What To Do When You Can't Exercise [00:26:04] Graeme says: I am having an op this week to repair an inguinal hernia. It is keyhole surgery where basically they place mesh over the affected areas. Exercise is my anti-depressant. I know I can't do anything that stresses the core too much. Thought about indoor cycling and Compex. Any other thoughts on exercises I can do? Have been trying to think of strength exercises that DON'T engage the core but can't think of many. In my response, I recommend: -John Ortberg "When The Game Is Over It All Goes Back Into The Box" -Machines -How To Exercise With A Low Back Injury article -Pregnancy exercises -Neu.fit How To Fuel With Ketones For Long Runs [00:38:30] Jessica says: I am a keto endurance runner and really enjoying the benefits. I am running a 7-day race in Feb (300km) and am wondering how I should be fueling to stay optimal for this? I am supposed to carry 2,200 calories with me per day. I am curious, how I can best get that all in there? In my response, I recommend: -My "How To Get Into Ketosis" article -Kion Aminos -Kion Clean Energy Bar -MCT or Brain Octane -HVMN and Ketone Aid -Glycofuse -Catalyte -My "Fat-Based Energy Gels" article How Endurance Athletes Can Gain Muscle [00:49:48] Kennan says: I am a 17-year-old and next week I begin my final High School swim season. In the off-season, I have put mass and muscle (currently at 170 pounds). Is there any way I can continue to put on this muscle and mass while doing long endurance swims. How would I go about doing this? Any supplements I should take? Would a Keto Diet be a good idea to boost my performance and combat fatigue? Is the keto diet even ok for a teenager? In my response, I recommend: -Alex Viada & The Juggernaut Method of Training -Hybrid Training book -Weston A Price Dietary Guidelines -Thorne Biogest -Quicksilver Scientific Bitters #9 -Superessentials Fish Oil -Kion Colostrum -Kion Aminos -HMB/ATP -Creatine Is Heavy Lifting Bad For The Heart [00:56:49] Garrett says: I was wondering if heavy weight lifting could, over time, be bad for the heart? We know that it can spike blood pressure - can that cause problems over time? I like heavy lifting and I like what it does for my physique but I am worried about what it might do, long-term. In my response, I recommend: -Doug McGuff's book "Body By Science"
