Listener Q&A:

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Skywalker Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick/Ninja.

The Science of the Runner's High

Celia asks: She is looking for a "Runner's High". She's been running since 2012 and has only experienced it a few times (with no common denominator or trigger). Do you know what causes the high and how she might be able to create one? She usually doesn't have trouble getting out the door for a training session but she can see how that might be a good motivator.

In my response I recommend: Paper - Phytocannabinoids beyond the Cannabis plant – do they exist? -Neuroendocrine panel from DirectLabs Is Vitamin B12 Megadosing Dangerous?

Jim asks: He has never heard us talk about mega-dosing with Vitamin B12. He is training hard and long for Ironman. He uses a drink called ZipFizz which has 41000% of the RDA of B12. The drink tastes good and it seems to give him an energy boost... but it could be placebo.

In my response I recommend: -Lifeshotz wild plant extract -High intake of fermented foods How To Track Every Element Of Your Fitness

Todd asks: He made a commitment to himself to be in better shape at 50 than he currently is at 46. He did the same thing at 30 for 35 and 35 for 40. He is looking for a quantifiable criteria or some number of metrics that he can test himself for, every couple of years, so it isn't just subjective.

In my response I recommend: -My Mass Made Simple podcast with Dan John -Blood Lactate and VO2 Max Testing -HRV and Pulse Oximeter testing as described in chapter 7 of Beyond Training book -Restwise -Mark's Daily Apple "Physical Fitness Standards" Best Natural Foods for Babies

Emilie asks: What food would you and Jessa introduce babies to, as they move towards the world of solid food, and in what order? Also, is there any point in introducing them to gluten at all so they might be able to tolerate it later on?

In my response I recommend: -NOW Foods Gluten Digesting Enzyme Healing The Skin Naturally

Allysa asks: She has the skin condition Keratosis Pilaris (unsightly red bumps or "chicken skin") on her upper arms. Some people grow out of it but she is 26 and doesn't think that will happen. Do you know the etiology of this? Is it a dietary, allergy, or hormone imbalance? Do you know of any food, creams or anything else that can help out with it?

In my response I recommend: -Book:

Health Myths That Waste Your Time: Supplements, Seed Oils, Cold Therapy, and More

Health Myths That Waste Your Time: Supplements, Seed Oils, Cold Therapy, and More

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/article/newsletter-1 Writing a book is a lot like childbirth—exhausting, and not something you rush back into the moment it’s over. I’ve never given birth, but I have written several books—and after finishing Boundless, I wasn’t too eager to jump straight into that process again. Until recently. There are just too many health myths wasting your time, energy, and attention—especially around supplements, cold and heat exposure, sleep, fasting, seed oils, red meat, carbohydrates, psychedelics, biohacking, and the modern obsession with living forever. So over the coming months, I’m going to tackle these types of topics through a weekly newsletter, article, and video series, which will eventually be crafted into my next book. If something resonates, let me know. If something falls flat, tell me. And if there’s a topic that deserves a deeper dive, point me there. Head to https://bengreenfieldlife.com/article/newsletter-1/ for today’s article, and drop any other feedback in the comments, including topics you think I should address in the book!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I share my thoughts on carbs (they’re not the enemy!), why the Mediterranean diet is often a solid fallback, and how to customize your approach—whether you’re training like an athlete or just trying to eat well on a budget. We also get real about fasting: I break down what works for high performers, how to balance longevity with peak performance, and what fasting windows actually make sense if you’re pushing your body hard. From there, we dissect the critical topic of heart health, talking through the difference between stable and unstable plaque, key diagnostic tools, and both natural and pharmaceutical strategies I’ve studied—and used personally—to keep my heart in top shape.

Unlocking Jaw Health: Mewing, Bioesthetic Dentistry, and Tongue Posture for Total Wellness LIFE Network: RAW Podcast #6

Unlocking Jaw Health: Mewing, Bioesthetic Dentistry, and Tongue Posture for Total Wellness LIFE Network: RAW Podcast #6

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lnraw06/ Welcome to RAW—my unfiltered solo podcast (hosted on LIFE Network), where you get the real, behind-the-scenes version of my life: the biohacking experiments I’m running on myself, the protocols I’m building and breaking, the tools and tech I’m stress-testing before anyone hears about them, the ideas in physiology, performance, and longevity I’m diving into, the beliefs I’m questioning, the routines I’m refining, and the unconventional stuff I’m actually doing day to day—no gloss, no script, just a direct line into what I’m thinking, testing, discovering, and living in real time. In this episode, we go deep into the “RAW” terrain of jaw mechanics—think controversial, awkward, and a tad nerdy, but game-changing for health. It all starts at a cocktail party when a Sherlock Holmes-style dentist spots red flags just by looking at his mouth. Cue a year-plus journey into bioesthetic dentistry, mindfully chewing food, and mastering “mewing” (tongue and jaw posture that even changes your face shape). What’s the big actionable win? Stop ignoring your mouth! Rethink your mechanics, posture, and oral hygiene—ditch the fluoride, embrace hydroxyapatite toothpaste, train your tongue to suction to your palate, and breathe through your nose like a pro. Bonus: mouth taping is not just for sleep geeks. Episode Sponsors: Just Thrive: Take the Just Thrive FEEL BETTER challenge today, and save 20% on your first Gut Essentials Bundle.
