When Is It Safe To Exercise After Being Sick? Daniel asks: He has been diagnosed with pneumonia and has been off training for 3 days already. Aside from wanting to heal quickly, not get too out of shape, and mitigate the damage from the antibiotics - he also would like to know how quickly he can return to training once he is better. In my response I recommend: - My article "Can you Exercise IF You're Sick" -Electrostimulation -Vibration Vinegar For Fat Loss Eric asks: He would like to hear your opinion of vinegar as a fat loss supplement. Is this a myth of should it be a part of your daily dietary consumption? In my response I recommend: -Raw, unpasteurized, gluten-free apple cider vinegar Mucus In Your Stool Holly asks: She has been using your Detox Gut Healing Pack for about 5 days and in the last 2 days she has noticed some mucus or jelly in her bowel motions. This worried her a bit as her nursing background tells her that is indicative of inflammation. She knows the pack is gentle and shouldn't be causing any inflammation but she would like to know what could be causing this and if you have heard of people having a mucus reaction before.   How To Fix Your Colon Josh asks: A family member has been diagnosed with colon cancer and had to have a large amount of his colon removed. They found the cancer while they were doing a routine appendectomy so now he has no appendix and very little colon. Is there any supplement or dietary advice you would give him? In my response I recommend: -Our previous podcast on the appendix -Probiotics -Vitamin D spray or liquid -Colorectal Recovery Program Why Your Stomach Sticks Out Michael asks: He has fairly low body fat but for some reason his stomach sticks out and makes him look fat even though he is not fat. Do you have any suggestions, diet or exercise, that could get rid of this abdominal distention? In my response I recommend: -Autoimmune Paleo diet -SCD Diet Can A Yeast Infection Cause Alcohol Cravings? Richard asks: Over the last few years he has needed to drink more and more wine in order to get the same effect. It's almost like a craving - he opens a bottle and keeps going until "the job is done" rather than just enjoying a glass. He feels that it is a sugar craving and is wondering if it could be candida (he also wonders if the candida could have contributed to his needing a heart bypass a few years ago). His plan to kill the candida by drinking hefty amounts of New Zealand pinot noir doesn't seem to be working :) Could you talk about what candida is and how to get rid of it? In my response I recommend: -Detox Gut Healing Pack -Berberine by ThorneFX -Passionflower -Oil of oregano -Enteric coated garlic capsules-Brock also mentions Richard's Book "Life After a Bypass" Building Swim Endurance Sebastian asks: He is new to triathlon (he has a strong cycling background and is a decent runner) and is having trouble building his swim endurance. He can only swim 50m at a time before he gets very out of breath and has to stop. How can he build his aerobic capacity for swimming? What is the best way for him to build his swimming distance from 50m to 750m and so on? In my response I recommend: -Swim Snorkel (add a CardioCap for a hypoxia effect, highly recommended) -PowerLung -VASA Trainer (+ Elevation Training Mask for added effect) -SwimSmooth book ----------------------------------------------------- -- And don't forget to go to BenGreenfieldFitness.com/love! -- Prior to asking your question, do a search in upper right hand corner of this website for the keywords associated with your question.

Mike Greer is one bad-ass old dude. I first met Mike at the Become Superhuman live event. The guy wandered into our morning workout and proceeded to destroy a handful of fit young guys and girls at burpees, lunges, push-ups and Turkish get-ups. With his Ironman gear and well-tanned skin, I figured he was one of these 50-some year-old triathlete workout enthusiasts. Then I found out he was 75. As I got to know him, one of the first things I learned about Mike Greer is this: just call him Greer. The guy has worn many hats over the years: entrepreneur who has started over eight businesses, a military career as a retired Lt. Colonel, a football player, a seven-time Ironman triathlete, the past president of the board of USA Triathlon, the president of the board and CEO of the Obstacle Racing Association, in the Texas Triathlon Hall of Fame, a father, grandfather, and a freaking great-grandfather...the list goes on and on and on. Greer has what he calls “Eleven Points of Healthy Ageless Living”, and in this audio podcast episode, we delve into his anti-aging tips and ageless living secrets, including: -What Greer means when he says "healthy, ageless living"... -How to live an active sex life as you get older, and why you need to do it... -Greer's tips for eating to live as long as possible... -Greer's exercise protocol for healthy, ageless living... -Why holding a grudge is one of the worst things you can do for your longevity... -How stress can actually make you live longer... -Greer's biggest mistake he's made that you can learn from... -Greer's biggest tip for achieving amazing feats of physical performance without destroying your body...

Which Supplements Can You Replace With Real Food?

In my response I recommend: -Emu oil -Amia oil -Lifeshotz -Hormone Pack (better than testosterone supplements which may get converted into DHT)  Calories in Protein vs. Amino Acids Connor asks:He is wondering how we actually get calories from protein. When he looks at the back of a particular protein supplement it shows 4 calories per gram of protein but when he looks at a bottle of amino acids it has zero calories in it. How does this work? Also, how could this relate to staying in ketosis? In my response I recommend: -MAP -This Endurance Planet episode on amino acids Are Energy Drinks Acidic?

