What To Do When You Can't Exercise [00:26:04]
Graeme says: I am having an op this week to repair an inguinal hernia. It is keyhole surgery where basically they place mesh over the affected areas. Exercise is my anti-depressant. I know I can’t do anything that stresses the core too much. Thought about indoor cycling and Compex. Any other thoughts on exercises I can do? Have been trying to think of strength exercises that DON'T engage the core but can’t think of many.

How To Fuel With Ketones For Long Runs [00:38:30]
Jessica says: I am a keto endurance runner and really enjoying the benefits. I am running a 7-day race in Feb (300km) and am wondering how I should be fueling to stay optimal for this? I am supposed to carry 2,200 calories with me per day. I am curious, how I can best get that all in there?

How Endurance Athletes Can Gain Muscle [00:49:48]
Kennan says: I am a 17-year-old and next week I begin my final High School swim season. In the off-season, I have put mass and muscle (currently at 170 pounds). Is there any way I can continue to put on this muscle and mass while doing long endurance swims. How would I go about doing this? Any supplements I should take? Would a Keto Diet be a good idea to boost my performance and combat fatigue? Is the keto diet even ok for a teenager?

Is Heavy Lifting Bad For The Heart [00:56:49]
Garrett says: I was wondering if heavy weight lifting could, over time, be bad for the heart? We know that it can spike blood pressure – can that cause problems over time? I like heavy lifting and I like what it does for my physique but I am worried about what it might do, long-term.
In my response, I recommend:

Hi Ben, I haven’t listened to your podcast for a very long while…and now trying to catch up. Such great info, thanks! One question because I am confused: is Brock back? I admit I wasn’t a fan of Rachel, which is partly why I stopped listening (sorry), and I was pleasantly surprised to hear Brock on this episode. Is he back??? Again, thanks for all you do, books, podcasts, articles and so much more x
Yes, Brock is back as my show sidekick!
Ben- I have find if I do a longer workout (4+ hours) and take more than 2 servings of Glycofuse I get stools that are very hard to get out. Sometimes if I use too much Glycofuse on back to back today this happens too. Is the normal and any thoughts/suggestions? CarboPro seems to work well for me.
Ben,
You’ve mentioned liver in several podcasts and I’ve checked out Weston A Price site for info. Do you have a link to any study supporting its rank as number one food in nutrient density?
Love the show. Keep up the great inspiring work.
Thanks
Oh,
one other question. If one can’t afford to purchase a sauna, would wearing one of those plastic suits in a hot environment offer any benefits (other than the lack of light issue)?
Thanks
Do you have a Youtube link or source for the breathwork practice that you do in the sauna?
BEN code is not working for fitvine … just FYI
Thanks Chris, we are working on getting code BEN active.. Code: Greenfield10 should do the trick
