How To Get Beautiful SkinSonia says: She recently started eating a lot more eggs and her eczema flared up.

Gary Collins, pictured above, is a former FDA special agent. He was was born in Southern California, raised in the High Desert at the basin of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and has been involved in organized sports, nutrition and fitness for over 30 years. After a career in military intelligence, Gary worked for the U.S. State Department, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a Special Agent. His career took him around the world and gave him a unique perspective on not only how the United States, but the world is affected by our food, drug and healthcare policies. This took him from protecting some of the most powerful people in the world to investigations involving the biggest tainted pet food death case in the U.S. to the intricate dealings of one of the largest counterfeit prescription drug rings in the world. He has often said, “If American’s really knew what was going on in the area of healthcare and nutrition in this country, they would be appalled.”
So basically, Gary is a hybrid of a seasoned health expert and an investigator rolled into one. In addition to his published articles and Primal Power Method Series, (his total lifestyle reboot), Gary is also a contributor to the Brink of Freedom online magazine, Paleo Magazine and The Primal Show.
You can check out all Gray's products and his Primal Power Method on Amazon by clicking here.
During our discussion, you'll discover:
-What it's like to be a special agent with access to the inner workings of the FDA...
-Why Gary says "If American’s really knew what was going on in the area of healthcare and nutrition in this country, they would be appalled"...
-Why the supplements you're buying may be counterfeit and may not even be made by the manufacturer you think it's made by...
-Why so many so-called "experts" in the fitness industry are fat, sick or unhealthy or not practicing what they preach...
-Why Gary doesn't track blood, biomarkers, saliva, etc...
-And much more...
Do you have questions, comments or feedback for Gary Collins, or your thoughts about why so many fitness industry experts are fat, sick or unhealthy? Leave your comments at BenGreenfieldFitness.com and either Gary or I will reply. You can check out all Gray's products and his Primal Power Method on Amazon by clicking here.

I have several friends who I would consider to be VIP's, bigwigs, and leading authorities in the field of health and biohacking.
Although I will respectfully keep those friends anonymous, I've noted that a relatively large majority of them have one specific man who serves as their personal physician, and he's the same guy who advises some of the world's top Spartans, strongmen competitors and obstacle racers, including April Dee, Hector Mendoza and Orla Walsh, Frank Franco and Joey Patrolia. That man is Dr. Anthony Beck, and he's my guest on today's podcast. Dr. Beck is an author, speaker, and leader in the medical world with over 20 years experience in the areas of Functional Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, Orthomolecular Medicine, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Sports Medicine and Exercise Physiology. He maintains fur national medical board certifications, is the Medical Director for Task Force Dagger Foundation (which provides benevolent health care for U.S. military special forces operators and their families), is the founder and chief medical officer for Balance Protocol Institute, is the founder and CEO of Helion Nutraceuticals and is also the CEO of Hydration Solutions Inc. So not only is Dr. Beck a wealth of knowledge on advanced health tactics, medical testing, and the combination of biohacking and exercise performance, but he's also the mastermind behind a hydration tactic I've personally been experimenting with: a tiny invention called Oral I.V. In this interview, we delve into all of Dr. Beck's health secrets, and you'll discover:
-Why so many really smart people in the health industry and top pro athletes look to Dr. Beck as their personal physician...
-The exact food allergy panel that Dr. Beck recommends, and why he doesn't like the Cyrex panel...
-The eight different components that Dr. Beck tests as part of what he calls his "Balance" protocol...
-The exact science behind maximizing water delivery into cells...
-How water can carry an electrical charge, and how it creates something called an exclusion zone (also known as EZ water)...
-How much "less" water could you theoretically drink by using Oral IV...
-Why Dr. Beck believes that you do not need to take salt or electrolyte pills during exercise...
-The exact water restructuring and filtration system that Dr. Beck uses in his own home...
-And much more!

Mysterious, frustrating fatigue is one of the most common issues in the athletes, clients, soccer-moms and CEO's who I consult with. In fact, a recent study showed that nearly 40% of U.S. employees experienced significant fatigue in the previous two week period.
We all know about well-known causes of fatigue, such as a poor diet, food allergies, bad sleep, stress, etc. But what about when you're "doing everything right", but you're still tired, have brain fog, subpar workouts, or chronically low energy? What about those of us who eat right, get enough sleep, manage our stress, but still feel tired much of the time?
Today, my friend Dr. Isaac Jones joins the podcast to look into 5 lesser-known causes of fatigue that fly under the radar, but should definitely be ruled out if you’re doing everything right but still feel tired. So who exactly is Dr. Jones? Known as “the doctor of the future”, he is the world’s leading expert in high-performance concierge healthcare. As a successful entrepreneur and owner of 3 different companies, he is a trusted advisor and high-performance consultant to CEO’s and leading entrepreneurs around the world. He graduated from the most prestigious health and wellness doctorate program in America and has invested over $250,000 on advanced lab tests, health retreats, educational seminars and cutting-edge health certifications to help his clients gain an unfair competitive advantage. His company Designer Health Centers has received a certification from the United Nations for its “Excellence in Healthcare” for the work Dr. Jones did for the Royal Family in Saudi Arabia. He participates in a private “future of healthcare” mastermind with a small group of global thought leaders such as Sanjay Gupta MD and Jeff Arnold CEO of Sharecare.com who sold WebMD for $7.6 billion. During our discussion, you'll discover:
-Isaac's amazing story of how using functional medicine to heal his ADD, dyslexia and skin problems helped propel him to becoming one of the top 800m runners in North America...
-The underground method used in Russia and Europe to stop chronic infections in their tracks... -
Hidden sources of biotoxins in your environment, and how to test for and eliminate biotoxins...
-Why most Lyme tests don't really work, and what you should really be looking for when it comes to Lyme disease...
-The 3 different ways that mitochondrial dysfunction can occur, and exactly how to fix them...
-Five simple steps you can take to heal cells and mitochondria...
-And much more! Resources from this episode:
-Isaac's DesignerHealthCenter website -Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker's Surviving Mold website -Mold Warriors book by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker -Phage therapy -ispotlyme test from Neurorelief -Urinary test for methylation -Cardiolipins for mitochondria -3 day stool testing for gut inflammation and health -Dr. Dan Pompa's 5 R's of Cellular Healing -book: Missing Microbes: How the Overuse of Antibiotics Is Fueling Our Modern Plagues
