What is Adaptive Medicine?

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/adaptive

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Cody Strodtman, a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, and the author of "Your Life, Your Choice: The Rise of Adaptive Medicine." Broadcasting from their respective homes in Idaho and Portland, Oregon, Ben and Cody dive deep into the science of adaptive medicine—a philosophy that encourages listeners to transform everyday lifestyle practices into powerful medicine.

Cody unpacks the essence of adaptive medicine, drawing from a decade-long obsession with understanding health beyond just treating disease. You’ll hear compelling discussions on circadian rhythms, environmental hormesis (think: cold plunges and sauna sessions), breathwork, fasting, and innovative techniques to optimize both body and mind. Cody shares science-backed routines—from inspiratory muscle training that can lower blood pressure, to strategic uses of cold and heat for boosting immunity and recovery.

Dr. Cody Strodtman is a leading authority in Adaptive Medicine, blending his medical expertise and training as a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist, with a passion for empowering individuals to optimize their health. In his book, Your Life, Your Choice: The Rise of Adaptive Medicine, Dr. Strodtman offers foundational insights on preventing, treating, and reversing chronic diseases, while also enhancing performance and longevity. His unique approach emphasizes the power of lifestyle change, inspiring individuals to take control of their health through their behaviors.