I used to be an indoor cycling instructor. I absolutely loved it. It was really part of my identity. People called me the "Spin Nazi" and everybody knew if you wanted to really get your butt kicked, you should show up to Ben Greenfield's evening spin class. It was pure joy for me to put together a 60 minute killer soundtrack, strap on the wireless microphone and lead my cycling troops into battle for a solid hour. I must admit - teaching that spin class three times per week for 3 years gave me mutant-like lungs and rock-solid legs. And whether you want to become a better cyclist or triathlete, or you just want the beautiful legs and toned butt that you see in many cyclists, there's no denying that indoor cycling (AKA "spinning") can be a potent way to cross-train, to get better lungs and to develop impressive glutes. But there are many, many things that happen during indoor spinning classes that people simply should not be doing – indoor cycling moves that can be very dangerous for knees and backs, spinning styles that can be ineffective for weight loss and fitness, and a general lack of good knowledge among certified spinning or fitness instructors about how to actually teach the spinning or indoor cycling class. So in today's audio episode, I have indoor cycling expert Jennifer Sageto tell you exactly how to make sure your indoor cycling class isn't destroying your body or wasting your time. Jennifer was previously a guest on the BenGreenfieldFitness episodes: -"10 Ways To Get More Out Of Your Indoor Cycling." -"A Spinning & Indoor Cycling Instructor Gets A Bit Hot Under the Collar."  Today Jennifer is back, and she’s on a mission to clean up spinning and indoor cycling around the world. Jennifer is the mastermind behind the Indoor Cycling Association, an online educational resource for indoor cycling instructors. She is also the author of the excellent Indoor Cycling book "Keep it Real" - which is chock full of practical tips, workouts and sage advice for beginner, intermediate, and advanced indoor cyclists. -What kind of spin classes are a complete waste of your time... -Specific moves that you must avoid if you're going to do indoor cycling... -How much you should stand up vs. sit down when you're riding indoors... -When cycling at an extremely high RPM is OK, and when it becomes dangerous... -What kind of education it takes to become an indoor cycling instructor... -3 things you should do when you walk into a spin class to ensure your bike is ready... -Whether you should ride in an "aero" position on a spin bike... -Why Ben's favorite way to get an indoor cycling workout is with "Sufferfest" videos... Do you have questions about whether your indoor cycling class is bad for you? Leave your feedback at BenGreenfieldFitness.com and Jennifer or I will reply!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you’re scrambling to slim down for the New Year or burn fat fast to get ready for swimsuit season, doing a quick crash course cleanse may seem like an easy way to get things done. After all, detox diets promise to help you shed pounds fast, flush out toxins from your gut, liver, kidney or colon, give your digestive system a much-needed break, eliminate brain fog, maximize energy levels, cure your food cravings, and even improve your hair, skin and nails. The problem is, detoxes can be dangerous. Often, much of the weight loss is due to muscle wasting, self-cannibalization and dangerous levels of dehydration. This can result in a long-term lowering of your metabolism, hormonal imbalances and a body that easily becomes fatigued, overtrained, skinny-fat, and more likely to gain weight in the future. Worse yet, as I discussed in the recent root canals podcast, many detoxes (especially heavy metal detoxes) leach metals and other toxins into the bloodstream. If you have a leaky blood brain barrier caused by lack of sleep, stress, inflammation, food intolerances, overtraining, airline travel or any other biological assailant, these metals and toxins can end up in your neural tissue and cause brain fog, mental fatigue and neural damage. But not all detox diets are harmful. So to help you distinguish the difference between dangerous detox fads and truly helpful cleanse, to jumpstart your New Year and to give you a safe way to clean your body, balance your hormones and spark safe and lasting fat loss, Ben and Jessa Greenfield sit down in this podcast and give you their entertaining take on the 8 most popular detox diets, including: -The BluePrintCleanse -The Cooler Cleanse -Jill Pettijohn Nutritional Cleanses -The Master Cleanse -David Kirsch 48-Hour Super Charged Cleanse -Dr. Junger's Clean Gut Program -Martha’s Vineyard Diet -Kaeng Raeng After Ben and Jessa tell you about the pros and cons of each detox diet, they then turn off the mic and keep going for Part 2 of this Detox Special Podcast, which is only available to BenGreenfieldFitness Inner Circle members. In Part 2, available in both video and audio by clicking here and joining the Inner Circle, Ben and Jessa reveal Ben's #1 recommended way to detox (hundreds of dollars less expensive than popular detox diets), discuss Jessa's questions about detoxes, and answer listener questions about detox diets, including: Summary and Detox Resources For more resources on detoxing, check out: -The Zen of Taking A Good Poop -How Much Fiber To Eat, Where To Get Your Fiber, And Is Fiber *Really* Killing Your Insides? -How To Detox – A Quick Primer On How To Cleanse Your Body For The New Year (Without Going To Some Expensive Resort On A Mountaintop) -How To Fix Your Gut: 9 Bad Things That Happen When Your Digestion Goes Wrong, How To Hit The Reboot Button & The Best Way To Detox Your Body. -Why Healthy Eaters Can Still Have Broken Guts, and What You Can Do About It.
