Featured Topic: The Emotion Code

Dr. Nelson begins by explaining the crucial link between emotions, health and injuries, and reveals how over several decades of research he has developed a powerful tool for healing injuries, illness and more by simply addressing underlying emotional issues.

And then, this interview gets a bit crazy. Without knowing a thing about me, Dr. Nelson identifies a deep emotional issue over the phone that has been causing my knee pain - and fixes it, via a phone call, without even touching me.

I'm a reasonable and open-minded guy, but I'm also critical. However, I do know my own body, and I know what Dr. Nelson does actually works, so you don't want to miss this interview.

Click here to sign up for any of Dr. Bradley Nelson's seminars, in which he teaches the same type of techniques he used with me over the phone.

OR click here to get Bradley Nelson's book: "The Emotion Code". I've already ordered and am anxiously awaiting my copy!

Listener Q&A:

Jarrett asks: I've been eating healthy and I exercise almost daily, but my exercise is mainly walking and jogging the streets and blocks around my neighborhood and I mainly go without any set path in mind. Is the reason I've been at a Plateau with my weight because my body is used to walking and jogging the blocks? Do I have to run to start losing more weight? I weigh around 200 lbs. and my ideal body weight is 170-180 (I'm 5'10" Male).

Steve asks: I do weekly bike intervals with my tri/road group consisting of mile or so loops with an equidistant recovery loop at an easy pace. I do weekly run intervals on the track which consist of a distance like ¼ mile sprint followed by a ¼ mile recovery lap at an easy pace. In my masters swim class, however, intervals means swim say a 100 meters on 1:40 or 1:50 and rest at the wall for whatever time you have left in that interval. It seems like the equivalent would be swim a 100 at sprint pace and then swim 100 at recovery pace. Why is the term intervals used so differently in these different sports? Is there a training related reason? Thanks.

spoonsister asks via twitter: @bengreenfield what about all these basketball strengthening shoes? walking might be ok but couldnt it jack up running gait? tempting tho.

Graeme asks: As part of your Bioletics testing protocols they told you that you were a Protein type or Fast Oxidiser. Have you decided to amend your diet based on this? And specifically what are your thoughts on adopting this recommended diet which includes higher proportions of animal fats that a lot of other diets. Metabolic typing seem to discount cholesterol concerns as a major issue.
