TMHS 133: Accelerated Fat Loss And Going Beyond Training - With Ben Greenfield


Listen Later

Ben Greenfield walks his talk. He's one of the top health and fitness experts in the world because he's experimented with thousands of things firsthand and monitored the results that he got with his body. What works is shared ravenously; what doesn't is discarded. Pretty simple formula, but you've got to have some serious kahunas to do it.

I'm truly excited to have Ben on because he has a wealth of knowledge in so many different areas of health. Today you're going to learn some effective (yet little known) strategies for fat loss, surprising facts about building muscle, and even the real reason why Ben partakes in heart-pumping endurance events like triathlons and Spartan races (and it's not about fitness).

If you have any questions or comments from the interview, please feel free to share them in the comments section below. Enjoy the show!

In this episode you'll discover:
  • How Ben Greenfield became one of the top health and fitness experts in the world.
  • Why lots of personal experimentation is a huge leverage point in uncovering the best health practices (minus the explosive diarrhea).
