In today's podcast we cover: Can Vitamin D have adverse effects? Experiencing low libido, low testosterone, and low HRV. Why you need to take Vitamin K and A with Vitamin D Ideal range for Vitamin D is: 40-80 Thoughts on this LCHF homemade breakfast cereal: 3 TBSP hemp hearts, 1 TBSP chia, a bit of cinnamon maca powder, heaping TBSP almond butter, coconut milk, and a handful of berries or sliced banana. Why you don't want to eat eggs and bacon every single day The meaning of "low carb" in percentage of daily calories: 5-10% is low carb 20-30% carbs is acceptable or 40% depending on day/activity Is it normal to be able to run / bike up to two hours in the am fasted, but have a hard time getting the intensity up following this regimen. So you need to eat soon afterwards to replenish? What can I do to have quality workouts without eating too much? Cals per hour for IM race for a fat adapted triathlete, on the bike and run. And size/weight differences for calories and hour. Calories per hour during ironman - 400 at max if you're trained to use fatty acids you'll have enough smaller people ( bigger people (>150lbs) 400 calories on bike 300-350 on run Follow up to calories an hour from what Matt Fitzgerald said on a recent show - Ben's take (basically, the opposite) Why would it be difficult to drink almost any water when I wake up in the morning? Body position or tension. Training in the evenings vs mornings -- bonking in the evening but totally fine in the morning, why? Any fuelling suggestions for an evening run?
