Listener Q&A:

How Runners Can Lose Muscle In A Healthy Way (And Calorie Cycling 101)

Des says: She's big fan of the show and she's learned so much its overwhelming.  She has a strange question. Over the winter she managed to increase her muscle mass a lot, but now it's running season and she's too heavy. She needs to lose some of it but it's mostly muscle. What's the safest way to go about losing added weight while maintaining the benefits of the bone density, better hemoglobin, etc. Do you have any tips? Thanks!

In my response, I recommend: -John Kiefer's Carb Backloading Protocol -CoolFatBurner -NatureAminos Natural Ways To Maximize Eye Health

Dave says: He's calling from Bloomington, Indiana. He's an active 29 year old and recently been diagnosed with Open-Angle Glaucoma. He takes a pressure regulating eye drop as recommend by his Ophthalmologist and he's also tweaked his diet to increase his intake of eye healthy food like sweet potato, carrot and dark leafy greens to help manage eye pressures. He's curious if you have any additional protocols that you recommend to combat the pressure of glaucoma specifically or promote better eye health in general? He loves the show and hopes to hear a response on the air.

In my response, I recommend: -Organic bilberry extract or organic bilberry capsules or organic bilberries -Astaxanthin/fish oil (recommend Superessentials) -Thorne CoQ10 or Thorne Resveracel -Natural Calm Magnesium -Frankincense / helichrysum oil / cypress essential oil -Brewer's Yeast  -Vision Gym -My podcast on healthiest computer monitors How Females Can Lose Body Fat Fast

Heather says: She's calling from Michigan, she loves the show! She has a question regarding food. She's competing in her first body building competition in twenty weeks. She's doing the fitness division and the training is going really well. However, food has been a place of struggle. She frequently binges and its really uncontrollable and it feels primal. She was wondering if you have any advice, tips, supplements, things she can take to get it under control, so when she gets closer to competition she can get her body fat down to what it needs to be. There's two caveats, she's vegan, and she's been dealing with candida for five years. Any thoughts and tips are appreciated!

In my response, I recommend: -Thyroid support in the form of a natural thyroid supplement like Thyrogold -Progesterone support in the form of magnesium, whole foods vitamin C, L-arginine, Superessentials fish oil, chasteberry, DIM, and a full spectrum multi-vitamin -DHEA support in the form of Thorne DHEA -John Kiefer's Carb Backloading Protocol -Candida Cleanse protocol -My entire chapter on vegan athletes here
