A Step-By-Step Blueprint For Longevity: The Most Advanced Age Reversal Strategies Known To Humankind
Bryan Johnson is a successful entrepreneur, investor, and visionary thinker - and now, based on his incredibly popular age reversal Blueprint here - is now an icon in the age reversal and longevity communities. His recent foray into incorporating longevity science into his Blueprint includes results such as: 5.1 yrs epigenetic age reversal Slowed pace of aging by equivalent 31 years Now aging slower than the average 10 yr old Ideal muscle & fat (MRI) 50+ optimal clinical outcome biomarkers 100+ markers < chronological age Several fitness tests = 18yr old Body runs 3°F cooler He is perhaps best known for co-founding Braintree, a payments company that was sold to PayPal for $800 million in 2013. After the acquisition, Johnson turned his attention to developing the next generation of transformative technologies. He founded OS Fund, a venture capital firm that invests in companies working on scientific breakthroughs to solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Johnson's passion for using technology to enhance the human experience led him to launch Kernel, a company that is building advanced neural interfaces to augment human intelligence. Kernel's mission is to create a new era of human intelligence by building hardware and software systems that can augment, repair, and improve cognitive function. Johnson believes that these technologies have the potential to fundamentally transform the way we live and work, and could ultimately help us solve some of humanity's greatest challenges. In addition to his work with Kernel and OS Fund, Johnson is also a philanthropist and supporter of various social and environmental causes. He has pledged to donate at least half of his wealth to charitable causes, and is a signatory of The Giving Pledge, a commitment by some of the world's wealthiest individuals to give away the majority of their wealth to address society's most pressing problems.

Everything You Need To Know About Ketones & Ketosis
If you've ever looked into ketogenic diets or ketone supplementation, you may have already heard of H.V.M.N. As one of the most research-backed companies in their field, they make one of the best supplemental ketones on the market. The company was first founded in 2014 by my former podcast guests Geoffrey Woo and Michael Brandt (see Geoffrey Woo's interview and Michael Brandt's interview.) Since that time, the research on ketones has exploded. In 2018, H.V.M.N. products affiliated with United States Special Operations Command were tested as part of Operation Tech Warrior, and in the 2019 Tour de France, multiple cycling teams including Team Jumbo–Visma and Lotto–Soudal confirmed usage of ketone ester for performance and recovery. My guest on this show is H.V.M.N.'s research lead Dr. Latt Mansor, who holds a Ph.D. in Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics from the University of Oxford. He also holds an MA (Columbia University) and a BS (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. Latt brings over a decade of experience spanning academic research, health technology, and pharmaceuticals to the H.V.M.N. team, and now, to this conversation. He oversees all the scientific development and clinical applications for all H.V.M.N. products, and this episode is all about what the company actually makes and how their products work, including how to time and dose ketones as a supplement.

What Hospitals Have Wrong About Childbirth, The Truth About Natural Childbirth, Fertility-Enhancing Methods, A Plant Medicine Bonus Debate & Much More
One of the leading voices on birthing and raising a baby naturally, along with plenty of other holistic principles for Ob-Gyn medicine, is my guest on this podcast: Dr. Nathan Riley, of Beloved Holistics. Nathan is a board-certified obstetrician in California advocating for autonomous birth. Through his experiences as a hospice care provider he learned that choices around end-of-life care are no different from choices in birth: What matters is that mothers feel in charge of their bodies during their birth experiences. He argues that birth is much more than the standard metrics of vital signs, length of labor, fetal status, or any variable routinely measured in labor in the medical model of care. Nathan also recently launched his "Born Free Method," a course aimed at empowering expectant parents to take control of their birthing experience by making informed choices and advocating for themselves within the medical system. Joined by co-instructor Sara Rosser, CPM, Nathan's course provides guidance and support to help parents feel confident and supported as they navigate the transition into parenthood, emphasizing the importance of personal sovereignty and self-determination throughout the process (use code BEN10 to save 10% on the Born Free Method). Hear one courageous OB's perspective on his role in the birth process: Supporting your sovereignty and your choice without coercion or judgment. Finally, listen to the end of this podcast for a thought-provoking discussion on plant medicines and entheogens!

