While some people choose to live in the moment for pleasure with little regard to consequences, others calculate and carefully consider what they consume, when they do and how they do it. Optimizing for physical and mental performances, reducing stress and improving lifespan and memory is worth more than a moment of pleasure, and it may be possible to biohack your way there.Ben Greenfield is a biohacker, fitness coach, endurance athlete, and bestselling author of more than a dozen books, including Boundless.

One of the best ways to know what your purpose is, what your passion is, is to think about what you enjoyed to do when you were young.” [24:06]“There are certain decisions that I think a child should be far more equipped to make young in life so that as they get older they are able to responsibly handle those decisions.” [30:04]“I am a Christian and I believe that God actually created a lot of these plants to allow him to be able to speak to us in a very deep and meaningful way when the time comes.” [36:12]“Everyone should be able to clearly and succinctly name their purpose in life.” [48:22]Follow Ben Greenfield:Website: https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/bengreenfieldfitness Twitter: https://twitter.com/bengreenfield Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bengreenfieldfitness/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BGFitness/ Podcast: https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/podcast/

Your body’s reaction to proteins and your immune response can be highly frustrating when you’re being instructed to follow “protocols” and standards of treatment.If you or someone you love has felt betrayed living a standard healthy lifestyle only to fall prey to gut issues, autoimmune disease and declining cognition, you’re not alone.Dr. Datis Kharrazian is a world-renowned functional medicine health care provider. He specializes in managing chronic diseases, autoimmunity and neurological problems. He treats his patients with non-pharmaceuticals, and is in extremely high demand from patients and other healthcare professionals wanting to learn his clinical models.In this episode, Dr. Kharrazian is addressing the flaw with medical treatments that over standardize what people are experiencing and the causes.

I think protocols are inefficient.” [42:09]“Stress when it’s controlled and it’s past a person’s abilities, can be devastating to the brain.” [46:35]“Whatever you can’t do, you do!
