We answer this question and much more in today's featured topic with Dr. Josh Axe... In today's interview, Ben Greenfield and the new podcast host Brock Skywalker Armstrong interview Dr. Josh Axe about the new Beyond Organic foods, including: -Reign Spring Water & Botanical Infusions -SueroViv -Amasai -Green Finished Beef -Green Fed Dairy -Beyond Organic Chocolate During the interview, Dr. Axe answers questions about product ingredients and how packaged organic food could actually be healthy. As an additional resource, Dr. Axe recommends learning more about the benefit of organic cattle by reading the book: "The Devil Is In The Milk." Full disclosure: Ben Greenfield has joined BeyondOrganic as a member. This means that if you, like Ben, begin using the products above, then Ben will make a 20% commission. And so you make the same commission if you join as a member. ------------------------------------------------ Listener Q&A: Chuck asks how much time off do you really need to take during the off-season and whether you need to get “unfit to get fit again". Nadine asks:If you read the December 2011 Triathlete magazine, they will tell you that you can get fit faster by including more intensity, less volume over the winter. In Velo Magazine for December 2011, the long,slow, zone one/two for the whole "off" season is recommended. Plus you have talked more intensity and less volume but interview Phil Maffetone who says to keep heart rate in zone one for the prep and base periods. So I am confused. What is the deal with intensity? Craig asks: My doctor says everyone should take a baby aspirin each day. What is your opinion on this? Melanie asks: First, if you are trying to get your calcium from food rather than supplements, how should you count calcium that has been added to foods? Is that considered a supplement and how useful or absorbable is it? Example, I drink almond milk which boasts 50% DV of calcium, but much of this is added to the milk in the form of calcium carbonate. Is calcium carbonate a good form? If I conclude I'm not getting enough from food, would you recommend hydroxyapatite as the best form? I've previously taken, but not currently taking, Jarrow Bone Up. Also, can you clarify the relationship between magnesium and calcium? I am having some success with my PMS by taking magnesium powder (which you have recommended) and I don't want to interfere with my success by adding in a calcium supplement. In my response to Melanie, I mention Topical Magnesium and Natural Calm Magnesium. Kyoko asks:How does a gluten free diet effect the menstrual cycle? What are those effects are how serious are they? What is your advice? I have no period and no PMS, and I actually feel better. Erin asks: I've heard you talk about the use of beet juice for improved endurance performance a few times on the podcast now. I'm just curious to know if you've ever actually tried drinking 16 oz of beet juice? I tried drinking 8 oz of it once and it very quickly made me extremely nauseous. I had to pull over my car because I thought I was going to toss my cookies. I'm great with other vegetable juices, but I can't do the straight beet juice. I guess I'm just curious to know if other people have had this same problem.