The Secret Ingredient Inside Fish Guts, Immuno-Rejuvenation 101, The Magic Of Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, "The Father Of Functional Medicine," Dr. Jeffrey Bland
Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat (let’s call it “HTB” so as not to get too long in the tooth) is a hardy plant that has been farmed in Asia for generations but is largely unknown in the rest of the world. Modern analyses have revealed that HTB contains significantly higher levels of phytonutrients compared to common buckwheat—up to a 100-fold increase of certain immune-strengthening flavonoids. It also contains other nutrients that help build, maintain, and protect muscles and lean tissues throughout the body, improve how it deals with certain toxins, produce cellular energy, and more. Yes, that’s all from one tiny humble buckwheat plant. Thanks to those health benefits, HTB is a go-to ingredient of mine in the kitchen, and I feature it in several recipes in my Boundless Cookbook. The mastermind behind HTB is Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., a Clinical Biochemist known as the “Father of Functional Medicine.”An immunity expert, the founder of the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), best-selling author, thought leader, and educator, Dr. Bland is also the president of Big Bold Health, the company that produces HTB. Big Bold Health's mission is to engage people worldwide to actively participate in reshaping the conversation about immunity, resilience, and the interconnectedness of plants, people, and the planet. Dr. Bland is advocating for the power of immuno-rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level.

Ben's Current Recommended Fasting Protocol, The Extreme Power Of Combining Fasting With Spiritual Disciplines, How An Addicted, Angry Weightlifter Started A Church & Became A Pastor & Much More
My guest on this podcast is author, speaker, and pastor Shane Idleman, who has written 12 compelling books with a unique perspective on health, fitness, spirituality, fasting, and many other topics, including... Feasting & Fasting: What Works, What Doesn't, and Why 40 Days to Reset Your Life: Applying God's Wisdom for Physical and Spiritual Renewal Help!

Download for free on church’s website. What makes Shane's story truly inspiring is the fact that he abandoned a promising career as a Corporate Executive in the health and fitness industry to pursue a dream that God instilled in his heart following his commitment to Christ. In his words: “While I had focused on prosperity, wealth, and success, I had starved my soul. I tried everything that the world had to offer, but ultimately, I found that it offered little of lasting value.” When asked why he thinks his books are being so well received, Shane added: “The overwhelming response simply reflects the need that we all have for the truths found in God’s Word.” Shane is the founder and lead pastor of Westside Christian Fellowship in Southern California, 60 miles North of Los Angeles.

Respectful Parenting, Eye Movement & Physical Training For Infants, Co-Sleeping Pros & Cons & Much More With Joseph Anew & Emilia Run.
Since their son's birth, Joseph Anew and Emilia Run made an effort to change his diapers slowly, paying close attention to him and communicating to him the whole process. It's their way of showing him respect. However, they went through a difficult phase during which their son would resist diaper changes. If you're a parent, you may identify. Remembering the advice to "Slow down, you can never go too slowly" from early childhood educator Magda Gerber, they slowed down even more, giving their son more attention and lots of tickles. Within a week, their son was happy to have his diaper changed and even began changing his own diaper. This is one of many unexpected tips I learned from the parents I interviewed for my new book Boundless Parenting. As contributors to the book, Joseph and Emilia shared advice on discipline, boundaries, self-sufficiency, and much more.

