Nerdy Ways To Lose Fat, Build Muscle & Maintain A Nice Body As You Age.

Lately, I've been venturing down the rabbit hole of longevity and the marvels of anti-aging science... ...and there's a compound that keeps leaping out at me from every corner, fascinating me: Rapamycin. With its potent claims in enhancing life and battling the deteriorating effects of age, I decided to dig deeper, and that's when I stumbled upon Ross Pelton's groundbreaking book Rapamycin: Rapamycin, mTOR, Autophagy & Treating mTOR Syndrome. Rapamycin, an FDA-approved drug, has significant potential for life extension, as highlighted in the text. After thorough research, I decided to start taking a 5mg dose of Rapamycin weekly. The man behind the book, Ross Pelton, is a prodigy in the field of health and longevity. An esteemed pharmacist, nutritionist, and author, Ross has established himself as a stalwart in the domain of drug-induced nutrient depletions, even being recognized as one of America's top 50 influential pharmacists. A treasure trove of knowledge, Ross's background spans over three decades of groundbreaking research and invaluable scientific experience. His expertise ranges from the intricate world of pharmaceuticals to the holistic approach of natural therapies. From depression and anxiety to ADD & ADHD, Ross has touched upon some of the most pressing health concerns of our age, guiding thousands globally. In our engrossing conversation today, we unravel the mysteries of Rapamycin. How was it discovered? Who truly benefits from it? We get into the intricacies of mTOR syndrome, explore the nuances of gut microbiome care, share with you how to get Rapamycin for yourself (and at what cost), and much more.

From the bustling corridors of Goldman Sachs to the humming fields of bee apiaries, my guest today, Carly Stein Kremer, took a path that defies convention.  The link is a chance discovery of propolis (the "immune system" of a beehive) during her travels abroad, which didn't just alleviate her long-standing health woes but redefined her entire life's mission. Now, instead of stock charts, Carly's world revolves around bee charts, and instead of fiscal health, she's dedicated to championing the incredible health benefits of bees and their offerings. Carly's not just another entrepreneur; she's a bee ambassador. She's a voice for sustainable beekeeping, advocating for our planet's key pollinators in ways many overlook. And it's not just about making a product through her company Beekeeper’s Naturals; it's about a holistic approach – partnering with responsible apiaries, researching with top bee institutions, and ensuring that every product that carries the Beekeeper’s Naturals name stands up to rigorous, pesticide-free standards. She did all this while being a flagbearer for change, with accolades like the Forbes 30 Under 30 acknowledging her visionary stride. A well-known expert, Carly has also been featured in Allure and Vogue magazine, along with numerous podcast appearances to share the importance of bees in our daily lives. Beekeeper's Naturals offers a compelling glimpse into the inherent magic of propolis. This wondrous substance, the defender of the hive, brims with essential vitamins, antioxidants, and a plethora of beneficial compounds, providing a natural defense mechanism for both bees and humans. And Carly's brand ensures this magic is captured in its most organic, uncontaminated form. (Use code BEN to save 20%) Today, Carly unveils the enigmatic universe of bees and their potent treasures. Together, we navigate the intricacies of propolis, nature's defender, highlighting its pivotal role in protecting the hive and its ancient recognition as a natural healer. Along the way, we also get into the less trodden trails, like the potent influence of bee products on fertility and the fascinating world of bee venom therapy.  Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/beekeeperpodcast Episode Sponsors Organifi is a delicious superfood tea with powerful superfoods and mushrooms to help you sleep and recover so you can wake up refreshed and energized.

In today's episode, you'll delve into the fascinating world of minerals – those seemingly tiny elements that play such a gargantuan role in the functioning of your body. Enter Caroline Alan, a mineral enthusiast who transformed her life and health through the sheer power of mineral replenishment. I first learned about Caroline and her work from my good friend Dr. Matt Cook during a trip to San Jose. Caroline's story resonated deeply with me, and I knew it was one you'd appreciate. Once thriving in the corporate realm, Caroline found her health spiraling out of control. Desperate for answers and repeatedly told her ailments were "just normal," she embarked on a quest for healing. This journey led her to a crucial realization: the profound impact of minerals, especially plant-based humic and fulvic substances. From insomnia and adrenal depletion to transformative recovery, Caroline's story underscores the power of the right minerals at the right time. As we navigate this conversation, we'll unravel Caroline's personal journey, discuss the intricate relationship between adrenals and minerals, explore the significance of sourcing plant-based minerals, and even delve into the methods to test and track our mineral levels. If you've ever found yourself fatigued, stressed, or simply curious about the underlying mechanics of your body's processes, this episode will open your eyes to the vital world of BEAM Minerals and their impact on every cell in your body. Trust me, by the end, you'll have a newfound appreciation for these often-overlooked elements and the role they play in our health and wellness.

For years, I’ve been talking about how if I could choose one single method of cardiovascular training to do the rest of my life, it would be the use of this strange “VASPER" machine that holds a hollowed place in my home gym. It’s a bit difficult to describe, but essentially VASPER combines blood flow restriction/compression, cold thermogenesis, and full-body high-intensity interval training in a single 21-minute workout that seems to give the same benefits as, a comparable 2- to 3-hour workout of running, cycling, swimming, etc. It’s truly something I consider to be the ultimate biohacking “shortcut” to getting fit. Don’t give me wrong: it’s a challenging workout when you use VASPER, but when you combine all of the technologies within this impressive unit, the fitness payoff is huge. In today's chat with Peter Wasowski, we unravel the magic behind VASPER, merging compression, cooling, and high-intensity workouts. We'll touch on its unique effects on body temperature and blood flow, and even get a sneak peek at the upcoming VASPER Breath device. Whether you're a fitness novice or a seasoned biohacker, this chat with Peter offers insights you won't want to miss.

If you tuned into Part 1 of this two-part podcast series with the exceptional Dr. Ahvie Herskowitz of Anatara Medicine, you’ve already been afforded a glimpse into the future of healthcare. During that episode, Ahvie and I touched upon revolutionary treatments such as ultrasound-guided injections, the most effective stem cell applications, and the potential of Kimera Exosomes. If Part 1 piqued your curiosity, Part 2 promises to be just as intriguing. Today, Dr. Ahvie, with insights from Dr. Shawn Tierney, unpacks the hydrodissection procedure for the nervous system. Imagine a therapeutic session for your nerves, a procedure that offers immediate relief from conditions like migraines, hypertension, tachycardia, and the elusive Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). This lesser-known procedure holds tremendous promise; it's astonishing how specific injections can provide transformative results, drastically improving a patient's quality of life. Transitioning to the topic of stem cells, a realm filled with much hope and discussion in recent years, Ahvie shares his expertise on adipose-derived stem cells, suggesting a promising direction in regenerative medicine. With firsthand accounts from patients who've benefited from these treatments, this episode stands as a beacon of what integrative medicine offers. Through Ahvie's expertise, we get a vivid picture of the next phase in medical evolution - one that beckons enhanced wellness, rejuvenation, and a better quality of life.
