Listener Q&A:
As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Skywalker Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick and Audio Ninja.
How To Use Baking Soda For Performance (And Alkalinity)
Neeraj says: You recently talked about a study where taking Sodium Bicarbonate helped increase time to exhaustion. Is this because it lowers the acidity of the body? There are other supplements out there (like Acid Check) that claim the same thing. Should endurance athletes take these types of supplements, sodium bicarbonate or make their diets more alkaline?
In my response, I recommend: -
Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Natural Ways To Increase Glutathione
Janine says: She is looking for natural ways to increase her glutathione production. She knows she can supplement with it, and the liquid can be effective but she is hoping to not have to spend more money.
In my response, I recommend: -
Upgraded Glutathione -
Whey Protein -
Curcumin -
Organic, grass-fed organ meats Can Mud Help You Recover Faster?
Jason says: Lately he has been using this stuff called Primal Sports Mud after his workouts. It is supposed to aid with recovery. You apply a thin layer to the affected area, wrap it and apply heat. How exactly does applying something to your skin help your muscles recover faster?
In my response, I recommend watching the video below... and also these
mud and pain studies.
What To Do About Snapping Hip Syndrome
Tyler says: He has what is called "Snapping Hip Syndrome." Basically, when he is laying on his back and he lowers his left leg, just before the foot meets the ground he hears a loud clunking sound. He also has limited movement in his psoas which causes his opposite hip to overcompensate when he does any long distances. What would you do to help or release this impingement issue in his hip... he already does the usual smashing and stretching religiously.