A few months ago, I received a special package from Australia with some of the most unique and inventive supplement formulations I’ve seen in quite some time, particularly when it comes to healing the gut or fixing problematic digestive issues. The guy who sent them to me, today’s podcast guest Kyal Van Der Leest, is founder of LVLUP Health, a new-to-the-scene supplement company that has created a range of cutting-edge supplements using powerful ingredients that most people would not have heard of before. All the formulations were created in an attempt to reduce the multiple 6-12 products you might need to take for a health goal and simplify it down to an all-in-one product for every body system. LVLUP Health was founded by Kyal - a Nutritionist, Naturopath, Functional Health Coach, turned formulator - because of his own health challenges. He had many family members with severe health challenges, he became frustrated with the lack of quality products in southern hemisphere and the difficulty and cost of sourcing supplements from overseas. So, he decided to create his own supplement brand and formulate his own products using a unique combination of ingredients fusing and bridging functional medicine with naturopathy and nutrition. He founded LVLUP Health to create the products he wishes he could have used and suggested when he worked in clinic and in a supplement store and used in his own health journey. LVLUP Health's products are formulated with the best oral bioavailable peptides, naturopathic botanicals, and nutritional supplement ingredients.

Your #1 Job As A Parent, Respectful Disregard For Others, When College Isn’t Useful & More With Jon & Missy Butcher (Boundless Parenting Book Series).
I first discovered Jon and Missy Butcher when my wife and I went through one of the most transformational life re-invention and life purpose processes we have ever embarked upon... It was called Lifebook and was designed by Jon and Missy. Later, Jon himself joined me for the podcast episode "Lifebook: The Most Transformative Process I’ve Ever Discovered For Crystal-Clear Clarity, Purpose & Direction In Life." I now think of my Lifebook as me, in a book (you can actually read my entire Lifebook here). In other words, if I were to, God forbid, get hit by a bus tomorrow, someone would be able to hand my children my Lifebook and say, “Here. Here is your Dad, in a book. This is everything he stands for, believes in, and values, and everything he would have wanted to teach you about life" (you can actually read my entire Lifebook here)... Along with his wonderful wife, Missy, Jon is a serial entrepreneur and the creator of Lifebook, an extraordinary system that has helped thousands transform their lives from ordinary to living masterpieces. Jon and Missy have learned how to defy aging, experience long-lasting love, redefine education, and build the perfect living environment (trust me, I've been to their home, and it is a complete dream house). Drawing from deeply personal experiences, Jon and Missy, along with their partner, Joe Polish, also founded the Artists For Addicts project. Its mission is to change the global conversation surrounding addiction from one of judgment to one of compassion. If you have children in your life, know someone with children, or plan to have children, this walkthrough of Jon and Missy's radical parenting process is a can't-miss. That's why I also featured Jon and Missy in my new, just-released book Boundless Parenting, in which you can learn more about the Butchers' parenting along with many other highly impactful parents.

Running 2 Miles To A Hip Surgery Appointment, Fighting With Double Hip Replacements, How To Be A Better Teacher & More
My sons have been Jiu-Jitsu devotees since the age of eight. I initially joined then but, regrettably, didn't keep up the practice, though they've continued to flourish under the tutelage of today's podcast guest coach Adam Smith. But Coach Adam is much more than a youth and adult Jiu-Jitsu coach. A lifelong Martial Arts competitor and teacher, Adam has won many traditional Martial Arts tournaments. After moving on to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts, Adam “Smash” Smith has earned a strong reputation as a high-level competitor and an expert-level teacher. Adam holds a Black Belt in American Kenpo Karate (Ed Parkers system), and a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (under Jiu-Jitsu Master Marcelo Allonso Novais). Now, Adam has three of his own Martial Arts Academies (SMASH Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) and plans to continue to build a strong team dedicated to changing lives. With more than 250 current students and thousands of former students, “Smash” is known for his ability to teach anyone, starting as young as three years old. Adam has taught special needs students for over 15 years and has well-known expertise in working with a variety of people with different disabilities. At 18 years old, Adam moved into a fire station where he became a certified firefighter and emergency medical technician (a certification he has held for 12+ years) while gaining firsthand experience saving lives and property in the Spokane area. After growing up as a poor and underprivileged athlete himself, Adam started a non-profit (Give Back Tournaments) and hosts Jiu-Jitsu tournaments to raise funds that pay for athletic endeavors for underprivileged student-athletes. This past year, Adam had double hip replacements three months apart but is back training and working to win world titles.

