Listener Q&A:
As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Skywalker Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick and Audio Ninja.
Fexaramine For Fat Loss
Sebastian says: He has been reading about this miracle weight loss pill called Fexaramine. He is curious what you think about it. He doesn't want to take it (he is not overweight) but he would like to know more about it.
In my response I recommend: Fang S, Suh JM, Reilly SM, Yu E, Osborn O, Lackey D et al. (January 2015). "Intestinal FXR agonism promotes adipose tissue browning and reduces obesity and insulin resistance". Nat. Med. doi:10.1038/nm.3760. PMID 25559344.
Can Running Make Your Boobs Smaller?
Alexander says: His girlfriend wants to increase her running and aerobic exercise volume but is worried that her "really sexy boobs will start to decline." What are you suggestions to help solve this problem? ** Note: he is italian and is pretty hilarious.
Does Himalayan Salt Have Dangerous Amounts of Oxidized Iron?
Cathy says: She knows you are a big fan of eating mineral rich salt and she 'gets that' but lately she has been hearing that the Himalayan salt is coloured pink because it contains iron that is oxidized. Wouldn't that make it unhealthy? How accurate is that?
In my response I recommend: -Aztecan Salt
Staying Fit During Long Road Trips
Dan says: He wants to know what you, Ben, would do if you had to drive 1000 miles in a car. He has to take a trip soon and wants to know how to minimize soreness, aches and pains and all that stuff. Would you take several days off prior to the trip and do a bunch of stretching and yoga or would you train hard the day before and call the trip a rest day? Side note: he has Lyme Disease and Leaky Gut. He is getting better but not there yet.
In my response I recommend: -Compex or MarcPro ($32 discount at http://www.MarcPro.com with discount code "Ben") -PowerLung (use code BGF025 for 25% discount) -110% Compression Gear (use 10% discount code GREENFIELD) -Hardest Workout In The World
