Audio Question from Danny: Which is better for a relaxed day with the kids, Frozen Yoghurt or regular Ice Cream?

~ In my response, I mention our coconut ice cream recipe.

Audio Question from Scott: He really enjoys baking bread, all from scratch and no processed flower. He uses a soaking process called "Pre-fermentation", where you soak the ground grains. Is this the same as soaking them prior to grinding?

~ In my response to Scott, I recommend the book Nourishing Traditions. I also mention my podcast with Dr. William Davis.

Audio Question from Dwayne: He currently takes CoQ10, 10mg a day. Is there a benefit to taking more than that or to cycle it?

Audio Question from Trisha: She and her husband are runners who do Tia-Kwan-do. When they ramp up for a race, they feel like they are losing flexibility. Why and how is that happening and how can they counteract that?

~ In my response to Trisha, I mention these exercises.

Audio Question from Sandy: Ben has spoken against birth control pills but recommend Vitamin D supplements. Why is the synthetic hormone Vit D ok when the other is not?

~ In my response to Sandy, I recommend the book "Sex, Lies & Menopause". Also the Lady Comp Fertility Monitor.

Audio Question from Brandon: Exercise frequency - how much is appropriate just for looking good and being fit? Should you exercise every day? If so, how do you adjust the intensity/duration to not overdo it?

Audio Question from Andy: What is earthing? Was his dad right when he told him as a child to "go rub some dirt on it" when he got hurt?

~ I my response to Andy I mention: Thermographic grounding images, Sleeping grounded study, Immune system grounding study, Circadian Rhythm Study. I also mention Grounding Mats.

Audio Question from Bad Workout Guy: Do you ever have a bad workout day? Out of breath, tired, have to stop to get some air, even though it is the same workout you have done before with no issue.

~ In my response, I mention Restwise. I also mention the emwave2 for tracking heart rate variability.

Audio Question from Stephan: Hill Training. Running for a couple years. Endurance is getting good and pace is picking up. Training for a marathon in the fall. Hills always wipe him out. Struggles with them every time. Do you have any tips on how to attach hills? Stride, technique, strength training?

~ The Wildflower Hill Running tips.

Audio Question from Sara: How and why do sports energy drinks (Red Bull, Rockstar) work? How bad are they for you? Is it ok to have them every once in a while?

Audio Question from Sam: He has a question about getting Omega-3 as a vegetarian. What's the highest dose he should get at one time to get the most benefit? Should he spread it out over the whole day or get it all at once?

~ In my response I mention www.EnergyBits.com (use 10% discount code BEN)

Why “Old-School” Methods For Managing Pain Don't Work, & How To Use The NEW Understanding of Cells & Body Electricity To Manage Chronic Pain Better, With Dr. Stephen Hussey

Why “Old-School” Methods For Managing Pain Don't Work, & How To Use The NEW Understanding of Cells & Body Electricity To Manage Chronic Pain Better, With Dr. Stephen Hussey

The sensation of pain has played an essential role in the evolution of life. As life evolved to be more complex, the mechanisms of how pain is created and felt have also become more complex. While pain signaling is essential for the success of any species, humans are facing an epidemic of pathologic pain signaling that has no usefulness for survival: chronic pain. This epidemic of chronic pain is creating the unnecessary suffering of millions of people. It costs millions of dollars to treat and prevents millions of people from working. Furthermore, the treatments offered by modern medicine (drugs and surgery) are not only ineffective but also cause more problems than they solve. Dr. Hussey guides clients from around the world back to health by using the latest research and health-attaining strategies. In his downtime, he likes to be outdoors, play sports, read, write, and travel.

Cutting-Edge Regenerative Medicine, Budget-Friendly Biohacks, The *Truth* About Vegetable Oils, Optimizing Health Like a Battery?!, Ketogenic Diet Insights & More: The Most Listened-To Episodes of 2024

As 2024 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on a journey that has been nothing short of extraordinary. This year alone, the podcast hit over 4,800,000 downloads—reminding me of the incredible community we’ve built together. When I started nearly two decades ago, the podcasting world was a far cry from the global phenomenon it is today. Back then, it was a fledgling medium—an experiment to see if people would connect with raw, unfiltered conversations (in my case, about health, fitness, and the human experience). Fast forward to today—it’s incredible to see how this space has evolved. Through this growth, I’ve been privileged to host podcasts twice a week, year after year, producing thousands of episodes. What began with shows like Endurance Planet, Get-Fit Guy, Rock Star Triathlete Academy, Train For Top Dollar, and Ben Greenfield Fitness has blossomed into a legacy of content that explores not just the edges of human performance but the very heart of what it means to live a boundless life. As we look ahead to 2025, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and excitement. The mountains ahead are even taller, the challenges greater, and the opportunities more boundless than ever. Thank you for being part of this journey—cheers to another year of discovery, growth, and transformation! To recap how far we've come together, I welcome you to a special edition "Best of 2024" episode! In this show, you’ll get to revisit the year's most compelling insights, cutting-edge therapies, and transformative lifestyle strategies. Join me as we explore practical tips, personal routines, and strategies designed to optimize your health, longevity, and vitality. From using advanced tools like PEMF mats and smart home setups to my systematic approach to high-intensity interval training, intermittent fasting, and targeted supplementation, you’ll get to uncover actionable insights for limitless life optimization. This episode isn’t just a recap of the best of 2024—it’s a roadmap for how you can elevate your health, performance, and longevity in 2025. Let’s dive in!