The New Ketone Healthy Alcohol Alternatives - How To Get All The Effects Of Alcohol *Without* Drinking Wine, Beer or Cocktails, With KetoneAid's Frank Llosa.
You may have heard me talking lately about how I've been enjoying an evening cocktail comprised of ketones instead of alcohol. This drink is a shockingly close equivalent to both the taste and effect of popular drinks like Gin & Tonic, Moscow Mule, Pina Colada, etc., but without any toxic side effects of alcohol (while I have no problem with a glass or two of organic, biodynamic red wine or a healthy cocktail here and there, it's been really nice to have a tasty alternative). The company that makes the drinks I've been consuming - KetoneAid - was founded by my guest on today's podcast, Mr. Frank LLosa, a serial entrepreneur who has an incredible track record of success in a number of fields from real estate, to highly technical photography for National Geographic, to one of the first cloud-based storage systems available to the public. Also formerly an elite Division I track athlete, Frank currently incorporates biohacking to stay competitive in all his endeavors, including a vegan ketogenic diet, hitting levels over 8.0mm on diet alone.

Q&A 453: Science-Based Trick For Morning Alertness, Hard vs. Easy Cardio Debate, How To Make A Vegan Diet Healthy, The Benefits Of Cigarettes & Much More

But the evidence for these claims appears questionable...20:29 More here, here, and here.

How To Fix Your Feet, Eyes & Jaw (& Why You Should!): The Mind-Blowing Science of Posture and Its Implications For Your Health With Annette Verpillot
If you've never given much thought to stimulating the tiny nerves in the bottom of your feet, training your eyes to move in a variety of directions, and even doing a bit of good old-fashioned jaw therapy, then you probably should - especially if you want better posture and enhanced physical and mental performance. Neuroscience now confirms that the pros and cons of your posture are based on the fundamental fact that performance and strength are not just related to the muscles but also to your brain’s connections with the body. There are a variety of tools and techniques to help recalibrate faulty motor patterns and postural alignment. My guest on this podcast, Annette Verpillot, has created the Posturepro Method, a course suitable for healthcare professionals, fitness practitioners, health enthusiasts, or anyone interested in improving their overall well-being. By taking a neuromechanical approach to musculoskeletal issues, the course focuses on improving communication between the brain and the body. The method can help remove compensatory movements and postural adaptations, leading to better posture and movement. With the course, you receive two parts and four modules with unique concepts, detailed notes and guides, a complete practitioner's toolkit, and a certificate upon completion. Participants also get access to free monthly webinars, discounts on products, and their own digital guide and summary sheets. Annette Verpillot is also the founder of Posturepro, a health company specializing in restoring the brain-body connection through some of the world’s most advanced rehabilitation and injury prevention techniques. Additionally, Annette actively works with clients, professional athletes, trainers, practitioners, researchers, and law enforcement officers to develop solutions that promote a healthy, long, and pain-free life. She has worked with strength specialists, elite athletes, and successful coaches from professional and collegial leagues such as: New Jersey Devils San Francisco 49ers University of New Mexico Men’s basketball team Florida Gators Men’s basketball team UNC Charlotte’s Men’s basketball team etc. Visit https://bengreenfieldlife.com/posturepro and use code BEN15 for 15% off Full Show Notes here: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/posturepropodcast Episode Sponsors: Timeline Nutrition: Timeline is offering 10% off your first order of Mitopure.

