What Are The Best Fat Loss Supplements, Controlling Blood Sugar During Ketosis, Natural Asthma Remedies and More!

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, temporarily or even permanently altering them. Dr. Marcos De Andrade, who goes by Dr. De and I met at his facility in Miami called Biohax. The services at Biohax include complete biochemical analyses with panels designed to look at different concerns such as performance, mood, and toxin exposure. Based on those results, the “health magicians” at Biohax apply what they call their “4R Strategy” to remove inflammatory agents, replenish micronutrients, reinoculate your gut, and recover through sleep and therapeutics. In this discussion with Dr. De, we open up the Liver King controversy (a topic I haven't spoken about on a podcast yet) and we discuss growth hormones, how to regenerate your thymus gland, safe steroids, peptides, muscle building, maintenance, and more.  Full show notes here: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/drde   Episode sponsors:   Joovv: Get an exclusive discount on your first order of my favorite in-home light therapy devices.

From the energy of the earth to the sustaining breath of air, from the heat of fire to the nourishing force of water... ...the four elements are regarded as cornerstones that form the basis of different understandings, from religious traditions to philosophical theories. The concept of those four fundamental forces dates back centuries to when the Ancient Greeks sought to explain the principles between visible phenomena and the natural world. The ancient belief was that living things required all four elements to sustain a healthy life. From mythical folklores spanning multiple civilizations to Hippocrates making medicinal use of environmental elements like the earth's dirt or sunlight, the elements have been foundational to theories of health and healing. Last month, I had the pleasure of joining my friend Dr. John Lieurance for a full-day event in Sarasota, Florida for an event centered around the four elements called Elements of Vitality. The event gave participants the chance to hear from and connect with renowned professionals in the medical field, with presentations and breakout groups throughout the day. Dr. Lieurance is a naturopathic physician, chiropractic neurologist, and all-around expert in medical biohacking who has been in private practice in Florida for 25 years. He's the chief scientific advisor of MitoZen Scientific and heads up Advanced Rejuvenation,  a multi-disciplinary clinic focused on treating chronic diseases, regenerative medicine, functional neurology, functional medicine, and stem cell research. He is also the founder of Out of Box Doc, an alternative and regenerative medical center that treats injuries and diseases.

You may have heard me talking lately about the "giant robot" in my gym - an advanced piece of exercise equipment built with a powerful two horsepower engine. It is the primary means by which I have been becoming "strong as a bull" of late with only three 20 minute strength training sessions per week. I've known about this crazy machine for years, but finally got one installed in my gym about 12 weeks ago and the results have been unparalleled. It's called the ARX. The ARX - which stands for Adaptive Resistance Exercise - is a mashup of single set to failure training and superslow training that can be used for extreme efficiency strength training or for rehab. The ARX technology “biohacks” strength training with a computer-controlled, motorized resistance that is capable of matching any force you produce, giving you a perfect rep with every rep. Unlike a traditional weight training machine that requires you to adjust the weight with pins or plates, there is no need to set the resistance while using ARX. Instead, the machine applies opposing resistance in direct proportion to what you are producing at each moment in time throughout an entire rep. The entire effort for that one single set to failure is then measured and displayed by the software in real-time. Special Offer Two years of additional ARX care (hardware warranty – parts & labor), bringing the total warranty to three years for all of Ben’s listeners.

I've been podcasting twice a week now for many years. The result is several hundred episodes of content that, taken together, are a virtual library of in-depth information on topics ranging from those as specific as the best mattresses to as vast as spirituality. As we are now only hours away from 2023, I'm looking back on the past year of podcasting with fondness. The scientists, CEOs, doctors, and many others who appeared on the show this year have taught me way more than I ever could have anticipated. When my team and I decided to do this final episode of 2022, featuring what we've decided to call the top podcasts of the year, I could not pick favorites. The episodes here, instead, are those that you listened to most. We've taken them down in length so that you can hear the highlights of each episode over the course of a single episode that is around an hour and a half long. Then, of course, if you want more, we've linked to the original podcast so you can listen to the entire episode. Thank you, sincerely for your support of my podcast this past year. I can't wait for you to hear what's in store for 2023, with even more high-quality discussion, educational content, personal stories, and even music and entertainment.

Danny and Maura Vega are two of the superstar parents featured in my upcoming Boundless Parenting book.   They are the founders of Fat Fueled Family LLC, a blog, podcast, and YouTube channel dedicated to leading a movement that empowers families to eat better, move more, and grow closer. I interviewed Danny, the author of the children’s book series Unexplainable Adventures, the first fictional, character-based series of growth and development books geared specifically for children. After working as a basketball strength and conditioning coach, Danny spent ten years in the medical device industry before starting Fat Fueled Family LLC. If you are searching for a holistic parenting approach where food, education, relationships, movement, spirituality, and the outdoors all hold an equally important space in your child's upbringing, you will love this episode. The Vega's are very purposeful when it comes to the food they eat as a family; we get to learn what foods are out, what foods are in, and why. They are also purposeful and passionate about the kind of schooling their children experience, learning from mistakes as they go. I enjoyed our quick chat about different kinds of "unschooling" methods and great resources that can help parents choose.  I am a huge fan of creating Rites of Passage for my children. It's important to involve children in Rites of Passage as they move through different stages of life. This gives them a sense of independence, confidence, pride, and ownership over their life. Danny talks to us a bit about the Rites of Passage that he's laid out for his sons.  For the full show notes, visit: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/vega Episode sponsors: Essentia: Essentia organic mattresses are the only mattress to score best on eliminating all sleep-interrupting stimulants.
