Rucking with a tump line

Peter in honour of your Canadian heritage can you comment on rucking with a tump line as the early French Canadian fur trappers seem like they might be the world champions of rucking.

Zone 2 Training following Strength

Hey Peter and Co. I know it's typically a no-no to do Zone 2 training AFTER a strength session, correct? However, is there a "minimum" window of time in between workouts where you would NOT get the negative effects of Zone 2 after strength? The situation I often find myself in is getting a really good strength session in the early AM, but having a good window of time in the afternoon. Would Zone 2 training 6-8h after strength training be considered detrimental?

Woman/ childbirth & creating life

I would love if you would be open to making an episode on the latest understanding on pregnancy & childbirth - longevity starts at birth right ?? Some questions I have include: - women are having babies much later, what if any impact does this have on the health of the baby & the mum? - technology & childbirth - impacts, latest thinking + what is the health implications of a non-natural birth vs natural birth? - birth control & women’s health - true impact ? - what does new progress in genetics tell us about child birth & raising children? - what impact does breast feeding vs bottle feeding have on the development of a child & the mothers recovery from birth? - IVF, surrogacy, natural conception is there reseach on the impact of these choices ? So many questions !!

Protein digestion and gluconeogenesis

Hello, I loved the discussion with Don. Can you also clarify if there is a limit to the amount the body can absorb which will then be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis? Regards, Panagiotis

Women's Health

I would love more information about women's health, specifically as it relates to intermittent fasting, exercise and hormones. I exercise 6-7 days per week, am very thin and like to think I eat relatively healthy. I have a very strong family history of Alzheimer's so try to do intermittent fasting for 16 hours. I do not want to lose weight so balancing the benefits I get from fasting (I believe it reduces dementia risk) against the risk of too much calorie reduction has always been a struggle. In addition, I would love more information as to how all of this affects hormone levels and how hormones help regulate your health.