The New Darlings Of The Anti-Aging Industry & The Russian’s Secret Age Reversal Weapon: Peptide Bioregulators With Phil Micans.
If you've been following me for a while, you've probably heard of peptides, but maybe not peptide bioregulators. Peptide bioregulators - which can be taken orally as a supplement - have been a secret of the anti-aging and longevity world for years, but are just now beginning to hit the mainstream. Peptide bioregulators are small protein molecules that can activate genes for cellular regeneration, acting as cellular mediators to regulate gene expression and protein synthesis. These molecules were first discovered decades ago during the Cold War when the Russian military exhibited signs of premature aging. In response, the Russian government embarked on a mission to find a solution to maintain the health of its troops and prevent aging. As a result, they discovered peptide bioregulators, which have been shown to have potential benefits for cellular health and regeneration. My guest on today's podcast, Phil Micans, has extensively studied Khavinson's work and is one of the world's leading experts on anti-aging, peptide bioregulators. Use code BGF15 for 15% off.

How To Clear Out Damaging, Life-Shortening Zombie Cells In Just 2 Days A Month, A “Shotgun Formula” For Senescent Cells & More
Everyone wants to slow down the signs of aging, but very few people are going about it the right way. The negative aspects of aging are one of the most ubiquitous challenges to quality of life. However, one thing is for sure: scientists believe that a big part of the reason we experience aging the way we do is because of stressed or worn-out cells called senescent cells. Senolytics is a term used to describe ingredients shown to help decrease these damaging senescent cells. My guest on this show - Gregory Kelly - has helped to develop several rare and powerful compounds that have scientifically shown senolytic activity, and which collectively cover a broader range of mechanisms than existing senolytic supplements on the market. His protocol, which we discuss on this show, involves a two-day rejuvenation regimen that he suggests using every month. Intermittent short-duration dosing is the most common way that senolytics are used in studies, and data suggests that it can take weeks for senescent cells to re-accumulate in the body, which is why Greg recommends this approach. Greg's compound is called "Senolytic" and made by my friends at Neurohacker Collective.

“Forever Dog”: Longevity Enhancing Secrets For Maximizing Your Dog’s Lifespan & Healthspan, What To Feed Your Dog, 8 Ways To Walk A Dog, Vaccines & More
Are you ready to learn how new science can teach you how to delay aging and provide a long, happy, healthy life for your canine companions? My guest on today's podcast - Dr. Karen Becker - is a true expert in natural pet care. See, like their human counterparts; dogs have been getting sicker and dying prematurely over the past few decades. Why? Scientists are beginning to understand that the chronic diseases afflicting humans—cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders—also beset canines. As a result, those beloved companions are vexed with preventable health problems throughout much of their lives and suffer shorter life spans. Because pets can’t make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves, it’s up to pet parents to make smart, science-backed choices for lasting vitality and health. In this show, Dr. Becker gives practical, proven tools to protect your loyal four-legged companions. She galvanizes the best wisdom from top geneticists, microbiologists, and longevity researchers and reveals people whose dogs have lived into their 20s and even 30s! Dr. Becker's pet prescriptive plan focuses on diet and nutrition, movement, environmental exposures, and stress reduction and can be tailored to the genetic predisposition of particular breeds or mixes. Medical breakthroughs have expanded choices for canine health—if you know what they are. This podcast is the definitive dog-care guide that empowers you with the knowledge you need to make wise choices and keep your dogs (and pets in general) healthy and happy for years to come.

The Medicinal & Culinary Miracles Of Vinegar, How To Make Vinegar, Vinegar On Ice Cream (!), & More
My guest on this podcast, TJ Robinson, aka “The Olive Oil Hunter®” is well-known as one of the world's most respected authorities on all things olive oil. Widely acclaimed for his "platinum palate," TJ is one of the few Americans invited to serve as a judge in prestigious Italian olive oil tasting competitions. As the founder of The Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, TJ is dedicated to importing rare fresh-pressed olive oil, the most flavorful and most healthful extra virgin olive oil on the planet, until now virtually impossible to obtain year-round in the US. All his oils are independently lab-tested and certified for 100% purity. But what you probably don't know about TJ is that he has a plethora of knowledge about vinegar and spices too, and he recently introduced me and my family's palate to a whole new world of flavor-enhancing vinegar tactics that I never knew existed, straight from his new culinary collection of artisanal vinegar. At GreenfieldPantry.com, the vinegar is $98.00 for a 4-bottle set with shipping included - no club membership is required for the vinegar.

