Podcast Episode #42: An Expert Interview on Bio-identical Hormone Replacement and Nutrient Therapy

If you've never given much thought to stimulating the tiny nerves in the bottom of your feet, training your eyes to move in a variety of directions, and even doing a bit of good old-fashioned jaw therapy, then you probably should - especially if you want better posture and enhanced physical and mental performance. Neuroscience now confirms that the pros and cons of your posture are based on the fundamental fact that performance and strength are not just related to the muscles but also to your brain’s connections with the body. There are a variety of tools and techniques to help recalibrate faulty motor patterns and postural alignment. My guest on this podcast, Annette Verpillot, has created the Posturepro Method, a course suitable for healthcare professionals, fitness practitioners, health enthusiasts, or anyone interested in improving their overall well-being. By taking a neuromechanical approach to musculoskeletal issues, the course focuses on improving communication between the brain and the body. The method can help remove compensatory movements and postural adaptations, leading to better posture and movement. With the course, you receive two parts and four modules with unique concepts, detailed notes and guides, a complete practitioner's toolkit, and a certificate upon completion. Participants also get access to free monthly webinars, discounts on products, and their own digital guide and summary sheets. Annette Verpillot is also the founder of Posturepro, a health company specializing in restoring the brain-body connection through some of the world’s most advanced rehabilitation and injury prevention techniques. Additionally, Annette actively works with clients, professional athletes, trainers, practitioners, researchers, and law enforcement officers to develop solutions that promote a healthy, long, and pain-free life. She has worked with strength specialists, elite athletes, and successful coaches from professional and collegial leagues such as: New Jersey Devils San Francisco 49ers University of New Mexico Men’s basketball team Florida Gators Men’s basketball team UNC Charlotte’s Men’s basketball team etc.  Visit https://bengreenfieldlife.com/posturepro and use code BEN15 for 15% off Full Show Notes here: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/posturepropodcast   Episode Sponsors: Timeline Nutrition: Timeline is offering 10% off your first order of Mitopure.

If you've been following me for a while, you've probably heard of peptides, but maybe not peptide bioregulators. Peptide bioregulators - which can be taken orally as a supplement - have been a secret of the anti-aging and longevity world for years, but are just now beginning to hit the mainstream. Peptide bioregulators are small protein molecules that can activate genes for cellular regeneration, acting as cellular mediators to regulate gene expression and protein synthesis. These molecules were first discovered decades ago during the Cold War when the Russian military exhibited signs of premature aging. In response, the Russian government embarked on a mission to find a solution to maintain the health of its troops and prevent aging. As a result, they discovered peptide bioregulators, which have been shown to have potential benefits for cellular health and regeneration. My guest on today's podcast, Phil Micans, has extensively studied Khavinson's work and is one of the world's leading experts on anti-aging, peptide bioregulators. Use code BGF15 for 15% off.

Everyone wants to slow down the signs of aging, but very few people are going about it the right way. The negative aspects of aging are one of the most ubiquitous challenges to quality of life. However, one thing is for sure: scientists believe that a big part of the reason we experience aging the way we do is because of stressed or worn-out cells called senescent cells. Senolytics is a term used to describe ingredients shown to help decrease these damaging senescent cells.  My guest on this show - Gregory Kelly - has helped to develop several rare and powerful compounds that have scientifically shown senolytic activity, and which collectively cover a broader range of mechanisms than existing senolytic supplements on the market. His protocol, which we discuss on this show, involves a two-day rejuvenation regimen that he suggests using every month. Intermittent short-duration dosing is the most common way that senolytics are used in studies, and data suggests that it can take weeks for senescent cells to re-accumulate in the body, which is why Greg recommends this approach. Greg's compound is called "Senolytic" and made by my friends at Neurohacker Collective.

