Modafinil: Is This Wildly Popular Smart Drug Safe And Effective? (& What It Can Do For Your Sleep Cycles & Brain Health).
bengreenfieldfitness.com/modafinil Modafinil (also known as "Provigil"). It's the darling of the smart drug industry, and has been for quite some time. With over 200 human clinical studies in the past 10 years, it is reported to have few to no side effects, to not be addictive and to not be excessively stimulating. It's used by notable figures like Joe Rogan, Ray Kurzweil, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, Tim Ferriss and many others. It's the entire inspiration behind the smart drug movie Limitless with Bradley Cooper. It may increase resistance to fatigue and improve mood, reaction time and vigilance, while simultaneously reducing bad decision making. Laboratory studies have even shown that it may have potent antioxidative and neuroprotective effects. Modafinil is also of a high interest to the US military for enhancing alertness and reducing battle fatigue. Acute modafinil ingestion significantly increases exercise time to exhaustion. So what could go wrong? Is this stuff too good to be true? Surely there must be some dark biological side of this supposed super smart drug. In today's podcast, I host a guest who knows more about the science of modafinil than anyone I'm aware of, and who, conveniently, happens to live just a few miles from my house: Dr. Jonathan Wisor. During our discussion, you'll discover: -How Jonathan became interested in sleep and neuroscience...8:05 -What is Modafinil, exactly?...13:40 -How various neurotransmitters respond to modafinil...19:30 -Antioxidant and neuroprotective effects of modafinil...23:20 -How modafinil use can go wrong...31:15 -Whether or not genetics determine a response to modafinil...47:05 -How Modafinil affects sleep cycles...49:50 -How long does modafinil stay in the bloodstream after taking it...54:15 -Effects of combining modafinil w/ alcohol and drugs...57:55 -Why Jonathan has never used modafinil personally...1:05:50 Episode sponsors: Kion Creatine, Beekeeper's Naturals, Thrive Market, Seed bengreenfieldfitness.com/modafinilSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hunting Down EMF In Your Office, Bedroom, Gym & Beyond: Is Your Home's "Dirty Electricity" Wrecking Your Sleep, Your Recovery, Your Health & More? The Official Ben Greenfield & Brian Hoyer Low-EMF Home How-To.
bengreenfieldfitness.com/shieldedhealingpodcast Sit back and prepare for a wild ride, because it's finally here: The official, fully updated, EMF-shielding "building biology" analysis of my biohacked home in the forest. Are your sleep-enhancing devices potentially hurting your brain and sleep patterns due to the dirty electricity they emit during a night of sleep? Is a "low-EMF" office really low EMF? Do "healthy" saunas produce EMFs or dirty electricity? Is it OK to use popular grounding or earthing devices? Do any of those fancy EMF personal protection devices actually work? How big a deal are cell phone towers or 5G panels, even if you don't live directly nearby one? We'll tackle these questions and plenty more as you get to listen in (and watch, using the video here on this page) during an entire building biology analysis of the Greenfield home. My guest on today's show, Brian Hoyer, first joined me on the show "The Intriguing Science Of Building Biology (Along With A Complete Analysis & Surprising Results From Ben Greenfield’s So-Called “Biohacked Home”)". Brian’s dive into health started when he became a father wanting to provide the most optimal growing environment for his family. His desire for them to thrive—and his devotion to discover the truth—drove him to find the most insightful and effective cutting-edge methods for addressing what’s really going on in our bodies and environments. This led Brian to become a functional nutritional therapy practitioner, train with The Klinghardt Academy, and become a certified geobiologist trained by a pioneering naturopathic and environmental medicine clinic in Austria that’s been addressing EMFs and geopathic stress since 1983. Brian and his wife, Lindsey, built an EMF shielded tiny house in the summer of 2017. Brian travels all over the country doing EMF assessments, speaking at conferences and on podcasts, and helping families install shielding solutions. After testing many homes for EMF around the country Brian founded Shielded Healing in 2017 with the goal of helping modern humanity recreate electromagnetic environments that more closely mimic our historic human habitats. According to Brian, EMF testing and mitigation has been stuck in the same pattern for 20-30 years. The last 10-15 years professionals all around the world have been recommending the same solutions even as our exposure has increased 500-1000 times or more. The same fabrics, the same meters, the same recommendations, and saying pretty much the same things, despite the drastic increase in exposures and chronic illness.

Why Your Pursuit Of A Better Body & The Perfect Diet Is Never Going To Make You Happy, How Christians Should Make Food Choices, The Ultimate Source Of Joy & Much More With Doug Wilson.
"You can sin with food in many ways -- by not sharing it, by eating way too much of it, by throwing it across the restaurant table... But you do not sin with food by bowing your head over it, saying grace with true gratitude in your heart, and tucking in." These words come from a book written by today's guest - Doug Wilson. His sharp-edged but humorous title Confessions of a Food Catholic addresses the unscriptural approach to food that many Christians have developed in recent years (by the way, a "food catholic" is somebody who accepts all eaters of all foods, even if he or she doesn't actually eat quinoa). Specifically, the book addresses divisive threats to Christian table fellowship, the know-it-all pride of newfangled "health food" rules, and the dislocated moralism that makes "organic" and "natural" the signs of righteousness while disdaining the brethren who buy their beef at Stuffmart. In today's podcast, Doug and I get into his approach to how Christianity mingles with food choices, and much more - including longevity and anti-aging, nutrition, diets fitness and the ultimate source of the joy and happiness so many of us turn to these type of activities to fulfill. We also discuss Doug's take on Joel Salatin, the true cost of food, and how we care for the planet. Doug Wilson is an old family friend of mine, the minister of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, which is a member of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC) and church I attended all throughout my childhood and during college. After his stint in the submarine service of the U.S. Navy, he attended the University of Idaho, where he obtained an MA in philosophy. As one of its founders, Doug has served on the board of Logos School, a classical and Christian school (K-12), since its inception. He is also a Senior Fellow of theology at New St. Andrews College, which I consider to be one of the better liberal arts institutions in the country. He is the author of numerous books, including Reforming Marriage, The Case for Classical Christian Education, Letter from a Christian Citizen, and Blackthorn Winter. Doug is also the general editor for the Omnibus textbook series. His blog can be found at www.dougwils.com and his metric ton of grandkids can be found spread across the planet with rapidly increasing frequency. During this discussion, you'll discover: -What is a "food catholic?"...9:15 -How to identify what Doug calls "phood pharisees"...12:35 -How people use diets as a substitute for true righteousness...16:50 -How to use food to assist in the pursuit of holiness...22:15 -How food as an anti-aging tactic can enhance or detract from your spirituality...26:25 -Advice for social situations where you're offered food you personally find objectionable... 36:50 -How to view food with respect to the humane treatment of God's creation...41:50 -Balancing rigorous physical and spiritual disciplines...52:00 -The one thing fitness buffs need to hear the most...1:00:15 bengreenfieldfitness.com/dougwilsonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
