631: The #1 Biohack Is Free (And It's Not Diet or Exercise) with Ben Greenfield
Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod
AI's Impact on Work and Family Time
Ben and Hal discuss AI's potential to displace jobs and the importance of adapting to preserve meaningful work.
Imagine that you've spent years optimizing your health, dialing in your routines, pushing yourself to the limit, and doing everything right, but something still feels missing.
In this conversation, we explore what it really means to live well and in alignment, along with the biohacks and daily habits, and how to approach your diet in a way that actually improves your health and well-being.
Today, I'm sitting down with my good friend, Ben Greenfield. Ben is a bestselling author, speaker, and world-renowned expert in biohacking and longevity, who has spent decades at the highest level of health, fitness, and human performance. But what makes this conversation so powerful is how his perspective has evolved—from extreme performance and optimization to a more meaningful, balanced, and intentional way of living focused on family, relationships, and legacy.
We also dive into how to approach testing your body, from blood work to hormones, including what to focus on for long-term health and cancer prevention. And beyond physical health, Ben shares the powerful rites of passage he's created for his sons and how intentionally instilling family values can shape confidence, independence, and purpose for generations.