From Divorce & Financial Ruin To Becoming A Healthy Parent, The Wellness Routine Of A Busy Parent, Nature-Schooling, World-Schooling & More With Angi Fletcher (Boundless Parenting Book Series).
My guest on this podcast, Angi Fletcher, is a model, actress, blogger, triathlete, and well-known wellness and health authority. She is also one of the incredible parents featured in my new book Boundless Parenting. A full-time international model from the age of 18, Angi lived in Europe and New York before settling in Los Angeles. Difficult circumstances in Angi’s life - including divorce, financial ruin, the death of her parents, and debilitating anxiety and depression - eventually led her to seek health through detoxing, cleansing, and rebuilding her life. Angi’s husband, Arlynd Fletcher, is a functional movement and biomechanics specialist. After watching his mother suffer from back injuries throughout his childhood, Arlynd developed a drive to understand how the body works and what causes dysfunction. He has worked with many experts in the field in his research and has been called a modern-day “body whisperer.” Angi and Arlynd’s website is devoted to sharing their multi-therapeutic approach to wellness shaped by personal experiences and years of research. This approach includes mindset shifts, physical tools, income opportunities, nutrition tips, and more. Angi and Arlynd live in Texas with their three children.

The Future Of Stem Cell Therapy, Making Fancy Stem Cell Protocols Affordable To More People Than The Elite Rich, Stem Cell Injection Secrets & Much More
Five years ago and then a second time six months ago, I traveled to Park City, Utah, where I underwent the most advanced, comprehensive biohacking procedures for longevity that, to my knowledge at least, currently exists. I literally had almost every joint in my body injected with stem cells, from toe to head, and then several organs, too, including my skin and genitals. Don't laugh ... No surprises here: the effects were pretty profound for me, including notably faster workout recovery (as in, almost immediate recovery from soul-crushing workouts), getting sick less, a somewhat more youthful appearance (reduction of wrinkles, greater hair volume, darker hair coloration, etc.), shockingly improved sexual performance, particularly for erection firmness and size...pretty much everything else I wanted out of the procedure. It's one of the most cutting-edge forays into self-experimentation I've ever had performed on my body, and it's called a Full Body Stem Cell Makeover®. The procedure was designed by Dr. Harry Adelson and Dr. Amy Killen of the Docere Clinics®, and what it entailed was injecting my entire body with my own stem cells. A special variant of this procedure is making stem cell therapy available to a much wider base of people through a new clinic and a tithing program. You'll learn more about the background and history of stem cell therapy, the latest on musculoskeletal pain and longevity, and the future of stem cell treatments.

A special friend of mine, Anahata blends the depth of compassion and tenderness of an angel with the unparalleled wisdom and strength of a healer. With an intention of acquiring knowledge of energy healing, shamanic teachings, emotional release, and self-empowered living at a more expansive level, Anahata made significant efforts in training with shamans, energy healers, and spiritual teachers from North America, Peru, India, and Asia.

How To Blast The Brain With Energy by Using Red Light Therapy Headsets, Laser/LED Treatment For COVID, Instantly Shift the Brain Into A "Bliss" State & More
Have you ever seen me wearing a crazy, laser-light helmet on my head, with red-flashing nasal probes shoved into my nostrils, and thought... ..."What the heck is that, and why would someone ever choose such a horrific fashion statement?" But stick with me here because there's actually something to the science of this so-called use of "photobiomodulation." A lot of something and a lot of science. The basis of all your thoughts, behavior, and emotions is the communication between your neuronal networks. This interaction leads to the formation of neural electrical signals known as brainwaves. Brain stimulation via photobiomodulation stimulates neuronal mitochondria, which increases cellular energy levels. This results in improved efficiency in neural signaling and communication. The "helmet" red light technology I wear - which I don three to four times per week for 25 minutes - is the first in the world to demonstrate the ability to modulate and alter brainwaves using NIR electromagnetic (light) energy, measured through EEG. Delivering pulsed near-infrared (NIR) light energy into the brain’s Default Mode Network (DMN) upgrades brain capability, increases longevity, and improves physiological health. Microchip-boosted cold LED diodes in this setup - made by a company called "Vielight" (use code GREENFIELD to save 10%) - can safely maximize energy transmission into the brain, and intranasal photobiomodulation technology is used for ventral brain stimulation. Transcranial-intranasal systems like this enable comprehensive, non-invasive, and safe brain photobiomodulation. Visit https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/vielight for more info.

