 ------------------------------------------ Listener Q&A: 

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Rachel Browne, the Podcast Sidekick. What Is Simulated Altitude Training? 

Aussie says: He's from Perth, WA - he loves the show. His question is regarding simulated altitude training and it's benefits and drawbacks. He'd love to know your thoughts on training high and living low, rest periods, benefits for weight loss and benefits for type 2 diabetes.  In my response, I recommend: -Fingertip pulse oxygenation measurement device (pulse oximeter) -Altitude tents and altitude training devices on Amazon -How To Legally Dope Your Blood podcast -The Altitude Centre in London How To Fuel A Marathon Naturally 

Leanne says: She's a big fan. She's calling from London in the UK. She's training for the London marathon and she'd love to know what you recommend for nutrition both for prep and recovery, before long training runs (12 miles up) and also for after training? What are the best foods and drinks for during the marathon, and what do you recommend to take as snacks to keep their energy going? She wants to avoid glucose and sugary stuff and be as natural as possible.  In my response, I recommend: -Fat based energy gels -How to get into ketosis -Iskiate Endurance by MyNaturalForce (use code BEN10) -Feed Zone Portables Cookbook How To Know When You're Recovered From Adrenal Fatigue 

Ray says: He's a huge fan. He has a question on adrenal fatigue, he knows we have covered it in a bunch in the past but he was wondering when about 80% of the time he's feeling good, and the other 20% the symptoms are still present, what would be your take on how to get rid of these last few hurdles? He sees that he when he works out super hard the next day he has a longer period of time when he's not feeling greatest his because his body shouldn't be pushed this hard or because he's doing other things wrong, like not using adequate supplementation etc?  In my response, I recommend: -How to know if your body is recovered -DUTCH test How Fasting Is Different For Females 

Janelle says: She wants to thank you for years of great podcasts. As she wants to lose some weight, she's interested in intermittent fasting, but she's hesitant due to some research on how it messes with females hormones. She's post-menopausal, so her hormones are already low, but her morning cortisol is 24 which is high. What are your recommendations to pre and post-menopausal females with regards to intermittent fasting and would you suggest it for someone with elevated AM cortisol?  In my response, I recommend: -DUTCH test
