Ben Greenfield chats with Jay Shetty about optimizing your body to be healthy. The enormous factors, including physical, emotional, and mental presence, hugely affect our fitness. It’s no longer just about going to the gym or doing a full body workout to stay fit and attain boundless energy. You are not crushing a healthy lifestyle if you’re only focusing on one aspect of yourself.  

Ben is a human performance consultant, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author of 17 books, including the widely popular titles Beyond Training, Boundless, Fit Soul, Spiritual Disciplines Journal and the Boundless Cookbook. He is also the founder of Kion, a nutritional supplements company that combines time-honored superfoods with modern science to allow human beings to achieve peak performance, defy aging, and live an adventurous, fulfilling, joyful, and limitless life.
