What's the low down on food mixing, how do you do it properly and how do you avoid having undigested proteins and other things in your system?

  Natural Fixes For Depression

Hannah says: She just broke up with her boyfriend of two years, and she's having trouble coping with the mental and physiological ramifications of break up. She takes lions mane, D3, cordyceps, a good B vitamin and she exercises. She thinks all that is helping, but she's exhausted, she's having trouble sleeping, she can't think clearly, she's breaking down all the time and she's having a hard time coping. She's wondering if you have any suggestions for how to deal with heart break and the physical ramifications that entails?

In my response, I recommend: -Retimer -Fish Oil -Vitamin D/K Blend -Gratitude Does The Whole30 Diet Work?

Anonymous says: What are your thoughts on the Whole30 book, lifestyle changes and recipe? Do you think it's beneficial, or are there other ways to figure out what might be causing certain reactions in your body?

In my response, I recommend: -Cyrex -Robb Wolf's "Wired To Eat" book -The Jungle Effect book -DNA Testing
