As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Rachel Browne, the NEW Podcast Sidekick. How To Get Ready For A Hot Race 

Sarah says: She's a new triathlete looking to complete her first 70.3.  She's from Adelaide is a really dry heat, but the race is in Cairns, which is known for it's humidity and wet, tropical heat. How does she prepare herself for a humid 70.3 ironman, in a dry place like Adelaide. She currently doesn't have access to a sauna - any other ideas?  In my response, I recommend: -A heat suit How To Fix Muscle Imbalances 

Kyle says: His question is a muscle and body imbalances. He used to road race motorcycles professionally and had a dislocated left hip, left ACL replacement and many other injuries on his left side. He's been racing triathlon's for the last few years and at this point he's completed an ironman distance, but feels his imbalances on his left side are having an affect on his training and efficiency. He currently uses globus electro-stimulation, eats more fat and fewer cards, and uses cold therapy and curcumin, colostrum all based on your advice, but he's wondering if you have any ideas on how to help his imbalance?  In my response, I recommend: -“Becoming A Supple Leopard” -An inversion table, a giant band, and a decent traction website or book. -NatureFlex -Ben's Fabulous Four: plank, clamshell, external rotation, row -Z-Health podcast How To Burn Calories Without Exercising 

Anna says: She's in college student studying human health and performance.

Randy says: Is there any substance that's been actually proven to reduce one's sperm count. His son is looking to have his sperm count lowered and he's wondering if there are supplements or anything he could eat or reduce the chances of anything life-changing happening.  In my response, I recommend: -Chasteberry
