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 discover:
  • Ben’s latest adventures with botox 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…
I also want give a quick thank you to all of you who have reached out with well-wishes.

(In case you missed the previous episode, early this summer I was seriously injured in an a high-speed hit-and-run. I’m still recovering from a gnarly concussion, herniated discs, and ligament damage. The other driver fled, but I’m grateful to have a team of Docs and Pros helping me recover. I’m making good progress with physical and balance therapy and I’ll keep you all updated.)

The discussions naturally explore the practical connections between metabolic health, cognitive performance, and building a meaningful career or business. Launched back in 2012, the show has evolved from its original, playful focus into a broader exploration of what it means to live well and work smart.

Each episode feels like a chance to sit in on a private masterclass, stripping away the hype to examine what truly works for optimizing a modern life.
