Episode #157: The Death of Gatorade – Should You Stop Using Electrolytes During Exercise?

From a young age, Justin Roethlingshoefer has always been self-motivated to improve, developing the discipline and work ethic necessary to excel. At 13 years old, his father said, “Son, talent will get you noticed, but consistency will get you paid,” setting up his quest of founding Own It. I met Justin when my wife and I presented to guests at his Own It event for couples in Napa Valley, and we hit it off right away. After being exposed to his deep body of knowledge and witnessing his passion for helping people achieve physical, mental, and life success, I knew I had to have him on the podcast. Today's show is all about optimizing not just your fitness, but your life — you'll get to explore topics like training for the Spartan DEKA FIT, using HRV tracking to measure human performance, understanding your purpose, taking ownership of your life, and much more! Justin's work focuses on peak performance, human optimization, and applying data and testing to create personalized blueprints. He excels at simplifying complex concepts, particularly within the Outer Energy team at Own It Coaching, where he takes the latest research on nutrition, training, and recovery and packages it into digestible, systematic, and applicable steps. Additionally, Justin is an Amazon best-selling author for his books: Intent, The Athletic Performance Blueprint, and Own It... …and now the brand new book we discuss in this show: The Power of Ownership: Redeem Your Health, Live Life by Design, and Break the Relentless Pursuit of Normal.

From his earliest years, Hagen Thiers battled relentless adversaries: headaches, dizziness, and the torment of sleepless nights. These problems persisted, and by the time he was 11 years old, he was diagnosed with electro-hypersensitivity. Now an expert and inventor in groundbreaking electromagnetic field (EMF) protection, Hagen joins me on the podcast to share his journey of creating technology that can protect you, your home, and your family from the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation. Just like him, around 10 percent of Germans live with the debilitating effects of electrosmog. For Hagen, escaping into areas with no electrosmog pollution wasn’t an option. In 2014, he founded Qi-Technologies, named after Hagen's advanced invention, which reduces the strength of electromagnetic fields in its vicinity by depolarizing artificial radiation, such as that emitted by mobile phones, Wi-Fi, and other sources of electrical pollution.  Since 2019, Hagen has been able to show numerous studies validating the effectiveness of Qi technology. Further studies are in progress. With a focus on delivering its products to customers internationally, Qi Technologies has now become Waveguard (use code BENGREENFIELD20 to save 20%). Join Hagen and me as we journey into the world of EMF protection and discover how you can safeguard yourself and your loved ones from the pervasive effects of electromagnetic radiation.

Alcohol and longevity — it's an extremely controversial topic that most health experts shy away from.  But I'm not afraid of courting controversy when there's scientific evidence to consider. Sure, you've heard the warnings about alcohol being a toxin that should be avoided at all costs — and in some cases this is true. But what if I told you that in moderate amounts (emphasis on moderate), alcohol can actually be beneficial for longevity and brain health? In this episode, I'm diving deep into the latest research on alcohol's effects on your body, and why I choose to drink almost every single day. First, I'll explain the concept of mitohormesis — how temporary stressors like alcohol can actually boost your mitochondrial function and resilience when consumed in the right amounts. Next, you'll gain insights into finding the "Goldilocks Zone" for your alcohol intake — the amount of alcohol consumption that provides health benefits without the notorious downsides of drinking too much booze. I'll also discuss supplements like dihydromyricetin (DHM) that can block alcohol's intoxicating effects while still allowing you to reap the rewards of moderate drinking. Additionally, you'll hear about using binders like chlorella, charcoal, and fruit pectin to remove toxins like acetaldehyde from your body after drinking, my routine for enjoying a nightly glass of organic wine or a cocktail, and recommendations for healthier alcoholic beverage choices like Dry Farm Wines, shrubs, and even ketone "alcohol" alternatives. Whether you're a teetotaler or a casual drinker, this episode might just reshape your thoughts around alcohol. By the end, if you choose to partake in this longevity strategy, you'll have a step-by-step game plan for your own conscientious alcohol consumption.