Ayahuasca Myths & Truths, Shamanic Battles, Union With God, The Future Of Plant Medicines & More
I first became aware of this episode's podcast guest, Hamilton Souther, when I heard him interviewed by Aubrey Marcus in a fascinating discussion about "sorcery vs. medicine." As the guide and founder at Blue Morpho, Hamilton is no ordinary "shaman." He is a master Ayahuasca Shaman who moved from the United States to Peru in his early 20s to find out if there was any truth behind mysticism and Shamanism, then became one of the few non-native men ever to be initiated into the traditional ways of Ayahuasca Shamanism. Hamilton now operates the healing center Blue Morpho, based in Iquitos, Peru, where he hosts guests from all over the world and in cyberspace. Blue Morpho offers comprehensive online retreats, courses, products, and booking services to support individuals in their personal transformation journey. Through Shamanic Dieta, an ancient technology that looks to medicinal plants from the rainforest, Blue Morpho restores balance, harmony, and life-force energy to your body. Online ceremonies with experienced shamans are held in cooperation with body practices classes, aiming to build physical strength while recharging both mind and spirit for fulfilling life goals and intentions.

Fertility Secrets You've Never Heard Of, Overcoming Painkiller Addiction, & Meditation Tips With Adam Wenguer the Founder of Element Health
In today's show, we dive into why you should consider training in martial arts (especially jiu-jitsu), optimizing your endocannabinoid system to improve longevity and recovery for hard training, little-known ways to increase fertility, overcoming addictions to painkillers, and other drugs. After suffering a spine and leg injury while entering college, Adam was treated with pharmaceutical opioids which led to an intense, but all too common, addiction. On his path to recovery, he became immersed in Zen Buddhism, health, and wellness, and began his lifelong path into spirituality. This eventually led Adam to study and graduate with a degree in applied physiology and kinesiology as he sought to bring greater physical healing to others, as he had done for himself. For more than a decade, Adam was a strength conditioning and health coach at a renowned 5-star wellness and training facility, working with a wide array of professional athletes, company executives, and individuals seeking optimal health. Many of his clients were suffering from the same ailments—sleep issues, anxiety, inflammatory disorders, and a general emotional and spiritual disconnect. This led Adam to take a more holistic approach towards coaching his clients, combining advanced physical training with meditation and utilizing more ancient and shamanic healing arts, while incorporating a wide array of natural medicines and compounds including CBD. In 2017, Adam founded Element Health (use code BEN15 to save 15%), one of the leading suppliers of the most potent and high-quality full-spectrum CBD products in the world.

Regenerating Your Thymus Gland, BPC-157, The Liver King Controversy & More
Your body doesn't know what it doesn't know. What I mean by that is that if you introduce a foreign substance, your body's immune system will mount a response – and often, that response can have negative health consequences. From steroids to even everyday legal compounds, these unrecognizable elements may lead to severe autoimmune disease, gut problems, and cancer. Certain supplements and chemicals can also make you age faster because they interfere with your natural biological processes, temporarily or even permanently altering them. Dr. Marcos De Andrade, who goes by Dr. De and I met at his facility in Miami called Biohax. The services at Biohax include complete biochemical analyses with panels designed to look at different concerns such as performance, mood, and toxin exposure. Based on those results, the “health magicians” at Biohax apply what they call their “4R Strategy” to remove inflammatory agents, replenish micronutrients, reinoculate your gut, and recover through sleep and therapeutics. In this discussion with Dr. De, we open up the Liver King controversy (a topic I haven't spoken about on a podcast yet) and we discuss growth hormones, how to regenerate your thymus gland, safe steroids, peptides, muscle building, maintenance, and more.

