From the depths of depression to the cover of Playgirl, Ben’s journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode of Breaking Normal, we explore how his time in overseas “paradise” left him isolated and struggling—until surrendering to the possibility of staying stuck cracked open his heart. What followed was a deep dive into Buddhist principles, self-development, and a “glow and grow with the flow” lifestyle that’s reshaping every corner of his life.

We go far beyond the surface—covering everything from the philosophy of becoming “better looking” to transforming insecurities into beauty symbols, à la Marilyn Monroe’s iconic mole. Ben opens up about the art and meaning of his Playgirl cover shoot, which has already been photographed and will be released in October, the raw Buddhism of being naked, and the deeper psychology behind how he now interacts with women.

We also dive into his adventures ahead—Burning Man, Unison Fest, and beyond—plus why he chooses psychedelics over drinking, the lessons he’s learned from past relationships, and how Buddhist philosophy shapes his modern-day lifestyle.

What starts as a conversation about looks and modeling quickly reveals itself as a deep, playful, and refreshingly real exploration of transformation—inside and out.

In this Breaking Normal conversation, Dr. Christine Smith opens up in ways that go far beyond health data or protocols. Through a series of rapid-fire, curiosity-driven questions, we explore everything from the hidden injuries that silently drain vitality, to the overlooked body signals that whisper “something’s off,” to the myths about healing that hold us back.Our exchange moves fluidly between the physical and the philosophical—diving into subconscious rewiring, the strange beliefs people carry without realizing it, and even the big, playful question of who she was before the sperm met the egg. Along the way, Christine shares the moment she stopped trying to fit into any narrative and simply started speaking her truth—a shift that sparked quantum leaps in both her business and her life.One of her strongest convictions surfaces again and again: the modern healthcare system’s lack of touch. For Christine, touch is not just comforting—it’s medicine, a missing link that could transform patient care and human connection.This is a journey through depth, vulnerability, and empowerment, all tied together by a commitment to living—and healing—authentically.Connect with Dr. Christine Smith:    •    Website: depthwellness.com (https://www.depthwellness.com)    •    Instagram: @drchristinesmith (https://www.instagram.com/drchristinesmith)Get the book on Audible!https://www.audible.com/pd/Self-Development/Breaking-Normal-Audiobook/B074G49CW2Get the book on Amazon!https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071SBC7NC/ref=sr_1_16?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1495314934&sr=1-16&keywords=motivational+self+help+help_________STAY IN TOUCH ↣WEBSITE: http://breakingnormal.com↣FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/DanielEisenman↣INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/DanielEisenman↣TWITTER: https://twitter.com/DanielEisenman

    •    The wild choking incident this morning—and how not to take organ supplements

    •    Why I choose bison and elk over beef, and what most people don’t realize about the industry

    •    The Meat Mafia, bison politics, and things I’ve been hesitant to say publicly… until now

    •    The story of how Ryan discovered he had Hashimoto’s and the Chinese medicine doc who finally listened

    •    His core philosophy: “Test, Don’t Guess”

    •    How he met his wife on Tinder (yes, it still happens)

    •    What it meant to stand night watch for the tribe, protecting others from hyenas, lions, and leopards
