American Ninja Warrior Training Tips Trevor says: He has been using your biohacking tips and tricks in his Ninja Warrior training. On of his biggest challenges is to increase his muscle endurance and reduce arm pump during upper body obstacles like the peg board (especially after a bunch of obstacles back to back to back). Do you think the baking soda hack would work to increase his muscle endurance? Do you have any other biohacks he could use? In my response, I recommend: -My article on American Ninja Warrior training -ArmAid -How to use a soup can for forearm massage -Any of these smart drug hacks -Beta-alanine + creatine (+baking soda?) stack Biohacking Mental Focus Craig says: He was a competitive cyclist in college (he is 42 now) and knows how to push himself in physical tasks but he has trouble staying focused and giving himself that same mental push during mental tasks. He follows the "Bulletproof Diet" and uses some supplements that you recommend and also takes adderall (which helps a little but he still has issues). What else can he try? In my response, I recommend: -Dual n-Back training -Creatine (I mention this NaturalStacks stuff) -L-Carnitine -Krill Oil (I mention this NaturalStacks stuff) -Any of these smart drug hacks 10K Training And Nutrition Tips Edward says: He is preparing for a 10k (and taking some NatureCBD to deal with some inflammation and aches and pains). He is wondering if there is any reason to run 35-47 miles in a week in preparation for the 10k? Also it is a hilly 10k and is wondering if you would suggest and specific hill sprints to prepare? And finally - how would you, Ben, fuel if you were running a 10k (he is very low carb)?   Does Algae Work For Fat Loss? Sue says: She is trying out some spirulina, chlorella, algae supplements because she heard they were good for weight loss. Do they actually help you lose weight or is it just that they are so high in protein that it cuts down your appetite? She knows it is good for her and very healthy but she is taking 15 pills at a time. Is this right for her?

My guest in today's podcast, Shawn Wells, MPH, RD, CISSN, has probably forgotten more about supplements than most people will ever know. His brain contains an extremely unique blend of time spent in the science trenches and a formal education in the fields of performance nutrition and supplementation. Shawn attended UNC-Chapel Hill, earning a Master’s degree in Nutrition and minor in Exercise Science. His education also includes credentials of Registered Dietitian, Certified Sport Nutritionist (CISSN), and board member of the ISSN. His role as CEO of Zone Halo Research, a consulting group for supplement formulations, and CSO of Biotrust, along with extensive experience in formulating supplements for big companies (likely some of the ones you’ve tried in the past few years) distinguish him as an expert in sports nutrition and supplementation. If you’re into supplements, you will love this interview with Shawn Wells. We discuss: -How Shawn went from being a practicing Chief Clinical Dietitian to being in the thick of the supplement industry, and some of the most helpful books he read along the way... -The most important factors that differentiate a high-quality supplement manufacturer from a low-quality one... -The deceptive practice of "fairy-dusting" and why many, many supplement manufacturers do it... -How to know if taking different supplements together (e.g. stacking) can be dangerous, or on the flipside, more efficacious than taking one at a time... -Why a supplement can rapidly degrade as soon as you put it into your refrigerator or pantry... -Why everything from solubility to flavor additives can make or break the absorption and efficacy of supplements like whey protein... -Why you could be getting 600mg of caffeine (6 cups of coffee!) in an average "energy" supplement that says it only has 100mg... -The surprising development that Shawn things is the next big thing in the world of supplements and nutrition... -And much more! Resources we discuss during this episode: -Book "Optimum Sports Nutrition by Dr. Michael Colgan" -Book "The Four Agreements" -The Examine Research Digest -Behind The Scenes Of How A Supplement Is Made -My podcast interview with the folks at LabDoor "The Crazy, True & Scary Facts About The Supplements Industry" -BioTrust Do you have questions, comments or feedback about how to know supplement ingredients or anything else Shawn and I discuss?

Cross Country Running Tips Stacy says: She is calling for her son. He is a Junior in High School and a Cross Country runner who is moving up the ranks. What should he concentrate on, as a cross country runner, to make him faster? What can he add to his training and is there anything special he should do with his diet at his age to increase his performance and keep him healthy. In my response, I recommend: -Beyond Training book (especially the chapters on 40 Easy Meals, How Much Carb/Protein/Fat, and the strength/mobility/power/speed/balance sections). Should You Use Wraps, Sleeves And Belts For Weighttraining? Hammer-Slammer says: She competes in Roller Derbies and as her cross training she does a lot of strength training. She would like to know what you think of using wraps and sleeves and belts while lifting. She tends to do this later in her sets when it gets heavier. Is that a bad habit or should she continue to do it? In my response, I recommend: -Rogue Fitness Home Remedies For Hernias Will says: He believes he is dealing with a hiatal hernia. Which he got from heavy lifting and copious amounts of lemon juice which shoved his stomach above his diaphragm. He is getting symptoms of GERD and he can't take a deep breath or each much food. What is your take on this? Do you know any nature remedies for this - to get his stomach back in the right place? He would love to get back to doing normal things like breathing deeply and eating.   How Protein Spikes Insulin Stephen says: He wants to know more about protein intake and insulin response. He eats low carb and mostly carb backloads. He is concerned about eating too much protein because he has heard that it can spike insulin even more than carbs. What is the balance here? Is it more about timing the protein (after or before a workout)?

