Today's guest is a leader amoung the biohacking circle, the one and only Ben Greenfield. Ben is a health consultant, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author of a wide variety of books including the widely popular titles Beyond Training, Boundless, Fit Soul, Spiritual Disciplines Journal, the Boundless Cookbook and Endure. A former collegiate tennis, water polo and volleyball player, bodybuilder, 13-time Ironman triathlete and professional obstacle course racer, Ben has been voted by the NSCA as America’s top Personal Trainer and by Greatist as one of the top 100 Most Influential People In Health And Fitness.  A frequent contributor to health and wellness publications and websites and a highly sought-after speaker, Ben’s understanding of functional exercise, nutrition, and the delicate balance between performance and health has helped thousands of people around the world achieve their goals and improve their quality of life–from high-level CEOs to soccer moms to professional athletes and beyond. Ben also seeks to teach and inspire people to fully experience and joyfully savor all of God’s creation while optimizing their physical health Before arriving in Delhi, Ben and Kris discussed the workout plans and challenged themselves to stick to it, ensuring accountability for their fitness goals. During the intense workout session, they incorporated a concurrent style of training, combining strength exercises with cardio intervals to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. The structured routine included kettlebell exercises like alternating overhead presses and swings, followed by four-minute cardio bursts on the bike, providing a comprehensive full-body workout. Additionally, they integrated recovery exercises such as planks, emphasizing the importance of active recovery to optimize mobility and overall performance. This holistic approach to training not only enhances physical fitness but also cultivates mental resilience and discipline, driving consistent progress towards their fitness aspirations. Fatigue, and sluggishness, exploring conditions such as mold sensitivity, Epstein-Barr virus, and Lyme disease were a few of the topics discussed in this episode. By examining physiological parameters like thyroid function and conducting lab tests for mycotoxins and hormone levels, individuals can gain insights into potential health challenges. The conversation highlights the vital concept of the body as a battery, operating with an electrochemical gradient that can be influenced by environmental factors. Living in a modern world characterized by an "ancestral mismatch," where sedentary lifestyles and exposure to electronic devices prevail, drains the body's energy reserves. Key strategies for recharging include exposure to sunlight for ATP production, grounding to absorb negative ions from the Earth, and replenishing electrolytes with mineral-rich salts. Embracing biohacking tools like infrared lighting and optimizing sleep environments by minimizing exposure to electromagnetic fields during the night are crucial steps towards mitigating energy depletion and enhancing overall well-being. Key Takeaways  Accountability through pre-planned workouts facilitated adherence to fitness goals, fostering commitment and consistency in training efforts. Integration of concurrent training methods, combining strength exercises with cardio intervals, maximized workout efficiency and provided a comprehensive approach to physical conditioning. Understanding the body as a battery underscores the importance of actively recharging it amidst modern lifestyle challenges. Implementing simple yet effective strategies such as sunlight exposure, grounding, and mineral supplementation can help counteract the draining effects of environmental stressors on the body's energy reserves.  ---- More about Ben: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/ben-greenfield/ ---- Purchase Kris’s new Legacy Fat Loss trainer: https://www.krisgethinlegacy.com/ Save on all BiOptimizers products by using code KRIS10 at checkout https://bioptimizers.com/ To apply to train with Kris online 1-on-1 email info@krisgethin.com ---- Follow me on Instagram and feel free to DM about 1-1 online training @krisgethin For my preferred Biohacking and anti-aging supplements, go to https://bit.ly/kgbiostacklabs

In this podcast episode recorded in Mumbai during a tour of biohacking events, the speakers delve into the concept of biohacking and its implications for modern life. They explore how modern conveniences, while seemingly making life easier, have contributed to declining health due to a lack of physical activity and poor dietary choices. They emphasize the need for individuals to take control of their biology through education, accountability, and leveraging technology for health monitoring and optimization.
