I was wondering if you have any advice on dealing with Restless Legs. I have read many things relating to the topic but nothing seems concrete. I have been dealing with this for the last six years or so. I never know when it is going to happen. I started taking a multi-mineral supplement in the evening which I was told could help. I feel like it is hit or miss. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work with the show and website!" Listener Rick asks: "Ben, I just started listening to your podcasts and they are very informative...thanks! My question... About 6 months ago I began training for my first triathlon.

Listener Branden asks: "I'm a 20 year old male from Toronto Canada. I have just begun cycling and spinning and loving it.

He has lost 10 lbs currently and I would like to lose just about that I'm 6'1 and 180 lbs my ideal personal weight would be 170 lbs. what do you think?" Listener Chris asks: "I have a fitness and nutrition question for you. I've dived head first into the world of competitive cycling, and have recently bumped up the intense bike workouts to 3-4 a week. On these intense days, I have a very firm control over my eating habits. However, I've noticed that on my easy days, I tend to get extremely hungry, and sometimes have a hard time disciplining myself to not over eat. I notice I have more control over my eating on the tougher days, most likely because of the appetite suppressing effect of exercise. I thought about going running on these easier days, but then t