I recently read an article on Gakwer called The "Food Babe" Blogger Is Full of Shit. It was written by today's podcast guest: Yvette d'Entremont. Yvette, AKA "The Science Babe", has bachelor's degrees in theatre and chemistry along with a master's degree in forensic science. With a background working as an analytical chemist, she currently runs the Science Babe website full time. Her site is an interesting mix of debunking pseudoscience with humor and science. She lives in southern California with her stinky dog, Buddy (who makes a fun cameo in today's podcast).  During our controversial discussion, you'll discover: -Why Yvette thinks that chiropractic treatment is total BS... -Why Yvette, in her post on the "Bullshitproof Diet", calls Dave Asprey a Douchebag... -How Yvette thinks that the Food Babe's Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte was blown way out of proportion... -What Yvette thinks is the next most unproven, hyped up, dangerous or scientifically inaccurate trend or fad currently making it's way down the health pipeline... -Why living by the rule "If a third grader can't pronounce it, don't eat it" is a dangerous rule to follow... -The details behind the group on Facebook called "Banned By Food Babe" that boasts nearly 6,000 members... -And much more...

Does Ketosis Work For Crossfit? Anthony says: He knows you have talked a ton about Ketosis for endurance events but now that you are skewing more towards the shorter high intensity type of training for OCR would you still recommend it (he does Crossfit). He understands how ketosis is advantageous for the 60-70% intensity range but with higher intensity and explosive workouts, don't you need more carbs. He has been trying to use ketosis for his Crossfit lifestyle but finds it to be hard and there seems to be a lot of controversy around that type of diet. In my response, I recommend: -My podcast with Jimmy Moore about "Keto Clarity" book -The guest podcast Brock and I hosted on Jimmy's "Livin' La Vida Low Carb Show" -How To Become A Fat Burning Machine Part 1 -How To Become A Fat Burning Machine Part 2 -Keto Meal Plans For Endurance Athletes book Raw Milk vs. Whey Protein Allie says: She is wondering what you think of using raw milk in a morning smoothie/shake rather than whey protein. She knows that you use whey but she would like her morning smoothie to be more "au natural". She gets raw milk from some local cows and is wondering if there are any negative effects of raw milk instead of whey protein to go along with her  avocados, kale, ginger and all that other good stuff. -- ALSO -- Mark says: He is wondering what you think of drinking raw goat's milk. It seems all over the board from the die hard "you should do it" to "you're a lunatic and you're going to die in 5 minutes". Do the benefits outweigh the negatives? Is getting the good bacteria vs the bad bacteria for gut health worth it? Would you recommend this? Do you do it? Is it good for weight gain or loss or better performance? In my response, I recommend: -Chris Kresser's Raw Milk Reality Article -Goat's Milk vs. Cow's Milk podcast -RealMilk.com Measuring HRV During Exercise Chris says: He would like to know more about measuring HRV during exercise - what type of values should someone be looking for during steady state, aerobic, low intensity cardio? His is hanging like a flat line. What could this indicate? In my response, I recommend: -NatureBeat Should You Eat Before Bed? Vladimir says: He works all day and sometimes when he gets home he just wants to go to bed. Is it a bad thing to skip dinner or is it worse to eat right before going to bed? Basically: never eat before bed or never go to bed hungry? He also wants to know what is wrong with being called Vladimir?

Last weekend, I competed at the TrainToHunt event in Northern Idaho.   And on the day this podcast is released, I'm competing at a second TrainToHunt event in Southern Idaho.   If you have absolutely no idea what a TrainToHunt event is, then I'd highly recommend you listen in to my previous TrainToHunt podcast with Kenton Clairmont. In it, Kenton and I discuss why bowhunting is probably the most appropriate example of ancestral athleticism and functional fitness that exists, and why I'm personally getting more and more into the bowhunting scene.   I also talk quite a bit about hunting fitness in the episode "How To Build Primal Fitness And Endurance By Hunting: An Interview With A Bowhunting Triathlete."   Today, I interview Will Bradley, fellow podcaster, TrainToHunt director and host of the Natural Born Hunter podcast.   In this episode, you'll discover:   -How a construction worker from upstate New York got into bowhunting...   -Why Will thinks sitting in a tree stand for your hunting still requires a fit body...   -Whether this whole TrainToHunt and hunting fitness thing is a passing fad...   -What Will's workouts look like, and what he eats...   -The biggest mistakes people make when getting ready for something like TrainToHunt...   -The best way to estimate your yardage when shooting...   -How to fill a pack  the right way...    -And much more!   Resources we discuss during this episode:   -NaturalBornHunter.com -TrainToHunt.com -Kifaru.net -Previous TrainToHunt podcast with Kenton Clairmont   This podcast was brought to you by Onnit, where you can save boatloads of money on things like sandbags, kettlebebells and walnut butter.

He has recovered fully and even feels 110% but is wondering if you recommend having foreign bodies (like the plate and screws he has) removed from your body or just left in.

In my response, I recommend: -Study on distal radial fractures and titanium plates -Metal Free spray Chicken Broth vs. Beef Broth Jane says: She listened to the podcast about Bone Broth and still has one question - if the animals were all raised on ethically run farms and pasture fed, is there a big nutritional difference between chicken and beef bones?

In my response, I recommend: -Hypoxico -Elevation Training Mask How To Recover From Overreaching Garik says: He is reading Beyond Training right now and is at the "overreaching" section. He has two questions about that: Is overreaching and lifting to failure the same thing? And during the recovery period of overreaching, is "Grease the Groove" ok to do? Or do you have to rest for the full 2-3 days (which would mean you can only workout 3 times per week) to get the best results and full nervous system recovery?
