Dr. Matthew Cook is one of my most popular podcast guest of all time, and this episode certainly doesn’t disappoint! Using protocols such as stem cells, exosomes, placental matrix and bone needling with marrow, Dr. Cook was recently responsible for restoring my knee back to nearly 100% health, after which I could barely even stand on it without pain, and certainly couldn’t do the activities that I’m able to now do, such as playing tennis, pickleball, running, and squatting! In this episode, we explore Dr. Cook’s unique approach to restoring youthfulness to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints… And we also discuss his experience with long-COVID, his approach to long-term stealth coinfection, vagus nerve resets, and many other fascinating topics related to regenerative medicine. Dr. Cook is a global thought leader, educator, and innovator in regenerative medicine, combining cutting-edge, non-surgical medicine and integrative care to harness the body’s natural healing power. Capable of addressing the most challenging conditions, his proprietary multimodal approach regenerates, repairs, and restores health on a cellular level. Dr. Cook is the founder of BioReset® Medical and BioReset International.

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 reversalSlowed pace of aging by equivalent 31 yearsNow aging slower than the average 10 yr oldIdeal muscle & fat (MRI)50+ optimal clinical outcome biomarkers100+ markers < chronological ageSeveral fitness tests = 18yr oldBody 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. In this discussion with Bryan, you'll learn how to use deep science and quantification to push the boundaries of what's possible for you in the realms of lifespan and health span.

Tim Gray is the UK’s Leading Biohacker and Founder of the Health Optimisation Summit June 17-18 2023. In this episode, Tim tells us about his fitness routine, supplement routine (we share an affinity for Timeline Nutrition), and general dietary methods. Like me, Tim has tried A LOT of biohacking devices. We get to hear about his favorites and some of the devices he thought were totally silly until he tried them and became hooked. Tim first joined me in the podcast How UK’s Leading Biohacker Eats, Drinks, & Optimizes His Life: An Interview With Tim Gray. As I covered in that episode, he is known for his detailed tracking of more than 35+ biomarkers per day, appears frequently in the mainstream media to discuss practical, trackable, and immediately applicable health hacks, and is featured on over 30 podcasts a year. After his own journey of self-healing from chronic health conditions using biohacking, Tim embarked on a mission to educate and empower the masses. As such, he created the Health Optimisation Summit, Europe’s largest health conference that showcases the best speakers from the health, biohacking, fitness, longevity, nutrition, functional, and preventative medicine spaces (including yours truly) in order to provide people with the knowledge, tools, and resources to take their own health and performance to the next level.

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.

In today’s episode, we dive into the fascinating intersection of faith, biohacking, and well-being. Pastor Lyle Phillips shares his insights on how to biohack creativity and the remarkable effects of light and sound on the human body. As a true "presence person," he sheds light on the importance of nurturing our spiritual health and how it ultimately enhances every aspect of our lives. So, whether you're a seasoned believer, a spiritual seeker, or simply curious about the connection between faith and holistic wellness, this conversation with Pastor Lyle and Allyson Phillips is sure to enlighten and inspire you. Join us as we explore the power of presence, the science of well-being, and the transformative potential of a life dedicated to loving God, loving people, and changing the world. For over 20 years, Pastor Lyle and his wife Allyson have been beacons of hope and guidance for those who seek a closer connection to the divine. Together, they serve as the Lead Pastors of Legacy Church in East Nashville. Before devoting himself to ministry, Lyle began his journey as a missionary to Africa and India, where he founded Mercy29, an NGO aimed at rescuing children from human trafficking. In just a few short years, Mercy29 helped rescue more than 400 kids. Lyle and Allyson met while Allyson was in ministry school at BSSM, and they were married just over a year later in Nashville, where they founded Legacy Church together.

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!

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.

News Flashes – Follow Ben on Twitter for more… I'm still chewing on the latest "Erythritol gives you heart disease" study. Upon further digging, it turns out that the research did not even investigate the consumption of erythritol, but rather, simply blood values that could be a function of endogenous production OR exogenous consumption, meaning it's even possible that people who consume too much glucose are converting some to erythritol in their bodies: The artificial sweetener erythritol and cardiovascular event risk...09:41 Strength before cardio or cardio before strength...?

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... Download 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. Shane also hosts a podcast at Idleman Unplugged Podcast. You can also find Shane on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.

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.

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.
