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

As compiled, edited and sometimes read by Brock, the Ben Greenfield Fitness Podcast "sidekick". Natural Remedies For Snoring 

Ari asks:About 4 years ago he had his deviated flare septum fixed. The doctor also coblated the turbinates. The doc said he would likely need to have the coblated again. Immediately after the surgery, for about a year, he didn't snore at all and his sense of smell was great. Eventually he could feel them swelling up again and now days he snores a lot and had a terrible sense of smell. He has used xylitol spray and breathe right strips and they work well but are annoying. Do you have any advice on swollen turbanites or snoring?  In my response I recommend: -Pulse Oximeter with Memory Function -"My Snoring Solution" -American Academy of Craniofacial Pain -North American Association of Facial Orthotropics Weight Training For Endurance Athletes 

Joe asks: He is a weak cyclist who wants to build power quickly but doesn't want to spend hours riding in Zone 2. He uses intervals but is wondering if a tough, high rep squat routine would help with that (like the one we are doing from Dan John). He is also wondering if you are still doing the cold showers even while doing the  Mass Gain Protocol.  In my response I recommend: -Ultimate Weight Training Guide for Endurance Athletes -This study on weight training for endurance -CoolFatBurner and CoolGutBurner Can D-Ribose Reverse Heart Disease? 

Keith asks: He recently read a book about reversing heart disease by Dr. Sinatra. In it, the doctor recommends taking D-Ribose. Do you know how effective D-Riboseis for reversing heart disease? They recommend at least 5000/day.  In my response I recommend: -X2Performance -D-Ribose powder How to Lose Weight With A Low Thyroid 

Kim asks: She is about 80lbs overweight and is wondering if you have advice for someone with a thyroid condition to speed up weight loss? Are there any supplements that are safe to take when on synthroid? Sanket asks:His wife has Hashimoto's thyroiditis and one of her alternative doctors is encouraging her to try a brain mapping exercise to reset the connections in her brain and help heal the Hashimoto's. He is wondering if this would work or if this is even a safe thing to go. Have you heard of this? Do you know what the risk is?  In my response I recommend: -Desiccated thyroid -Thyrogold -Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? when My Lab Tests Are Normal: a Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Hashimoto's Disease and Hypothyroidism -Paleo Autoimmune diet -Case studies on Hashimoto's Encephalopathy Train For A Marathon Without Losing Muscle 

Mary asks:She recently transitioned from endurance sports to physique competitor. She is running the 2014 Boston Marathon and also qualifying for Nations in Physique competing. What is the best way to train for a marathon without sacrificing and muscle. She isn't planning to PR in Boston but she does want to complete. What should her mileage be and how should she fuel?  In my response I recommend: -Master Amino Pattern -Doug McGuff's Body By Science -Marathon Dominator Sports Nutrition For Females 

McAuley asks:She would like to know if there is a difference between what she should eat before, during and after a workout and what a man should eat in those same time periods? Is it gender specific?
