B.rad Rebroadcast: Ben Greenfield - Cutting Edge Peak Performance and Longevity


Listen Later

It’s time for another rebroadcast episode as we head back into the archives for this early episode with the amazing Ben Greenfield.

Ben is a human information machine, biohacking wiz extraordinaire and just an extremely healthy, fit guy going on all kinds of channels with his expanded consciousness and his endless gratitude, and all his various interests, which you will hear about in this show: from spirituality to his great website and podcast to the books he has written (Boundless and Beyond Training), which are virtually encyclopedias with the kind of content you will not find in any other healthy living book, I truly don’t know how he does so much while producing so much content! But Ben really walks his walk; he lives and breathes what he talks about every day, so he is a great resource to listen to, as he has this unique ability to blend a scientific mindset with being a deep thinker and researcher (just read his blog on his website to see what an incredible writer he is). While Ben may not be for everyone because he is pretty hard-core, I think it’s important to reflect on the fact that most of us are very used to living a life of ease and convenience, and Ben challenges this common desire most people have to continue doing that by being the physical embodiment of this alternative way of living.

In this episode, you will hear Ben share how he is able to read one book a day (as well as tons of great quotes from various books that are peppered throughout the episode), what he considers as important to our lifespan as sunshine and water, how he developed such a robust attitude towards productivity, as well as the one thing he does not consume that helps free up a lot of his time and energy. Enjoy this episode and the rare treat of hearing from a human existing on the absolute edge of peak performance, Ben Greenfield!
