What do you think? Is a sauna as good as blood doping? Maybe if they did it like they did in this study.
Wow. How people sleep when they’re not surrounded by electronics.
Great news for all you low-carbers out there who have been avoiding chocolate. (and this Eating Evolved stuff is the chocolate I eat).

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

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Skywalker Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick and Audio Ninja. What Does It Mean When Joints Pop? 

Lizzie says: She wants to know about popping your back, hips and knees. What causes it? Why is it sometimes a pop and other times a grinding sound? Is it bad that her knees and hips pop after a long run/ride and that it is also very easy to pop her back?    Is Eating Insects Healthy? 

Daniel says: He and his family are interested in farming insects/crickets for eating. What is your experience with them? In your opinion what are the psychological barriers to eating them and how would you go about incorporating them into our western diet?  In my response, I recommend: -Book: Edible: An Adventure into the World of Eating Insects and the Last Great Hope to Save the Planet  -EXO Cricket Bars Why You Get Cold Hands And Cold Feet 

Sam says: As he has grown older he has noticed that his hands and feet get cold very easily. This didn't used to happen back in the days when he played hockey (couple years ago) but now whenever he goes barefoot or even in socks he gets cold feet right away. Same thing with his hands. Is there anything he can do?    Should Kids Run Long Distances? 

Sarah says: She recently read an article in Trail Running magazine about Kids and Ultra Running. She is a mom and her kids run and hike 5 and 10k distances (and more) to get them away from electronics. What do you think about this article? Should kids run long distances? Is there a benefit to it beyond getting them away from being plugged in, off the couch and into nature?    Natural Remedies for Osgood Schlatter's 

Paul says: He has Osgood Schlatter's disease. He has had this since he was 14 (he is now 47). He still has problems with his knees in relation to the disease. Do you have any ideas around the pain or the prevention of this?
