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...

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...

It’s time for another entertaining podcast with one of my dear family members. My father, Gary Greenfield, joined me on the podcast episode “Why Water, Sunlight, Grounding & Relationships Are The Keys To Your Health & How To Feed, Clean & Protect Your Body Forever," during which we discussed his history of coming to Idaho from Miami (with the dream of becoming a farmer) and how he eventually became an expert in the water filtration industry, his journey from evangelical Christianity to...

News Flashes – Follow Ben on Twitter for more… Want more morning alertness? Here's what the research says: How people wake up is associated with the previous night’s sleep together with physical activity and food intake...11:26 When it comes to exercise intensity, you constantly hear that (a) HIIT lowers the risk of mortality more than moderate-intensity continuous exercise, (b) HIIT doubles endurance performance after only 15 min of training over 2 weeks, (c) 1 min of HIIT is equivalent...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Dr. Andy recommends drinking filtered (reverse osmosis) and structured water. He developed...

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...

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...

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,...
