What if the key to an extraordinary life is becoming radically, unapologetically yourself? Today, we’re here with the one-and-only Ben Greenfield, a man who has been pushing the boundaries of human performance for decades. In the ever-evolving world of biohacking, he’s tried just about everything so that you don’t have to. But we’ve known each other and collaborated as fellow fitness nerds and OG Podcasters for many moons and through many stages of life, celebrating wins together, and even throwing each other a couple of alley-oops. Ben's not just some fitness guru and ninja warrior, he's a devoted father and renaissance man who writes fiction, play guitar, snowboards, and knows how to survive in the wilderness in style. There’s no one quite like Ben Greenfield, and I’m grateful to call him a friend. On this show with Ben, you’ll hear about Ben’s latest adventures with botox, blood boys, and biohacking blunders, tips for raising a healthy family in the age of tech overload, Ben’s strategy for reversing arterial calcification and plaque deposition, the dangers of overtraining and how to find your sweet spot, the art of being weird, and much more… #gm #health #podcast #fitness #biohacking #grownstr #healthstr #longevity image Listen on @Fountain : https://fountain.fm/episode/riPNX8edgIpMMIrdpDD5

Ever had a near-death experience? A simple twist of fate or freak accident can alter the course of your life. But if you let them, tragedies can set us on a new and better path. The reason I disappeared for the past few months isn’t because I took vacation... I was seriously injured in a hit-and-run car wreck. A speeding driver rear-ended me out of nowhere going 80 mph in 35mph zone, hitting so hard it ripped off my rear wheel and ruptured the gas tank. I was knocked unconscious briefly, but somehow managed to get the car off the road instead of being dragged into oncoming traffic (on three wheels). The other driver fled the scene, but good Texans who saw what happened helped me get out of harms way. It only seems appropriate that this week’s guest shares his name with Lazarus, the legendary Biblical figure who was raised from the dead. Though I wasn’t quite dead, I’ve felt no more than half alive for the past couple months as I recover from a major concussion which, unfortunately is not my first traumatic brain injury. The crash also herniated multiple discs and tore ligaments in my neck, which is similar to tearing your ACL in your knee, except it’s impossible to stay off your neck so the pain is unrelenting. You’re probably wondering about the other driver, as am I. Since the other driver fled, it’s an ongoing police investigation and I don’t have information yet. But all and all, I’m grateful to be in one piece. I have an excellent team of doctors guiding my recovery, and thank you for the well-wishes. I’ll keep you updated. Accidents and setbacks are common. It’s how we respond, react, and recover from them that really matters. This ability to get up after you’re knocked down is far and away the most important quality for long term success in health or anything else. Fate is coming for all of us, and we’ll all eventually be ravaged by time, so it’s important to build in yourself the qualities of becoming anti-fragile. This week’s guest, Dr. Ryan Lazarus, faced a near-death experience at age 18 in a devastating sports accident that crushed his organs. For years, he grappled with life-altering health issues, including Type 1 diabetes, digestive failure, and immune problems, each day presenting a new battle to be fought. He’s navigated through a maze of trauma, illness, confusion, setbacks, and despair, often questioning the purpose and meaning behind chronic illness and suffering. It was precisely this burden of hardship that molded his resilience and fueled his passion for helping others. After years of pain and struggle, he mustered the courage and determination to seize control of his own health journey. Ryan delved into the realms of functional medicine, nutrition, fitness, and mental fitness acquiring a wealth of knowledge and tools that enabled him to forge his own path to recovery. #gratitude #gm #podcast #health #wellness So how do you transition your mindset from being a victim to a victor when life gets rough?

What happens when our digital companions become more compelling than our flesh-and-blood relationships? When artificial intelligence can fulfill our deepest drives and reward pathways more reliably than any human relationship, what happens to human connection, meaning, and purpose? In a world where machines can outperform humans in nearly every conceivable domain, where exactly does that leave us? Today, we’re exploring the world of artificial intelligence with a man who's part technologist, part philosopher, and also happens to be a former Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu national champion. My guest, Daniel Faggella, is a researcher who's been studying the intersection of human potential and artificial intelligence for well over a decade. image #podcast #ai #artificialintelligence #future #grownstr In this mind-bending episode, we're diving deep into what it means to be human in an increasingly AI-driven world.

What’s better for longevity—running or walking? If you want to be fit and live for a long time, you don’t need to subject yourself to suffer-fests or slog through long runs. Today, I’m joined once again by our friend Mark Sisson, New York Times bestselling author and founder of Primal Kitchen and Peluva minimalist shoes. Mark had an incredible career as an elite endurance athlete, qualifying for the 1980 Olympic trials in the marathon. But as you’ll hear, his high-mileage running habit ultimately took a toll, leading him to rethink everything he thought he knew about fitness and longevity. In his new book, Mark makes a compelling case that we humans are actually born to walk, not necessarily run, and that walking is one of the most powerful and most underrated tools we have for improving our health, body composition, and quality of life. As usual, this conversation challenges mainstream fitness dogma, and Mark always brings the receipts. image #podcast #longevity #health #healthandfitness #running #healthstr Listen here on @Fountain : https://fountain.fm/episode/CJ9LpFqpiqNZY57uVOyx

Have you ever had a concussion? Anyone who’s ever had their bell rung knows recovery can be brutal. But with enough time and the right treatment, our bodies also have the remarkable ability to heal. Today we’re going hard in the paint on brain health, electromagnetic fields and decentralization in tech, food and finance with our friend Tristan Scott. @Tristan 🌞⚡️ is an electrical engineer, health marketing lead at @daylightco and author of Bitcoin and Beef. After suffering from debilitating long-term symptoms following multiple concussions sustained as a college athlete, Tristan made a commitment to healing his brain. This led to a deep dive into the world of alternative health, exploring the critical roles our diet, circadian rhythm and electromagnetic environment play in our health and performance. I met Tristan in Austin last year at Squatch while feasting on delicious beef grilled up by our friend Johnny Ochoa. From our first conversation, it became clear why Tristan has become a rising voice and leader in the world of alternative health and tech. Tristan’s expertise in electrical engineering gives him a unique perspective on the often-overlooked impacts of EMFs, and how we can reclaim our health and sovereignty in the face of the technological onslaught of the modern world. #health #podcast #decentralization #bitcoin #bitcoinandbeef #btc #decentralizedhealth #grownstr #healthstr Listen to the full episode on @Fountain: https://fountain.fm/episode/F4VfzMWW8jImy1x4cvwg image
