Listener Q&A

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick.

How To Increase Testosterone After Exercise [47:08]

Jim says: You have talked about how testosterone levels can be prolonged if you simply fast after a workout and that they dip if you eat post-workout. I am wondering if eating post-workout just causes a drop in blood testosterone because your insulin takes the testosterone out of the blood and shovels it into the muscle to begin recovery. So I am wondering if eating post workout is actually something we could do to enhance recovery and that blood levels of testosterone are not, in fact, the real desired effect.

In my response, I recommend: -My podcast on the benefits of fasted exercise -My podcast with Mark Sisson -Kion essential amino acids -Essential amino acids and muscle protein recovery from resistance exercise How To Fix The School Lunch Program [59:53]

Ben says: I would love to hear your ideas for avoiding the epidemic of poor quality food in our public school system. And also if you have any ideas of how we can affect a change in the system so future children don't have to suffer. My daughter's kindergarten offers hot dogs, nachos, corn dogs and an ice cream truck from Hershey's. I would love you hear your thoughts on combating this issue and getting better vendors into the system.

In my response, I recommend: -The book "Feeding You Lies" -What Kids Around The World Eat For School Lunch -Healthy School Lunch Campaign  -farmtoschool.org -TheLunchBox.org -Packing The Perfect Lunchbox by Weston. A Price -BigGreen.org
