Why Water, Sunlight, Grounding & Relationships Are The Key To Your Health & How To Feed, Clean & Protect Your Body Forever: An Interview With Ben Greenfield's Father Gary Greenfield

Gary Greenfield is...

...my father...

...a leading expert in the field of water filtration...

...and a deep well of knowledge I've relied upon for the past 37 years of my life.

He's also, obviously, responsible for my very existence.

During this episode, you're going to discover more about the man who made me who I am, along with how structured water works, the best way to filter your water, why you should quit caring so much about what other people think about your health habits, and much, much more.

During our discussion, you'll discover: -Gary's early life and childhood [7:45]
  • Started in Miami
  • Father and uncle were successful entrepreneurs in the motivational speaking industry
  • His father invested time in his children
  • Athletic, but no interest in competitive sports
  • Brother was killed in gang fight at age 17 (turning point for him)
  • Began oceanography studies and excelled at it
  • 3 years after brother's death, moved to Idaho for a fresh start (age 20)
-How Gary "found God" shortly before moving to Idaho [18:00]
  • Was intrigued by the phrase "God's country" on a brochure for Idaho

  • Began ambulance service (non-emergency transport) and it grew fairly rapidly
  • Ran into resistance and opposition when he tried to expand into emergency services
