Listener Q&A:As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Skywalker Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick and Audio Ninja.
Krill Oil vs. Fish OilRandy says: Krill oil or fish oil? Which is best and why? Break it down for him.
In my response I recommend: -Superessentials or Thorne EPA, both available here. How To Get Your Period BackPepper says: She liked your answer in Episode 301 to the question about coming off birth control. She has had trouble regulating her menstrual cycle since coming off Yasmin and is wonder what you think of Chasteberry as a way to help fix her cycle?
In my response I recommend: -Chasteberry on Amazon Yoga vs. SwimmingAlice says: She is a 2:50 marathoner. She runs high mileage (80 miles a week) and her coach likes to give her swim workouts 3 times a week. She is burnt out on swimming (and it is winter and cold) and would rather do some hot yoga instead. Can she do hot yoga 3 times a week (intense, 1hr Flow classes) instead of the swims? Which would be more beneficial?
In my response I recommend: -TrainingMask.com (GREEN1 gives 20% discount) How To Reverse Damage Caused By AntidepressantsBrian says: He has been on antidepressants for the last 10 years. For the last 5 years he was on heavy doses of Lexapro and Effexor. It worked well, did its job and he has been off for a couple years but he feels like his mental acuity is down and his sleep patterns are a wreck. Is there a way to put together a program to detox or if there are doctors who can handle this? Is this actually a thing?
In my response I recommend: -Rethinking Psychiatric Drugs book -Dr. Daniel Kalish is a real expert when it comes to neurotransmitter repletion therapy, and I’d highly recommend you visit the Kalish Institute website, read the Kalish Method book or speak with a licensed Kalish practitioner prior to experimenting too much with this stuff. Another very good resource to learn more about neurotransmitter repletion is NeuroAssist.com. Open Water Swimming 101Stephen says: He would like to get into more open water swimming. He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina where it doesn't get too cold - water temp into the low 50s. Could you talk a little about hypothermia in connection with exercise? At what point should he be using a wetsuit? What style of wetsuit? Also do you have any wetsuit brand recommendations?
In my response I recommend: -Blue Seventy Helix -Swim Smooth BookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