Are you ready to learn how new science can teach you how to delay aging and provide a long, happy, healthy life for your canine companions? My guest on today's podcast - Dr. Karen Becker - is a true expert in natural pet care. See, like their human counterparts; dogs have been getting sicker and dying prematurely over the past few decades. Why? Scientists are beginning to understand that the chronic diseases afflicting humans—cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders—also beset canines. As a result, those beloved companions are vexed with preventable health problems throughout much of their lives and suffer shorter life spans. Because pets can’t make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves, it’s up to pet parents to make smart, science-backed choices for lasting vitality and health. In this show, Dr. Becker gives practical, proven tools to protect your loyal four-legged companions. She galvanizes the best wisdom from top geneticists, microbiologists, and longevity researchers and reveals people whose dogs have lived into their 20s and even 30s! Dr. Becker's pet prescriptive plan focuses on diet and nutrition, movement, environmental exposures, and stress reduction and can be tailored to the genetic predisposition of particular breeds or mixes. Medical breakthroughs have expanded choices for canine health—if you know what they are. This podcast is the definitive dog-care guide that empowers you with the knowledge you need to make wise choices and keep your dogs (and pets in general) healthy and happy for years to come.

My guest on this podcast, TJ Robinson, aka “The Olive Oil Hunter®” is well-known as one of the world's most respected authorities on all things olive oil. Widely acclaimed for his "platinum palate," TJ is one of the few Americans invited to serve as a judge in prestigious Italian olive oil tasting competitions. As the founder of The Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, TJ is dedicated to importing rare fresh-pressed olive oil, the most flavorful and most healthful extra virgin olive oil on the planet, until now virtually impossible to obtain year-round in the US. All his oils are independently lab-tested and certified for 100% purity. But what you probably don't know about TJ is that he has a plethora of knowledge about vinegar and spices too, and he recently introduced me and my family's palate to a whole new world of flavor-enhancing vinegar tactics that I never knew existed, straight from his new culinary collection of artisanal vinegar. At GreenfieldPantry.com, the vinegar is $98.00 for a 4-bottle set with shipping included - no club membership is required for the vinegar.

My guest on this podcast, Angi Fletcher, is a model, actress, blogger, triathlete, and well-known wellness and health authority. She is also one of the incredible parents featured in my new book Boundless Parenting. A full-time international model from the age of 18, Angi lived in Europe and New York before settling in Los Angeles. Difficult circumstances in Angi’s life - including divorce, financial ruin, the death of her parents, and debilitating anxiety and depression - eventually led her to seek health through detoxing, cleansing, and rebuilding her life. Angi’s husband, Arlynd Fletcher, is a functional movement and biomechanics specialist. After watching his mother suffer from back injuries throughout his childhood, Arlynd developed a drive to understand how the body works and what causes dysfunction. He has worked with many experts in the field in his research and has been called a modern-day “body whisperer.” Angi and Arlynd’s website is devoted to sharing their multi-therapeutic approach to wellness shaped by personal experiences and years of research. This approach includes mindset shifts, physical tools, income opportunities, nutrition tips, and more. Angi and Arlynd live in Texas with their three children.   For the full shownotes, visit: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/fletcher Episode sponsors: Inside Tracker: InsideTracker provides you with a personalized plan to build endurance, boost energy, and optimize your health for the long haul.

Five years ago and then a second time six months ago, I traveled to Park City, Utah, where I underwent the most advanced, comprehensive biohacking procedures for longevity that, to my knowledge at least, currently exists. I literally had almost every joint in my body injected with stem cells, from toe to head, and then several organs, too, including my skin and genitals. Don't laugh ... No surprises here: the effects were pretty profound for me, including notably faster workout recovery (as in, almost immediate recovery from soul-crushing workouts), getting sick less, a somewhat more youthful appearance (reduction of wrinkles, greater hair volume, darker hair coloration, etc.), shockingly improved sexual performance, particularly for erection firmness and size...pretty much everything else I wanted out of the procedure. It's one of the most cutting-edge forays into self-experimentation I've ever had performed on my body, and it's called a Full Body Stem Cell Makeover®. The procedure was designed by Dr. Harry Adelson and Dr. Amy Killen of the Docere Clinics®, and what it entailed was injecting my entire body with my own stem cells. A special variant of this procedure is making stem cell therapy available to a much wider base of people through a new clinic and a tithing program. You'll learn more about the background and history of stem cell therapy, the latest on musculoskeletal pain and longevity, and the future of stem cell treatments.    Episode Sponsors: Mobility Wall: Want to relieve pain and stiffness in just minutes a day?
