To Hell & Back With Autoimmune Disease: How To Heal Autoimmunity With Diet, Relationships, Lifestyle & More.

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!