How To Biohack With The Elements of Air, Fire, Water & Earth: VSELs, Dosing Methylene Blue, Melatonin For Inflammation & Much More
From the energy of the earth to the sustaining breath of air, from the heat of fire to the nourishing force of water... ...the four elements are regarded as cornerstones that form the basis of different understandings, from religious traditions to philosophical theories. The concept of those four fundamental forces dates back centuries to when the Ancient Greeks sought to explain the principles between visible phenomena and the natural world. The ancient belief was that living things required all four elements to sustain a healthy life. From mythical folklores spanning multiple civilizations to Hippocrates making medicinal use of environmental elements like the earth's dirt or sunlight, the elements have been foundational to theories of health and healing. Last month, I had the pleasure of joining my friend Dr. John Lieurance for a full-day event in Sarasota, Florida for an event centered around the four elements called Elements of Vitality. The event gave participants the chance to hear from and connect with renowned professionals in the medical field, with presentations and breakout groups throughout the day. Dr. Lieurance is a naturopathic physician, chiropractic neurologist, and all-around expert in medical biohacking who has been in private practice in Florida for 25 years. He's the chief scientific advisor of MitoZen Scientific and heads up Advanced Rejuvenation, a multi-disciplinary clinic focused on treating chronic diseases, regenerative medicine, functional neurology, functional medicine, and stem cell research. He is also the founder of Out of Box Doc, an alternative and regenerative medical center that treats injuries and diseases.

The Most Efficient Exercise Machine Known To Humankind - Massive Strength Building Results In Just 15-20 Minutes Per Week
You may have heard me talking lately about the "giant robot" in my gym - an advanced piece of exercise equipment built with a powerful two horsepower engine. It is the primary means by which I have been becoming "strong as a bull" of late with only three 20 minute strength training sessions per week. I've known about this crazy machine for years, but finally got one installed in my gym about 12 weeks ago and the results have been unparalleled. It's called the ARX. The ARX - which stands for Adaptive Resistance Exercise - is a mashup of single set to failure training and superslow training that can be used for extreme efficiency strength training or for rehab. The ARX technology “biohacks” strength training with a computer-controlled, motorized resistance that is capable of matching any force you produce, giving you a perfect rep with every rep. Unlike a traditional weight training machine that requires you to adjust the weight with pins or plates, there is no need to set the resistance while using ARX. Instead, the machine applies opposing resistance in direct proportion to what you are producing at each moment in time throughout an entire rep. The entire effort for that one single set to failure is then measured and displayed by the software in real-time. Special Offer Two years of additional ARX care (hardware warranty – parts & labor), bringing the total warranty to three years for all of Ben’s listeners.

I've been podcasting twice a week now for many years. The result is several hundred episodes of content that, taken together, are a virtual library of in-depth information on topics ranging from those as specific as the best mattresses to as vast as spirituality. As we are now only hours away from 2023, I'm looking back on the past year of podcasting with fondness. The scientists, CEOs, doctors, and many others who appeared on the show this year have taught me way more than I ever could have anticipated. When my team and I decided to do this final episode of 2022, featuring what we've decided to call the top podcasts of the year, I could not pick favorites. The episodes here, instead, are those that you listened to most. We've taken them down in length so that you can hear the highlights of each episode over the course of a single episode that is around an hour and a half long. Then, of course, if you want more, we've linked to the original podcast so you can listen to the entire episode. Thank you, sincerely for your support of my podcast this past year. I can't wait for you to hear what's in store for 2023, with even more high-quality discussion, educational content, personal stories, and even music and entertainment.
