https://bengreenfieldlife.com/sleepwithessentia My guest on this podcast, Jack Dell’Accio, is the Founder and CEO of Essentia, which is the world’s only naturalmemory foam mattress. Jack has dedicated the last 16 years to studying mattresses and sleep health. His journey began after experiencing a family member’s battle with cancer. After being made aware of the toxins in everyday items, the Dell’Accio family struggled to find a mattress that offered pressure relief and posture support without introducing toxins to the bedroom. He realized at that point how important this was not only for someone battling disease but also for healthy people. Knowing that you spend a third of your life sleeping on what can be the most toxic item in your home is why Jack stepped in to develop Essentia’s patented natural memory foam which is made using only the highest quality natural and organic ingredients to ensure that you are not being exposed to the toxic chemicals. Over those years, Jack discovered a way to create a mattress that was toxin-free and healthy so that others wouldn't have to suffer from health issues like his relative did. His determination finally led him to create, patent and invent a mattress that is handmade in Canada with the world's only all-natural memory foam, composed of natural latex, plant extracts, essential oils and water. In other words, Jack figured out how to manufacture the greenest, healthiest and most comfortable night's sleep you'll ever have. And the ingredients used in this no-spring, no-wool mattress are unlike any you've ever seen, including: Hevea Milk – the milky white “sap” of the rubber tree, collected much like maple tree sap. This milk is processed to make the Essentia natural memory foam, which is known for its durability, support qualities and purity… Organic Essential Oils – a natural and healthy alternative to man-made oils or petroleum commonly used in other mattresses. Grapefruit seed, cone flower essence and jasmine essence all help achieve proper consistency in the Essentia natural memory foam while providing soothing and rejuvenating properties to your body… Natural Plant Extracts – as a substitution to harsh toxic chemicals used in conventional memory foam, plant extracts such as hydrolyzed corn help Essentia achieve the proper consistency for their natural memory foam… Certified Organic Cotton – Every Essentia mattress is wrapped in 100% GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified unbleached organic cotton, grown without any chemicals, synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Rather than using toxic glue, they use a non-toxic adhesive made from liquid latex and acrylic resin to hold their natural memory foam layers together. Of course, Essentia also has 5 pound density memory foam throughout, an extremely low mmHG (this is very important for your joint biomechanics as you sleep) and a 20-year warranty on the most durable memory foam on the face of the planet. So basically, you not just get the best sleep ever on an Essentia mattress, but you could probably even eat an Essentia mattress. These mattresses are also held to the strictest of strict standards. As a matter of fact, here's an extensive list of all the rigorous tests and certifications the Essentia mattresses go through. The end result is a completely guilt-free, hypo-allergenic, non-toxic sleeping experience unlike any you'll ever experience. You'll roll out of bed feeling ready to conquer the world, with zero pressure points or tossing and turning during the night. Over the last few years Jack has been working with the Delos Wellness and data from their Well Living Lab / Mayo Clinic collaboration. They consider Essentia the best suited mattress for human sustainability as we score highest on all sleep environment pillars. Poor sleep environment often is the source of stimulants that increase activity of the CNS and prevent longer deep sleep cycles. They go into a broader range in looking into how these effect human behavior, happiness, and productivity. During our discussion, you'll discover: -How Jack got interested in sleep and mattresses... -How Essentia tackles the allergens issue... -How Essentia differs from most memory foams on the market... -The 7 sleep environment stimulants that keep you awake at night... -How the Essentia mattress helps with EMF... -Gold standard mattress setup... -Hybrid mattresses to help out with the wallet... -And much more...

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/energybalance Are you exercising too much? Is hormesis a bad thing? How much exercise is too much? Should we be avoiding things like carb restriction, saunas and cold? Is caloric restriction really not necessary for lifespan? My first guest on this podcast - Jay Feldman - is a health coach, independent health researcher, and the host of The Energy Balance Podcast, and has strong opinions on all the questions above, and many others. He has degrees in neuroscience and exercise physiology from the University of Miami and decided to forgo medical school after realizing that the conventional medical approach was not the solution to the health problems that so many of us face. After working through various conventional and alternative health paradigms and trialing countless diets (including everything from vegetarian to keto), Jay came across the idea that cellular energy is the foundation of our health. He now uses a bioenergetic approach to help men and women around the world maximize their cellular energy and achieve freedom from low-energy symptoms like chronic hunger & cravings, fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, gut issues, and weight gain. Jay is joined here by Mike Fave, an independent researcher, and a Registered Nurse. Traditionally educated in western medicine as an RN, his true passion is independent research. He spent close to a decade with his head inside a Pubmed article or a physiology textbook, and his heart in some type of nutrition or supplement experiment. In the beginning of his journey, Mike damaged his health getting caught up in dietary dogma and nutrition ideology. He went the western medical route to try to fix the damage and wound up getting talked into a surgery he didn’t need. It’s taken him years to recover, but he doesn't regret it because he learned significantly from his mistakes. He saw all sides of the spectrum from being a patient to being a practitioner to being a part of the alternative health scene. He takes his lessons, experiences, and knowledge to help others not only avoid the mistakes he made, but help them rebuild their health without dogma, ideology, or authoritarianism. During our discussion, you'll discover: -The history of the bioenergetic model... -How Jay and Mike reconcile the dichotomy between their view and the traditional view of a hormetic approach to health... -Why the traditional hormetic model is incorrect... -What causes energy access that leads to chronic disease… -What Jay and Mike's model looks like in the real world... -Clarity on what Jay and Mike's model does NOT mean... -Better ways to get the benefits of hormesis without the stress of hormesis... -And much more...

