Ben,
You mentioned how you recorded this at your desk drinking your cup of coffee–could you talk a little bit about coffee drinks. Which are good and which would be bad for health. I would assume black coffee would be good, but a vanilla latte from Starbucks would not be. But what about just a straight latte with skim milk–would that be “healthy”? Thanks!

Hey Ben,
Just curious, what is your height and weight? Thanks!

good point! Perhaps I was a bit too focused on the “homepathic remedies” and “exercises” part of the question to see the forest for the trees!

Ben, I’m a little surprised that you didn’t mention dietary changes for “listener #1″ and her rheumatoid arthritis. As you know, RA is an autoimmune disease. I personally know someone that had positive markers for lupus. She gave up gluten and those markers are no longer positive. I realize that lupus and RA are different but it is my understanding that there are improvements for many (not all) RA sufferers that start a gluten free (and perhaps caseine free) diet.

Hey Ben, thanks for answering my question on recovery this week. Yes, I think it’s safe to say that I’m drinking the bengreenfieldfitness.com Kool-aid (without the sugar, of course…). I will add your suggestions to my recovery protocol. As a follow-up, I am following your “Holistic Fueling for Triathletes” for my nutrition, with great results. I’ve even convinced my family to go with a quinoa stuffing for Christmas dinner! I’m looking forward to leaping into 2010, healthier than I ever have been at this time of the year. Thanks, and happy holidays.
