Dr. Isaac and Erica have built their family over years of working together in business, curating their parenting practices, and navigating some of the most difficult and rewarding adventures possible for any parent. This wisdom has been hard-earned and deeply tested. Let their results be your map.  Their innovative and heartfelt approach to parenting landed them a feature in my book, Boundless Parenting, which is also available now in audiobook form, where you can listen to Dr. Isaac & Erica narrate their section of the book. And this is the greater topic of today's podcast: Family and everything that comes with it. We discuss topics ranging from parenting styles to love languages and even go into how I almost got a divorce and what Jessa and I did to weather our marriage problems (as well as Isaac and Erica's tactics for mitigating marital turmoil). Credited as “The Doctor of the Future” by Jeff Arnold, the founder of WebMD.com, Dr. Jones is a relentless trailblazer in the realm of innovative healthcare solutions. He and Erica's brainchild, the Health Experts Alliance (HEA), serves as a beacon for progressive doctors and health entrepreneurs, guiding them to create predictably profitable businesses that prioritize freedom.

Did you know there's a good chance you're unknowingly sharing your body with parasites? Sorry to break it to you, but most people play host to those nasty little critters. Parasites can cause a range of symptoms beyond gastrointestinal distress. The two main types of intestinal parasites are helminths, which are multi-cell parasitic worms, and protozoa, which are microscopic, single-cell parasites. Protozoa are harder to detect because they are invisible to the naked eye and may not cause immediate symptoms. Parasite infection can occur through a variety of means, including swimming in contaminated water, consuming unwashed produce or undercooked seafood, caring for others, outdoor activities, and drinking contaminated water. Symptoms of a parasite can vary depending on the type of parasite but often include gastrointestinal distress, weight loss, chronic fatigue, anemia, joint pain, bruxism, and fevers. Intestinal parasites can also be a trigger for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. So they're a pretty serious problem, difficult to detect and even more difficult to eradicate. My guest on this podcast Chervin Jafarieh has developed an incredible solution for parasites called ParaX by Cymbiotika (use code BEN to save 15%). Though in the past, I've mostly recommended a biofilm disruptor and oil of oregano combinations, this new formulation beats that, hands down. It is one of the most impressive parasite eradication protocols I've ever come across. ParaX is a diverse and comprehensive approach to balancing the gut microbiome, enhancing detox pathways, fortifying the immune system, and providing whole-body wellness. Encapsulated within powerful ozonated, oxygen-infused oils, ParaX utilizes vitamins, minerals, standardized herbal extracts, fatty acids, and phenols. The formula was designed by Chervin with the intention to deliver optimal results (use code BEN to save 15%).

It's time for a big announcement: I and my 15-year-old twin sons River and Terran have been up to a very special, top-secret, behind-the-scenes project that we are now officially unveiling. This one is guaranteed to get your fart rate - er - heart rate up, so keep reading if you want to know our deepest, stinkiest secrets that we're about to unleash on the world - and how you can help!  This entire story starts with an unexpected turn when a passport mishap unexpectedly stranded our entire Greenfield family back home in the USA - instead of the tropical paradise of Costa Rica. This unplanned staycation became the catalyst for a moment of inspiration that led to the birth of a new venture—a father-son gaming company called “Fried Pickle Games” and our very first hilarious, stinky, and extremely fun-to-play game for all ages: The Fart of War. Full show notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/podcast/fartofwar The Official Fart Of War Launch And now please clench your cheeks because here comes the exciting part, the launch of our very first card game: The Fart Of War!  The Fart Of War -  a simple, easy-to-learn, two-deck card game that makes you chuckle, snort wine out your nose, and choke on your fried chicken - is designed to bring people together, to have fun, and to create memorable experiences. The game is not just about playing; it's about interacting, laughing, and enjoying the time spent together. It's about sitting on the living room floor together and belly-laughing over the fact that you just defeated a powerful airplane fart with a sweet baby fart equipped with taco seasoning and broccoli casserole and that your opponent now has to fart from scratch. This game will resonate with you, your family, your friends, and your kids and definitely add a dash of humor to any of your gatherings, dinners, parties, and vacations. Of course, the launch of this game isn't just about the game: it's also about the entire Fart of War experience! When you become a fart - er, part - of the action, from branded bathroom spray to special edition whoopee cushions and boxers, we've got some seriously fun add-ons lined up for you. By visiting the brand-spankin' new, official Fart Of War website and getting onto the e-mail list, you'll be first in line for the first batch of this shiny new game. And if that's not enough, when you get on the e-mail list, you'll also find out how you can become a test player, test group, or test family for this game and all future games we produce in the future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