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/freerangeinterview Our kids need us now more than ever... -Why are our children more sick, unfocused and depressed than any generation before them?  -Is a shift in childhood education happening, what will it look like?  -Why are more people homeschooling and unschooling than ever, and could it work for a busy family? -What is authoritarian parenting and schooling, and how will it hurt my child in their adult life?  -If discipline doesn't feel right, what is the alternative?  -How can we reverse autism and chronic disease and what role do vaccines really play? These questions and more were addressed in the recent Raising Free Range Kids conference, at which Yours Truly was invited to give a presentation on parenting. To be quite honest, I don't feel at all qualified to speak with authority on the topic of parenting as I've yet to finish the job of raising my two boys. I'd just as soon someone who has raised children into adulthood be a speaker at such an event, at which you'd find me on the front row taking copious notes. But in spite of my objections, conference organizer Robin Shirley insisted she interview me, my wife Jessa and my two boys River and Terran via Zoom about the lifestyle, rituals and experiences of life in the Greenfield home, and that interview is what you'll hear on today's episode. And you'll forgive the cow tongue meat occasionally stuck in my teeth... We did the call while we were having dinner! Meet Robin Shirley Robin Shirley is the Founding President of Take Back Your Health Int’l, a company that hosts health conferences and retreats across the U.S. She speaks, consults and writes about The Take Back Your Health Lifestyle and how to reduce the symptoms of chronic illness, especially in children. Robin is a mother of two beautiful babies, a passionate cook, a Medical Intuitive, Reiki Master Practitioner, Energy Healer, Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and a member of the American Board of Drugless Practitioners. She has helped thousands of people overcome the symptoms of Chronic Lyme Disease, Autoimmune Disease and Depression through her energy healing sessions, intuitive readings, and nutrition, detoxification and healing protocols. Robin grew up with chronic pain, headaches, rashes, depression, digestive discomfort and out-of-control systemic inflammation, and was diagnosed with Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at 11 years old. She tried everything to heal naturally. Food overhauls helped a little, supplements helped a little, but nothing truly took the pain away. At 23 years old, Robin was on track to file for disability and give up on her dream to run her own hospitality company. Robin has personally experienced the power of a natural approach to reducing pain and inflammation. Fast forward and Robin is now 32 years old, a mother of two beautiful babies, fiancé to the love of her life and running the business of her dreams. She  is in the process of writing her first book and launching online healing programs for chronically ill patients to get healthy from home. Robin writes and posts about the Take Back Your Health Lifestyle on www.ClubTBYH.com During this episode, you'll discover: -The Greenfield family eating traditions... -The core message of Ben's upcoming parenting book... -Ben's morning routines... -Jessa's and the boys' morning routines... -How two new children affected Ben and Jessa's lifestyle... -Solidifying values and purpose specific to a family... -How River and Terran spend their days... -Silver linings discovered among the capricious clouds of Covid-19... -And much more!

https://bengreenfieldlife.com/stemcellpodcast I recently underwent the full body stem cell makeover protocol with Dr. Harry Adelson and Dr. Amy Killen, who you'll be introduced to in just a moment. With that being said, I wanted to break down the details about the procedure and my experience with it for those of you who may be interested in a stem cell makeover, or are just plain old fascinated by it. I did an Instagram Live last week where a lot of you may have seen me in one of those fancy hospital gowns, hooked up to a dialysis machine where they were pumping out tons of my blood out of one arm and then re-introducing it back into my body via the other arm. By the process of hyperoxygenation, the blood coming out of my body is being bombarded with ultraviolet light, causing the blood to turn from dark red to light red through the filtering process, and that light red, filtered blood is then pumped back into my body, leaving me with super clean, purified blood. So, what's the point of all this and why would people want to do this? So the point of this exact protocol that I underwent in the Instagram Live video is typically performed to purify the blood as much as possible, starting with a big bone marrow aspiration, where they concentrate the stem cells from the bone marrow for the treatment. The best candidates for a procedure like this are people who may be experiencing chronic arthritic pain or people who don't even want to get to that point as a preventative measure. A couple of benefits noted from the procedure were an improvement in sleep, faster recovery post-workout, as well as improved sexual experience in terms of firmness of the erection, the orgasm, etc. And, of course, the big one is improving on the present pain whether it's in your neck, back, or elsewhere. It's a game-changer for people who are in a lot of pain and just want to get back to feeling like they did when they were younger. It's like an oil change for the body, completely non-invasive, pain-free, and easy to do. So without further adieu, let's meet the doctors at Docere Clinics behind this stem cell makeover, Dr. Harry Adelson and Dr. Amy Killen. In this episode, you'll discover: -How Dr. Adelson became involved in stem cell therapy... -How the stem cell industry continues to evolve... -The stem cell therapy sequence... -Why people would seek stem cell therapy... -Aesthetic and sexual effects of Amy's portion of the treatment... -How you feel after the procedure... -Does it matter where the stem cells come from?... -Biohacks to stack with stem cell therapy... -Costs for the treatment... -How to find out more about Docere Clinics... -And much more!
